Nintendo just announced the Switch 2 in the most casual way possible. Tweeting on the Japanese account, Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed an announcement would arrive "within the fiscal year", while also revealing a new Direct is due to take place in June. However, the Switch 2 will not be at this Direct, as it will focus only on the second half of 2024 for the original Switch - right now, Nintendo's upcoming roster looks very empty, possibly due to the hole created by the Switch 2.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Remake Changes Controversial Scene

It seems as though the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year-Door remake has changed the controversial Goombella catcalling scene from the original game. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remains one of the GameCube's most beloved games. It has remained trapped on the GameCube for two decades, but it will finally be making its way to modern platforms thanks to the upcoming Switch remake.
For the most part, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch seems as though it will be mostly faithful to the original release. Fans can basically expect a similar experience as the GameCube original, though the Thousand-Year Door remake has better graphics and makes various tweaks to certain parts of the game. One such tweak has recently been discovered thanks to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake previews that have been hitting the internet.
Such previews have revealed that the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake is changing the catcalling scene found in the original game. As reported by Nintendo Everything, the catcalling scene in the original Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door shows a group of Goombas catcalling Goombella, saying things like, «Wassup, baby?» «Who's that hottie you got there with you?» «Man, what's a FINE-lookin' Goomba doin' with a tubby mustache man like that?!?» The new version of the game changes the dialogue to remove the catcalling and keep the insults focused squarely on Mario. Nintendo has not revealed why it made the changes.
Some purists may be disappointed to see Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door make this change, but the game seems to have otherwise retained controversial elements that were present in the original release. For example, when the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake was first announced, many were surprised to see that it kept the noose from the original game. Fans will have to wait for the full release and compare the two versions to see if there were any other changes to the game, or if it's otherwise mostly intact besides the changes made to the Goombella catcalling scene.
Luckily, the wait for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch is nearly at an end. With its May 23 release date right around the corner, fans are free to pre-order Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door now, though they may want to be selective about where they buy the game from. Amazon has reportedly been canceling some Thousand-Year Door remake pre-orders, while GameStop has some exclusive pre-order bonuses on offer.
A modern version of the classic 2004 RPG, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for the Nintendo Switch features upgraded graphics along with other changes intended to make the game as accessible as possible.
