THE TRAILERS ARE BEGINNING.
THE FINAL STRETCH IS NEARLY UPON US
😆
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging..
yahoooo
2 months feels like forever tho...😭😭😭
@@DonutTPOTer Why couldn't it be April :(
I never thought I could miss seeing someone say “Ahem!” so much until this moment
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging..😮
Since I grew up with SPM I always headcannoned it as Merlon narrating the story.
@@tt._.donald That's a bot
@@Tiger10002 You should be making content that appeal to others instead of coming to a video that you know may people will watch and comment under everyone's comment and beg for subscriber.
This make you almost no difference than a beggar.
The only difference is that he beg for money straight and you beg for subscriber that can convert into a product which brought with money.
Yours video aren't actually that bad and I think you will reach 20K soon.
Keep up the work.
@@bluekirby_64 I assumed this is a real person at first so…
The fact that a city was violently destroyed and thousands of people lost their lives to fire, lightning, and floods at once is being show to lullaby music. Dang, I love Paper Mario!
I mean this game has easily the most twisted and disturbing villain in any Mario game. I freaking love Grubba! He's so fantastically well written. The more you look at that chapter and the events within the more terrifyingly evil he gets.
Not like The Shadow Queen almost killed off the whole population again....@@operationomniverse351
Rogueport even has a cute little gallows 🥰
@@cabrondemente1 Adorable!
This is seen as one of the darkest stories in the Mario series (although not the only one)
Man, the fact they're emphasizing the story aspect of this game so much means they HAVE to know how long we've been longing, how much this game deserves the love and respect it is getting.
i was lowkey expecting the intro to be voice acted
YO!
imagine if they gave us a side-mode called paper Luigi! y'know like how M&L S3 (Superstar saga) And BIS (Bowser inside story) got little side-modes?
@alakazamlover4908 yeah, like how Luigi has his little side claims in the story. Only let us play them.if we want
@@oblitusunum6979 we unlock each chapter of his story when we run into him in Mario's story and he gives some random not-so correct cliff notes
then we get to play the ACTUAL story ourselves! we can finally save princess waffle or whatever her name was! :D
they gave bowser JR. and the kooplings TWO DIFFERENT SIDE MODES in the M&L remakes on 3ds, so why not give Luigi something, right?
The fact that the entire intro is animated like a pop-up book! They didn't have to do that, but I'm so glad they did! And that music! Ugh, so many chills and memories washing over me!
They didn't have to make it a full HD remake with that gorgeous new lighting, sharp textures and new assets. But they did anyways. They really deserve our money in this case.
@@dampflokfreundThat's Nintendo. it's their job.
@@not.g5758 Oh no. Don't take it for granted Nintendo is doing this for the PM fans. Fans of Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword just got a low effort HD remaster. I still dream of Twilight Princess HD as a remake, in that cool 2011 Tech Demo graphics.
@@dampflokfreund would you shut up about that Zelda tech demo on Wii U that never happened??? It was a tech demo for a reason
I can’t wait to see what else they did for this remake!
The fact that the developers of the game FULLY ANIMATED the story instead of just keeping it to turning the pages shows how above and beyond they're going with it.
I can't wait two months, but I gotta! ;v;
Seems like the bare minimum for charging $60 for a 20 year old game...
Under 2 months my fellow
@@matt4122 Yeah can't wait to play the same game again...
@@matt4122 Yeah, $60 isn't exactly great for a remake of an old game people have already played.
But then again, I would have paid $100 to finally play this beaut in GLORIOUS HD, just like SMRPG Remake, so it makes no difference to me!
@@matt4122
It's a remake completely redone from scratch.
It's no different to the Resident Evil Remakes of 2-4.
Ahem! Today
I'm going to tell you the story of the Paper Mario series.
An awfully long time ago...
In an era of innovation and ambition, a beautiful game called Paper Mario was created, with an endearing world, characters, and brilliant battle system.
It was soon followed by a sequel-- Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, a critically acclaimed success that built on the original in every way.
And though the third entry was quite different, it still had the heart of the first two, and was also quite adored by many.
