Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is an upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch. It is a remake of the 2004 Nintendo GameCube game of the same name. It was announced in the September 14, 2023 Nintendo Direct, and it is scheduled to be released in 2024.[2] The title will feature visually enhanced and updated graphics. However, the characters still use their general designs from the original, rather than the updated designs used in the later Paper Mario games starting with Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
Differences
- The entire game has a higher-resolution, more crafted appearance similar to Paper Mario: The Origami King. For example, the characters now have a softer, felt-like texture, while the pigs have visible seams on them.[2]
- Characters are generally more expressive, such as during the kitchen mystery on the Excess Express.[2]
- The Mario Bros.' House has a group picture of the partners from Paper Mario as a call-forward to Super Paper Mario having it along with one for the Thousand-Year Door partners.[2]
- A few new character designs have been added, such as a purple martial artist-themed Toad in Glitzville.[2]
- Characters are given unique talking sounds during dialogue, similar to the Mario & Luigi series.[2]
- The whole party is visible while riding the Cheep Blimp.[2]
- More characters can be seen from behind, such as Mario's partners, unlike in the original, where they are shown in a frontal profile regardless of the camera angle.[2]
- TEC-XX now has a red eye in all regions rather than only in Japan.[2]
- The logo design in English-language regions has been redesigned to resemble the Japanese logo of the original game more.
- There is a "Superguard" text pop-up that appears when the player successfully performs a Superguard.
