UK Charts: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Storms To The Top

Still the best Paper Mario of all! If only they'd get the series back on track and make a worthy sequel. An actual Turn based RPG with multiple party members. Not all these weird alterations of style every new game.

That seems like a great result considering digital sales have increased in the 4 years since Origami King was released and this was a remake of a 20 year old title.

A great game. Please stay on top of the charts.

These bubbles and especially the squeaky sound of each word prevented me from buying the game. It is 2024. They made a remake and failed. At least an option to disable bubble sound would have been nice, but in 2024 I would have expected better.

I think this has a chance of being the highest sold paper mario game ever . I really hope we get a proper sequel on the switch 2

I'm hoping TTYD has longer legs than TOK though. I really want them to make that proper return to form.

Fantastic to hear!! Here's hoping more people will buy this. It's a must have for EVERY Switch owner and we NEED to get Paper Mario to its original roots.

We do NOT want to have another entry into the false trilogy (2012 - 2020), now do we?

@Geit_de Do you have a fear of bubbles?

@Papery0shi Very true. We're long overdue for a true fourth game in the franchise (Or third, for some people)!

YES LETS GO!!! Glad people will finally have an opportunity to play this game! It is so good on Switch!

Also a bigger launch than the SMRPG remake? That’s pretty impressive since that came out during the holiday/pokemon slot. Great to see TTYD doing well!

So we have positive UK news. I'm looking for US news now. My niece and I bought copies for ourselves and even my nephew who doesn't have a switch is going to get his own copy as soon as he can find one. They're sold out at my local targets. We had to preorder them at GameStop. So I'm blindly hoping for sales to exceed totals for the past 3 entries combined! Digital included.

To see any remake perform as good as a new game is positive news indeed! Hopefully this will inspire Nintendo to bring the best elements of TOK and TTYD into the next new entry! It's been too long since I've been this excited for the future of this series.

Gamers for like over a decade Bring back our beloved Thousand Year Door, pinnacle of the franchise, Mona Lisa of Mario RPGs, jewel of jewels, cruelly locked away on consoles past! Let a new generation experience its glory, its enthralling story, its wild and daring wit! By all that it good and holy Nintendo, resuscitate this gem and restore the franchise to its former splendour!

Gamers now SQUEAKY BUBBLES!!! 30FPS!!!! AAAHHH!!!

_{Yes they’re different gamers and yes I’m being facetious, but by God, we do like to get vocally, self-righteously aggrieved over utter trivialities don’t we?}

Why don’t they show the sales figures? Seems a bit odd to not show how many units a game has shifted.

@SuperShaun they never have with the US and UK charts as far as I know…

It goes to show you this game is timeless and I’m so happy that others who have never played this before will get the chance to enjoy it. I really hope Nintendo put this out as a way to gauge if this is the formula that will work for paper Mario, because it really does.

I'd be interesting to see how succesful it will be, and how that could potentially influence future Paper Mario entries.

@SuperShaun the figures are generally not available. The American charts are a monthly update, but again it’s positions and dollar sales rather than raw numbers. The Japanese charts are very weak and include hard numbers, I always look forward to Thursday’s updates from @NintendoLife