But one day, tragedy befell this blessed series.
A wicked curse struck all the characters, turning them into generic toads.
All experience points were spirited away into the ether, and cursed stickers rained down from the sky, making anything they touched bland and boring.
It was as if the very series had come to a violent end.
And in but a single night...
The series sank into an ocean of paint.
Many moons rose and set...
Stories of the original games and how good they are were met with ingorant accusations of nostalgia blindness...
And when the next generation of children no longer knew how great the first two games were...
A new game suddenly unfolded like a pop-up book.
But word soon spread among those who played it...
That an ancient relic of the past, the roots of the series, lie somewhere, just waiting to be uncovered in this new generation.
And that a remake could one day breathe new life into these beloved titles.
Indeed...
This is the tale of the fabled Paper Mario games of old.
Yes, this is where it begins, in the sea town of Rogueport.
The tale of the quest for the legendary title...
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door... starts here.
You have my applause. The TTYD is one of my favorite video games of all time, and is by far my favorite Mario game.
First THREE games, don't leave SPM out of this
This comment deserves more notice
Pre-orders are selling like hot cakes. It makes me happy to see this game reintroduced to a new generation.
IT'S FULLY ANIMATED!
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging..
@@Tiger10002the kidnappers said they'd release my family if they got 1 mill begging you guys literally begging
@@Tiger10002 but you have nothing interesting to say or post.

@@lololordjr😂
Usually Nintendo just posts like various gameplay whenever they are doing these trailers, but with Thousand Year Door they posted the intro and people still got hyped. Lol
THEY KNOW.
I mean.....
Wasn't the first trailer the gameplay one, tho?
They just decided to flip things this time, which I think works better.
@@playermob7885 I think it's more of an update to see how fans react
they got hyped cause they actually updated this intro in the best way possible.
It's certainly effective
This is just like Mario vs Donkey Kong because the latter and this game each has picture frames back in 2004. 20 years later, they finally got to animate the cutscenes of Mario vs Donkey Kong and this intro of TTYD. It's crazy how 20 years flew by. It feels like my childhood has been revived.
The sound effects, my god, it's beautiful. I can't get enough of the book opening sound effect at 0:12
Bro...😢
They actually freaking animated the whole opening...that's so awesome! 😊
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging...
I could have sworn it was animated before? lol it’s been years since I last played it though
@@ChicoMachismo nope. It was still images in the OG
@@ChicoMachismothe power of our memories long ago lol.
They made something awesome even more awesome
When you actually think about it...
The pipe that leads to Rougeport Sewer is probably just a drainpipe from the previous city structure
They kind of touch on that in the game
I like how revisiting the ancient city's layout after finally beating the last chapter makes me notice how the city remains have some recognizable parts. The long stairs, the bridge, the tower in the center - I can recognize all these places in the last area of the game, inside the 1000-year door.
The 1000 year door will soon be open...once more. Your journey begins now.
I started tearing up from the moment the camera panned into the first image of the old castle. My heart is so full from this beautiful rendition of the intro!!!
Also, brilliant choice of orchestrating the melody as a bassoon solo at 0:55 👏👏🤧🤧
Me too brother. I will cry so much when we get to play this.
Paper Mario fans have finally gotten a victory.
A true victory would be a brand new game in this style, but this is a very close second, so I’ll take it!
@@TheSuperSaiyan4Gameryeah, hopefully they revert back to the old style after this. I miss when paper Mario games had creative and interesting characters and story.
@@TheSuperSaiyan4Gamerhonestly with how much Paper Mario has gone through in the 20 years and while Super, and Origami King were great they weren’t the original style this might as well be a new game
Rebuying an old game is considered a victory
Now we just gotta hope it sells well for Intelligent Systems to make more.
Never clicked on something faster
Nah fr, working out rn put the whole thing on hold 😭
Me neither!
SAME
Agreed
FR!
