This came too late to pump up the demand for Geno to be brought into Smash, but I’m excited none the less.
Every part of the original game was top notch. Awesome characters that fit into an expansive world with lots of side quests and engaging combat. It game had awesome music too. And this looks like a real remake not just a port.
I guessed correctly that Diddy Kong and Pauline would make it in, but I didn’t expect another Kong at the same time, AND Peachette as well. Anyways, nice for this game to FINALLY get its last bits of new content. Here’s to the next mario kart game.
This game means so much to me, I’m literally playing through with a friend right now (just got to Twilight Town last week!). I’m so absolutely excited for this game once again, and I’m glad Nintendo decided to make this step. I mean, not even Paper Mario 64 first? Bonkers. I’m thinking I’ll do a BP-only Bonetail run as soon as I get my hands on it.
The only person I can think of more excited than me is Arlo, which is a given.
I mean a widescreen, HD remaster. It being on NSO’s emulators doesn’t necessarily mean it isn’t up for being remastered, as Link’s Awakening is on GB but was also remastered.
Nintendo likely thought that fans would more appreciate a TTYD remaster than Paper Mario 64, and I know I sure do. (Not that I dislike PM64.)
Holy crap! After hearing how anal Nintendo got about their character designs cause of branding after Super Paper Mario, I was positive they’d never remake this. I’m super excited!!
Basically the upper management was getting mad that Paper Mario was taking on too much of its own identity compared to the broader Mario brand. It’s why Origami King is mostly just Toads all over the place.
When the newest Paper Mario game came out, the developers said in some interviews that the reason the games style completely changed in Sticker Star and beyond is that Nintendo got super protective over how their characters are depicted. They weren’t allowed to make their own variations of established Mario-world inhabitants (like a professor Goomba or a pirate Bomb-omb or a purple Kamek named Kammy), they either had to use the characters as they were (such as just “Toad”, or just “Kamek”) or use their own completely original designs. It’s also why none of the recurring characters from past games showed up since Super Paper Mario.
SPM had THE BEST story out of any Mario game ever because of the characters, from my perspective it were the changes to combat and world design that people hated, even though I think it works for the game itself.
There really got me with this one… I was soooo excited for some F-Zero news… the music… the pixel look… then a shift to HD graphics and the a announcement of a new game… oh wait this was in my head!
Instead we got a battle royale.
Don’t get me wrong, I still take it and play it… but this was really brutal. :(
I mean, the whole backstory to F-Zero X sounds an awful lot like this game; no rules, death race, massive field. It feels like this game fills a gap between X and the original
I quite literally just started the SNES original, for the first time, 3 days ago… Guess I’ll stop and wait for the Switch release. The 2D graphics are surprisingly charming, but I bet the new version will have some QoL improvements.
