THE TRAILERS ARE BEGINNING. THE FINAL STRETCH IS NEARLY UPON US

I never thought I could miss seeing someone say “Ahem!” so much until this moment

The fact that a city was violently destroyed and thousands of people lost their lives to fire, lightning, and floods at once is being show to lullaby music. Dang, I love Paper Mario!

Man, the fact they're emphasizing the story aspect of this game so much means they HAVE to know how long we've been longing, how much this game deserves the love and respect it is getting.

The fact that the entire intro is animated like a pop-up book! They didn't have to do that, but I'm so glad they did! And that music! Ugh, so many chills and memories washing over me!

Usually Nintendo just posts like various gameplay whenever they are doing these trailers, but with Thousand Year Door they posted the intro and people still got hyped. Lol THEY KNOW.

The 1000 year door will soon be open...once more. Your journey begins now.

Pre-orders are selling like hot cakes. It makes me happy to see this game reintroduced to a new generation.

IT'S FULLY ANIMATED!

The fact that the developers of the game FULLY ANIMATED the story instead of just keeping it to turning the pages shows how above and beyond they're going with it. I can't wait two months, but I gotta! ;v;

This is just like Mario vs Donkey Kong because the latter and this game each has picture frames back in 2004. 20 years later, they finally got to animate the cutscenes of Mario vs Donkey Kong and this intro of TTYD. It's crazy how 20 years flew by. It feels like my childhood has been revived.

I have never cried over a video game trailer as much as i have over this one. I remember growing up poor and my dad still managing to buy me a GameCube and this game so much nostalgia plus i can finally read and understand it now

Paper Mario fans have finally gotten a victory.

Bro...😢 They actually freaking animated the whole opening...that's so awesome! 😊

The sound effects, my god, it's beautiful. I can't get enough of the book opening sound effect at 0:12

I hope Nintendo knows that now we all want a physical copy of this book

I can’t believe Nintendo is still allowing a noose in the town square of a Mario game in the year 2024. I’m not complaining, I’m just sort of surprised.

When you actually think about it... The pipe that leads to Rougeport Sewer is probably just a drainpipe from the previous city structure

One month left until this masterpiece gets a new shine in the spotlight.

I started tearing up from the moment the camera panned into the first image of the old castle. My heart is so full from this beautiful rendition of the intro!!! Also, brilliant choice of orchestrating the melody as a bassoon solo at 0:55 👏👏🤧🤧

Never clicked on something faster

Goosebumps all over. This literally jolts me into my body when I was just a young child. The house I grew up in, the family happy before divorce. All things were right. This game is it for me. I could be on my death bed and play through this one time and pass on with a smile. Such a masterpiece, and I am thankful for experiencing it when it came out in the early 2000s.

When I played this game for the first time, I couldn't put it down. I ended up staying up all night to play through it, even though it was a school day. This game holds a special place in my heart.

I can hear all the UKpostsrs scream at the Nintendo Direct reaction when this happened

Thank god they kept the noose in lmao

Genuinely surreal seeing a classic Paper Mario game with the same high quality presentation as the newer games. Absolutely glorious.

This gave me chills. RIP Tyler. Wish you could have been here to see

My absolute favorite paper mario game!!!! I cant wait!!!!! Maybe they will try to give us the original paper mario too someday

Video game remakes are so high definition, that it's just looks beautiful...

This is literally my favorite game ever. My father died last week and I have been playing Paper Mario TTYD again to keep myself from thinking about him. I can’t wait for the remake to drop on May 23rd

The attention to detail with the paper aesthetics in the animations is just so fantastic, the whole intro got such a glow up and its so great to finally see this game get reconigsed again after all this time as its one of the best ever made. May 23 cant come soon enough

I never would have expected they would animate the opening of the game from the book. I wonder what other changes they have done besides this. Please let us have a side story adventure from Luigi’s perspective. Please!

