Metroid Dread last year, Prime Remaster and all the Pikmin love this year, and now TTYD remaster. It's insane how much Nintendo decided to please Arlo specifically.
Well this certainly aged well - seriously, congratulations, Arlo. 4 years later, and the effort paid off. A full remaster for the Switch 👏🎉 we all can't thank you enough
@@anotheramber7074 Well to my mind, then, it isn't so much that Arlo was wrong, he didn't predict a remaster. Rather, this has aged well since Arlo was instrumental in ginning up a groundswell of support for a game so much of the community wanted, four years ago, and that groundswell is precisely why we're getting this FULL-ON remake!! So yes absolutely stellar that it's more than just a remaster, or port; but, let's definitely celebrate Arlo's part and this whole community's efforts in taking the social-media storm right to Nintendo's doorstep, together :)
@@meatbleed Well if it's not the principle reason, then a groundswell of support for fans over multiple years certainly didn't hurt in helping get the game made! Obviously we can likely never know exactly the motivations for what made it happen - companies rarely ever reveal their motivations for scheduling things the way they do, and if they do it's often only years or decades after the fact. Therefore all we can often ever do, is infer. But, that shouldn't stop us from *optimistically* inferring the fact that a major outcry from fans likely had a significant part to play. Refusing to infer or only ever accepting motivations that have been confirmed by staff would stymie a lot of not only our online discourse, but also connections between the games we play in general. And furthermore it shouldn't stop us from celebrating as a community and rallying around its major players and taking a moment to recognize that our efforts to bring this to light likely made an otherwise-obscurer remake one that Nintendo considered important enough to feature as the sizzler at the end of a Direct. So let's just accentuate the positive, and enjoy!
To all the people saying they don't support this because they would rather have a NEW Paper Mario... Of COURSE we want a new Paper Mario in the old style. We ALL want that. But that's not likely, and it's not a decision we can necessarily affect. Getting Thousand Year Door remastered however is something there's at least a small chance of doing. Risa Tabata herself said that they would consider it if the fans were vocal enough. And if they do end up remastering it, its performance could have a direct impact on Paper Mario's future. This is honestly the best we've got. It's at least a little realistic, and that's why I'm doing this. Also, to anyone saying that the game doesn't need a remaster because it holds up really well, you're also missing the point of a remaster. It's not just about making the game look better; it's about getting it on a new system so people can play it again without shelling out a ton of money for a used copy and without needing to own a Gamecube or original model Wii.
Everyone commenting here after the announcement today is such a heartwarming thing to see. We really did make it happen. Proud of you all for never losing hope.
Yeah, after the video resurfaced in my feed yesterday I had a feeling it was getting a bunch of new comments. I added one myself. Couldn't believe Arlo had actually predicted Origami King as well! Origami King was good, not great. But oh man, I'm SOOOO excited to replay easily the best Paper Mario game and honestly one of the best games overall, Thousand Year Door!
I actually came back to this video to bring this up. It takes a few years to get the game made. It this video could have potentially been the catalyst. It lines up kind of well. I wonder if Arlo will notice
Dude everything about 2023 has been great from sports like boxing to video games etc. But this is Déjà Vu for me. I'm getting 2019 vibes when I thought the following year was going to be great because of the fun times 2019 was....and then we all know what happened in 2020 . Lockdowns and all. I hope it doesn't be that way though
@@kennymichaelalanya7134The events of 2020 that led to Nintendo's drought were... _very_ extreme circumstances, so I feel like it's safe to be at least somewhat excited for Nintendo's 2024
You have to admit, "Into the Fold" would be a pretty good name for such a hypothetical game. Unlike something like, I don't know... The Origami Monarch or something.
Paige Speights All the fans stirred up by Arlo to preach the #RemasterThousandYearDoor to Nintendo for 9 months straight, Nintendo: Was that a gust of wind I heard?
Good Sonic Games: Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Sonic CD, Sonic Mania, Sonic Generations, Sonic Colors, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Adventure 1, Sonic Unleashed Bad Sonic Games: Sonic 06, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Lost World, Sonic Boom, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic 4, Sonic and the Black Knight Overall, I think the series good games over shadow the bad ones. Respect your opinion though
Arlo, you legend. You did it. Assuming it takes 2~4 years to make a game. You may very well, have changed the history of paper mario with your movement. I made a piece of art way back when you first put this out to try and join in the movement, so i keep thinking back to this every time i hear about paper mario and the hours i put into making a paper mario ttyd painting. You did it arlo, im crediting this remakes existence to this video and your movement. Even if you never see this, i wanted to say, thank you arlo. You did it. Thank you.
Arlo made a great comment about how many rumors have turned out to be true or become a reality years later. He made that comment on the TTYD remake video for Nintendo Direct.
I like the first Paper Mario way more than a Thousand Year Door so its annoying that only Thousand Year Door gets all the love and attention all the time.
