Not so much.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Super Paper Mario: <\/strong>This 2007 Wii title tried to tilt the Paper Mario franchise back towards its platformer roots, and the results are mixed. This one is fun, but may be lacking for RPG fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper Mario: Sticker Star: <\/strong>The 3DS had a number of Hall of Fame caliber games. This 2012 entry into the Paper Mario franchise is not one of them. Somehow both overly simple and annoyingly complicated at the same time, this is the beginning of the \u201ckiddie\u201d era of Paper Mario games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper Mario: Color Splash: <\/strong>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nintendo-officially-finished-one-worst-systems-ever-wii-u-retrospective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wii U<\/a> is arguably one of Nintendo\u2019s worst systems ever, but \u201cColor Splash\u201d was a welcome bounce back from \u201cSticker Star.\u201d While still overly simple to a fault, \u201cColor Splash\u201d is good fun for young kids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Paper Mario: The Origami King: <\/strong>The Nintendo Switch has been a veritable smashing success by virtually any metric, but that doesn\u2019t mean all of its games are perfect. \u201cOrigami King\u201d is, again, overly simple, but is easily the strongest of the \u201ckiddie\u201d Paper Mario games. It still pales in comparison to the first two.<\/p>\n<p>Given that, nobody is especially clamoring for those four games to come back, but the same can\u2019t be said about \u201cThousand-Year Door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the original \u201cPaper Mario\u201d is readily available due to the ease of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/apple-adjusts-policy-first-nintendo-emulator-goes-mainstream-good-thing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">N64 emulation<\/a> and multiple options to play it on various modern Nintendo systems, the same cannot be said about \u201cThousand-Year Door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Well for fans of that GameCube hit, they were hit with a heaping bit of good news when Nintendo announced a modern remaster of \u201cThousand-Year Door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door \u2013 Overview Trailer \u2013 Nintendo Switch\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gCV-uTRULn8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>No longer stranded on the GameCube, the upcoming remaster of \u201cPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door\u201d would be a fantastic introduction to the franchise for anyone who owns a Switch.<\/p>\n<p>The game will be $59.99 and will be available on the Nintendo Switch come May 23, 2024.<\/p>\n<div id=\"author-info-44778\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/bchai\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<div>\n<p><label for=\"summary-tab-radio-44778\">Summary<\/label><label for=\"more-info-tab-radio-44778\">More<span> Biographical Information<\/span><\/label><label for=\"posts-tab-radio-44778\">Recent<span> Posts<\/span><\/label><label for=\"contact-tab-radio-44778\" onclick=\"if( typeof grecaptcha=='undefined' ) { let cap_s=document.createElement( 'script' ); cap_s.src='https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api.js?render=6LeJFcsUAAAAAPsIEqvB1EebWbZfqRUe6ebMpGy7'; document.body.appendChild( cap_s ); }\">Contact<\/label><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Bryan Chai has written news and sports for The Western Journal for more than five years and has produced more than 1,300 stories.
