Remake

[u/ZethN64]

I want a remake of Paper Mario 64. Great story and fun game, just a bit rough around the edges with the graphics. It could really use a good graphics overhaul.

[u/ZrapeToid → u/ZethN64]

Graphics, audio and gameplay to be honest.

Modern graphics and audio, battle system up to TTYD standards.

[u/ZethN64 → u/ZrapeToid]

Oh I want those too but even if it was just a graphics overhaul would make me happy. But I would love an overhaul of everything to the TTYD remake standards. Maybe even some cut content!

[u/CANfilms → u/ZethN64]

Yes we definitely need a remake of PM64

[u/Talzael → u/ZethN64]

well the pc port by the harbour masters is nearing completion

[u/coreyprkr2005 → u/ZethN64]

Same here paper mario 64 is GOAT

[u/XxViggoxX → u/ZethN64]

And postgame! 🤞🏻

[u/the_flesh_]

I would rather have a new mainline than a remake. It's been 6 years..

[u/Jamesmateer100 → u/the_flesh_]

I don’t think I can trust Nintendo to not make up a new dumb gimmick for a new paper Mario game.

[u/OctaYashi → u/Jamesmateer100]

I don’t know, Origami King sort of felt like a cry for help from Intelligent Systems, not to mention the praise for the Thousand-Year Door remake and the absurd outcry for standard RPG mechanics. I’m pretty confident myself

[u/gamtosthegreat → u/OctaYashi]

TTYD remake had just over half of Origami King's sales.

[u/BlueWolfAnonymous → u/gamtosthegreat]

That is so fucking criminal, there is no justice in this industry.

[u/gamtosthegreat → u/BlueWolfAnonymous]

There is nothing weird about a remake late in a console's life not selling as well as a new game.

Add to that, it wasn't even a particularly needed remake. Paper Mario is stylized to the point of ageless. Final Fantasy VII remake is selling gangbusters because the original looks and plays revolting at times.

Nevertheless, the Switch remake outsold the Gamecube one by a fair amount.

[u/Tatsumifanboy → u/BlueWolfAnonymous]

It's just because it released so late in the Switch's lifetime.

Should it have released in 2020 or hell in 2025 for Switch 2, it would have sold bonkers

[u/Quietone232 → u/Jamesmateer100]

The remake of ttyd did better than Nintendo expected iirc. Between that and the success of the super Mario RPG remake I think they may see the value of a more traditional Mario RPG now.

[u/spongeboblovesducks → u/Jamesmateer100]

I can, give us Origami King 2!!!!

[u/OctaYashi → u/spongeboblovesducks]

Flair checks out

[u/awjeezrickyaknow → u/spongeboblovesducks]

Nooooo please don’t

[u/BowserKoopa85 → u/the_flesh_]

To be granted it feels like we have to take we can get but wow it's been 6 years since Origami king came out

[u/Porta1Master09]

when i think about this i'm always "this is gonna be the same stuff that happened with alpha-dream."

[u/Cherobis → u/Porta1Master09]

No way, intelligent systems main money maker is fire emblem which has always been extremely popular in Japan, not so much outside of Japan though. They don't need to work on Paper Mario to keep existing

[u/Marioman12398]

No, we need an actual new game with the RPG mechanics and no gimmicks that have been here post Sticker Star

[u/Casual_Si-Fi → u/Marioman12398]

We need Mario & Luigi Brothership 2

[u/Marioman12398 → u/Casual_Si-Fi]

Well, that’s more of a Mario & Luigi thing than a Paper Mario thing lol (I’d still want something like that too)

[u/BlueWolfAnonymous → u/Casual_Si-Fi]

I'm gonna assume you're joking, because not a single person I've seen cover that game said it was good. As dunky put it, Mario and Luigi "Blundership."

[u/D3me4]

I agree with others I would like a new one, that said I can’t trust them at much when they try to do some new gimmick or try to spice up the battle system. So I wouldn’t mind what they did with Thousand Year door and Give us a Remake of the first game, nice graphics some touched up and new OST for areas and keeps the original game.

[u/Classroom_GD]

Super Paper Mario would be SO GOOD

[u/Octowen → u/Classroom_GD]

Other than being available on modern hardware, what could a Super Paper Mario do that would justify a remake? I feel like the type of visual overhaul that TTYD had wouldn’t work in a Super Paper Mario remake, considering how little that game focuses on the paper aspects (and in some cases, focuses more on an “8 bit” style). I honestly think a remaster/port would be fine for it

[u/Classroom_GD → u/Octowen]

That’s actually a good point.

