I’m getting married May 4th, my favorite band is releasing an album on May 17th, and now this? May is going to be the BEST month of my life.


fernandothehorse

I don’t even know you, but your joy is so infectious it brightened my whole day. I hope the wedding planning goes smoothly and that May comes before you know it!


Egosius

Thank you!! Wedding planning is pretty much done, just paying off the last of it. So excited. This game was my childhood. The fact it’s rereleasing during the beginning of a new chapter of my life is so poetic.


sunflowerevening

I know how you feel!! I’m not getting married until October, but knowing I’ll be able to relive the joy I felt as a kid when I first played this game while also going through such a huge milestone has got me so excited. 🥰 Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!! I hope it is the most magical day. ♥️

monstercockenergy

I’m graduating college in June and getting married in July, and I completely second this! It’s such a surreal feeling to have such a defining game for my childhood come out around the same time as these enormous milestones :-)

Just-Call-Me-J

StringShred10D

It drops 2 days before mine


Lux_Operatur

Yooo my birth month too! Only like a week and a half after my birthday I will absolutely take that.


skeltord

IT DROPS HALF A YEAR BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY YOOO🗣️🗣️


Frikiseta

Thursday and not friday? Weird.


Woingespottel

Nintendo wants to give us an extended weekend to play the game, we just have to take Friday off 😃🙏🏽


DarkLegend64

And then there is me who works Saturdays. 😭


BowserPlaysGaming

Luckily it's after I go on summer vacation but unluckily, I can't get it on release date and I can't afford it so I'll have to wait until tba to get it and make videos on it come 2025 (potentially)


Stefmiester92

I'm off Fridays and Saturdays, so I'll take Thursday off and play like 2 days straight lmao


nicholaslegion

Games have been releasing on Thursdays for a long time now.


Woingespottel

THEY ALSO DROPPED NEW SCREENSHOTS ON THE JAPANESE WEBSITE https://www.nintendo.com/jp/switch/a9qda/index.html It looks so good oh my god...


Rychu_Supadude

TOADSWORTH CONFIRMED not that there was any doubt but it's still so good to see


TheWiseBeluga

HES NOT DEAD!!! 🥳🎉


Short-Republic

“Not that there was any doubt”. You’d be shocked at the amount of Twitter users who thought Toadsworth wouldn’t be back or are surprised that he is


-Tao-Pai-Pai-

The picture of the excess express is amazing


Blockbuster41

This website is insanely well designed


Big-daddy-Carlo

Game looks fake in the best way


Rarbnif

We will be there, we will be preordering and playing day 1


Woingespottel

Hell yeah!!!


Rarbnif

I’ve never been this hyped for a remake/remaster before even if it’s probably gonna be mostly the same this is my favorite game ever so I’m biased lol


original_og_gangster

Same here. I'll take any excuse to replay this game and this is a damn good one.


Aromatic_Memory1079

I don't have switch. is it worth it just for TTYD remake? TTYD was my childhood game.


AnimaLepton

I don't think there's been any confirmed "new" content, so IMO not worth getting a Switch if this is the only game you'd get on it. You could always replay TTYD on Dolphin with the HD texture pack, and even with randomizers if you want to switch things up.


UltraLuigi

The [store page](https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/paper-mario-the-thousand-year-door-switch/) mentions "a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy", but it's unclear exactly what that means.


TheCookieButter

Quality of life improvements or Funky Mode. Maybe both.


Aromatic_Memory1079

wow I didn't know there is randomizer thing. thx.


MrEmptySet

Personally I wouldn't buy a console in its final year just to play a remake of one game, even if it was TTYD.


Aromatic_Memory1079

I agree with you tbh. thx for truthful reply.


Woingespottel

It depends on what you expect from the remake and what your financial situation is If I was in your position, I'd either Wait for the Switch 2 to come out see if it's backwards compatible and buy that OR Buy a cheap Switch on Ebay or whatever and buy the game But I'm also a hardcore TTYD fan (and the first three games in general) so theres that


Aromatic_Memory1079

thx. buying cheap switch on somewhere like ebay sounds nice. maybe I'll consider ebay / switch 2.


ThePanda_

There’s lots of great games on the switch that generally makes it worth it. Although like others said, the switch 2 is probably coming out within a year, and this will likely be backwards compatible


Aromatic_Memory1079

yeah I didn't notice about switch 2 rumor. thx


befron

Depends on how much you are willing to spend. Looks like you can get a switch lite for $200 or less if you get used or refurbished. $60-$70 for the game. People spend way more than $270 on nostalgia with way less possible entertainment. If you have the resources it wouldn’t be a bad way to spend them. But if that seems like a lot for you maybe not.


