According to recent leaks, the Nintendo Switch could soon be receiving a revamped version of Nintendo World Championships. Created specifically for the titular Nintendo World Championships esports competition, the Nintendo World Championships 1990 NES cartridge is one of the rarest video games of all time, with only a little over 100 confirmed to be in existence. As one might imagine, this has made Nintendo World Championships highly sought-after by collectors.
Preview: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

It’s only been a few days since I loaded my copy of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door onto my Nintendo Switch, but I’ve already played through the entirety of what I can cover in this preview, and let me tell you – it’s been a blast. The Thousand Year Door is one of my favourite, if not my absolute favourite, video game of all time. To see it remade on the Nintendo Switch is amazing, and while some like to grumble about paying full price for old games, Nintendo has done enough here I think to justify the price being charged.
The Paper Mario franchise is one of my favourites from Nintendo, although I have felt that more recent releases haven’t lived up to the first two titles in the series. Sure, the Origami King was a great title on its own, but it still lacked some of the great features I love to see in a Paper Mario game. With Paper Mario 64 available on Nintendo Switch Online, and now The Thousand Year Door coming to Nintendo Switch, I hope that the next new entry in the series goes back to these roots.
But enough blabbering about that – let’s talk about what I have seen so far. This is a game that remains true to its origins with a bunch of new, albeit minor, additions. The soundtrack has been completely overhauled, but still sounds amazing. For those looking to play with the original music from the GameCube version of the game, there is a sound badge you can (although I haven’t seen it yet) purchase and equip to give you the nostalgic music you might love. All that being said, the music here is phenomenal, and after playing the GameCube version a few months back, I prefer the new approach here on the Nintendo Switch!
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door has never been an overly complicated game, and in fact, some may call that one of the games faults. While nothing seems to be much harder here, it is worth noting that Nintendo has once again made age accessibility of their games a top priority. The game is fairly easy, but it can be a bit easier yet. Two brand new characters have been added to the world to help you on your way. There is a Battle Master Toad who will help you learn and perfect the timing of attacks and defences. This is particularly helpful in identifying stylish timing moves that will earn you more stars, refilling your star gauge faster than you normally would. The other new character is hanging out near the requests board in East Rogueport – they will provide you with helpful hints and tips. I don’t remember this character from the original, although I could be wrong. The other accessibility change might have also been availble in the original, but now you can press a button when Goombella is your partner and she will provide helpful tips on what you should do next.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Switch Preview
It wouldn’t be a classic Mario game if he didn’t blindly follow the instructions of a letter or invitation and end up going on yet another adventure. That’s exactly what happens at the start of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, though in this rare instance, it’s actually a genuine invitation from Princess Peach to come and hunt down a mystical treasure, and not a dastardly ruse.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Hands-On Impressions – Recycled Materials
Nintendo and its fans usually get a long pretty well, with the Paper Mario franchise being an unusual bone of contention. For many years Nintendo has stubbornly attempted to dial down the quirky stories, unique characters, and RPG elements that defined early entries in the series, much to the chagrin of a particular cadre of fans. As perhaps the last true RPG in the series, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has taken on a certain symbolic importance to those spurned fans even though it was never a particularly big hit, selling fewer than 2 million copies on Gamecube.
