Paper Mario TTYD Fans Aren't Happy With Remake Removing Chat Log
thegamer.comPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door just got a remake for Nintendo Switch, and while the response has been glowing (we scored it four out of five stars), fans aren't too happy that the chat log has been removed.
"In the original game, you could press Z to bring up previous messages that you'd scrolled through too fast," one Reddit user posted. "I was so stoked when they randomly brought the feature back with [The Legend of Zelda] Tears of the Kingdom, and then again in Pikmin 4. I was really hoping this would be a new 'normal' thing to include in games.
It's not unplayable, but it is objectively more annoying to play when they remove features that made it less annoying to play.
"I've got ADD and Tourette's, so sometimes I accidentally hit A without actually reading or comprehending what was said. It's really frustrating, and the chat log solved my issues completely. And then they took it out of this 20-year-old game for no reason, after they started doing it again."
It's frustrating to lose such an intuitive and user-friendly mechanic, but there are ways--even if they're a bit clunky--to make your own chat log in case you miss any important details.
"Sometimes I accidentally skip through dialogue as well," one fan commented. "On the Switch, you can just create a video to go back and check what you missed. Little annoying, but it gets the job done."
If you need to do this while playing at any point, just hold the capture button down and the last 30 seconds of gameplay will be saved. Odds are, that'll include anything you missed. You can then go frame-by-frame to pause on the moment of dialogue you skipped. It's not automatic, so you'll need to respond fast, but it's a decent enough workaround for now.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a remake of the well-loved RPG first released on the GameCube. Relive this iconic adventure that turns 2D on its head and turns Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom into paper.
