Now, picture this — the year is 2006, I got my first video game consoles for Christmas. While my siblings had GameCubes, PS2s, and all the fancy tech, I never really got much. That was until I got a PS3 and Wii that year. Access to the entire PS1, PS2, PS3, GameCube, and Wii libraries out the gate was something that is an insanely hard feeling to describe. It was time to play some of classics I’ve always heard about alongside experience games on the go for the first time with a PSP and DS for my birthday the following year.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
There are a few games in life that get y’all in a certain mood. Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is that game, it just brings the absolute energy.
Vivid memories flood, reminiscing about the Pit of 100 Trials showcasing the amount of different enemies there are alongside giving you the ability to strategize the way you need to attack your foes as some are immune to certain moves. Then there’s meeting Koops, Mario’s most important buddy that tags along. He is a Koopa Troopa that you become friends with on your journey. The assortment of companions that you get outside of Koops too is quite large, each giving their own abilities that can be used both inside and outside of battle to access new areas.
