Nintendo has given fans another glimpse at the remake of 2004’s Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door after releasing the intro cutscene from the game. The video focuses on the jump in visual quality that the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake will bring.
Back in September last year, during a Nintendo Direct stream, the Japanese gaming giant announced that it was developing a remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Switch. The reveal trailer showed the graphically improved versions of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and more. While the original game released in 2004 for GameCube, the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake is set to arrive on May 23, 2024 – nearly 20 years later.

In the GameCube era, the original Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door tasted significant success, quickly emerging as one of the best games on the console. Unsurprisingly, fans had been clamoring for a remake for the past few years. The original game’s status among Mario fans has ensured that there is a strong hype for its Switch remake. As a matter of fact, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake has already sold out at certain online retailers months ahead of launch.
The strong number of pre-orders and the general anticipation leading up to the launch of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake is promising, to say the least. For Nintendo, which is navigating through the final years of its Switch console, the game could likely be one of the last blockbuster launches on the platform. Moreover, as it faces steadily dwindling Switch sales, the forthcoming remake could give the
