Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Review
Ойындар
Let's get straight to the (unsurprising) statement: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Nintendo Switch is an incredible turn-based RPG that is every bit as charming, witty, and joyful today as it was two decades ago. Much like 2023's Super Mario RPG, Nintendo didn't mess with the formula so this is the game you know and love, only it's prettier, sounds better, and includes several meaningful quality-of-life updates. But whereas Super Mario RPG was quite obviously an old game reborn for a new generation, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door stands toe-to-toe with the best turn-based RPGs of the current console generation.

As someone who grew up with both the first two Paper Mario games, and stopped playing the series after trying the 3rd one, I'll buy this game just to show Nintendo that this is the version and style of Paper Mario I want going forward if they make another one. Might as well put my money where my mouth is. I also haven't played the game since I was a kid, so after I clear my gaming schedule I'll make some time for it.
Paper Mario TTYD deserves the praise it gets, we've been askin for a remaster, a port of this game for looong time n here we are with a remake!

OG was *60 FPS.* Remake is *30 FPS.* So it is more of a..... *Demake?* (And before you tell me how you "don't care about FPS", this game has *action-based/time-based button press mechanics* and so FPS DOES MATTER here IMO)

Dear certain TTYD Fans: This is your only chance to show Nintendo that you want old Paper Mario back, and you're not gonna support the game all because of it not having a few more FPS? That's so silly to me that such passionate fans who wants the classic style back won't play because of something so minor. Most Switch games are in 30 FPS anyway. Please tell Nintendo that THIS is the type of game you want by buying it!

The Paper Mario formula should be like TTYD. I do support some changed to the formula, so it doesn't get stale but still, this nailed the formula well and IDK why they dropped this formula. (Still think Super Paper Mario is good tho)
What I don't understand is, why didn't they remake Paper Mario 64 first? That game is older, and would make sense to be remade first to align with the release order of RPG -> 64 -> TTYD.

@@XiaoPichuTo be fair, Super Mario RPG got a SNES remake when it could’ve easily got an NSO port instead, but IG it’s because that series hasn’t seen the light of day in 27+ years. Paper Mario is ongoing, but to put the first 2 RPGs on Switch, their best bet was to put the first game on NSO, and give the second game a remake. If PM64 got the remake treatment instead, TTYD would get no representation. (And Switch 1 ain’t getting a GameCube NSO either, prob Switch 2 tho, but still)

TTYD has some action elements in battles, where you need to perform actions with the right timing to increase your damage output or reduce the damage you take. You can negate attack damage entirely if you press the right button with incredibly precise timing. I don't really think this really makes 30 FPS a problem, but that's probably why there are complaints.
