Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door to Make a Return on Switch in 2024
Next year, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will be making a return to the Switch. While we’ve seen some ratings pop up online, it has now also been rated by the ESRB.
The game has received a rating of ‘E’ for “Everyone” and contains “mild fantasy violence” and “mild suggestive themes” with “no interactive elements”. Here’s the description of the game, which also notes how there’s some “brief flirtatious dialogue” and “exaggerated proportions”:
“This is an adventure role-playing game in which players help Mario rescue Princess Peach from an alien group. As players traverse whimsical worlds, they interact with characters and engage in turn-/puzzle-based combat against paper creatures. Players use various attacks (e.g., boot stomp, hammer strike, fire balls) against cartoony enemies that disappear into stars and coins. A handful of characters engage in brief flirtatious dialogue (e.g., “Aren’t you a fine specimen of a man”; “Perhaps if I…grabbed you and gave you a little sugar”), and/or are designed with large chests/exaggerated proportions.”
Comparing it to the original ESRB GameCube rating, the Switch version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door follows a similar pattern, having an ‘E’ rating for “Everyone” as well, and featured “mild cartoon violence” with “no interactive elements”. This latest rating follows ones in Brazil and Korea in October.
While there’s no specific launch date for Thousand-Year Door on the Switch, hopefully, this latest rating means it will be arriving sooner rather than later in 2024. For more dates for upcoming Nintendo titles, you can check out our previous story.