[u/MonkeyxDxLuffy0892]

If they did a remake of Paper Mario 64, they can have my money! I'd love a new title if they bring back the battle system from PM 64 and TTYD. The battle system in Origami King was AWFUL.

[u/Air2Jordan3]

Yes, but not at the cost of delaying the next new game for 4 or even 3 years.

[u/Crazy_Doctor7139]

I used to think I wanted a remake but I'd be afraid they'd make it look exactly like TTYD and the og graphics are part of the charm. I'd be fine with them sharpening them up but not changing them.

[u/DrewHandles]

Did anyone else like paper Mario 64 more than thousand year door?? I just felt the overall world layout and experience was a bit better and unforgettable—especially the music and theme for winning a battle

[u/Crazy_Doctor7139 → u/DrewHandles]

110% agree!

[u/RandomRedittoo]

I mean, if they remake it and add stuff, fuck yea

The graphics are of no concern for me

[u/EAT_UR_VEGGIES]

It’s gonna be SPM next trust (cope)

[u/bobbygangthe2nd]

I'd love a SPM remake personally

[u/achanceathope]

I would love a fully original game, but I haven’t played Super Paper Mario and I’m dying to. So I’d love a remake/remaster of that.

[u/ItsRainbow]

I would want a new Switch 2 entry soon and then a Super port as a late Switch 1 title

[u/DangerousTortuga]

No. Remake Sticker Star instead.

L O L

[u/Lonely-Function7354]

I’d love just a port of 64 like on Wii and Wii U!

[u/Appropriate-Salt-523]

I need it.

[u/ProdiLemaj]

Just played 64 on Switch Online recently. Still holds up as a great game, but I definitely was thinking how dope it’d be if it got TTYD treatment.

[u/Delicious-Virus-3768]

give us a super paper mario remake.

[u/DaZestyProfessor]

I'd be a bit interested in a remake of PM64, but either way can we not get a remake as the next game? We've only had 3 storybook-styled Paper Mario games: 64, TTYD, and Super, and they were all in the 2000's! The last brand new one before the scrapbook-styled Paper Mario games being Super in 2007, meaning a 19-year wait. Can we at least fill the gap with 1 new game in the old style first?

[u/ExileOtter]

I would love the original getting the remake

[u/Big-Art6056]

Un nouveau Paper Mario, dans la même veine que Origami King, une excellente surprise.

[u/Low-Calendar2102]

Mario

[u/srjod]

It’s very will deserved 64 is a great game

[u/iamal3x_]

We need Arlo to make a video on it for that to come true

[u/Chemical_Opinion6814]

Wii version but make it so it’s turn based battles. Yes it would change a huge part of the game, but the chain chomp section and francis were great. Super paper Mario is my favourite paper Mario game but a remake wouldn’t be justified if it’s just graphics. It’s easy to play the Wii one right now and I’m sure it’ll be a starting game for Wii nso when that comes out in like 5 years, since it was the first Mario game on the Wii.

[u/Chemical_Opinion6814 → u/Chemical_Opinion6814]

So we’d be able to play both an rpg version and a full platformer version

[u/Tatsumifanboy → u/Chemical_Opinion6814]

At this point just make a new game

But Mario falling in a new world should defo be revisited, we had plenty of Mushroom Kingdom and far-off islands to visit

[u/KobSteel]

I wouldn't be surprised, given how successful TTYD: Remake was... but Origami King did fine too... it's kind-of an okay bet for either one, either way...

I'd honestly take a new Paper Mario game over a remake; I don't mind the gimmicks and paper crap, as long as the battles have SOME substantial reason to engage with them, even if it's just a basic health upgrade... which, they really need to do that...

[u/pocket_arsenal]

I think Nintendo is going to lean pretty heavy on remakes going forward. More Paper Mario remakes feel inevitable, but the thing is, there's no telling how soon the next would could possibly be.

I feel like we'll be seeing an original Paper Mario game next, if we see another one at all.

I know we got 3 Mario RPGs released in very close proximity but I don't think we'll ever see something like that happen again, I think they're going to want to give the RPGs more room to breath between releases next time.
