Nintendo Reminds Us That Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Is 20 Years Old

Image: Nintendo Nintendo doesn't often mention the GameCube, but this week it made a special exception by reminding its social media followers of an important anniversary. Yes, today marks the 20th anniversary Paper Mario: The Millennium Door on the GameCube in Japan. This classic game is often considered the best version in the Mario RPG series and as we all know, it returned a few months ago on the Nintendo Switch. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door opened on the Nintendo GameCube in Japan on this very day 20 years ago! Have you tried the Nintendo Switch version of this classic Mario adventure? pic.twitter.com/CPOwzImZjK— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) July 22, 2024 Although Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary in Japan, the game wasn't actually released in places like North America, Europe, and Australia until October 2004 and November 2004, respectively. If you’re excited to join in the celebrations today, be sure to check out the Switch version. Here’s a sampling of what we had to say about the new version in our Nintendo Life review: "For 20 years, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has been considered the best Mario RPG of all time, and the remake on Switch proves it's worthy of that title." Will you be celebrating Paper Mari: The Thousand-Year Door on Switch or going back to the original release? Do you have any memorable moments with the game? Let us know in the comments.