Oh hey they kept the noose

Omg the fact that it’s a fully animated cutscene instead of just being still pages of the book, I was excited to hear the music alone but they exceeded my expectations with this! Can’t wait to play one of my favorite games all over again 💜

*cute, peaceful, playful music * *many people died it was very tragic.*

Ahem! Today I'm going to tell you the story of the Paper Mario series. An awfully long time ago... In an era of innovation and ambition, a beautiful game called Paper Mario was created, with an endearing world, characters, and brilliant battle system. It was soon followed by a sequel-- Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, a critically acclaimed success that built on the original in every way. And though the third entry was quite different, it still had the heart of the first two, and was also quite adored by many. But one day, tragedy befell this blessed series. A wicked curse struck all the characters, turning them into generic toads. All experience points were spirited away into the ether, and cursed stickers rained down from the sky, making anything they touched bland and boring. It was as if the very series had come to a violent end. And in but a single night... The series sank into an ocean of paint. Many moons rose and set... Stories of the original games and how good they are were met with ingorant accusations of nostalgia blindness... And when the next generation of children no longer knew how great the first two games were... A new game suddenly unfolded like a pop-up book. But word soon spread among those who played it... That an ancient relic of the past, the roots of the series, lie somewhere, just waiting to be uncovered in this new generation. And that a remake could one day breathe new life into these beloved titles. Indeed... This is the tale of the fabled Paper Mario games of old. Yes, this is where it begins, in the sea town of Rogueport. The tale of the quest for the legendary title... Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door... starts here.

Nothing like just uploading the opening cutscene and literally nothing else to have an easy trailer…and I watched it…and loved it…

This made me cry. The love and passion de developers are putting in this game makes me so happy❤

This HAS to sell well, guys. If it doesn't, we likely won't get another Paper Mario game like this ever again.

The sound effects are honestly really nice, and enhance the scene. I hope they keep the wind and seagull sound effects around Rogueport in the actual game

I started crying, not only hearing the opening music but having the entire intro animated touched my childhood so much. I am the happiest man in the world right now. I can't wait to play my favorite game of all time again.

The fact that the intro was fully animated instead of just pictures was truly amazing! And the intro remix was so good!

This intro has got to be one of the biggest improvements of all time

Girl stop I'm like legit tearing up right now. 😢😢 this was a game I grew up on and when I tell you the literal scream the NANOSECOND I saw that iconic storybook it was enough to wake the dead. I ENVY people who get to experience this game for the first time. Oy I'm so glad I've lived long enough to see this game shine in the spotlight once again

Very, very, very few songs can manage to get me teary-eyed within the first handful of notes.

Love the new detailed intro that actually shows the cataclysm that befell the ancient city.

I never played this game growing up, so I can only imagine how indescribably amazing it must be to see such a precious game brought to life again…

PLEASE buy this game and show Nintendo the kind of Paper Mario game we WANT

I really hope this game does well. I'd really like to see Paper Mario return to form, especially with the seeming death of Mario & Luigi.

This Game better break some Records, so Nintendo gets the Idea of reviving another Mario RPG Series

I adore the mario RPGs. I played through the Mario & Luigi games so many times but always stayed away from the newer paper mario games because I've heard bad things about them. This however is the one I've always wanted to try but couldn't because it's been almost impossible to come across. Thank you for remaking this game.

Dear Nintendo, this is what I have been wanting from Paper Mario for the last 20 years. The last three to four Paper Mario games released never stepped a toe outside of this games shadow. Please return this series to this style of game.

I am so happy that Nintendo is remaking this game and that so many new people will have the opportunity to experience this amazing game. Thank you, Nintendo!

One of the only games my mother played with me as a child. It holds an extremely important place in my heart.

I got chills and I'm near to crying, the remade soundtrack is going to be legendary

i wish they would include the first one remastered as a surprise D;

This is an amazing recreation of the intro cutscene and I can't believe that it's fully animated too, I'm just still so glad that my favorite game of all time is being remade!

Never once did I even consider them animating the intro. That was absolutely fantastic. Dare I say that I kinda prefer this version of the music over the original too? This is coming from a huge fan of the original but the additional and more detailed instruments with the more convincing music box tune is phenomenal.

Wow! This new version of the intro story looks so magnificent!!

I will finally be able to play this masterpiece myself. I'm looking forward to it immensely.