I have never cried over a video game trailer as much as i have over this one. I remember growing up poor and my dad still managing to buy me a GameCube and this game so much nostalgia plus i can finally read and understand it now
*cute, peaceful, playful music *
*many people died it was very tragic.*
Goosebumps all over. This literally jolts me into my body when I was just a young child. The house I grew up in, the family happy before divorce. All things were right. This game is it for me. I could be on my death bed and play through this one time and pass on with a smile. Such a masterpiece, and I am thankful for experiencing it when it came out in the early 2000s.
same here
I’m actually sorry for you for the divorce of your parents, though I’m glad you’re nostalgic for this game. Wish I got to experience it myself back in those days.
I understand what are you feeling, sometimes I would like to return when I was 10 when I didn't have responsabilities, well it's life
Anyway watching this video I'm really hyped of this game, unluckily I'm on vacation when it will released, so I will start it around 31st May-1st June
This remake looks godly. I can't wait to play this gem of a game in this magnificient form again.😢
I'm so sorry things became difficult while you were growing up, I know sometimes divorce can be beneficial for children in situations involving significant family dysfunction & whatnot but it's always difficult for the kids because it's their entire 🌎 & it likely feels like it falls apart🫂❤️🩹.I hope games like this feel like a warm cozy blanket fresh from the dryer for you🌞.By the way if you haven't played it, give the original Paper Mario for N64 a try sometime... It's wonderful in my opinion, I played it as a young child😊🎮.
I can’t believe Nintendo is still allowing a noose in the town square of a Mario game in the year 2024. I’m not complaining, I’m just sort of surprised.
I think they know that even something like removing the noose would create negative backlash, considering how much it added to Rogueport’s character and atmosphere originally. I think they wanted to make the game as authentic to the original as possible, and that included the gallows.
Wonder if they’ll bring back the chalk outline of the dead Toad.
It shows how much this is for the fans
@@Tarkus_H or allow vivian to be transgender in the international version.
@@garretdrake2347They let Acht be nb in Side Order so I would assume so
I hope Nintendo knows that now we all want a physical copy of this book
This gave me chills. RIP Tyler. Wish you could have been here to see
Who's Tyler???
Tyler?
My little brother whom I shared the experience of thousand year door with about 15 years ago. He passed away recently way too young. I miss him so much
@@glennrugar9248 im so sorry 🤍😟
Genuinely surreal seeing a classic Paper Mario game with the same high quality presentation as the newer games. Absolutely glorious.
I know right? While I do prefer the classic style when it comes to gameplay, I was still very impressed with the visual presentation and soundtrack of the newer games.
With this remake, we'll get to see the greatest strengths (in my personal opinion) of both styles of Paper Mario put together.
The greatest strenghts combined. Hopefully this sells,because you can tell they gave their all with this remake and I rlly want them to do a spiritual sequel to TTYD.
@@disneysydneyresortvirtual9264exactly. Tell the pirates to get a job and buy this game instead of stealing it.
@@disneysydneyresortvirtual9264 Super Mario RPG sold like gangbusters. I don't think this'll have any problem selling.
Thank goodness it doesn't use the exact style of those games otherwise mario would have this ugly dumb white outline around him.
Thank god they kept the noose in lmao
They already shown the noose back at the announcement trailer.
This accessed a part of my childhood I forgot existed at 31.
My absolute favorite paper mario game!!!! I cant wait!!!!! Maybe they will try to give us the original paper mario too someday
Video game remakes are so high definition, that it's just looks beautiful...
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging..
@@Tiger10002 Liar! 😆
But the remastered music is hit or miss.
@@Christoph8 And that's why all remakes should have an OG soundtrack option.
@@SaltyToad00 Like the Super Mario RPG remake.
This is literally my favorite game ever. My father died last week and I have been playing Paper Mario TTYD again to keep myself from thinking about him. I can’t wait for the remake to drop on May 23rd
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging...
I'm so sorry for your loss pray he's resting in peace. bless you man.
Condolences friend🙏
I’m very sorry for you
@@Tiger10002 Why are you everywhere
When I played this game for the first time, I couldn't put it down. I ended up staying up all night to play through it, even though it was a school day. This game holds a special place in my heart.
