When I first saw the book I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, it wasn’t until the chime started that I realized what I was looking at. Anyone else excited?! I’m looking forward to this one. It’s been too long…

On the one hand, I’m as tired of ports and remakes as anyone else. On the other, TTYD is a perfect RPG and the exact opposite of what they’ve done to Paper Mario for two generations, so it not only gets a pass but a big fat golden power star.
So, perhaps for nostalgia purposes, I hold Super Mario RPG (SNES) and Paper Mario (N64) close to my heart. Is Paper Mario: TTYD that much better? Everyone seems to always bring up TTYD, but I thought the first Paper Mario was a masterpiece. Trying to determine if I should buy the Switch remake close to day one (no preorders!).
Edit: I played maybe a few hours of it back in the day but never finished it for some reason.
TTYD is fantastic and I think its better then the first one.
That’s pretty high praise, paper mario 1 had such great moments and I loved the characters. Yep, I’m buying this remaster. I’ll debate if I want to get it day 1, since Nintendo’s taking a lot of money this year with Detective Pikachu and Super Mario RPG.
TTYD is a masterpiece.
The story, I thought, was more compelling than PM. The movement abilities were wonderful. And the graphics upgrade of the GCN is surprisingly a very welcome addition.
Just like PM, it’s a bit of a slow start plot wise.
Bro I grew up on RPGs - slow starts are my jam. While I appreciate faster pacing of games today, I won’t have any problems waiting to get hooked by a beloved game. Good to hear this about TTYD.
Maybe I’m bias cuz I use emulation and have a decent retro game collection but does this feel like a cash grab to anyone else?
There couldn’t have been that much about the game that needed to be updated but rather than release it online as a port for 20 dollars they’re make it a remaster and sell for full price.
I just finished playing it a few days ago on dolphin but I’d gladly replay it again if it came out today! I had tears in my eyes I was so excited!
how did you get it to run? i think i tried to play it around the start of this year, but it kept crashing at the start. did dolphin fix the issue or did you have to to something special to get it to run?
I think it has to do with the rom? I’ve been using the same rom for nearly 5 years so I can’t say. I just load it and it works
