According to MarioBoards.com, an individual known as Fawful has taken the responsibility for the creation of the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door 3D video which Pure Nintendo recently reported.

After reviewing the MarioBoards website, it appears Fawful was well aware of his actions, especially after the fact that the hoax was spotted at GameFAQs. Fawlful decided to string it along and states, “Well, may as well keep it alive for at least a while.”

Nintendo has yet to provide a statement regarding the video and has not confirmed or denied the development of an actual Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door 3D, however, should a response be given to Pure Nintendo this post will be updated. Pure Nintendo has also reached out to Fawful for comment regarding the matter via his YouTube channel but a comment has not been given.
