Classic Paper Mario has returned, as a remake.

Imma gonna be honest, I really liked my playthrough of Origami King, charming dialogue, inventive battle system (even if some are mix on that point) which really showed it's strength during the boss fights, had one of the best soundtracks of it's year.

Since then, I looked upon the OG Paper Mario community which try to belittle almost everything that's not core to the first two games which before this remake haven't been revisited in almost 2 decades. I kind feel disdain towards their community and I think Nintendo got too generous with them with that reveal.

Anywoo, if it lines up well during the summer, I might play it, I'm sure it'll be good in all cases.

I assume the community is like our own Lonely_Dolphin who hated hard without ever giving Color Splash and Origami King a chance after Sticker Star. But even in all this irrationality is some truth at its core, because the RPG gameplay of the first two Paper Mario games is giving the turn-based battle systems an actual purpose.

Disdain should be put on hold and only unleashed if said community for some reason decides that paying full price is not something they'll do. This is a Nintendo remaster (or perhaps even a remake, whatever qualifies these days), not some Namco bullshit. So it's improbable that there will be any defensible excuses.

Welp, we'll certainly have to look at those fiscal results closer because if the remas/ke can't come close to Origami King in terms of sell, I think it'll be obvious that we shall not expect them to go back to the classic formula anytime soon
