Arlo rlly got Pikmin 1+2+4, Metroid Prime Remaster, AND Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake all in a single year. I wonder what his thoughts are on the current state of affairs…???

If they give him one more big win, the poor fuzzy guy might be in a coma from sheer joy.

Only heard good things. I played the original Paper Mario and TOK and loved both. Can't wait for this one.

Welcome.
I'm so glad you won't have to pay $100-$150 to experience it (and need a GameCube or Wii if you don't have one).

PM64 is still my favorite , but you can't go wrong with TTYD. This looks amazing!

I'm glad at the bare minimum 64 is on the Expansion Pack. But I really hope it gets a remake one day. Even if it's not the same level of hype as TTYD, it needs a graphical remake and possibly some gameplay tweaks.

I was considering starting another playthrough of this on my Cube, but now I guess I'll wait

I'm excited for this, but apparently it has 30 FPS. That hasn't bothered me before but apparently the timing becomes harder the less frames there are.

Odds are I'm going to get it no matter what. I'm a sucker for Mario.

Definitely a good game. But, it is yet another retread. Going to be a pass for me.

There was a lot of remakes and remasters in that direct. Good for people that don't like emulation and don't have the original games, but I find it hard to be excited about any of it.

People argue for emulation to preserve games lost to time, if that game is widely available it's called stealing it when you emulate it.

They are probably saving the new stuff for the next console, this is mostly just to keep things going till then.

I mean it's alright to personally not care for remakes and remasters.
No one should have to pay the crazy prices for TTYD and no one should have to resort to emulation (which is illegal).
A graphical remake of a game and an official way to buy it new is a win.

It certainly is a win, but a small one. Nintendo should make all of their games available for purchase on their most recent console, instead of expecting us to cheer everytime they port ONE game. The new visuals are good, but that is no excuse for not also making the original version of the game available as well.
