The Thousand-Year Door “Our Story Begins” trailer

Nintendo just dropped a new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door trailer, dubbed “Our Story Begins”. The video gives some background information about the events that lead to the start of the game.

As a reminder, here’s what to expect from the remake:

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!

Twenty years after the original game on the Nintendo GameCube system, this version for the Nintendo Switch™ system has revamped graphics, and a suite of additional changes that make the game easier than ever to enjoy.
