Topic: Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door!!!!!!!

@Novamii SO EXCITED! I’m so happy that people are going to be able to play this game for the first time!

As someone who’s already played the original, I couldn’t be more excited to return to Rogueport!

I’ll probably be a bit less active here, I’ll be busy playing the game!

Wholeheartedly agree. A game I’d reference that’s been remade the same way as TTYD is definitely Persona 3 Reload, which got a new voice cast, redesigned characters and music, etc. Resident Evil 2-3-4 are remakes too but in the literal sense of the word, while TTYD and P3R have the same game buried underneath but with a few licks of paint to refresh it and make it better to play today.

Digital version is now playable.

I’m getting a physical preorder so I won’t see mine for about a week.

Damn, that sucks...>.<

...Okay was this in the original? I'm pretty sure it wasn't...lol

Soo good. Started playing at 3am. Lots I don't remember. It was 20 years ago. Some I do. The whole 'only 30fps'? Sorry, I guess I do not have that fine an eye. I see no issues with it. I can't tell the difference. I am at Hooktail Castle now. Lots of moments make me laugh and smile. Even the stupid things like the Professor attaching a picture of himself at the bottom of the first e-mail he sends you. I don't know why that made me laugh. I like the additional voice work. 99 percent sure it is Kevin? I think he is doing a good job on this one. Anyway. Top purchase!

It seems good so far, my only contention is the soundtrack feels a bit too "noisy" at all times. I tried the badge that switches to the original GC soundtrack and it's slightly better, but even that feels a bit too much. This is more pronounced in handheld mode on the smaller speakers, which is a bit of a bummer as that's how I prefer to play.

Got Luigi's Mansion 2 stickers with my purchase, for some reason.

@Uncle_Franklin Guess someone at Nintendo slipped up

I’ve been playing this game and it’s great! It looks so stunning!

It is really cute and pretty yeah, and the humor is fantastic. And the music outside Rogueport is a lot more to my liking luckily, though I definitely prefer using the original soundtrack

I've had some interesting developments in the last 24 hours. Remember those Walmart cancellation emails? Well, I received an email yesterday afternoon that my preorder shipped! Idk what the email communication was about last week then. /Shrug I'll still take the $25 coupon though. It should be in my hands later today.

What's funny is my Best Buy preorder is also now coming. It'll be in tomorrow. Ironically I don't think I'll be able to play until tomorrow anyway.

@Tyranexx wait... they said it was cancelled but still charged you so now you are getting two copies but also had to pay twice?? That doesn't seem great.

@FishyS I made the BB preorder after that cancellation email last week. So yeah...two copies winging their way to me now. If both show, one is getting returned. Probably the Walmart one since they allow in-store returns, and the closest BB is about 90 minutes away. I don't deal with online returns unless I absolutely have to.

tried out the demo for the past bit and I gotta say: I don't think I see the appeal tbh

Beware potential spoiler (maybe?) below in second paragraph, but it's more a gameplay gripe ...

Been playing through the Gamecube version across the past few weeks, and am five crystal stars in. I haven't played through it before and I figured I wanted to beat this version first (that I paid $170AU for last year just ahead of Nintendo's announcement of a remake).

Anyway, the part after claiming the fifth crystal star where you must mix the potion as Princes Peach is a definite lowpoint of the game. It's ridiculous, tedious and annoying. Even using a stopwatch to time the '30 seconds' needed to heat the potion, I still fail. Time has told this game as a perfect entry but from my point of view, it's not. The second chapter with the Punis is also a drag.

Overall I am enjoying it though, but I'll finish the GC version I forked out for before I graduate to the shiny new one.

Edit: came back today and mixed the potion correctly first go. Amazing what happens when you give a game a little rest after quitting in frustration. The thing I was doing wrong seems so obvious today with a clearer head. But I still maintain this part of the game has sucked. Onwards and upwards.

Playing TTYD just makes me so happy. But I absolutely suck at flying the paper airplane. I mean, I'm abysmal at it. Poor Mario crashes and burns more often than not.

So, um, where is that badge that gives you the original ost? Was hoping to go back and forth between the new ost and old. >.<

@Joeynator3000 I bought it at the badge shop in Rogueport, I got there from the inn that Toadsworth was staying at.
