Nintendo dropped a bunch of noteworthy announcements for Mario Day, including a release date for the revival of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The new version of the popular GameCube RPG will be released May 23 on Nintendo Switch, nearly 20 years after its original release. Along with updated high-resolution visuals, Nintendo says players can expect “a host of additional changes” that make the game better than ever. There's still a lot we don't know about the upcoming release, but pre-orders for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are already open at select retailers. Here's a look at Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for pre-orders and the bonuses available for pre-order.

If you're a fan of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you should know that it's widely considered one of the best RPGs in Nintendo's history. In 2004, a review of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door gave the game a perfect rating of 9/10, praising it for its innovative gameplay and fun characters. The review goes on to say that anyone who enjoyed Mario's previous adventures “should really try Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.” And since this upcoming revival looks to be a faithful adaptation with a few quality of life updates, it seems this advice applies to the Switch version.
