Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I still can't decide if this or TTYD is a better game.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Cool!
After I beat DK64, guess I'll pick this up.
Give me Goemon 64 soon, Nintendo!

Man, if only
I... don't think that will ever happen with how Konami is behaving lately...
I'm finally considering transferring my content from Wii to Wii U so I can download this for $2.
;'(

Love both of those games on N64 so goddamn much.
I think the first one has some weird emulation quirks that haven't been worked out even by the emulation community yet, though. At least, the last time I checked.

Yeah, the skybox apparently causes the game to slowdown super much on an emulator---
Hoping perhaps the Wii U might be able to handle it?
My dream Wii U 64 ESHOP includes:
Donkey Kong 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Banjo-Kazooie/Banjo-Tooie
Chameleon Twist 1 and 2
Space Station Silicon Valley
Snowboard Kids 1 and 2
Goemon 64 and Goemon 64 2 (forgot what it was called specifically)
That Tom and Jerry Fighter
Quest 64 (lol)

I don't see Star Wars games on that list. The N64 was really good to Lucasarts.

I forgot all about this. Thankfully I got both Paper Mario and Mario 64 a CN rewards a while back so I don't feel bad plunking down $2 each for these wonderful games. Paper Mario is so much fun. Can't wait to get back to obsessively learning character lore from my buddy Goombario.

Some would say better.
I don't remember it having any parts that really dragged on like how TTYD had the tree, parts of Glitz Pit, Twilight Town, the train...actually, TTYD had a lot of parts that sort of overstayed their welcome.
However, overall the plot of 64 is a bit lighter, not as deep, especially the party members which are all pretty shallow.

This so much, I would throw so much monies at Nintendo for it.
Can't wait for PM64, my favorite PM game.
My man.

I forgot this is out tomorrow. This served as a convenient reminder, thank you.
For me, always TTYD, but the original is up there for sure.
Personally I think TTYD is the overall better game.
I don't mind playing the game again but just not right now. hasn't been a year since I beat it.
maybe next year.

YES! Will be getting the upgrade for sure! Top favorite game of all time for me!
No need to. They're both freaking amazing.
And suddenly I remember the Paper Mario diorama contest Nintendo had...

I'm getting the CN version and paying the 2 bucks, it's going to be fun to revisit this game.

One of my favourite games of all time, even though I haven't beat it. I got to the final boss on the Wii VC version, and I hope to actually beat it this time!

I'm seriously tempted to download this even thought I have my N64 hooked up to my TV with Paper Mario in the slot right now...

I bought this on the Wii VC. Being able to play on the Gamepad might actually get me to play it more. Then again, I'm not sure if I want to go through 1/3 of the game again.
To be honest, I found Paper Mario kind of boring after experiencing the Mario & Luigi games. Inferior battle system.

For some reason, I've found that I enjoy this title more than TTYD. ...I should buy it.

Well thankfully, I'm surprised to meet someone who feels the way that I do about TTYD.
I don't really mind the lighter story elements
partly because I don't Mario games for a story.
The main thing TTYD has over PM64 is the improved battle mechanics, otherwise, some parts of its story drag on a bit while PM64's pacing is immaculate. You never spend too long in one chapter, each chapter is the appropriate length or length they need to be. And while the battle mechanics are technically inferior to TTYD (because TTYD is the sequel) they're still very good regardless and even despite TTYD's existence hold up extremely well.
Not many games that have sequels work out that way -- usually it's hard for people to go back to the first game after playing a sequel because they're used to the sequel's improvements. PM64 can stand all on its own despite TTYD's presence.

My favorite Paper Mario game. Glad to see so many are giving it a shot for the first time, it's really a wonderful game.
PM64 always felt to me like a proper "blueprint" of what a Mario RPG should be like. Rogueport in TTYD just never felt like a town you'd actually find in the Mushroom Kingdom to me, whereas Toad Town in PM64 did. TTYD definitely had improved combat mechanics, but I've always much preferred 64's setting and world over TTYD's.

Oddly the only entry in the series i've yet to play, i should finally give it a go. I really enjoy the sequels, each for how different they are from one another.
IntSys made some amazing music for this game. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to leave Shooting Star Summit up for a bit and doze off.

Wow, you share the exact same opinion as me. Chapter 2 in TTYD (the tree) is probably the part I hate the most about replaying the game. Having to blow the Punies is so irritating, and if you drop or miss one, have fun. I can see how Chapter 3 might not be to everyone's liking, but I think it is pretty good despite the large number of battles. I mean, it does introduce Yoshi, after all. Twilight Town is in the middle of enjoyable and not enjoyable. I first time i played it, I didn't read the bird telling me the guy's name, so I had to look up the name. I dislike the mystery forests in both Paper Mario games, so it doesn't help Twilight Town. The train also is pretty bad. It is an interesting concept, but it can take a long time to do if you forget what process, and it is boring, overall.
I also think the Moon overstays its welcome. Despite all of the shortcomings of TTYD, it is still an amazing game. I really like Paper Mario 64, and would probably rate it better than TTYD, but that is mostly due to nostalgia. It would be nice to have a remake or VC release of TTYD.
Well, don't.
