- Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is an unusual GameCube title, that compared to other games released during that time, does not reach THESE prices at all on the aftermarket... Why is that exactly?

That's a real funny title
I will never fold, the title stays!! 😤
Lol
@@NintendoMindset not i will never Fold.
you had one job
Hello weegeepie, also yes that is a funny title
And you being a pedo is a funny title
This aged like milk pretty fast
Somewhere, some scalper is *seething* right now. 😂
We're fighting back!!
I’m glad this aged poorly
Same lol
I like how this video got recommended after the HD remake annoucement.
Now a lot of people can FINALLY play this game :D Fuck yeah!
This aged poorly in the best way possible.
Welp, this aged horribly.
Not even a year old and this video's aged like milk lol
Well thank god now you won’t have to give up a kidney to play this legally now. Can’t wait for the remake.
Lol same!
This aged well.
As of September 14th, This aged greatly, if you know what i mean
One month and Nintendo said... How about now
They really do like messing with me lol
Here after the announcement of the remake, I can't wait to finally be able to play this gem for myself! The massive second-hand prices are something I wouldn't be able to afford for a long time, so having it become available at the average Switch game price (maybe a little lower like other remakes?) is *huge* for people who are unwilling to emulate for one reason or another.
I think many people can relate to that, so thanks Nintendo!
@@NintendoMindset I used to own paper Mario ttyd, but it turned out to be a pirated copy because the box art looked darker
I love how this was reccomended to me today of all days
Well, finally lol
:) Scalpers are gonna be angry now. The game is being remastered.
Can't wait for the prices to go down, finally
Sequel
Why you CAN play this game again
Hahahhaa, next video will be titled that!
We are so back
Time for Nintendo to remaster or rerelease this one
Oh please no 🤮
@@KoCat2867
Oh please no 🤮
Guess whaaaaaaaat... XD
It’s coming
WISH GRANTED!!!!!
Well that title aged poorly.
it then begs the question, will the price go down on the original since we are having a remake made? the remake would make the game far more accessible now, and lessen the demand of needing the play the original, so I would think the price would go down at some point after the remake is released.
REMAKE TIME!
Nintendo: That sounds like a problem that needs fixing... So that's what we did!
The king of left field
WHO ELSE IS HERE AFTER THE REMAKE ANNOUNCEMENT?!?!? I AM!!
Well uh
today just happened
Thank God Nintendo finally decided to remake this game on Switch!
Glad it's not gonna be the case anymore.
I saw my bro played this game. The story is amazing but there's great post game content. Fighting through waves and waves of enemies and going down to ultimately fight the strongest boss in game was daunting and exicting.
Siblings bonding over Paper Mario 🤝
@@NintendoMindset I can testify to that
and then the nintendo direct happend and all changed
Sound off if you're watching this video after the Nintendo Direct announced Thousand Year Door's remake and this becomes hilarious.
Nintendo is literally, the king of left field
IT'S GETTING RELEASED FOR SWITCH LETS GOOOO
wow this aged so poorly...
This video has already aged poorly lol
New speedrun record?
Seeing the prices lowering is so satisfying
Touché scalpers 😂😂😂
I once had this game with many other retro games and consoles until one day everything got stolen. I am in the midst of rebuilding all that but some games like this one are RIP. I realy pray for a remaster. I rather fork over €60 instead of €200
EDIT: It actually happened! My jaw droped on the floor today! Can't wait to play it!
and look what happenedddd !!!! AAAAAAA
Ask and you get
WOOH IT HAPPEND!
You manifested it bud
As much as I love Thousand Year Door, it shouldn’t be going for those prices
Only thing dragging those prices down is Paper Mario TTYD coming to Switch Online
@@NintendoMindset actually? Please don’t be joking
@@awesomeraichu59342 well you get next year a remaster
@@theenderkirby I’m still crying with happiness at the mere idea of playing a remake of Thousand Year Door
@@awesomeraichu59342 yeah I can relate that what I did when return to dreamland come to the switch and this is my second favorite game of all time only behind forgotten land
So hey, you'll never guess what happened...#TTYDSwitch
Well, about that...
Now you can.
