Nintendo made a series of announcements a few hours ago, starting with the release date of the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake. The game will be available via Nintendo Switch starting May 23, priced at $59.99.
Twenty years after the original game launched on Nintendo GameCube, fans will be able to return to this peculiar roleplaying game. Here's the official overview:
The nefarious X-Nauts are after the treasure behind the Thousand-Year Door! With a map from Princess Peach and the help of a few locals, Mario journeys through a colorful world made of paper to find them first. To prevail in this quest, you’ll have to level up Mario and his friends, master timing-based attacks and badges to impress the audience on the stage of combat and make use of all the abilities that come with being cursed—er, conveniently made of paper—like folding into a plane to cross big gaps or turning sideways to slip through narrow openings.
Surprises abound in this deep and engaging tale, where everyone’s got something to say and it’s often not what you’d expect. Mario will meet all kinds of interesting folks on his journey, like the upbeat and studious Goombella and the shy but determined Koops. Some of these characters will need your help with their own quests or even join your party. Others, like Peach and Bowser, have stories of their own that you’ll play between Mario’s chapters!
Nintendo also revealed that the remaster Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (originally released in 2013 as Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on the Nintendo 3DS) will launch for the Nintendo Switch console on June 27, also priced at $59.99. This action/adventure game also allows up to four players to band together either locally or online to take on the challenges of the ScareScraper, a haunted building teeming with ghosts and challenges not found in the main adventure.
