Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door reviewed by Logan Plant on Nintendo Switch.

Paper Mario has finally returned to its RPG roots with an amazingly loyal and visually dazzling remake of The Thousand-Year Door. Everything fans have been begging Nintendo to bring back is here, including a delightfully varied turn-based battle system with satisfying real-time elements and unique, lovable party members who are essential to both the story and gameplay. Rogueport and its surrounding areas are bursting with personality thanks to writing that’s just as sharp and funny today as it was in 2004. It also introduces a host of modern improvements that streamline – but don’t eliminate – the original’s backtracking issues, easily making this the best way to experience Mario’s quest to gather the Crystal Stars. There’s a reason The Thousand-Year Door has been considered one of the greatest Nintendo games for the last 20 years, and this brilliant remake ensures it will maintain that reputation for at least a thousand more.

    Buy this game so we can send Nintendo a message that the next paper Mario needs to be like this
  • @richmarrero1313
    Like if you want a "Paper Luigi and the search for the Golden Compass" game
  • @Ccagesniper
    Rogue Ports trouble center is one of those things that should be completed even if it doesn't seem important. NOBODY SHOULD SLEEP ON THE SIDE-QUESTS IN THIS GAME!

    You made one big mistake. THere were warp pipes in the origional game down in the Rogeport sewers. They were just seperated into a couple different rooms blocked off by large blocks that would need various hammer upgrades to destroy them.

    It's a 10/10 just because it's a HD Remake of the Greatest Paper Mario game of All Time! 😊❤

    BUY Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Let Nintendo know this is what we want from the series.
  • @y2jjerichoy2js
    This game needs to sell like Hot - Cakes so we can finally get a true RPG Paper Mario sequel like we’ve always wanted for years .

  • @andytekampe8748
    So, does it have any additional stuff in it like RPG or is just the same game with amazing graphics and tweaks to make it flow better?