@@CyberLance26 Agreed. While TTYD expanded on so many aspects of the original, the PM64 is still a great game in it's own right. The original has so much charm of its own, as well as more, better, and less linear, areas to explore in my opinion. Also TTYD removed the best feature from the original, SPEEDY SPIN!
What we also need... is a TTYD SPINOFF about Luigi's simultaneous (heroic?) adventure in the Waffle Kingdom, as told in his bestselling novel series, Super Luigi.
I think it would be cool for it to be built into ttyd, like you know how you can talk to luigi after each chapter? I feel it would be really cool to talk to him to change characters, and thus change which adventure you're on, and instead of luigi progressing as you progress, if you don't play as him, he'll stay in that same spot he is after you beat chapter 1, so you can play one adventure, then the other, just play one, or play them both at the same time (alternating each chapter.) That would be really cool.
@@cristiansaucedo4707 Super Paper Mario totally does. Yeah it's got different gameplay, but people not liking it is why Nintendo was like "Oh, well they must not like stories in Mario, since New Super Mario Bros. did so well."
@@DarkLink1996. They liked the stories of the first 2 and I believe people have complained to them about going back to the formula of the first 2. Why they don't want to though, is unknown to me :/
me too. TTYD was the game that taught me to love RPG games. Well, the first Paper Mario did that too, but TTYD had a even bigger impact on my taste of games.
Remember when Mario rpgs were good ah we got PM64, TTYD, SPM, (and for Mario and Luigi) super star saga and partners in time WE WANT TTYD HD PLEASE NINTENDO #papermario
Four years and seven weeks later… it is finally announced. 🎉 Also, this video was made for the 15th anniversary. Since the remake is coming out in 2024 it’s just in time for the 20th anniversary. ❤
It’s fantastic. It breaks the 4th wall all the time and is pretty self aware, and the main story and various arcs for the different chapters are deliciously dark but not without hope. The dialogue is more often than not like reading a shitpost in all the best ways (and sometimes there’s multiple things going on in real time in the background that you’ll blink&miss it.) Honestly, Paper Mario needs the turnstyle RPG battle mechanic for the type of humor it has (4th wall breaking) and the audience-approval slot based system/stars recharging system. Stuff the audience does affects the fights. Rock the stage too hard and you’ll get smashed by lights or frozen by the fog machines. Heck, the audience sometimes just shy of fights eachother. (The bobomb members will explode and chase half your audience away, accidentally attack a member you think is throwing a can but it’s actually a mushroom and that demographic and others will leave, etc). It’s wonderfully chaotic in all the best ways, yet still remains knowing exactly what its identity is. Plus, Peach actually DOES stuff while kidnapped, and is no airhead this time around. She’s not able to escape, but she DOES relay vital information back to Mario about the antagonist’s schemes which for the most part wouldn’t be accessible otherwise in-game. And...for once it’s a delicious mix of “it’s a trap!” “Well of course it is. But it’s going off whether they set it off or we go into it or not...so might as well go into it and put an end to the shenanigans”
Or at least a whole collection of the first three games. Plus we’ve already seen the potential of what TTYD would look like via the Paper Mario stage in ultimate.
VIN722 It transforms later into the ship from TTYD and includes the whale from 64. Plus it has Bowser’s castle which has been in all of the games as far as I’m aware.
The day has come to listen to Arlo talk about Paper Mario once more. Paper Mario was the reason I first watched this channel! Been a huge fan ever since!
As a side-note, I forgot how much backtracking there is in this game in general; General White might be the most notorious example, but Chapters 2 and 4 have it pretty bad, too (and a little bit of 5 as well).
Honestly General White is barely an inconvenience. Just use the pipe rooms in the sewers. The part where it's really annoying upon replaying is Chapter 4, but on a first time through it's barely noticeable.
@@TheAbsol7448 It's not like they took away mechanics. Yeah, there isn't much of a post-game in XY, and XY's villains are terrible, but it still has a good story. Plus, SuM has a better post-game and better villains. Also, I like the fact that you're the first champion, and league rematches are different.
@@michaelarcher1228 I'd like to see it as the B-campaign of the TTYD remaster, like how the Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story remakes had new B-campaigns starring the side characters from their respective A-campaigns that flesh out the total picture.
The petition is slowing down a lot, and the video hasn't exactly blown up. I'm not losing hope anytime soon, but maybe it just hasn't reached the right audience yet. Therefore, I have 2 suggestions for anyone reading this who wants TTYD HD to become a reality: -Like and comment on the video if you haven't already so that it's more likely to be recommended to people, and of course sign the petition in the description. -If anyone has connections to someone with a big RU-vid/social media presence who's a fan of the game, let them know about this so they can spread the word. We can make this happen guys, we just need to be patient, but also be involved.
@@luminousluma you’re right, I mean, if TTYD gets a remake then what else is possible? Open world Pokemon game? Persona 5 on Switch? A 2D Mario platformer that isn’t a “new super Mario” game!?
