Nintendo has released a new overview trailer for Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door on Nintendo Switch
The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach, and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat, and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed-er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings.
Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests, or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters!
Twenty years after the original game on the Nintendo GameCube system, this version for the Nintendo Switch™ system has revamped graphics, and a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.
In addition, new details have been provided bout improvements planned for the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Switch remake. These include things like the Nostalgic Tunes badge that lets players experience the music from the GameCube original and a new partner ring that allows players to easily change party members with a button click, unlike the GameCube original, where it was required to access a menu to change partners.
There are also other changes as well, such as worth mentioning a gameplay hint system from Goombella that you can access at any time plus new entries in the Sound and Art Galleries that you can unlock by collecting Shine Sprites and Star Pieces.In addition, IGN has revealed that players will encounter new NPCs that can help them out, such character is Rogueport’s Battle Master, “a Toad who will not only tell you battle secrets in hopes you will become a legendary fighter, but who will also let you jump into a danger-free battle to practice all your abilities and timing-based attacks.” As well as that, Ian Foomus can be found at the Trouble Center in Rogueport, and the mouse will “get you back on track if you are having a tough time with any of Paper Mario’s sidequests”.
