Nintendo fans with a Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription enjoyed playing the Nintendo 64 games. Now, the original N64 Paper Mario game is coming to Switch next week.
The game will officially release on December 10th. If you’ve never played it, the title involves guiding paper-cut versions of Mario and his friends through strange new lands like Shiver Mountain and Lavalava Island. Although those lands were new to the franchise, Mario faces a very familiar threat in the form of his old foe Bowser.
Bowser gets a serious upgrade in the form of a Star Rod. With it, he is able to launch Peach’s castle far into the sky, all while finding time to endanger the Star Spirits. This gives Mario the daunting task of helping both the spirits and Peach while he tries to stay alive!
Speaking of staying alive, the combat in this game replaces platform action with RPG-style rounds. There is also a good deal of puzzle solving to keep players alert.
There is no denying that Paper Mario is an extraordinary title. But the jury has not yet decided whether the relatively meager selection of N64 and Genesis games justifies the cost of the expansion pack.
