This is what happens when a company has good retention and still has people on that witnessed the down eras. Lessons are learned.
Although it shares a name and similar premise, this is distinct from the original NES cartridge. The original version wasn't really a fully fledged game, but rather a sort of contest where players would submit their scores to participate in the actual live event.
Cool
I agree with you. Originally it just seemed like a very Apples to Oranges comparison.
No more saying I'm not a fan of how both Xbox and PS5 first party games are being handled....like its to me a joke
The entire AAA industry needs to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, not just PlayStation and Xbox. The constant push of nothing but high production AAA releases and live services is figuratively killing them. It’s no longer as sustainable as it was in the 7th and 8th generations. Nintendo is the only one that foresaw this and even they’re expecting a turn during the Switch 2 cycle when they talked about their own development times increasing. There’s a reason why Nintendo is the only console manufacturer not talking about bringing their games to PC or even other consoles: they don’t need to. It’s incredible that we can potentially reach a point where all you’ll need as a gamer to play everything is a PC and a Nintendo console. Even right now with my Steam Deck I can get Spider-Man Remastered, God of War, Last of Us Part 1, The Master Chief Collection, and hopefully Indiana Jones and The Great Circle later this year (the catalyst for me wanting a second console). It’s insane.
This is mostly just sticking to the original Japanese dialogue from what I understand. She has been a trans character in other regions since the Gamecube era, and they're finally re-adding that to the localized versions. I love it personally. Vivian was one of the very first Transgender characters I experienced in media as a kid in the 2000s, and she's portrayed in a really lovely way I think. Very positive and usual within the world itself. I'm excited for a new generation to hopefully grow up with TTYD!I hope this conversation can remain civil so here goes:

The Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door marks the first time Vivian has been written as a transgender woman in English versions of the game.www.ign.com
I’m honestly surprised they did this if only for the fact that Nintendo is known to not really delve into any real world issues and just focuses on marketing and making games. In a way though this perfectly fits their MO. There was no marketing that mentioned this at all and people are only finding out about it now that they have the game. Just my opinion but I feel this is how you handle these things. You just treat it like it’s a normal thing not needing any huge fanfare.
Yes I was aware of the original story and other versions I was just surprised they actually went through with using the remake to bring that aspect over. One change they seem to have done from the original Japanese as I understand is toning down the misgendering which even Goombella took part in not just Vivian’s sisters. IMO it would’ve been fine if they kept the original dialogue from her sisters. They’re villains after all. I have the same view on the catcalling that was removed. Let villains be villains.