I never played this game growing up, so I can only imagine how indescribably amazing it must be to see such a precious game brought to life again…
The fact that the intro was fully animated instead of just pictures was truly amazing! And the intro remix was so good!
Omg the fact that it’s a fully animated cutscene instead of just being still pages of the book, I was excited to hear the music alone but they exceeded my expectations with this! Can’t wait to play one of my favorite games all over again 💜
Hello SiIva fan
@@Evdafawth I have been recognized! Hello!
This HAS to sell well, guys. If it doesn't, we likely won't get another Paper Mario game like this ever again.
Don't worry I'm gonna buy 3 copies :)
You act as if AAA studios actually respond to sales numbers in any sensible way
@Kenpokid4 That's all they care about. If it makes tons of money, they'll keep doing what works.
@@canteensupplier9084 When has Nintendo responded reasonably to sales numbers? Or Square Enix?
@Kenpokid4 The New Super Mario Bros Series. Why do you think they made 5 games? Because they sell well.
Mario Kart series. Always a new one on every console because it sells well.
Can't forget how Square Enix has a million final fantasy games because they sell well, too.
Those arpeggios in the opening throw me back and give me chills. I just want to listen to this over and over again.
I started crying, not only hearing the opening music but having the entire intro animated touched my childhood so much. I am the happiest man in the world right now. I can't wait to play my favorite game of all time again.
I rlly can't wait to hear the finale version of this ost. I'm sure it's gonna be an epic moment. Nintendo finally realised what a gem of a game this is.
@@disneysydneyresortvirtual9264I can't wait for the Twilight town theme to send chills down my spine again. The notes were already very high. Reminded me of partners in time songs
@@nintendofan5978 This game has so many great chapters,I literally can't wait for the arena,twillight town,excess express,etc.
@@disneysydneyresortvirtual9264 Or the shadow sisters, Doopliss theme bro...
🙂I'm thrilled to 👀 this too...Now if they'd remaster the old original Paper Mario, I'd be so happy because I played it as a little child😄🎮.Also Luigi's Mansion & Super Mario Sunshine could use remasters, hopefully someday they get around to them too🌞👍🏻.
This made me cry. The love and passion de developers are putting in this game makes me so happy❤
Their passion is the reason I love Paper Mario
The attention to detail with the paper aesthetics in the animations is just so fantastic, the whole intro got such a glow up and its so great to finally see this game get reconigsed again after all this time as its one of the best ever made. May 23 cant come soon enough
Well April 8th is the eclipse and several states are telling people to stock on food and fuel ahead of the event and stores will close that day and schools will close and the US national guard will be deployed in some states.
I never would have expected they would animate the opening of the game from the book. I wonder what other changes they have done besides this. Please let us have a side story adventure from Luigi’s perspective. Please!
Oh hey they kept the noose
Ikr? I wonder if they kept that "feather loss site" joke from Twilight Town
Based Nintendo 😆
Frankly, I’m surprised!
@@knightofarkronia9968 Heh, Frankly.
I never thought I’d be happy to see noose but life is full of surprises I guess
Nothing like just uploading the opening cutscene and literally nothing else to have an easy trailer…and I watched it…and loved it…
I can hear all the TH-camrs scream at the Nintendo Direct reaction when this happened
I adore the mario RPGs. I played through the Mario & Luigi games so many times but always stayed away from the newer paper mario games because I've heard bad things about them. This however is the one I've always wanted to try but couldn't because it's been almost impossible to come across. Thank you for remaking this game.
Very, very, very few songs can manage to get me teary-eyed within the first handful of notes.
I really hope this game does well. I'd really like to see Paper Mario return to form, especially with the seeming death of Mario & Luigi.
I couldn’t agree more!
Yes please . I will support this !
The sound effects are honestly really nice, and enhance the scene. I hope they keep the wind and seagull sound effects around Rogueport in the actual game
I keep coming back to this video. That’s how excited I am for this remaster. ONE MORE MONTH!!
I am so happy that Nintendo is remaking this game and that so many new people will have the opportunity to experience this amazing game. Thank you, Nintendo!
I am so happy for Nintendo as well.