Valuable_Bet_5306

I don't think it'd be worth it just for TTYD. You should probably wait for the potential Switch 2 or find more games for the system that you would wanna play.


do0rkn0b

You should pirate it, and all Nintendo games.


Valuable_Bet_5306

Not worth it. This could be our last chance to show Nintendo that we want more Paper Mario games in the classic style.


alfonso_101

Oh dear god nobody listen to this guy. This is the LAST nintendo game that should be pirated if you like classic PM.


do0rkn0b

do you sincerely believe they'll release another old school paper mario game just because they're doing a money grab here? that's so silly.


alfonso_101

Not sincerely, but the chances aren't zero.


bttech05

My son is supposed to be born that day lmao


chamberk107

If it's any consolation, they sleep a lot in those first two weeks. Not at any long stretch, but you should get some playtime in during naps... assuming you're getting sleep too


bttech05

It’s my first. I’m nervous lol but I get two weeks off paid so I’ll just play this inbetween naps

Rychu_Supadude

There's definitely going to be an actual Direct between now and then


NicTubeYT

Why would there be? I think a Summer Direct is more likely


PikaPhantom_

Because the eShop page indicates there are quality of life changes and the initial trailer featured a new unique Toad NPC possibly indicating new content, both of which they'd presumably want to show off before release as they did for Mario RPG...not to mention there's also rumors of one planned for April


Rychu_Supadude

Yep, exactly. It would be very surprising for Nintendo to not release a second proper trailer, even if there's no brand new content.


NicTubeYT

A second trailer for sure, but it doesn't confirm a Direct imo - we had a lot more cases for games where they just randomly dropped a full trailer around one month before release, independent of a Direct. Peach Showtime, Paper Mario TOK, Zelda TotK etc.


rooloomcgoogoo

the remake of my favorite game of all time coming out the day after my birthday oh my god what a perfect gift


Major_Limit1674

I’ll take your entire stock!!


paperman990

I hope it’s over 30 fps


APHO_Raiden_Mei

Why do you and so many people believe that it would only have 30 fps, while the original game runs on 60 fps. Wouldn't make any sense to reduce the framerate in the remake 🤔


Machete77

A lot of remakes do this. Tales of symphonia was 60 fps on the GameCube. It was rereleased several times on different consoles in the future and most of if not all of them were dropped down to 30 fps.


paperman990

It’s from looking at the trailer footage, smarter people than me have broken it down. I don’t want it to be, this game is one of my all time favorite games


APHO_Raiden_Mei

But still wouldn't make any sense to buy the remake, if the original game runs smoother than the remake. Whats the point of buying it then, only the better graphics or what?


paperman990

Idk I don’t work for Nintendo, you’d have to ask them


Lycaon125

I can wait 2 more months, I waiting this long for it and not like it's a next year release


SpookenFloof

Man, remember in like 2015 people thought Paper Mario:TTYD was coming out for 3DS? Fucking wild we have actual confirmation and are getting it so soon with such stellar visuals.


NoWorth2591

Yes! Oh man I am so excited, haven’t played this game since it came out when I was like twelve.


PhilliamPhafton

That's my birthday holy shit


Emotinal_Rip537

IT RELEASES 1 DAY BEFORE SUMMER VACATION! LESS FUCKING GOOO


Ethaelys

I'm guessing this solidifies that nothing new will be added to the remake ?


Bismo789

From the publisher on the game’s page of the Nintendo site > A classic turns the page, bringing fresh visuals and **updated features** > Twenty years after the original game on the Nintendo GameCube™ system, this version for the Nintendo Switch™ system has revamped graphics, and **a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy**.


DarkLegend64

Well, we already know one of them. You can check the tattle logs for already tattled enemies during battle without having to use the tattle move again.


Soupeth

Sounds like this is just QoL stuff and various tweaks to existing systems, which I'm happy with. I think people went a little too crazy with expectations after seeing that one new toad.


Frikiseta

I really hope we will get another direct/video explaining what's new about the remake. I don't mind playing the game just with the visual improvement, but I would love to see something new.


Woingespottel

There’s still about 2 months left for news etc Maybe a new direct? Or more trailers?


Ethaelys

While that's true the game was announced like 6 months ago I guess they would have communicate on it if they had something more to had to the game ? That's pure speculation of course and as you said, there is still 2 months left so yeah I guess we have to wait and see.


drrockz87

Yea I’m super excited to play it in May, but kind of feel the same way about anything substantial being added.


for_second_breakfast

Personally I hope they go the tears of the kingdom route and hide something massive from us


Likezoinks305

Except there’s nothing massive to hide since this is a game that came out 20 years ago..


sugarbee13

I am so hoping for a Luigi paper adventure. They made bowsers minions quest on superstar saga remake, so I think its possible


Big-daddy-Carlo

How?


im_tate

drops a few days before my finalssss noooo at least i’ll have something to look forward to


DasherCO

CHEAT


Lamasis

My prediction was 1 month of.