Even after the HD remake is released the original version of this game will remain ever elusive.
Crazy how this game that I bought 20 years ago is worth so much now. Even if so many people is willing to buy it from me, I just can't sell it, This game mean too much to me. I'm glad the game is getting remaster so people can experience it. Truly a masterpiece of a game.
btw now we can because it getting a remake
This video just became outdated.
Hahaha, maybe I have to make a follow -up video next year
This is a great video it shows how great the game is. I actually played it recently and I never had this much fun for just an RPG. I grown up with super paper mario so playing this was amazing.
Thanks for watching! We NEED to make this game more accessible for newcomers!🫡
@@NintendoMindset I agree
I heard about the rumors about a remake of the thousand year door and hopefully it will be real because it will make Nintendo a lot of money
@@Uriahtheloser as you already know by now, it is real 🎉
@@TicTacToeCraft ya I saw the direct I can't wait for it and I'm excited for many people to play this game for the first time
I remember when i got this game for 20 bucks from Walmart back in my day 😭
I wonder how much this game value changed after the direct it's most likely still expensive for other reasons specifically for a retro collectors item or seeing how the old one holds up
Nintendo after direct: And I just took that personally.
The Nintendo-meme of the year
Well now everyone with a switch can play it as of 2024. That and SMRPG are my childhood and I can't wait for both of them to be out
Now, where is Mario & Luigi??
@@NintendoMindset You never know, you might get lucky next generation
Now we don't have to worry anymore! Nintendo must be very open on remaking the Mario RPGs lately.
pirates: what you talkijng about? i can still play this
This is a well done video you made describing the current state of TTYD and its prices. One thing I want to mention is I believe the Covid pandemic is the one to blame for the price spike in 2020.
We were at the point where most that owned the GameCube in their childhood are now young adults. When the pandemic hit, everyone started buying GCN games again to pass the time when everything was shut down. When more jumped aboard on realizing those GCN games were the best ones ever made like TTYD, this is when prices skyrocketed as there's high demand with low supply (due to the GCN not selling well in the first place)
Even with the pandemic behind us, the prices are still going to increase with fewer copies available in working condition and more people get attached to the GCN games depending on what hypes it up, (Ex: The GCN Sonic games briefly spiked in April 2022 following the mid-credits reveal in the Sonic 2 film) unless if a said game were to see any re-release in the future.
Thanks for this awesome comment! 🤩 A lot of good insights here, it’s really appreciated
Emulation dawg. Plus Switch Remaster was announced today.
There is a lot of Mario games we can’t afford. Isn’t it amazing that the most expensive mario games are used.😂
Nintendo really does make it unnecessarily difficult for themselves sometimes 😅
You wanna change your mind now?!
Never!
Well how about that…
I got mine on December 2019 for 50-ish dollars (199 BRL) at that time, this is totally one of my favourites games, when the switch version comes out I'll also buy it
I got it back in February for close to $160 (worth it lol). Love the story, characters, and battle system. The music is incredible too. It's one of my favorite games of all time. I was hoping for this game to get a remaster (still do).
It's crazy because I was there when nobody cared about the GameCube and it's library after the Wii hit. I found first party games for less than ten bucks at GameStop in 2009. It's insane to me to see the prices of some games. It makes me happy to see all this interest in the console and its games, but it's bad for me when I want to build a collection.
Perhaps the prices will go down now after the Remake is released?
Finna play this on my Switch in 2024 blud
broskis that problem was solved then lol
This didn't age well lmao
Soooo... who's here after the latest Nintendo Direct...? 😂
Me
Me
Me
I’m so glad this game is getting remake i’ve wanted to play it naturally so badly 😭
Re make coming!!
Now you can!
After seeing the recent previews for the remake, people that say it sucks that it's full price are being very unfair IMO, because prices that scalpers charge for the gamecube version are absurd.
This aged like milk
This aged very well.
So funny story, I pirated the game, but I used a softmod on my Gamecube to run it on original hardware.
7:22 now that we know TTYD is getting a remake its funny that the two games you mentioned also got the Remake treatment.
I can see the future, obviously
It’s back!
