Paper Mario has been experimenting with a more casual JRPG approach, but fans really just want to see it return to Thousand-Year Door's approach.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Welcome to A Late Look, a series of article where I take a belated look at games from yesteryear that I missed out on the first time around. Not quite review and not quite rant, it’s more a casual assessment of what I – the gamer of the future – consider to be each game’s strengths and weaknesses in retrospect.
Just last month Nintendo released a remake of the cult-classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, so what better time could there possibly be to take a look not at that game, and not at its original, but at the Nintendo 64 game from 2000? None is what I say! This very first release in the Paper Mario series will also be my first entry point. So, let’s get to it."
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch sets a benchmark for how to make a very faithful remake while playing up the game’s strengths
Hardcore Gamer Writes "Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a near-legendary RPG these days, but does it still hold up after all this time?"
Because other than Super Paper Mario, which was a completely unique offshoot, the series has sucked.
They were simply better games (the first two).
None of them suck, but sure the old ones are better imo.
I still wished for a Super Mario RPG 2.
Would've been awesome! I wouldn't mind a Super Mario Galaxy 3 as well!
Yes please!
