Could be that the inconsistency of style between TTYD/Super to Origami King was enough that Nintendo felt remaking it would bridge the gap a bit more. Besides the visuals/jazzy remixes I'm also noticing other TOK influences like characters having unique sound effects for when they talk.This seems kind of unnecessary because the original game still looks great and this is just slightly different more than it is better. From what they showed I'm not sure why it wasn't just a port, hopefully they've done like... anything to justify the effort of remaking it. Will they even be brave enough to address Vivian in the English version now?
If nothing else the remastered soundtrack could be pretty sick I guess.
Also interested in the discourse of "maybe the Mario Shadow Council was right" when people get to see how weirdly horny this game was again.
The NPCs in TTYD are a lot more important and individualized to the story unlike the mario and luigi remake.I mean in the grand scheme of things was dumb to assume a remake would entirely sanitize things but the Mario & Luigi remake is still a precedent for things being sanded down a bit, even if not to that insane a degree. Comparatively this trailer went out of its way to show all the weird shit in the original game plus even smaller stuff like the original Boo designs which I absolutely appreciate.
It'll be really bizarre now if the next new Paper Mario still has an army of mostly nameless identical toads and NPC's though; give me TOK's open-world design and style but with TTYD's plot and world-building!
Given it's an HD update to a 20-year-old game not built around high polygon count, as long as it offers a higher res mode it won't seem particularly worse than if it was a Switch 2 release.This better fucking sell well, I swear to god. Show Nintendo that THIS is the Paper Mario people want
The fact that it's a Switch game launching in the same year as the Switch successor, probably without any new content, does not bode well
Yup and this is weird because PM64's pacing is practically perfect.I hope they fix the pacing issues, it drags
This better fucking sell well, I swear to god. Show Nintendo that THIS is the Paper Mario people want
lmaoo I’m kinda glad Pyoro didn’t leak this! It was MAGICAL!They probably used it on Pyoro
I don’t think so. They would have specified, seeing as how announced titles were heavy up until April. I’m thinking October, like the OG versionProbably is a early 2024 game, probably April, or could maybe even share the March month with Peach or something.
According to VGChartz, not very reliable, and as of December 2014, PMTTYD had sold 1,900,000 copies. This HD version can easily reach that.Remakes usually sell less than new games and this is coming late in the Switch’s life so I doubt Nintendo’s own expectations are this high.
Didn’t know this was a thing! 0_0They should add the Toad murder scene in the back alley from the Japanese version of the game.
Pm64 is already on switch online. No point in remaking a game that you already have on the system.Yup and this is weird because PM64's pacing is practically perfect.
It really isn't no matter how loud its fanbase is.
PM64 should have come first.
if the sucessor it bc it will be fineThis better fucking sell well, I swear to god. Show Nintendo that THIS is the Paper Mario people want

Nah, Nintendo just usually don't put release dates for games releasing in more than 6 months. And they tend to not announce games more than 9 months before their release (apart from a very few big games, or games that get delayed)I don’t think so.

Needs a few QoL improvements and deserves a more polished style.You can already play pm64 on switch online.
Good points! I wonder what they’re waiting on to announce release dateNah, Nintendo just usually don't put release dates for games releasing in more than 6 months.

No way they announce a 1:1 remake of TTYD 13 months ahead of release.
Nintendo often does that, especially for the September direct. They just announce it's releasing next year, and suddenly at the February Direct they say it's coming in 2 or 3 months.Good points! I wonder what they’re waiting on to announce release date
Sadly, this will most likely be the case, including the busted difficulty curve and balancing. They could at least give the localization a fresh edit to make Vivian trans like in the original.Honestly expect it to be a 1:1 recreation of the OG, pacing issues and corridor level designs included.
The whole trailer screamed to me : "see, see ? It's the same game, it's what you wanted right ? We didn't change anything in your cult classic"
Because it's "cool" to hate TTYD these days.Man I didn’t realize there had been so much backlash against TTYD. It’s fair to critique the backtracking, but it’s still a very good game. Great writing and mechanically an improvement on 64.
I am actually anticipating discourse surrounding this topic, I think Nintendo is going to keep the translation the same as original US release.Sadly, this will most likely be the case, including the busted difficulty curve and balancing. They could at least give the localization a fresh edit to make Vivian trans like in the original.
Story and character wise is worse though.Man I didn’t realize there had been so much backlash against TTYD. It’s fair to critique the backtracking, but it’s still a very good game. Great writing and mechanically an improvement on 64.

Some of the level design still bothers me (lookin' at you, last dungeon staircase "maze"), but that may fall under "pacing."Just my two cents, but I think the backlash against the pacing/backtracking in TTYD is so loud because that is literally the only thing you can legit complain about with this game. You rarely hear anyone complain about anything else with that game.
Personally I give it a 9.5/10. It is that great.
pretty sure it was remixed, and pretty damn good remix at thatI am beyond hyped. TTYD slaps! They better not touch the soundtrack. I cant believe were getting this and MarioRPG. Switch is GOAT confirmed.

Genuinely curious where in the game this is referring to. I'm a huge TTYD fan so I'm admittedly biased but I didn't realize the game had a reputation for this. I actually think PM64 is more "randomly" difficult in a lot of ways lol. Felt like they smoothed out the difficulty curve in TTYD, but that could just be my familiarity with the game at this point speaking. There are parts of Chapter 4 that are tough before recruiting Vivian but that feels intentional to me.Sadly, this will most likely be the case, including the busted difficulty curve and balancing.
The game is extremely easy 99% of the time and you have to go out of your way to make it difficult for yourself only for the Dayzees in Chapter 4 to kick your ass and then it's breezy again up until the final boss. It sometimes feels like they gave partners their own HP bar very late in development and didn't do that much to account for it.Genuinely curious where in the game this is referring to.

It having the worst battle theme in the series is a complaint I can think of.Just my two cents, but I think the backlash against the pacing/backtracking in TTYD is so loud because that is literally the only thing you can legit complain about with this game.

It's just the most obvious and blatant negative about the game but there's plenty to criticize about it otherwise, which people have done.

Also the fanservice.