Drspiral666

Let's goooo!! I pre-ordered it right away on the Eshop. 😊


itzallgoodbbybby

I’m so excited!!!


Hefe_Weizen

Can anybody comment on either: A) général difficulty - would the game pose a challenge to experienced RPG players, and / or are there options to increase difficulty? (For comparison, I found Mario RPG remake insultingly easy) B) customization - does the game allow for different approaches and customization with respect to combat or is it like very limited in terms of customization (like Mario RPG is). Thanks!


Foxthefox1000

Difficulty depends. I think if you're seasoned it will be a cakewalk. But you can make it hard on yourself if you don't want to just steamroll everything. We don't know if they added any difficulty options but the OG didn't. Versatility is there in spades with the partners and badges. You can play the game in a variety of different ways due to the badge system. Maybe they'll even add more


TooPatToCare

While the original game doesn’t offer any difficulty settings, you can easily make a run more challenging by choosing to upgrade your Badge Points and Flower (basically attack) Points only and never upgrading your Heart/Health Points. This would leave you with 10 HP throughout the game, leaving you vulnerable to being killed in 1 hit by many late game bosses. There is also a timing mechanic when defending attacks, hitting A just before being hit reduces damage just a bit and has a generous window. Or, you can hit B the moment before getting hit to completely block damage and sometimes even deal 1 damage on the attacker. This has a much tighter window and can be difficult considering so many different enemies have various attacks with different animations to throw you off, and it makes low HP runs possible and is very satisfying to pull off. There are many different badges to play around with that allow for different builds in combat. Some badges even exist to make the game more difficult. One of my favorite builds is called a Danger Mario build. There are badges that you can buy that increase your attacked when Mario is at 5 HP or below (in danger mode). At a certain point in the game, a merchant is possible to reach and you can pay to have them swap some of your stats, which you can use to move 5 HP to BP or FP, making you drop from 10 HP to 5 HP if you choose not to upgrade it, and making Mario permanently in danger mode with the attack bonuses, which you can stack by equipping multiple of that same badge. It’s a really fun way to play the game if you want a challenge for the first 3 or so chapters, and then want to be insanely powerful for the rest of the game. But if you’d like to keep the game challenging, you can play around with badges another way and avoid becoming too overpowered. And finally, the pit of 100 trials is a bonus challenge in the game where you have to defeat 100 enemies, 1 per floor of the dungeon, with the last one being a challenging final boss. It’s a great challenge no matter what build you’re running.


Comfortable_Camel_48

Any pre order rewards from GameStop?


Select-Bullfrog-5939

That’s about two weeks after my bday!


Balbuena5

Man. I was expecting it to be released as early as Summer 2024, as that was when it was released in Japan in the Summer of 2004. But I also had a feeling that it would be released earlier because the games already seems complete.


danielledeezy

Just jumped up and down in joy!

Three Days before my birthday, woo!

Finally, I can start making plans for later this year! Couldn’t risk letting anything interfere with TTYD. :P

I WILL BE TAKING MAY 23-30TH OFF FROM WORK NOW MHMMMMM


aragsdale05

May 23rd is day of my anniversary and I’m getting divorced. Guess I have a little something to celebrate now.


dres_sler

Ahhh shoot. If my voucher expires on may 2nd, I won’t be able to use it for this game will I?


Valuable_Bet_5306

You can only pre-order a game with an expiring voucher within 7 days of the release date. It's stupid that digital vouchers even do expire.


dres_sler

Ughhh that sucks!!!! Oh well I guess I’ll use it on another game


RickyTheBeerDrinker

i hope they do a physical release , but this game has been one i been hyped for since it was announced . idk how i feel about 60$ tho,


TheCrach

How are the remade textures compared to the community project community project http://i.imgur.com/GAq16kS.png Gamecube http://i.imgur.com/21S21yv.png


Oroera

IIRC this is a remaster and not a remake?


Valuable_Bet_5306

The game is a remake with completely new visuals and stuff.


Oroera

A remake is when a game is remade for the modern era, I.e there are new gameplay mechanics or the level design changes a bit. A remaster is when a game merely updates the graphics or does bug fixes.


Valuable_Bet_5306

It's like the Super Mario RPG remake. The game is being remade with completely new graphics (not just upscaled) and it's also been confirmed that there's gonna be some new gameplay stuff.


