How are we halving frame rates on 20 year old paper cutout game remakes. That's hilarious

The times hits are easy but super block is tough. Was a one frame window at 60fps I think.

So is it still a one frame window now or is game logic separate from graphics and it is still 1/60th of a second.

Cheating helped me fail the test and stay on the show.
My guess on why it's 30 FPS is because it's running on Oragami King's engine, which also ran at 30 FPS.

I'm sure they've adjusted the timing on the super block to account for the framerate

I'm sure it looks good, just blows my mind that Mario Odyssey, surely a much more intense game, is locked at 60fps (with scaling fuckery sure). Hopefully 30fps doesn't make a difference but Switch 2 can't get here soon enough

Agreed, it looks shinier and more polished than the original but plenty of better looking switch games run higher than 30fps

Of course, lots of good looking games also run quite poorly on the switch but I usually have higher expectations from first party stuff. I agree that it's likely the aging hardware and all, so it probably can't be helped much

Yeah going with one of the modern forms of transphobia where the person just kind of awkwardly refuses to refer to gender at all and thinks they're getting away with it is a really good choice.

Ask me about my XCOM and controller collection

word.

I don’t really want to spoil thousand year door for myself because I enjoyed Mario rpg so much, so is there a spoiler free way to explain what the deal is? It seems like there’s some sort of side plot involving the least graceful handling of transgender issues since Mario 2? Or maybe less graceful than Mario 2?

Either way it seems like I should be able to have an hd mother 3 remake.

Edit: which reminds me that I was like “oh yeah I’m going to beat BotW and Mother 3 before April is over “ and nope.

It's a really great game.

The Japanese version had maybe 5 lines across the entire game suggesting one of your party members was trans. It was handled fine, but also was not the focus of her story at all. The NA localization back on gamecube changed those lines to remove the suggestion, it looks like the re-translation on switch is adding it back in. If trans stuff wasn't a culture war issue right now nobody would care, it's an incredibly minor aspect of the game.

I'm howling because there's currently another batshit stupid culture war about accurate translations in games. The fact that the more accurate translation is working in transgender specifics is going to cause some people to stroke out.

it's pretty much been a known thing ever since the game first came out so it's funny to see it get officially recognized now in an english translation

to fully explain without any real spoilers:

Vivian is a party member in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. In the English version, her and her sisters call themselves the 'three shadow sirens' (referring to the sirens of greek mythology). In the JP version, Vivian calls them the 'three shadow beauties,' but one of her sisters protests that they can't all be beauties, because Vivian is a boy. Vivian says she is a girl. Her sisters then call her stupid. Later on in the JP version, Vivian is like, 'you see me as a girl, right mario' and mario nods. That's about the extent of it. In the English version, it was just sort of turned into her sisters generically bullying her.

The only real questionable bit of it is that Goombella (another party member) also refers to her as 'a girl... i think.' but this seems more like a questionable joke about Goombella's unfamiliarity with the situation than any sort of like, malicious thing, and is a reasonable enough thing to tweak in a remake/new translation.

its not a frontier of trans representation but theres nothing really wrong with it, its pretty harmless and its good to see it reintroduced.

I hope whatever intentional bad faith garbage argument those jokers settle on going with is not reposted in the Nintendo Switch thread, since it holds no value or interest to any true enjoyer of games :)

Vivian was sort of a joke (the only pretty shadow siren is the one who wasn't born a siren, the others are hags) but only so much as everyone in a game titled Paper Mario is a joke character. Either way there was no ambiguity in the original over her being a transgirl so this is basically going to expose all the Paper Mario frauds.

There's been a couple of level design tweaks noticed by some people. Additional pipes and such in some places such as the first dungeon. I guess it'll mildly sand down some of the backtracking.

One big change is that you now have an inventory size of 15 instead of 10. Hello there, Bug Fables.

One thing that's always bugged me was that even during the ending Goombella still hesitates to call Vivian a girl (more accurately she writes "sisters(?)" when referring to the sirens), and this is after they've been hanging out for a while and are presumably supposed to be friends! I hope that part gets reworked too, but I guess we'll see.

At least no matter how much is/isn't changed we'll always still have the opportunity to beat Beldam with hammers
