      How would you judge this for someone who liked the GameCube version but didn’t think it was anything special (7/10 or so)? The backtracking (which really drained me) seems to have been improved, but I can’t shake the idea that the original fell short in other areas for me. It sounds like the remake would be about an 8/10 for me.

      You'd think this would be such an easy dub for Nintendo. But Mario always has to be the focal point :/ I've dreamt about playing through Luigi's adventure for so long. More likely to happen as a mod, but if Nintendo did it, I'd probably cry haha

    Enjoyed your review. I’ve picked it up for my kids.
    About the performance issue: Digital foundry, in their analysis, commented that a 60fps may not have been entirely feasible using the Switch hardware with all the visual enhancements.
    They compared it to Mario RPG which was fully unlocked at 60fps but struggled in some areas dropping to 30fps and argued that a locked 30fps might have made more sense in these areas. Paper Mario is demanding a lot more from the hardware than Mario RPG.
    In other words, yes it was a choice, but they had reasons for that choice and it’s not indefensible as some are commenting. I normally prefer performance but for this kind of remake, I’ll take the visual enhancements over performance.
    Edit: I’d also add that the switch 2 was intended to release in 2024 according to reports so this game would likely have been a launch title. Possibly another reason why it’s locked to 30fps on the switch. But this is pure speculation on my part.

    • @lacasadebarbudo6949
      @lacasadebarbudo6949 Před měsícem +2

      actually lock fps to 30 makes the battery life better, on a shooter like Metroid Prime Remastered is normal that targets 60 fps cause is a shooter game, but an RPG you don't need 60 fps, you need a lot of battery life

    Yeah, this remake of paper mario TTYD has been wonderful, a lot of the visuals look a lot more like paper craft than the original did, I have played the original within the last year and I literally don't notice a difference with the 30 FPS drop outside of menus being a tad sluggish, but i don't think that's a problem with the fps and more of the engine not allowing you to pre-emptively pick before the animation is completely done for menu.

    I played the original and bought this version again. I beat it a couple nights ago… and it's so much better this time around. This may be my favorite Mario RPG now, full stop. Don't regret repurchasing it myself… but I don't blame someone for not being able to justify repurchasing this when they owned the original.
    Btw, really appreciate you repeatedly making the distinction that this isn't a remaster or a port. I don't see anybody calling this a port, but I do hear a lot of people erroneously referring to it as a "remaster." It took just as much effort for Intelligent Systems to remake this game as it did for them to make an original Paper Mario game like Origami King and Color Splash. It was actually made with the Origami King engine.

Itll be a 10/10 if they fix the framerate, and the section in act 2 where u escort punies as ive done it 5 times now and it is busted. They will glitch out and despawn.

    Totally a day one buy and I am having a blast as someone who has played the game prior! However, if I have to give one piece of criticism, I feel like the nostalgic tunes badge is...kind of a lie. I'm playing my first run with this on and the one thing that gets under my skin is that not all of the original tracks are present and sometimes, especially in the climactic scenes of chapter 2 and 5, the new tracks, to me, are just worse by comparison with no way to turn them off. So far my least favorite track in the game (is it a track? I still hate it though) is the red scull theme Flavio sings in chapter 5. That shit is GRATING! And you have to pause and listen to it in order to read the right number of hits for the tiki heads. This will probably be the number one thing I absolutely dread if I play chapter 5 again and there is no way too fast forward with B or skip it in anyway way so that my eardrums won't bleed.

    Kudos on the review guys! I know this is personal, but the halving of the frame rate came to allow them to push the fidelity, there are effects in play that aren’t generally available on most switch version of games such as the Screen Space Reflections. Well anyway, in game like this that does not require fast camera movement id rather have the extra fidelity. I just don’t agree with this taking points away from your score. But I can understand the perspective. Agree to disagree.

    @vanishing_girl Před měsícem +1

    I beat the first chapter yesterday, so far I pretty much like everything but my biggest complaints are the backtracking and how you can't speed up the character's dialogue like in other JRPGs (i.e. skip to the next line as soon as I finish reading). There are soo many cutscenes and they take so long because of how slow the text boxes unfurl or whatever.
    I still am enjoying the game tho and I'm hoping that the cutscenes will slow down now that I'm (hopefully) out of the tutorial parts. I only own a Nintendo Switch so I hadn't even noticed the framerate, I'm just so used to 30fps at this point lol.

    Got my copy for $41.99 as Playasia was selling Japanese games for cheap lately so while that might not hold the deals they do are cool. I just happen to see Switch games staying cheap so I got it new for the lower price. Low end shipping in USD is around $7.90 so GameStop often charges us around that anyway so this was a steal. Even if the shipping is taking a few extra days. I love this game to death. Those deals might not last so grab what you can. The Switch is region free and most games support English even if it's a Japanese copy always double check to be sure they are good at listing the translations.

    The Animal Crossing-style voice samples whenever characters are talking was such an unfortunate inclusion. It’s so distracting to read the various Toad’s dialogue all being accompanied by the same squawk as the Toads in the mainline games, especially when you consider the deadpan delivery many of these lines need in order to produce the intended comic effect. The Paper Mario series exists in another universe than the mainline series-these aren’t the same characters. The Paper Mario characters have always been mute, allowing the player to imagine their voices. Paper Luigi’s dialogue isn’t written with an Italian accent, for instance.
    I wish Nintendo would include an option to switch the voices back to the original typing sound effect.
