Paper Mario TTYD Remake Graphics Comparison (Switch vs. GCN)

[@wileecoyotegenius5955]

The biggest glowup here is the addition of more character animations. At 1:47, the original game keeps the characters in their default pose/expression with a ! bubble, while the new game actually has a unique pose and expression for both Mario and his partner. The lack of different expressions in dialogue is one of the few parts of base TTYD's visuals that I feel aged poorly, so it's fantastic to see them improving it.

[@markkoetsier6475]

Good call! And the slightly nightmare fuel low-poly pigs are actually papery now. 😆 Also, obviously, big crowds no longer need to be rendered using low-res assets running at half the normal animation rate! Though... I did find that oddly charming. Heck, even the pigs were kinda hilarious _because_ of how crappy they were, which could very well have been intentional.

[@Wobbuffet64]

You're 100% right, another good example is a few seconds later at 1:51, basically all the train passengers have new expressions - it really helps make the scene feel more lively! Looking forward to seeing all the new animations!

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

And mario's entire party (or at least up to that point) were riding the blimp together. Honestly I hope we get more opportunities to see the group together

[@4ncientGu150]

Good callout

[@aaronpasache1847]

I know it's another aestetic but, they added the partner's and NPC's back views, one of my personal gripes of the original game, because it felt weird to see Mario's back view but not his partners

[@TheomanZero]

I am so incredibly relieved they didn't replace all of the unique Toads with generic ones.

[@TheomanZero]

That didn't stop them with the Mario & Luigi remakes for 3DS.@dylanmacbridethe2nd505

[@chippotato5647]

They actually added in MORE unique Toads, it seems like. Check the scene where Mario stomps on that switch in Glitzville, there's a purple Toad with a unique design that I'm pretty sure wasn't there before.

This game looks absolutely fantastic. They mostly kept the old art style but also did add some of the modern paper Mario style and the lighting is also very good.

I think the key takeaway here is that the designs are exactly how they should be. From the pirate bob-ombs to the roughed up toads to the mafia piantas. It's all untouched design wise unlike what happened with the superstar saga remake. Also side note but seeing all party members in the blimp made me grin ear to ear.

Dude, I love how there's the _slightest_ hint of a white outline around the black of the sprites, and actually line-weighted! It's like it's there to suggest a bit of backlight bleeding around the edges of the paper, adding a little sense of depth to the cutouts along with the new lighting. Looks so much better than the obnoxiously thick double-outlined sticker look of the past few games! Like, I got where they were going for with Sticker Star (it's in the name), but Color Splash and Origami King just didn't need that. This is a very happy medium. 👌

(With Koops having the standard koopa troopa sound effect and luigi having his voice)

[@zkoopa4445]

I'm shocked that they didn't "update" the enemies to look like they did in the modern New Super Mario style and instead actually held on to the appearance they had in the older Paper Mario games unlike when Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga came out on 3DS a couple years ago and all the original, cooky, and unique looking characters were replaced with traditional Toads / Koopa Troops, I'm happy kept the distinctive Paper Mario style was kept.

It's hard not to cry, since I've been waiting for this EXACT remake of Paper Mario TTYD (how it looks and stuff) to finally play TTYD (since I was 11-12 years old!).

[@FNAFman1983]

Bro same

[@Lyccount]

Quick list of notable comparison points: - Snappier transitions, as seen in the Peach tile flips at the end. - Vibrancy changes to some environments (example, grass looks significantly less extreme Green green and more soft green) as well as minor prop/detail changes to accompany this (like less flowers and grass tufts in the green fields). - New sprites included for partners and other notable characters such as Bowser! Also minor shading and lighting differences on these and other sprites to give more dimension (see Hooktail's excellent lighting). - New NPCs or otherwise gussied-up NPCs to match the unique aesthetics! (See Glitz Pit purple toad) - Battle transition in music got a dynamic speed shift. - Commitment to the paper pop-up book stylization (examples, railing thickness differences on Mario's house, trees getting the crossover-paper pop technique, and the title screen popout fold). All in all, it looks wonderful and so much fun! Even side by side they both look so beautiful.

