do people actually buy old games like that to play them instead of just using an emulator?

[@diabeticman2194]

@@raidev_ I think it depends on their technological savvy tbh. At least for me, before the remake was announced I was thinking about emulating it but I had no clue which Rom sites where safe to use, and how to get controls working for an emulator. I’ve since heard that Dolphin is relatively easy to use, but I’d still be wary due to my tech history

I think it works much better for the joke that Luigi's adventures are simply told to you, and you're left to wonder how exactly all of it is occurring. However, giving him his own game with an original adventure would certainly be cool.

Is it really worth it?

[@MarshmallowRadiation]

I think I prefer Luigi's adventures during TTYD to remain a "noodle incident" that is never explored fully, but I _would_ really like a Paper Luigi spinoff game with entirely new adventures, provided it's up to par with TTYD in terms of story, tone, and gameplay.

You didn't have to go into the menu to change partners in the GameCube version. You just press left on the D-Pad > select partner > press A.

[@Skillaway]

i got an ad for the ttyd remake while watching this ☠️

[@Stevintage]

one of the best parts of this remake is going to be seeing first time players play through it and I'm pumped from hearing your personal thoughts Felix!

[@DB-yb4zd]

I am going to point out one issue I have about the game that really you might only notice if you played the original, is that there seems to be a forced tonal shift between games. The Switch version has been streamlined to a large extent. The cutscenes are faster, dialogue a little more rushed, and not as much time is given to the more "quiet" or emotional moments in the game. The scene when Koop's joins the party is a good example of this and I highly recommend checking out lets plays of both versions of this scene back to back. While the switch version overlays a jazzy uplifting scene as Koops reminiscences about his motivation for wanting to join and defeat Hooktail (to avenge his father), the GameCube actually cut all music minus the ambient sounds out to make you really feel the moment. The game is so desperate to change the tone, that even when you sub in the old music for the game, they INTENTIONALLY add in the new tracks to many areas by force. While Paper Mario fans of the original games are usually holding up the idea that they had heart, and knew when to play to your emotions, this remake seems intent on removing the sentimentality that was ingrained in the best of the series. At least that's how I feel so far anyway, maybe some of the areas are shrunken a bit too as I felt the room with the 1000 year door was maybe a bit larger and more awe inspiring in the GameCube version rather than the remake... another thing to check out as the cutscene seemed to resize the room to its original proportions for the Switch...

[@Graphomite]

That was considerate of the devs to add dialog for Vivien (while keeping it natural) to directly mention her canonical gender. I think the minor detail elevates the character's motives. When the original released, I figured the reason for the bullying was jealousy. Vivien was cute, they weren't, resent ensue. It's fair to assume that's still a factor, but the knowledge that they singled Viv out when she was the only "boy," and bullied her even harder when she understood herself as a girl, adds a layer to the pettiness without explaining it, and makes Vivien's decision to leave her sisters behind all the more willful.

I do not normally feel the need to 100% a game either, but two games I’ve 100%’d were LM3 & origami king. I know a lot of ppl don’t like origami king, but I don’t play the paper Mario games for the battling, I play them for the adventure In between the battles. And I feel origami king had an amazing adventure (minus the battles). I can’t wait to try this game

[@amirgarcia547]

I was always going to buy this game due to being a remake of one of the best RPGs ever made, but the fact that they actually made Vivian trans in the localization instead of just outright removing it like in the original makes this easily GOTY for me. No exaggeration.

[@MP-sy4zc]

You seem easily pleased

[@mercifulpancake5669]

Kind of weird that's your basis for how you rate a video game. Why not enjoy it for the mechanics, story, music etc?

[@mychannelisdiedbyyoutube9632]

@@mercifulpancake5669 you need to understand the surrounding context that for twenty years people did not know vivian was written as a trans woman unless they lived in japan or specifically went digging, and this reasonably had a lot of people very upset as yet another brick in a large wall of erasure spanning decades if not centuries of human history the person you are replying to said it would have been a good game that they would have bought either way as it is a genuinely good game, and that their opinion did not 100% hinge on vivian being trans. however, as her story has been restored to what it was always supposed to be, it makes a good game significantly better

[@mychannelisdiedbyyoutube9632]

@@Martynollins6789 show me your source. who is calling her otokonoko and why? is it in a positive light? does she use this to refer to herself? why is beldam so insistent that the three of them are referred to as the "Kage Sanningumi" or "Shadow Trio" as opposed to "Kage Sanshimai" or "Three Shadow Sisters" depsite vivian's claims to the contrary? your opinion is driven by a blind denial fed by covert hate and masquerading as fact. it is truly that simple.

Really appreciate the review and the attention to the new localization changes, but PLEASE put a spoiler warning for those. I know it's an old game and all but not everyone had access to it and wanted to start this fresh.

[@shimokita811]

I'm curious about this one but I still can't get over what happened to poor Bobby in the Origami King😢 Even though it's a game, I was devastated and traumatized.

[@NotsoEthos]

It makes me so happy to see this game get re-released. I can't even say what the game means to me. I genuinely hope anybody playing this game for the first time will enjoy it as well. 10/10 review, thank you

[@CophinRuinz0rKestra]

"A re-freshed, re-vamped localization" so did Nintendo of America revert the changes that they made to the original game for this release? I'm very curious. The original North American gamecube release had a lot dialogue and some story elements changed and even some content removed.

[@disky1784]

They redid the English to make it more faithful to the original

[@Daigon95]

I want to know if they restored the red wine item for Bobbery that was changed to Cola in the US release.

[@shaggysweetness]

@@disky1784 It's less faithful to the original japanese script. The bombs hit on her in the original japanese script and Vivian was a feminine male.

[@disky1784]

@@shaggysweetness they might have done the first for the esrb and the second is pretty untrue if you have context/read the original

[@King_Luigi]

@@Daigon95 Look like it's the same. (Both visually and the name, at least in English.) Though as a side-bonus, the "cola" name they gave it back then shares a name with a similar drink from the 1st Mario & Luigi game. (Which released less than a year before TTYD did.)

[@tristanstone935]

Remaster receives nothing but praise, gets a 9/10 for not having new content. That somehow doesn't seem fair... "The Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't have 18" rims, even though it doesn't have wheels, so we're knocking it down to a 9."
