My feeling when playing Mario RPG on Switch was that it was still a really fun game, but I would have been about as happy just replaying the original. Kind of getting the same vibe from this one.

A bit odd that they had two remakes of Mario RPG titles so close to one another. Maybe Switch 2 will have a new Mario RPG/Classic Paper Mario title at launch?

It's funny to me that the Mario RPG most due and most likely for a remake (Paper Mario) hasn't gotten one.

Super Mario RPG was a pipe dream because of Square Enix and Nintendo needing to work together and that it's a standalone game. But it has already happened. 

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door now has a remake instead of a mere remaster like we expected.

Even though you can play the original on NSO Expansion Pack, I'm sure Nintendo is eagerly watching TTYD sales to gauge if they want to remake the original. 

A remake of the OG in the next 2-3 years seems like good business. It would surely be in the same graphical and gameplay engine as the TTYD Remake as a remake of the original would almost surely be similar in appearance and HUD to TTYD.

And a remake of the original would score very well in reception, as it is a beloved game and Nintendo can't screw it up. 

I'm eager to play TTYD's remake and it will almost surely be a 10/10 to me just like I remember on the 'Cube. 

I think the original doesn't hold up quite as well as TTYD and would probably require a bit more extensive rejiggering. So, probably made more sense to work on TTYD first, then they could build on that foundation.