The way the ground curls up at the edges, the blades of grass being 2d, The tree having a panorama sort of feel to it instead of flat.

Let this game's sales give Nintendo a wake up call on what fans want for Paper Mario!

[@matthewjones6786]

Aw man, it's just about everything I could ask out of a remaster, aesthetically speaking. Origami King is actually my favorite PM, and I love seeing its _gorgeous_ papercraft detail here without sacrificing TTYD's artstyle and designs!

[@a.3160]

OK is an embarrassment

[@matthewjones6786]

@@a.3160 Really the only thing that sours me on TTYD is this part of the fanbase. They love to go out of their way to tell people how wrong they are for enjoying anything that isn't TTYD again.

[@Clepto_and_Co]

One thing I'm actually going to miss is the backgrounds of all things. Don't get me wrong, the new art style is absolutely gorgeous, but the comic book feels the original style has kinda got lost in translation. I'm still super hyped about this

[@thetalltitan2235]

The original Thousand-Year Door still holds up as a timeless classic (and one of my favorite games of all time). Looking at it (the OG) though, the graphical limitations really show. But with the enhanced remake in mind, more expressions and modeling of the characters (besides Mario and Peach in the OG) are truly gonna blow it out of the water!

[@Rhubarb120]

The one issue I have with this is the obsession modern game devs have with making the text tiny. Just compare the text between two screens. The text on then Gamecube version is large enough to read from across the room, while the switch has very small letters. I have very bad eyesight, so small text is a huge deal breaker for me. I really hope this is just an issue with the formatting of KZbin videos, but seeing how this has been a problem for many recent games, I doubt it.

[@SailorDonut]

I have noticed that devs seem to think something being higher resolution means they can make the text smaller. Uh, no? We need it BIGGER! My eyes can't handle this!

[@Enaronia]

I think part of it is that the average TV is larger now.

[@themindfulmoron3790]

​@@Enaronia Larger, higher res, and with better color range. The text was only so large in the original out of necessity. It's also why particle effects in remakes are often toned down, they were bigger so you could actually see them clearly on older displays.

[@Meatytheburrito]

1:26 Did they not use the word Airhead again because they're afraid of the candy suing them? Weird change

[@MusuemBucket]

I think it’s because it’s a harsh word? Idk

[@1Shayz1]

I'm loving the updated soundtrack

[@borisbeloudus2691]

I will not disagree that Origami King and Yoshis Crafted World really puts the pop up book feel I get from Mario Party 6 and this remake. They really need to nail down that kind of art style with this TTYD remake the original didn’t have because of older hardware.

[@borisbeloudus2691]

And maybe Paper Mario sequels in the future.

[@scarf96]

Wow there are major graphic improvements! I am impressed to see how the two compare. When this version comes to Switch, it will be my first time playing this all the way through, so I’m excited. I’ve heard great things about this game and everything. I’m excited to begin this experience in an even better enhanced way!

[@np4231]

They struck a really nice balance between the old artstyle and new artstyle with this remake.

[@4ncientGu150]

Honestly, thanks. I was pretty on the fence about some of the visual changes. But other than them making the square for Rogueport way to bright, these changes are good.

[@RobbiesHobbies512]

My very first Paper Mario game was Sticker Star, It’s currently my favorite Paper Mario Game. But this looks awesome I’m definitely buying it. People do say that Thousand Year Door is the best Paper Mario game so I’ll give the remake a Shot.

[@james_nolan]

I think it's awesome that they're doing this, I hope this makes the original come down in price (it probably won't though) I actually prefer the original because of framerate and sound effects (I prefer the classic Paper Mario dialogue sounds over TOK's). However if there's a 60fps patch and an original audio mod, that'd be amazing.

[@DerAlexus]

Wait a minute... In the remake mario has a painting with all his Partners from paper mario 1 in the house which does't exist in the original. Maybe that could be a hint that nintendo is also remaking the first game in the near future. (I know it's just a little detail in the trailer, but it can't be there without a reason right?) This thing is the ONLY new thing (aside from the griphical improvement of course and two little changes: a new sign at a door, new camera angle for the airship animation and the missing letter from peach in the intro. In fact the text is there, but the pinky letter itself isn't there)

[@theanimeditor6400]

it somehow adds tons more lighting, depth, emotion, animation, and character. this has to be the best way this could have turned out.

