I know I'm preaching to the crowd here, but I think few games are as soulful as the original Paper Mario trilogy. I hope 64 and SPM can get remakes of as phenomenal quality as TTYD did. Apropos to nothing except the fact that I saw your Tippi and Bleck post on Twitter, haha.

oh yeah, completely awesome games. tbh though even if it would be a dream come true I’m skeptical we’ll get remakes of the other two any time soon… I’d settle for at least a rerelease on a virtual console situation for spm. that would make me very happy. unfortunately as you probably know ttyd is MUCH more universally beloved, although spm has definitely gotten an increase in respect over the years thanks to hindsight and nostalgia people were pretty down on it for a while. much as I hate to admit it ttyd is also just…… a better game…… mechanically, anyway (no bias here, I love both rpgs and platformers and spm is actually a lot closer to my heart than ttyd). ideal scenario would be a spm remake that overhauls the gameplay a bit, maybe makes it a little more complex, and also either gets rid of the really annoying bits or makes them optional. I’d love even more to see a brand new version of spm with the exact same writing but similar gameplay to ttyd, but that seems like a bit much to ask lol. as it stands though it’s a bit of a black sheep and I can’t envision nintendo giving it the same treatment as ttyd, but I can dream….. maybe, just maybe, someone up the ladder will see how the love for it has grown and think there’s a market for it
