Super Paper Mario, too. Although all it really needs is better textures and you can already do that on PC anyway. Always felt that game was underrated I played it on Wii years ago and loved it
I think some of the levels could be reworked but otherwise I think the game stood the test of time just fine.
All the references surrounding Francis (the chameleon geek) actually just got more relevant over time.

To my understanding, Vivian remains a boy.
But instead of an otokonoko, he seems to be more of an okama with the whole "girl's heart" thing, in a similar fashion of Fastiva in Granblue Fantasy (the bearded guy in third pic above) or the ones popping up in the famous manga One Piece. Also I assume the Japanese line and the screenshot in English (the second thumbnail above) are from the same dialogue as I wouldn't be surprised again that English localizers still refuse to faithfully translate.

This post is informative, for those wondering what appears to have happened.
 
This one kinda hurts vivian was one of my favorite partners as a kid in this game. I was planning to go back to it but it still kinda sucks to know they are forcing this in.
The main source of controversy from this remake stems from the fact Nintendo just made every English player who had a crush on Vivian in their youth retroactively gay.
 
If it's not that big of a deal, it shouldn't bother them if anyone says they won't buy it because of it.
 
They say the same thing abt Partner in Time, but that didn't stop Nintendo from skipping it, keep coping. Facts don't care about your feefees.
Who the hell said Partners in Time is the best game on the franchise? It often ranks third or forth on polls just behind Superstar Saga and Inside Story. You're fucking retarded.
 
Oh wow you mean the small indie team's first video game doesn't look up to snuff with hugely profitable corporation's art quality? Say it ain't so! Don't forget the cuphead devs had to mortgage their homes and suckle from Microsoft's teat to get their game to look the way it does, every indie game simply MUST look better than AAA just because Hades did.

Also I know for a fact I can do better than those devs atleast in the HUD department, the whole game looks like it was made in MsPaint.

You don't have to make the game look like the next RDR2, if it atleast looks good enough then that's fine. The autism simulator Omori and Stardew Valley were both made by small teams and they both look better than this garbage.
Hell even Minecraft when the only dude making it was a fedora wearing neckboard looked better than this since its Alpha stage.

That's my point bozo, the first Paper Mario ranks behind TTYD to most peeps, but keep convincing yourself otherwise if it can help you sleep at night.

Does this look good to you?

I feel bad for you if you think it does. The HUD alone screams graphic design is my passion.

It does literally everything like Paper Mario, but worse and the only people who care to play it are furfags.
I think it looks perfectly adequate. Not amazing but it conveys exactly what it intends to. I'll take it over a grossly overdesigned hud any day. But that's not really what this thread is about, so let's just leave it at that.
 
Top 10 Indies:
1. Jamaica
2. Trini
3. Dominica
4. USVI
5. Barbados
6. Bahamas
7. Endnight Games
8. Haiti
9. Toby Fox (Undertale guy)
10. Turks and Caicos
To many black people in the Western Indies. In the case of the Haiti remake they literally erased all the white people entire and replaced them with "diverse" characters.

East Indies is where it's at
 
. The sleaziness of an unfaithful translation is indicative of all the qualms people have with translators right now.
I remember all the Nintendrones justifying the watered down script because "it was more accurate to the original script". Yeah, that aged about as well as you could imagine.
You may find it pathetic, but TTYD has a deeply nostalgic and emotional meaning to people, hence the vitriolic reaction.
Sooner or later, these people are going to have something that they love and enjoy get molested for "modern audiences". When that happens, I'll laugh.
I haven’t played a video game since I was 12.
You retards need to grow up and stop giving your money to a megacorp in exchange for mindless retard entertainment.
And yet, here you are. With all of us. Go figure.
I really don't think a couple lines is enough to ruin the entire remake. There are a lot of genuinely good upgrades here, besides the disappointing translation choice. I don't care how unpopular that is to say on here. I don't entirely avoid a piece of media because it may have a couple small flaws. I just think both sides of this kerfuffle are making a mountain over a molehill. I just want to play video games and this isn't a major enough thing for me to get angry over, at least for me.
I can't think of a single thing I like about this remake so far. The muddled, overproduced OST. The annoying "voices" from the companions that are beyond grating. The completely watered down script that removes and charm that the original had. The fact that every single surface is shiny because "WHOA, DUDE! GIRAFFICS!"
Does this look good to you?

I feel really bad for you if you can't enjoy a game because it has a simple art style. Literally some of the most fun games growing up that still hold up were basically one man projects with simple art styles. But I guess salivating over the latest AAA $70 release with day one $20 skins is what real gamers prefer.
 
If it's just a direct translation of how the game was originally intended to be then I don't really think it's that big of a deal.
The original Japanese text from 2004 was kind of "TeeHee this is a man that dresses as a woman, isn't that silly. WTF?" It was a joke that the character looked like a ghost girl, but was actually a ghost trap. Basically the same joke they do with the tranny on Always Sunny where the person looks like an insanely attractive woman, but is actually a man and humor is derived from that.

The original 2004 translation turned the character into a woman because Nintendo of America didn't want to put a ghost trap in a children's game.

The remake does not derive humor from it and is basically like, "No actually, this is a brave and beautiful trans woman who was misgendered and it's not funny at all."

It is quite different from the original intent.
 
Just say you're being a contrarian to get attention please honesty is more respectable
I'm being honest.

For comparison this is what the first paper mario looks like:
900x-739925599.jpg

Also on top of the already ugly graphics the animations are stiff. Why shouldn't I think you're the contrarian because you want to believe some slop made in a month is better than just emulating the game.

You need to invest in an S-Video cable for your N64.

Also, arguing with someone who is so into Paper Mario for N64 they have the ghost from it as their avatar isn't going to accomplish anything besides unleashing a torrent of autism.