[@CountMonsparkle]

Ooff, I just noticed a small problem: At 1:04, you can see that it takes twice as long for the battle to start in the new version. Despite the new version looking better, this will definitively add up and significantly slow down the pace. I will still buy the game regardless, but it is something that should be noted.

[@ego-lay_atman-bay]

I really hope there's an option to make the font size bigger

[@kingjonny394]

As someone who never played the original I thought it was basically a hd version, now I see they actually remade it from the ground up. Wow can't wait

[@TheCoordinate]

I know the first game is on NSO, and that this one is objectively the better of the two, but i really hope they remake the first one at some point. They even used a clip of it’s title theme for this which felt like such an odd choice. I love ttyd but paper mario 1 is my comfort game and favorite mario game in general.

[@BlaizeTheDragon]

Them doing that really threw me off. I saw the book and heard the music and immediately jumped to thousand year door. Then they played music from the first game and was like "wait... the first game? But I thought-" then it mentioned rogueport X3

[@Tuna_Jim]

yea the 64 theme threw me off bc I thought they were about to do a collection of the first few games. Either way Im still so hype for this game

[@pandora5573]

was it just me or did GCN look a lot smoother ?

[@silverflight01]

Framerate difference, probably because the Switch mostly runs games at 30

[@Isaac0110]

The graphics look so good. Nostalgia makes me unsure which I prefer, but both look really solid

[@gam3army]

love how it looks. some bits thought feel like there not as.. pronounced as game cubes was but a lot i can see has been increased with just artwork and such so looks like a good remake of the old TTYD. going to be doing a lot of mario RPGing lately as finally getting around to working on origami king and then mario RPG comeing out and now this... hell might as well just replay paper mario as well to round it all out!

[@dynablade61]

Weird, looks like they knocked the framerate down to 30FPS instead of keeping it at TTYD's original FPS (60). To be fair, Oregano King has a hard time running on Switch hardware at 60, so if this is a recreation of TTYD using the OK engine, it makes sense that they could not bump the FPS any higher than 30, but still disappointing. Graphics look nice though.

[@GreyWithCreamium]

First time playing through this and damn the glowup on this one is insane. Nintendo is doing such a great job with these remakes/masters.

TTYD designs with TOK color and shading looks so good, plus partner back sprites and reactions. I could not be happier with how it looks. Wonder if they added some new content. Bosses, sidequests, maybe a new partner? I can't wait.

[@Leonelfreak]

did you notice in the trailer the amount of reflections the game itself had. with all the leaks that the switch 2 next year and it having rtx 3080 graphics. wouldnt be surprised if it came out with the switch 2 with some sort of rtx stuff in it. even origami kingdom doesnt have that amount of reflections. and imma just say it out there. the buttons of A/B and the L/R look kinda different. almost as if theyre different buttons of a different console

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

If these areas are the same size as the original they could have more free resources to use than origami king

[@mino2123]

yeah I was suspecting something like that too, there are so many lighting effects and reflections that I was doubting this was even on the switch. then again it's 30fps so maybe

[@Leonelfreak]

nah konami confirmed its 60 even tho the trailer is 30@@mino2123

[@plasmafreeze3018]

Wow the remake actually adds some unique characters and has some more expression now. Its like Nintendo finally took what the FANS cared about and expressed it. Nintendo may just redeem themselves and stand tall in the end. I can safely say im in love with what they're showing knowing full well they're capable of being better than ever.

Surprised I haven't seen anybody mention that it looks like the remake is in 30fps, as opposed to the original's 60. I'm gonna play the remake and enjoy the hell out of it but I will be a bit disappointed if it ships at 30.

[@NintenJoeGamer]

Seems that the remake runs at only 30 fps whereas the original is 60. Honestly I'd sacrifice some graphical quality if it meant they could push 60.
