Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch. During today’s Nintendo Direct, it was announced that the acclaimed RPG from Intelligent Systems will be released in a remastered version, enabling the youngsters to enjoy its unique charm.
The Thousand-Year Door’s entertaining writing, solid RPG mechanics, and lack of availability beyond of the Gamecube contributed to years of fan desire for a re-release. The very first GameCube game appeared in 2004, and in addition to being an outstanding turn-based RPG, it is also one of the best-written and funniest titles in the entire series. The original game remains amazing due to its classic layout, but the sequel has some new visually appealing styles and it really stands out in HD.
In the game, Mario and his friends travel the territory behind the Thousand-Year Door in search of hidden treasure. Mario will be able fold himself into a paper plane to span wide gaps and spin his 2D form to fit through tiny openings. Expect “enhanced graphics” in the approaching re-release; the first Nintendo-shared trailer surely gives it an appealing appearance. Other information, such as if there will be any more major modifications forthcoming, is being withheld by the company for the time being.