Imagine this; Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door + Paper Luigi: The Waffle Kingdom. You know how they had Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions and Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr. Journey? Why not add in a spin off game that was already something in the original game but this time we actually get to play it ourselves in the remaster/remake version? That would be awesome!
Playing through TTYD when I was 20 always made me think they were teasing the Luigi game, but it never happened. Seems like a waste since someone already took time to write basically a full story for it, however silly it may have been.
@@justineld4905 FYI to you and anyone else interested, there _is_ a fan project in the works called Paper Luigi: The Marvelous Compass that is a straight from-the-ground-up fangame of that. No demos or anything yet, but at least someone is trying to make it.
I want a duology remaster, because it would be pretty cheap to make and it could be out soon. Then after Nintendo rakes in the lucre, they could make a true sequel.
Everybody would but Nintendo's made it pretty clear they got little to no intent to do that atm. At the very least, TTYD needs a rerelease of some kind--its super expensive and only playable on wii/gamecube through the original gamecube disk. And heck, maybe if a remake does well enough, it'll convince them to give the old formula a shot again.
The thing is that a remaster of TTYD is our best shot currently. If Nintendo realizes that a remaster of that game sells WAY BETTER than the last two crap-games, they'll understand why, and if we ever get a new installment, they'll know what to aim for
So uh... this worked. Totally won. We're getting the 1000 year door remaster. Well done everyone. Arlo is victorious yet again. Oddly, he was right twice in this video: first about origami king and then about the remaster. I'm in awe.
Super Mario RPG is OUTRAGEOUSLY better than the original Paper Mario. However, Thousand Year Door is tops. And don't get me wrong, I do love Paper Mario. I just love Super Mario RPG more.
hey, if you're interested, there's a movement to bring back Mario RPG as well. you can find more info at operationstarfall.com or @opestarfall on twitter
@@DeltathRiylaan I personally liked super mario rpg better than thousand year door. although, the original papr mario is my favorite. might be because i played it when i was seven on my wii. maybe that makes it way more nostalgic to me.
I think you can still be a fan of a series despite only liking part of it. If you weren’t a Paper Mario fan you wouldn’t be so disappointed with the new games.
I'm excited to try the Thousand Year Door. Also, kudos to Arlo on having this well-made, lovingly-created video up. It pays to talk about what you love when you love it, because when Nintendo inevitably revisits the idea, you already have the best video on RU-vid up on the channel with no additional work needed. Algorithm, don't fail us now.
Oh my. I did not realize this video was made 4 years ago. Arlo very well could have been the reason TTYD was remade. I remember the hashtag trending for the next few weeks after this video was made. That’s actually kinda crazy to think about if so.
I would prefer a Paper Mario Trilogy of the first three games, but if I had to pick only one to remaster for the Switch, it would be Thousand Year Door for sure!
@@anthony3822 Super Paper Mario still had a good RPG plot, even if it removed a lot of the RPG-elements that made the games fun. Anything after it, though... Yeah, I agree with you. They're not nearly as fun.
This man is a born leader and I will follow him to the ends of the earth even if it means going through the entire crystal castle and fighting the crystal king.
@@Vernas_R he did some stuff on twitter for a bit, and I feel like it becoming #1 trending thing in the US for a day and #4 worldwide on twitter is a pretty good outcry
@@rafaynoman1180 I think it's more of a wide renewal Nintendo is doing, seeing as how Mario RPG was first, so this game makes sense to do as well. It may have, but the chances aren't the best.
@@rafaynoman1180 I will add on to my last reply, it can't be a coincidence that the last scene in the trailer about teaching the bot about love can't be a coincidence. This game is highly loved by so many and so many people requested for it. Not to mention, they gave it the full, proper treatment.
*epic music starts playing while PewDiePie markiplier DanTDM and lots of other gaming youtubers transform into powerrangers and while millions of people arm themselves with guns, knives and toilet paper.
Coming back to this today is so surreal. I love the game and am excited for the remake myself, but I don't think I've ever been this happy on someone else's behalf for getting exactly what they wanted
No it would be Nintendo: Puts a remake of Paper Mario 64 that replaces all NPCs with Toads and removes partners in favor for cards and replaces the chapter bosses with Koopalings.
Isabel Brokaw I really want to play B-K as I’ve never owned a N64 or Xbox and Microsoft and Nintendo seem really buddy buddy recently. Plus B-K was on the N64 and in smash so they’d really feel at home.
I have them but never did get around to playing the 2nd one.. hmm.. now that there's a hmdi cable coming out for n64 you've got me thinking about it :)
I would kill for a The Thousand-Year Door remake; one of the greatest games I've ever played. The story is great, the characters are so charming, the art style and music are both spectacular... It's just amazing.
@@genzsavedamerica2234 You know, I'd completely forgotten that I ever made this comment. But I can't be more happy that this actually came true. The remake looks fantastic, and I only hope it might herald a return to what Paper Mario once was.
