Fans of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door could be in for a treat as Nintendo has said that they could be open to a remaster of the beloved title. The news came in a video courtesy of GameXplain who had the opportunity to interview Risa Tabata, the Assistant Director behind Paper Mario: Color Splash. Here’s what was said during the interview.
GameXplain: As Andre touched on earlier, the game looks fantastic. Have you considered the idea of remastering an older Paper Mario game in high definition, like The Thousand-Year Door?
Risa Tabata: If we made one, would you buy it?
GameXplain: Absolutely!
Risa Tabata: I think if we hear that a lot, then we’ll have something to think about.
Thanks to those who sent this in.
oh dear…that throws my project int eh dungeon
how about they remaster metroid 2 a game that actually needs a remaster oh no never mind AM2R is better anyway
I’ll be vocal!
I just hope they don’t use the same Toad models over and over.
I personally didn’t mind that, but I could see why the fans were upset by it.
You can’t be Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door if you replace the toad variants with the same model.
I hope the sales would reflect how much better Paper Mario is with the story and partners.
hey, this gets me curious…what about a 4 player remaster? Like have mario, luigi, wario and waluigi? Just asking, don’t bite my head off…
Err, 4 Player Remaster?
It’s… an Rpg, how does that work?
maybe as its own mario/paper mario title, an 4 player rpg is possible (la Dragon Quest I think) But with TTYD? It wouldn’t make sense…..like at all
The thought of them making this hurts my wallet. I might need to buy 2 copies just to show my support/appreciation. I thinks lot of this fanbase were younger when TTYD and 64 were released and a lot of people rented games. Hopefully this time around everyone who raves about the game would go buy it if it should get a remaster.
I adore The Thousand Year Door to pieces. Probably beat it 6 times and I’m still not tired of it.
Same. When I want my Paper Mario fix I often go to beat TTYD, then 64 next time and keep alternating between the two to mix it up but TTYD is easily the best in the series for me.
I’LL BUY 7
If I didn’t already have it, I’d be like “yes remaster please”
The N64 Paper Mario game should be remastered first. It’s textures are pretty terrible on HD up-scaling.
The N64 Paper Mario game and 1000 Year door GC game could be built on the same engine, as both games are essentially the same mechanics. Just make the world a little more seamless.
I will say however that 1000 year door is probably where the Paper Mario series peaked and then started to move in a direction (both art-wise and gameplay-wise) that fans aren’t so keen on. I like Super Paper Mario for what it is, but I hated the art direction on it, as it seemed more lazy and repetitive than necessary. Then for some reason Nintendo decided to put every Mario RPG title on the handheld title, seemingly to avoid creating huge worlds to explore.
YO
If they do remaster it, I hope that they give it the Wind Waker HD treatment where they actually fixed/improved a few areas of the game (the Triforce quest for example).
YAS!! Let’s have a redux of The Thousand Year Door! The first was was awesome! I’m all for it!…. No card battle system please.
This is our calling, guys!
The only good thing that came out of Sticker Star was the amazing graphics. The best possible Paper Mario at this point would be the first two remade with Sticker Star/Color Splash graphics.
Spread the word! Sign the petition!
It probably won’t help at all, but I don’t care! I would gladly pay for a TTYD remaster (or a remaster of the N64 original).
How much more vocal can we be!?
ALL OVER MY BODY.
Oh yes, please do give us TTYD remastered! As someone who’s never played it, I’d love to be able to play it, especially if we get an NX remaster. That’d look amazing! People have said that game is awesome so I’d be all for playing it in a remastered form!
IF FANS ARE VOCAL?!? HOW HAVE WE NOT BEEN VOCAL?!? This angers me greatly, $%^& Them!!!
Hey, Id’ be down. But I’m not sure that is a game that would benefit much from remastering. It’s already pretty great the way it is. Just make it available for fans to buy on the NX Virtual Console assuming tha’ts a thing
Yes – yes please, I would quite enjoy the opportunity to play this in much more touched up detail!
I created a thunderclap, sign it if you want this!

They should just let third parties remaster games (with quality approval) anything from GameCube down, even DS down to game boy. Then just slit profits.
The only paper Mario I like is the on on Wii, which was enough to make me buy Sticker Star. Big mistake.
Fuse it With Paper Mario 1 and make it an extra long game Ill pay 100% for a special editiong maybe more @.@
I will see it when I believe it. At least Crapcom fulfilled their promise on the HD Resident Evil remasters.
Haven’t PM fans been vocal about this for, I dunno, at least 6 years already?
I see selective listening runs strongly in this company.
WE’RE VOCAL
NOW DO IT
I can’t believe they even need to ask if people would buy that. Not like people have been screaming for this exact thing for a friggin’ decade.
o shit. be vocal.
Remaster both first Paper Mario games as one game like how Square Enix did the HD remasters of Final Fantasy X & X-2! I also want an HD remaster of Baten Kaitos 1 & 2 and of Eternal Darkness! Now quit being so selective with your god damn hearing, Nintendo, and do it! Oh & if you can, get the devs who own Battle Zone to remake Rise of the Black Dogs! Fund it yourself if you have to! Hm. Maybe an HD remaster of Aidyn Chronicles from the N64. Of course, you’ll have to talk to the guys that own that game, too. I never got to beat it & I loved the story! *tries to think if I’m missing anything else from N64 & GCN*
I wouldn’t mind another HD GameCube game to add to the collection, but I’d also rather see an entire sequel that stays faithful to the first two games.
Sounds great and all. But it’s not really the kind of game I care about playing through again just to see better graphics.
i didnt catch the joke (lmfao)
I would Love A remastered version!! :3 It is my favorite out of all the Paper Mario games!
I feel sad for the original Paper Mario. It never gets any love. I remember LOVING that game!
Not alone there. That game defined my childhood.

Hopefully if this happens, sales will encourage the definitive sequel fans have wanted all along.
And I will say for the record, this is my favorite game of all time. I don’t own a Wii U currently, however I will buy a Wii U outright if this game is made.
Too bad a good amount of people have proven themselves undeserving of anything that’s even remotely similar to TTYD.
Yeah, id obviously buy a copy for EVERY console it releases for! I can beat it another few times!!
also, can Nintendo make a sequel remotely similar to the first two Paper Mario games? that would be great for a ton off people…
Yes, i would obviously buy it. Yes, (more than) enough people would buy it. I just wanna play a Paper Mario game like the first two releases for gods sake, nothing like the ones after. Super Paper Mario was fine, but not half as good as the first two. Paper jam, color splash and sticker weren’t remotely good…