My parents said if I hit 20k they'd buy me a professional camera begging you guys literally begging...
@@Tiger10002 If this is true, I don't think that going around responding to comments is the best way to achieve this goal. I suggest that you try making a push another way!
@@Tiger10002
Get a job.
Makes it more accessible to buy now too
This Game better break some Records, so Nintendo gets the Idea of reviving another Mario RPG Series
Mario and Luigi anyone?
@@FLUDDgate-dc2sp
*EXACTLY!*
I gave away my copy of Origami King to my friend because I don't even care about it anymore. Replaying the first Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi game reminds me of the sheer fun of a more traditional RPG mechanics and I hope they're here to stay. I'd love to play as Bowser or some other villain again.
I miss Alphadream@@FLUDDgate-dc2sp
Yeah I'm just gonna give it to you straight it's very unlikely this game sells better than the previous paper Mario game due to it being a remake and being the second entry on the switch, just look at fire emblem and xenoblade with their second game sale numbers on the switch compared to their first ones
One month left until this masterpiece gets a new shine in the spotlight.
This game is just pure gold. The fact that the remake is about to come out is just platinum! This is such a win for Nintendo!
Love the new detailed intro that actually shows the cataclysm that befell the ancient city.
yeah it’s crazy you can see the tidal waves move
I appreciate that it shows the devastation, but still keeps the direct cause a mystery.
@@BlaizeTheDragon
I kinda want the game to hopefully expand on what caused the calamity.
@@philipcheung63 I mean... I think it's pretty obvious on what caused it. Spoilers below:
The shadow queen
@@philipcheung63What do you think caused it? The “treasure” - the Shadow Queen, the final boss.
One of the only games my mother played with me as a child. It holds an extremely important place in my heart.
i wish they would include the first one remastered as a surprise D;
Wow! This new version of the intro story looks so magnificent!!
Never once did I even consider them animating the intro. That was absolutely fantastic.
Dare I say that I kinda prefer this version of the music over the original too? This is coming from a huge fan of the original but the additional and more detailed instruments with the more convincing music box tune is phenomenal.
This is an amazing recreation of the intro cutscene and I can't believe that it's fully animated too, I'm just still so glad that my favorite game of all time is being remade!
PLEASE buy this game and show Nintendo the kind of Paper Mario game we WANT
Girl stop I'm like legit tearing up right now. 😢😢 this was a game I grew up on and when I tell you the literal scream the NANOSECOND I saw that iconic storybook it was enough to wake the dead. I ENVY people who get to experience this game for the first time. Oy I'm so glad I've lived long enough to see this game shine in the spotlight once again
Same 😭
THIS.
This alone shows us that the devs are going above and beyond to make this remake perfect.
The storybook coming to life is such a refreshing change, not to mention the music! I’m so excited for one of my favorite games of all time not just for me, but also for my friends who’ve never played the original
Nintendo please remember that the whole reason the world was originally made out of paper is the games are supposed to be stories from a book.
This intro has got to be one of the biggest improvements of all time
It’s beautiful!
Animating the opening, I’ve never been happier to see something I’ve seen a thousand times before.
Nice pun! 😄👍
I couldn’t agree more.
It is still unreal to me that we are even getting a Thousand-Year Door remake at all. I’ve been looking forward to seeing the intro ever since the first reveal trailer, but this absolutely blew me away. The added cinematics are actually perfect, I don’t know how they could’ve done this better. And the MUSIC UGH
I never got the chance to play this as a kid, now I can with my switch. I’m definitely going to preorder this one!
Thank you Nintendo for listening to your fans again….
I still can't believe this, one of my first childhood games and one of the best paper mario games. I can't wait to play this again
THE MUSIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL OMG
They actually went the extra mile and fully animated it, i-i can't believe it! Thanks devs!
Can't wait to finally experience this classic for myself. One of my earliest TH-cam memories is watching let's plays of this game, so even though I never played it for myself it's still nostalgic for me.
