Paper Mario will bring together Nintendo Switch Online's catalog of Nintendo 64 games on December 10, announced Nintendo on Thursday. It volition be the first title to be added to the service since its debut in October.

Nintendo shared a trailer on Twitter showcasing the game in activity. Dissimilar many of the N64 games featured on Nintendo'south service, Paper Mario doesn't rely heavily on 3D graphics, then it looks to take aged pretty gracefully compared to the service's other offerings.

Paper Mario originally debuted on the N64 in 2000. Every bit is typical in Mario games, the game centers around Mario trying to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. However, the game is a turn-based RPG with a paper-themed art fashion rather than a platformer.

Newspaper Mario's inclusion on the service was previously confirmed when the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack was offset announced, only the title was missing from the first wave of games. Other notable titles coming to the service include The Legend of Zelda: Majora'south Mask, Banjo-Kazooie, and Pokémon Snap. Newspaper Mario releasing by itself seems to suggest that futurity N64 games could be added ane at a fourth dimension, equally opposed to being released in batches, which was how NES and SNES games were added to the Switch'south initial online service.

The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion pack has had a pretty rough kickoff. Its yearly $49.99 price signal, various emulation problems, and lack of remappable controls have all been subject field to intense criticism past the Nintendo community. I mutual gripe with the service is that its games endure from varying degrees of input lag, which could show problematic in Paper Mario — a game with gainsay that calls for all sorts of timed push presses.