THE MUSIC IS SO BEAUTIFUL OMG

It’s beautiful! Animating the opening, I’ve never been happier to see something I’ve seen a thousand times before.

bro why does this look so clean?

The storybook coming to life is such a refreshing change, not to mention the music! I’m so excited for one of my favorite games of all time not just for me, but also for my friends who’ve never played the original

THIS. This alone shows us that the devs are going above and beyond to make this remake perfect.

I never got the chance to play this as a kid, now I can with my switch. I’m definitely going to preorder this one!

Finally i can relive this game all over again

I still can't believe this, one of my first childhood games and one of the best paper mario games. I can't wait to play this again

I hate to sound corny but the intro song always stirs some emotions in me and seeing this beautiful rendition paired with a fully animated version of the story made me cry a little. It's even more amazing than how I remembered it.

They actually went the extra mile and fully animated it, i-i can't believe it! Thanks devs!

This game is going to break records. P.S. Nintendo, thanks for listening to us

The thousand year wait has ended

Now THIS is a great use of the "paper aesthetic": to support great storytelling! If this is kept throughout the game, it could be the BEST remake treatment a game gets!

jeez fully animating the pages instead of going for the usual not animating like the original. man this remake is going to be awesome.

It is still unreal to me that we are even getting a Thousand-Year Door remake at all. I’ve been looking forward to seeing the intro ever since the first reveal trailer, but this absolutely blew me away. The added cinematics are actually perfect, I don’t know how they could’ve done this better. And the MUSIC UGH

The combination of the music and this story of a land falling into legend still brings tears to my eyes every time. I love ttyd so so much

Thank you Nintendo for listening to your fans again….

This game is just pure gold. The fact that the remake is about to come out is just platinum! This is such a win for Nintendo!

I am genuinely saying this is the hypest I've been for a game ever

Just seeing that cutscene makes ecstatic to see what else is in store. I always felt the amount of care that goes into the Paper Mario games, and that’s why it’s one of my favorite Nintendo franchises. Never played this yet, but I’m thrilled that I’ll have the opportunity.

Those arpeggios in the opening throw me back and give me chills. I just want to listen to this over and over again.

Nothing will ever overshadow the memories I have of my first days of gaming. Those nights spent at my bros GameCube playing this and never beating it. I've seen the ending and seen him beat it, but now I have some unfinished business, stars to collect, treasure to find, and a princess to save. Oh... and a legendary door to open....

I'm so happy that Nintendo brought back this masterpiece I can't wait to play it

First, The Super Mario RPG remake But now this, Damn!, Nintendo is been treating its employees like the Heart of Gold ever since Super Mario Bros. became a pop culture sensation since 1985

I absolutely adore that they animated the town being destroyed after the book opens. It's a really nice way to honor the spirit and illustrations of the book while at the same time showing them doing something different with it by animating the entire story. Really great work guys. I'm very excited for what else is to come with this remake.

This intro is already showing just how much effort the Paper Mario team is putting into this remake. I hope this game can become the blueprint for future Paper Mario games.

Nice revision to the intro, I remember the original was motionless.

I really love how enhanced this is. I know it's gonna be one of my favorite Switch titles.

1:39 they kept the thing!

Yeah the time has come, the moment for thousand-years door to shine!!

Been replaying this game recently until the remake comes out. So hyped for this game

Still can't believe this is real

I love how the intro has an old Fairy Tale story color palette theme to suit the story being told of a ancient tale

I like how they are keeping the paper theme. A lot people complained that paper Mario leaned too far into the fact that everything was made of paper, but I always liked it. It gave the series a bit more separation from regular old Mario.

The amount of care and attention they are putting into this remake is incredible. I can't wait for it.

I got chills watching this, is so well done and I love how they kept the old dialog but completely animated the intro. Chefs kiss.

I waited 20 years for this moment, and Nintendo has absolutely delivered! 😭 I'm definitely playing this game frame one!

I just love how this version of the intro makes it feel more visual and easier to understand. When I was still playing the GameCube version, there was some stuff I didn’t know about. If you’re getting this game, then it’s a 100% top choice for all RPG players out there.

Now that's remake quality 😭😭

Man that opening music gets me EVERYTIME.😊
