If Nintendo remakes Paper Mario 1, what are the odds that they turn the charming characters into their generic versions?

[AuthenticM]

I would very much like a remake of Paper Mario 1 or The Thousand-Year Door (I'd take both, tbh). If it ever were to happen though... would Nintendo dare to take the individualized mushroom kingdom characters and revert them back into their generic versions? What are the odds that they would do that? And how would it make you feel? Personally, it would make me very angry.

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

What? Literally zero percent.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Zero percent........................

 

[Mekanos]

I'd say it's as likely as them remaking Paper Mario.

 

[Deleted member 5491]

I don't think they would change them into their generics. Espacially because the firstz two games are full of unique looking charakters

 

[Terrysaur]

I see the Paper Mario hate-boner gang has been awoken once again by the announcement of The Origami King...

 

[diakyu]

We already know they wouldn't look at the M&L remakes.

 

[SalvaPot]

I mean, Origami King has origami versions of characters.

 

[mopinks]

Paper Mario 64 only has one charming character

 

[Biske]

They remade super star saga and didn't butcher it like that. Why would they

 

[Lusamine]

Can we try to not be stupid?

 

[Deleted member 3093]

I mean, I don't think they'd go that far, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a little more generic, like how Nintendo did with Mario & Luigi.

Is this pandemic that boring that you have to make up a scenario to get mad at?

 

[Deleted member 873]

The reactionary thread... Lmao.

 

[Regulus Tera]

I think the best way to figure this out is look into the Superstar Saga remake.

 

[Jeenaud]

Why does everyone these days have to be overly pessimistic about everything? It's really depressing.

C'mon guy!

Yes.

Nintendo will also break into our homes and steal the original version of the game.

God, this is gonna be insufferable.

...this thread just welcomes drive-by-posts.

And it deserves it.

This is stupid. Sorry OP.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Watt?

 

[TyraZaurus]

At this point y'all are spreading salt for the sake of salt.

 

[Jahranimo]

Wtf is wrong with some of y'all Paper Mario fans....of course they wouldn't change the characters.

 

[udivision]

Impossible.

They couldn't be that tone-deaf.

 

[POE_001]

Zero %

 

[somerandomweirdguy]

Shit thread OP. People have LITERALLY ZERO right to be upset about Nintendo adamantly refusing to allow party mates with mildly interesting designs.

Smh the entitlement is off the charts

 

[Zoantharia]

110% OP. On a side note Miyamoto took my wife and kids

 

[Kneefoil]

I don't think they'd do it to any of the party members, but I can totally see them make some NPCs and enemies more generic like they did in the Mario & Luigi remakes. I mean, well, those were AlphaDream games, but even if Nintendo didn't ask for it (or maybe they did, who knows), they at the very least didn't mind such shortcuts being taken. Same could happen to Paper Mario.

Lol. This is basically Era's motto.

This garbage is so annoying. Please stop

 

[Mentok]

I'm upset by this thread... I think I'm going to make a thread posting how upset I am by this thread and maybe include a poll asking if I'm being original or not...

Seriously, what's with all the knee-jerk threads lately?

 

[Glio]

A cap and a different color does not make a character charming for me.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Characters are just functions

 

[Menx64]

It is more work to replace them than just port it. Come on OP!

 

[The Unsent]

There might be something lost in translation like some HD remakes but it's unlikely they would go that far.

Paper Mario fans are really going for the Most Insufferable Fanbase gold, huh

what's the chance that nintendo will remake mario 64 but it will actually have the gameplay of yoshi's safari

Will never get close to NatDexers.

 

[Rogue Agent]

Why didn't you show that toad character at the end who looked different?

 

[Kinsei]

I mean some of the original enemies and NPCs from Superstar Saga were changed to be more generic. I could see the same happening to PM.

 

[Deleted member 18021]

About as likely as Square wanting to make SMRPG2.

Nope. That's Pokémon fans by 10 miles

Yeah, that's where I'm at. I don't think they'd do it for major characters, but I could see some unique enemies and NPCs changing.

 

[TheIdiot]

The overall Paper Mario announcement reception on Era has been disappointing. I gotta say that the internet sucks the fun out of gaming way too often.

Yeah. The likes of Goombario, Lady Bow, Kooper, etc would be safe but someone like Kent C Koopa would probably just be a regular Koopa but really big.

 

[Brazil]

If they ever remade Paper Mario, they definitely wouldn't change the characters.

I don't think it'll happen, though. How often do they remake Mario games? The M&L remakes seem to only have happened because AlphaDream was already in a rough position.

If you need everyone to like the things you like to derive fun out of them, you won't have a lot of fun, yes.

 

[entremet]

Doubtful. The Superstar Saga stuff were barely characters. The PM1/2 crew were dedicated side characters with tons of dialogue.

Also what made these characters special was never their designs (although it was cool). This myopic focus on the designs really sells short what made those character appealing.
