10 Obvious Video Game Remakes The Industry Is Ignoring
6. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Every time a new Nintendo system is released, fans are eager to get their hands on the latest Mario. So, when Super Mario Sunshine was announced for the Gamecube, we got hyped.
But to everyone's surprise, Sunshine's thunder was stolen by its spin-off, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This role-player was heavily praised for its inventive combat mechanics, detailed environments, and beautiful visuals.
However, the main reason this sequel stands out is because it's REALLY funny. Although Super Mario always had a pleasant sense of humour, The Thousand-Year Door is crammed with comedy gold.
Because of how well this title turned out, gamers hoped Paper Mario would be the next Nintendo spin-off to take off, much like Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros.
Sadly, every follow-up since failed to measure up. Because the RPG series hasn't churned out anything decent since...well... The Thousand-Year Door, now would be ideal to remake it or, at the very least, give it a remaster.
Not only would a remake be a perfect way to revisit this classic, it would give the Paper Mario name the boost it so desperately needs.
