Because we have a thread on the Mario RPG remake and it feels about as warranted.
Absolutely love this goddamn game so having both it and SMRPG getting some love and being portable is incredible to me. Really curious what regional changes will be sticking and what won't; TEC was red in it so that's at least one indication of something from the Japanese version staying, though guessing they're still going to cut the Toad murder scene. Boo sisters I could see going either way.

The dirty room in Rogueport had a chalk outline of a Toad and a pool of blood in it. And the Boo sisters were dressed as bunnies instead of cats. There are a bunch of other changes too - tcrf.net/Paper_Mario:_The_Thousand-Year_Door/Regional_Differences

I'm really happy to see this get re-released, in part because like the other recent HD ports this will bring down the value of the Gamecube's library, which is insanely expensive compared to PS2/Xbox.

They got rid of the Fire Emblem fan Toad kid. Whole thing's ruined.

They got rid of the Fire Emblem fan Toad kid. Whole thing's ruined. He quietly retired, his job done. Back in the GameCube days, Fire Emblem wasn't as popular worldwide as it is now. So now he's resting at home playing "Heroes".

I wonder if they'll fix Madame Flurrie and make her more useful.

I'd like it if they add in Luigi's misadventures that he had with his own party members as bonus levels.

Absolutely the best Paper Mario game... and honestly the only one that I consider exceptional.
I could see the Boos remaining Cats, it got the point across but didn't potentially break any copyright >_>
Am interested to see how they handle Vivian, if she is just considered ugly by her sisters or if they keep her as trans... though they'd likely have to change some of the wording there too as from what I remember the international version refer to Vivian as a boy that pretends to be a girl...

Most international versions just dropped all reference to it, though a few kept the Vivian being trans thing. And yeah, there was kind of a lot of misgendering going on, including offhand from Goombella at one point. I'm kind of mixed in that I'd like them to bring it up, but I would like them to write out those specific parts, but I'm also not really sure how it'd naturally come up without that. There's a fan mod of TTYD that reworks some aspects of the script that manages to work it in in passing but it does read as rather clunky.

Thought the most recent direct would've announced the release date for it.

Thought the most recent direct would've announced the release date for it. Well that was a Partner Showcase. Current speculation says we’ll get n actual Direct in April, which if true is likely when we’ll see the last major push for titles on the current Switch.

Unless they’ve got something big in their back pocket for holiday season, I could see either TYD or Luigi’s Mansion getting pushed from summer to fall/early winter. Switch 2 getting pushed to spring 2025 leaves a big f***ing hole in the back half of their 2024 schedule.

By all accounts they've been sitting on Wind Waker and Twilight Princess for a long time, and wouldn't shock me if they plug a gap by doing a reissue of 3D All-Stars and maybe also doing a second one with Galaxy 2, 3D Land, and 64 DS. Plus there's always Pokemon, Metroid Prime 4 is possible, and there've also been a lot of rumors that Genealogy of the Holy War's been finished for quite awhile. It'll definitely be a slower year than last year but they have options.
