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…

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 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.
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.
For the most part, I see the two original Paper Marios as equals. They both have good and bad chapters, so it's hard to say which one I prefer on that front. The aspect that pushes TTYD slightly ahead for me is that your stats aren't capped at 50/50/30 anymore. You can play the game with 10HP and a goombillion badge points if you want and the game won't stop you!
Oh really? That's pretty interesting and a welcome surprise! I think I remember there was audience reaction in the game, which I don't think was present in PM1 (it's been +10 years since I played these games). I'm wondering if I probably should play them together and see how it compares.
@CatZoomies @PixelPioneer same
I haven't played TTYD but I heard it's fantastic, so I'm buying as soon as I can