It’s a great game though I think Super Paper Mario is just as good if not better in almost every way. Still, I wish Nintendo would do a better job at preserving classic games so I don’t have to resort to emulation.
Super Paper Mario is also great, even though it kinda stepped a little back from its traditional RPG routes
This unfortunately kinda didn't age well, and it's only been a month
What are the odds lol
So about that..
I got TTYD back in 2004 with 2 other games in a 3 for 2 sale at Toys'R'us which means technically I never even paid full price for the game to begin with.
I was like 11 years old at the time and just grabbed 3 games that I thought looked fun... Turns out many people think the same even 20 years later.
This game aged like fine wine like especially fine wine.
Now people will only have to wait 13 months at max to play this gem of a game and not pay 150+ €/$ since it is priced like that at the moment. Doesn't mean the original will decrease in value though
Glad I still have my copy
Lucky! It's really valuable
Well.
well well well
Now this video is poorly dated 😅
We should all be thankful this game is getting a remaster for the switch, so more people can play this game again or for the first time. Yes I’m aware I said remaster when I should’ve said remake. Im not correcting myself.
Hey uh... So you seen that Nintendo Direct?
No, can you enlighten me?
@@NintendoMindset Jokes aside. Scalped prices and collectors won't stop new players from playing this masterpiece.
Finally!! 🤝
You but paper mario the thousand year door on switch trailer?
These prices make me glad the game is getting a re-release on the Switch with graphical overhaul. New fans need to see what made this game so great.
This aged well
well um this aged poorly lmao, paper mario ttyd hd hype
Really its that much. I still have the disc from when i was a kid.
I was lucky to have a copy of this from when my older brother played this, and it is compatible with the Wii. I never realized how lucky I was until I saw this video. With the remaster coming up, now everyone can enjoy :D IM SO EXITED AAAAAAAAAHHHIUEFIASJFBJSEFAUHEFBOAIEF
You Will Never Guess What Happened
My grandparents had the gamecube and a bunch of gamecube games including the paper mario thousand year door game we still have all of them too. Pluse I brought my wii to my grandparents so if we can't use gamecube anymore cause broken then we can play all of them on the wii.
I own the game but I play it on dolphin emulator. My gamecube stopped working a year ago. Also I use my computer more. Playing it on my gamecube was some the best times of my life it is still one of my favorite games.
TH-cam for some reason thinks this video is simeltaniously about Sticker Star and TTYD
Dude, I swear... I cannot tell you how mad I get when I see listings of TTYD and other Gamecube Games on Ebay, only to see that they're either bids, or go for a crap ton of money. Thank GOD for that remaster being announced!
My guess is the current president of Nintendo saw these EBAY prices for this almost 20-year old game, then barged into INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS and said: we will remaster TTYD for $70 (USD) and get this money into *our* coffers.
The mfs sneak in something like “box art only” or “manual only” so we won’t notice.
Hahahaha outdated already???
New PB Speedrun
SO glad I bought a used GameCube back in '11 or so for something like $30. I bought it for two games only - PM TTYD AND Zelda TP, which were around $15-20 each. No way I'm giving them up. Also remember when I bought a copy of Conker for the N64 brand new, for "only" $60ish. No way I'm giving that up either.
You have a switch? You’re gonna want it
TTYD REMAKE BABY LETS GOOOOO
NOT COLOR SPLASH NOOOOOOOO
THEY FUCKING DID A REMAKE
letsgoooo
This aged like milk with the switch copy coming this year.
This video was recommended to me on a video talking about the newly announced remake haha.
That over 300$ sealed copy just lost like 90% of its value, rip to the bozo selling it and to all the scalpers hoping to make big bucks on an OG copy of the game.
The timing on this video was impeccable, just a month before the announcement.
Amen. Shame on those guys trying to rip people off like that. Until the other day I thought I would NEVER be able to play this game again. I can't wait to get it for the Switch! 😁
As someone who still has their ttyd copy, yey
it my first video game i ever play
along with Luigi mansion, Super mario sunshine, and mario kart double dash. wish i woulda gotten the pokemon games there
Gamecube is the best Nintendo-era, easily
oops
This video didn't age well. They made a remake in 2024 for the Switch, so now you can play it on current hardware
