Video: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Gets A Five-Minute Overview Trailer

I never played the original growing up as I didn't own a Gamecube. I'll give it a go.

Honestly, concept art and a jukebox are probably all the game needs to be worth it. Good thing too, since it doesn't look like we're getting much else.

Best game of all time. I've been really contemplating getting it both physically and digitally, which is something I've NEVER done before--just because I want this game to be a financial success and send a message to Nintendo that more of this is what we want.

Im so excited! Ive missed all the ganecube and wii era and this game has been on my radar but never had the chance... now I do 😊. So excited, even replayed Paper Mario 64 to prepare for this game

@TtimeXP @Fangleman32

I don't want to overhype it, but you guys are in for such a treat. Honestly, I don't think I can overhype it. Even if you go in with the highest of expectations, I think the majority of players will still be blown away. This is the special kind of game that makes you wish you could wipe your memory and experience it fresh all over again, so I'm envious of you. It's just a masterpiece with so many twists and turns throughout the narrative you'll never see coming.

It's the most well-written Nintendo game there is, with a deep plot that can go toe-to-toe with any other franchise. Tons of memorable characters with rich personalities and fun designs. The humor is top-notch, and there are moments where you're very likely to cry. There are plot twists that will make you audibly gasp. Tons of lore and funny new quips you can get from revisiting old NPC's after each chapter. It's worth talking to everyone multiple times; there's dialogue options I haven't even seen across my several playthroughs due to just how much text there is.

The battle mechanics are also incredibly fun and engaging, and I say that as someone who finds that turn-based RPG's don't always click with me. There's just... so much to love about this game. It's so rich in content and personality and... it's just perfection, man. I don't know what more I can say. Like I said, I'm not even concerned about over-hyping the experience for you guys because I'm so confident you'll walk away amazed.

Would I take a bullet for this game? Well, I don't want to be dramatic, but at this point in my life, I don't have like a wife or kids who are dependent on me or anything, so... I don't see why not. 😛

I can't wait! Finally a proper Paper Mario game again.. even if it is a remake/remaster. This had better sell well, or else the spin-off franchise truly is dead.

a music player and concept art is the minimum i could hope for from a remake lol, but the latter is surprising. it really feels like theyre want to respect the legacy of this game in a way theyve ignored for so long

i can only hope this game sells well enough this late into the switches life, its a beast of a title

I feel slightly ashamed that I forgot that Doopliss was in this game until watching this.

Something I'd actually really like to see added would be a new game plus mode. A lot of the more gimmicky and weird badges are only gotten very late in the game, it'd be fun to be able to transfer them over to a new run to see how much that can mix up repeat playthroughs. Certainly would make some stuff that's functionally useless due to when you get it like Return Postage a lot more viable.

Also the wheel for selecting party members is kind of an interesting decision. Doubt it'll really be functionally different from the menu that was there before but still.

Trailer at 30fps.

I know it doesn't bother many but this game with 2d sprites against 3d background would look fantastic at 60fps and the fact that the original was a 60fps game makes this immensely disappointing.

Hoping it was just uploaded at the wrong framerate but doubtful.

I am waiting to know what they actually changed before buying.

@Not_Soos For those who have not played, you should listen to this dude. This game set a new benchmark - it's hilarious, heartfelt, has absolutely insane amounts of ingenuity & fun twists. Hands down, best Mario game ever & definitely in my top games of all time.

IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!! Honestly I don't see why someone wouldn't get this game, it is one of the best of all time! These graphics are insanely good and insanely smooth. Great job Nintendo for doing this masterpiece justice!

The new content looks great. I would've taken the original by itself, anything else is just icing on the cake.

There's a new GameCube badge seen in footage, my guess is that it'll change the OST to the original!

Great!!! This is one of the best games ever.

I feel like Nintendo should really start putting together the localized version of these overviews online live concurrently. I want to know what they're saying when explaining the features of the game, so I invariably wait and sometimes I miss the updated articles or videos that go around social media.

Anyway, this game is a must for me. Very excited for it and to eventually watch the overview, in English.

@Not_Soos Loved your comment. Yes, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is all that and more. Plus... If Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door doesn't sell well... We might get... Shudders... Paper Mario: Sticker Star HD...

The trailer was so wild and colourful, even for a Paper Mario game. Amazing! I think this will be the perfect game after the calm and relaxing Endless Ocean: Luminous.

Concept art and a jukebox are very welcome.

I really hope Nintendo never does this many Mario games ever again. Ever since last October it feels like every month is nothing but Mario with nothing much in terms of first party titles.

@Joker1234 they’ll stop making Mario games when ATLUS stops making Persona 5 spin-offs.

@Croctopus ikr the game looks so smooth, but since that's the only thing people CAN complain about this game, some people just will.

@Joker1234 this is a 2nd party game by IS. Mario is Nintendo's biggest franchise. What does it matter, anyways? He's covered almost every genre in just the past few years, and most of these games are great (especially this one!)

@JohnnyMind It was on the website, I don't remember for sure if it was in the trailer or not https://www.nintendo.com/jp/switch/a9qda/field/index.html this is where it can be found

@PikminMarioKirby I wouldn't buy it yet because we still don't know what changes they made from the original.

@Swooce Well, we're getting a training thing, concept art, music player, new NPC(s), I think we've heard several new songs (and we don't know where they will play as of now), new graphics, new music remixes, new expressions/sprites, etc.

...And it's pretty likely we'll see more, since we don't know where several of these songs play.

EXCLUSIVE:
When you equip the GameCube badge, Mario's house turns into a giant GameCube.

I've only recently really gotten into the Paper Mario series, I played The Origami King and I'm playing the original now, so I'm super excited for this to release. It definitely LOOKS like the best in the series, even disregarding the unanimous praise it gets. Day one buy for sure.

@PikminMarioKirby That's great that they're adding all of those things, but what about in terms of QoL features? I heard you do a lot of backtracking in this game so I really hope there'll be a way to cut down at least most of the time you spend doing that. Like maybe a fast travel badge or something.

@JohnnyMind No Problem!

@Swooce Well, there's a new better way to switch out your ally, I believe some minor changes to Tattling, new training thing, etc.

I've played the original, and I can say first-hand that the backtracking isn't bad. In fact, it's quite useful for leveling up and revisiting places. Some people make it seem worse than it is. We already have the shortcut pipes, which can help with those things.

I never pre-order games, but I made an exception for this one. This was my childhood Mario RPG, and they look to have done a bang-up job of remaking it for the modern era.

PSA for those in the US who haven't snagged a copy yet: https://geekalliance.com/products/paper-mario-the-thousand-year-door-us-1
It's $10 off here. These guys are legit; they just ship out day of release, so you'll have to wait a few days.

@PikminMarioKirby You know, I don't think anyone ever mentioned the shortcut pipes in any of the reviews I've seen for the original TTYD so it's actually pretty reassuring to know that those are in the game. I still think I'm going to wait and see what other changes they've made before deciding on whether or not I'm going to buy it or not though. Because you never know, they could have made a few bad changes and just aren't showing any of them.

Glad to see that Pianta Parlour is still mostly intact. I was worried that it would be completely overhauled due to the ridiculous PEGI regulations regarding simulated gambling here in Europe. I'm happy that's not the case here!

@ArcadianLegend99 That’s a really good deal. Thank you for the link.
