With Princess Peach: Showtime! Now available on Switch, Nintendo is turning its focus to the return of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Ahead of its release in May, pre-order details and other information have been shared.

Now, to add to that, a two-minute story trailer has been released, and despite there being no gameplay footage, it seems to have fans very excited. As many who played the original GameCube version have noticed, this storybook has now been animated. Here is the comparison, Courtesy of “PJiggles” on social media:

Excitement for The Thousand-Year Door's return is already showing with the game topping the bestseller charts on Amazon and other websites where pre-orders for the game have sold out. Nintendo is also offering a bunch of pre-order goodies including one bundle where you can get a full “buildable battle stage.”
