Come On, Is Paper Mario TTYD Really That Good?

Alex grills Felix for all the deets

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch is available on Nintendo Switch the 23rd of May 2024!

“You guys aren’t going to bully me right!?”

“Guess again, NERD!” Is my favorite line of dialogue in the entire game.

Alex... do you know Paper Mario fans? You're playing with fire with that title

[brianhullsvoice]

You know it's gonna be a good day when you hear there lovely it's Alex from Nintendo Life here"

Paper Mario is back baby! Paper Mario the Two Thousand Year Door for Switch 2!

[mrbroadwaydork]

Why are people downplaying that there are THREE new bosses in the game? That is new content, and we should be happy about that!

[Starcat]

Even M. Bison knows the answer to that is "Yes! YES!"

[artsykero]

Short answer is yes, it was my first actual RPG series and years later despite playing a ton of different JRPG its still in my top 3 alongside Xenoblade chronicles series and the of mana series

[velvetblueco]

So excited to experience it for my first time

[stevenblatnik]

Felix's laugh at the very ends blends perfectly into the ending sound effect.. It's like a continuation of his laugh.

I love Paper Mario & The Thousand and Twenty-Year Door.

Played through Paper Mario 64 for the 1st time months ago, once the remaster for this was announced. If you love storytelling, then these games are for you. Paper Mario 64 was amazing from start to finish & I recommend it if you haven’t tried it. I’m very excited to finally play the 2nd installment in the series today! Happy launch day!!

I still can't believe that they completely remade this game and I have it downloaded on my Switch rn. Totally surreal

[darkdragonmedeus]

Someone else mentioned that there were like 4 new bosses; but sadly, it looks like there's only 2. But both the new bosses have some real fun gimmicks; sadly they're both seem too easy if you know strategy to take them out.

[GreatShinobWlf]

I haven’t gotten into a single Mario rpg. 10 min of this game and I understand why it is easily the best of them

Another game that I wanna give a shout out to for utilizing different arrangements of the same musical piece based on the environment is Twilight Princess. The music is incredible in that game and they use the same melody to such great effect in so many different locations.

I'm still playing this game all the way and so far, it did not disappoint me. Not only is the game still as good as it was before, but now with upgraded tweaks like skipping option, an warp room to make backtracking less annoying, new content, etc., it makes the game even better than before. Like with Metroid Prime Remastered, the remake on the Switch is the superior version of playing The Thousand Year Door and I'm so happy this remake turns out so good right now. Hopefully this will bring Paper Mario back into it's glory game and makes the next game as spiritual to the gameplay as the first 2 Paper Mario games were. Now if only we had an Paper Mario 64 Remake and give it the same treatment as TTYD has, than I'll be super perky.

better than last 3 paper mario by a mile for sure

I loved PM 64 and TTYD. At times I enjoy PM64's simplicity a little more. It felt more tightly packaged and had better flow compared to TTYD. Mainly the issue was back tracking at times just felt tedious for the sake of padding not because it made sense.

I'll buy this and I still loved TTYD. I personally just enjoyed PM64 due to the tighter package it provided but TTYD was still a good follow up, something I haven't said about any other PM game since unfortunately. The series peaked in it's first two games.

[robertlauncher]

I like 64 more but it’s pretty good too. The remake taking out the ability to mash through text with B made it a game of “Pick your own poison” for me. I really hate Nintendo’s trend of making their games annoying to replay. Feels like we had a breakthrough with BotW and Mario Odyssey, and then everyone just got amnesia

[mrdarryljones]

I watched my son play this on the GameCube when he was in middle school! One of my favorite games to watch! Maybe after I share this video with him he’ll get it for the switch!
