Man idk what it is but I think N64 Paper Mario looks SO much better than TTYD. Feels like they were so excited they COULD up the graphic fidelity they didn't think about if they SHOULD. Something about the latter just feels fan mod-y.

*Kicking my backlog under a carpet in the corner * I think gonna replay all the Paper Mario games to give them proper reviews and see if my ranking still holds!
Currently it's:
- The Origami King
- Paper Mario
- Color Splash
- Sticker Star
- The Thousand Year Door
- Super Paper Mario

Time to finish up Flower Fields.
Managed to clear as far as possible in Toad Town Underground, along with finishing up some of the mini quests and bonus stuff. Delivered a loooot of mail for Parakarry. Feeling good about the playthrough so far.

I've returned to this classic via NSO + Expansion Pack. Boy, oh, boy, has the childhood feels hit me hard. I really enjoy retro games, both those I've played and those I haven't.

But this game ignited a joy in me I have NEVER experienced during my replays of classic games I love. I think the gameplay has a satisfying mix of different components to keep me engaged and enjoying it! Also the style and humor is just so iconic. I've played a little over 8 hours and I'm excited to continue my journey with this game!

So thanks to the family plan and the N64 Virtual Console I finally got a chance to play the game that started Paper Mario, and I just gotta ask: What the hell happened to Paper Mario? I can't think of a Nintendo franchise with a huger gap in quality than the one that exists between this game and Paper Mario …

Started 4/16/20. This is the first N64 game I’ve ever played! Moves a little slow and the freaking timed hits in battles are back from Mario RPG (not my favorite feature) but so far it’s cute and light and a nice contrast to the deicide in Breath of Fire 2.
Unrelated, but this is also the last game I have …

Unrelated, but this is also the last game I have to finish on my Wii from store purchases. Minus some Sega games that are also in the Genesis Classics collection. I’d rather play them on PS4 than the Wii, so oh well, money not well spent. Then it’s time to bust out the PSX. I guess the quarantine is good for catching up on a lifetime of backlog.
So yeah, Paper Mario. :)

I remember when this was rumored to be a real sequel to Super Mario RPG. Sighs Ah, well, still a really great game. <3 I love this series.