The combination of the music and this story of a land falling into legend still brings tears to my eyes every time. I love ttyd so so much
Finally i can relive this game all over again
I got chills and I'm near to crying, the remade soundtrack is going to be legendary
Now THIS is a great use of the "paper aesthetic": to support great storytelling!
If this is kept throughout the game, it could be the BEST remake treatment a game gets!
This game is going to break records. P.S. Nintendo, thanks for listening to us
For once...😐
Nintendo: Sure, just pay 60,00 of your currency. 😊
@@marvpott687 Wow, that cheap? I was afraid I'd have to get a copy of the original for $100+, a GameCube, controller and memory card, but this is great!
@@marvpott687speak English
@@marvpott687 at least you don't have to pay 300 dollars for the original
First, The Super Mario RPG remake
But now this, Damn!, Nintendo is been treating its employees like the Heart of Gold ever since Super Mario Bros. became a pop culture sensation since 1985
1 MORE WEEK GUYS, 1 MORE WEEK!!!!
I’m gonna guess the Shadow Queen will make a comeback as well?
She is the final boss, so I'm pretty dark sure she is here to stay. Now with the much better graphics, and topped with the fact that different characters get their own voice sound effects now, she is likely going to be even more terrifying than she was 20 years ago.
Just seeing that cutscene makes ecstatic to see what else is in store. I always felt the amount of care that goes into the Paper Mario games, and that’s why it’s one of my favorite Nintendo franchises. Never played this yet, but I’m thrilled that I’ll have the opportunity.
The thousand year wait has ended
Those first 3 notes of the melody takes me back all the way to my childhood. I am so getting this game when it comes out in may
Nothing will ever overshadow the memories I have of my first days of gaming. Those nights spent at my bros GameCube playing this and never beating it. I've seen the ending and seen him beat it, but now I have some unfinished business, stars to collect, treasure to find, and a princess to save. Oh... and a legendary door to open....
I really love how enhanced this is. I know it's gonna be one of my favorite Switch titles.
I love how the intro's now animated like a pop-up book. The remix they did for this was great, too! It sounds super reminiscent of the music from Color Splash and Origami King. I can't wait to play this when it comes out!
Dear Nintendo, this is what I have been wanting from Paper Mario for the last 20 years. The last three to four Paper Mario games released never stepped a toe outside of this games shadow. Please return this series to this style of game.
I was not expecting a new take on the intro. This is awesome!
Been replaying this game recently until the remake comes out. So hyped for this game
I am genuinely saying this is the hypest I've been for a game ever
I remember playing this game when it first came out at 5 years old for Christmas. I'm actually playing it with my daughter in my lap right now, and the thought of her getting to experience the same thing I did when I was younger is amazing
As someone who, sadly, never had a GameCube, I never had the chance to play Paper Mario & The Thousand Year Door. But, thanks to me having a Nintendo Switch, I now have the chance to play another GameCube classic.
I'm so happy that Nintendo brought back this masterpiece I can't wait to play it
I got chills watching this, is so well done and I love how they kept the old dialog but completely animated the intro. Chefs kiss.
I will finally be able to play this masterpiece myself. I'm looking forward to it immensely.
This is one of my favorite games of all time, I’m so glad they are giving this title a proper remake/remaster with love and care put into it.
Still can't believe this is real
Woah!!
This remake is definitely striving for originality! Can’t wait to play this masterpiece again on Switch!
Ain't u Nathaniel B?
Imagine if Pink Gold Peach somehow made it into the game… poor guy would need CPR
Nice revision to the intro, I remember the original was motionless.
"B-b-but it's only 30fps! The original was 60!"
So why didn't the original actually do something with those frames? Pretty sure the JPEG NPCs in the Arcade minigames and Glitz Pit only ran at like 15fps anyway lmao
I hate to sound corny but the intro song always stirs some emotions in me and seeing this beautiful rendition paired with a fully animated version of the story made me cry a little. It's even more amazing than how I remembered it.
I'm so glad they finally get to animated the storybook in this intro! The intro remix is not that bad. I'm stoked to hear more of the soundtrack in the remake and wondering how good each of the track sounds like. This takes me back to my good old childhood days again.