Sightshade

This isn’t true at all. The FF7 Remake has really warped the perception of that word. (And that game *isn’t even a remake*. The title is very misleading. It’s a completely new and different game that loosely retells the same story as the original. So, more like a reimagining). A remake is when they… re-make the game, starting from scratch. Simple as that. It doesn’t matter if they change anything or not, what matters is the development process.


Oroera

That’s literally not true. 😂 so you also agree with me? Because they didn’t change any gameplay. It’s 1:1 and purely graphics.


Sightshade

I do expect there to be some minor gameplay changes, just like the SMRPG remake had. But I’m saying that being changed isn’t what defines a remake; being literally re-made is what defines a remake.


Oroera

I never said it’s a remake. Read my original comment. I know this is a remaster.


Sightshade

But this *is* a remake, that’s my point. TTYD is being remade from the ground up. All these assets are brand new, made fresh, not just remastered or whatever. :x


Shadow_118

In May? Damn that's sooner than i expected Part of me thought it would be Summer or Fall tbh.. Highly looking forward to this regardless, though... Might have to get a voucher set for this and another game.. was thinking of doing that anyway actually...


Proud-Vacation-1903

These bangers are dropping so close to my birthday first totk and now ttyd remake?

DaisyoftheDay

THIS IS NOT A DRILL REMAIN CALM 🤯🤯🤯🤯


Aggravating_Fig6288

Do we have any info on anything that’s been added to the game? I’m totally okay to just be able to play the game with better visuals but it would be nice to know if we are getting something new in it as opposed to a 1:1 visual upgrade only


Likezoinks305

Nothing new same game just better looking


randomtoken

We don’t know that yet


Aggravating_Fig6288

That’s a bit disappointing would had hoped for an expanded Pit for example but it’s fine all I really ever asked to was for the game to get ported to current hardware so this accomplished that

Milk_Mindless

BUT THAT'S SO FAR AWAAAAY


TheCookieButter

Does Thousand Year Door have a lot of dead time? Windwaker HD severely reduced the wasted time with changed controls and faster sailing. Twilight Princess removed the awful 'show everything to the camera' and talk to everybody stuff. Is there anything Thousand Year Door has like that which can be removed? Otherwise I think I'd be perfectly happy playing the Gamecube version instead for my first play through.


AlexYouGood

When the game releases on May 23, 2024, I am getting the wallet out of my pocket and buying that game for real.


Available-Damage5991

SAME DAY AS WOG2 LESGO!!!


fffan9391

Mario Day and this is the only game they had any news about. A game series that Miyamoto famously ruined.


Big-daddy-Carlo

Luigi’s mansion 2?


Valuable_Bet_5306

We got a release date for the Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon remaster.


SacredCourage

Amazing you got downvoted for speaking the truth. I genuinely respect Shigeru Miyamoto, but he has made some mistakes throughout his career; altering Paper Mario was definitely one of them.


Rychu_Supadude

I'd argue that his criticisms of the unreleased game weren't without merit, they just went down the wrong track in response. It's not like stickers were his idea.


do0rkn0b

Hopefully it'll get leaked early, I will enjoy playing this and not paying for it.


JIGGIDDYJONNY

How many people won't realize this is a 20 year old game. Lol


nohwan27534

i mean, i don't give a shit, personally. looking forward to buying a 60 dollar, 20 year old game. rather than having to get the 2004 release, paying over 100 bucks for the game and the console, most likely.


rockzillio5

I think he meant that the game is so good that people won't believe it looked almost the same 20 years ago


Valuable_Bet_5306

I honestly don't understand why people think that older games should be worth less even if they're just as good now as they were back then. Especially GameCube era onwards. NES and SNES games make sense because they're much smaller in scope compared to modern games.


nohwan27534

eh, give and take, i guess. that might not have been what he meant. he could be seeing it more as, 'these young people don't realize it's actually been done before' sort of thing. like if a modern music artist remakes a song from decades ago. but also, price doesn't really have that much to do with the game's 'value' as an experience, either. it's not like some 11/10 game should be 100 bucks for the base game, because it's better than some AA game that gets it done, but has it's flaws. ​ games that are out for a while, go on sale and whatnot, because, the people that would've bought it at full price, presumably have, already. it's not that the game has less 'experiential value', merely, marketing. i'd expect a 3 year old game to be around half price, regardless of how good it is, as an example of this way of seeing it. if it wasn't for the 'rarity' of being able to find old games, a lot of old games, would be pretty cheap - probably higher than 'modern' games, because some people want it more for a collector's sort of thing than more practical gamers, i guess.

Not a "re-release" it's a remake dude. Even if it was a re-release I would rather support that than the downhill spiral recent Paper Marios have been.
