Paper Mario N64 is coming to Switch Online next week

NeoGAFs Kent Brockman



The classic role-playing game will be the first new N64 title added to the Expansion Pack tier following its launch in October.

“Prepare yourself for a flat-out hilarious adventure, from the tropical jungles of Lavalava Island to the frosty heights of Shiver Mountain, when Paper Mario pops up in the Nintendo 64Nintendo Switch Online library,” the company said.

“In Paper Mario, his vile viciousness – Bowser himself – has absconded with the magical Star Rod and lifted Peach’s Castle into the sky with the help of Kammy Koopa. Who will stop him now? It’s up to Mario (and you!) to save all seven of the Star Spirits, guarded by Bowser’s handpicked minions. Can you rise to the occasion and pull off a storybook ending?”

Great game, but even more evidence that the shown “coming soon” games are the entire first year of n64.

I remember when I tried emulating it when I a young teenager, loved that game but a crash made lose my progress, since then I’ve been waiting for Nintendo to give me the chance to properly play it, now I don’t even know because of the emulation errors, I’ll probably upgrade my subs once I’m like 2 months left so I can pay just a little and play some games I’ve been wanting to play so much

Been a Nintendo fan forever and paying for Switch Online (family plan) for the whole lifecycle of the console. I can't help but feel being a bit cheated by this whole new tier system. Shouldn't have happened.

It was up on Wii Virtual Console, might still be up on Wii U one
 
I hate to sound like a negative asshole, by why THE SHIT don't they just shadow drop it now? It's a 40mb rom file. No updates for a month and a half, now a trailer for a rerelease of a 20 year old game to be added 8 days from now? Have some self-respect, people.

This is coming from a huge Nintendo fan, btw.

My country got fucked hard by socialism so I couldn’t be bothered to get a console, let alone an eternal $350 one so no, that was not an option for me, I barely started affording consoles like 3 years ago in another country and been hoping for Switch to give me the opportunity to play some games I couldn’t before

I wish I could pay Nintendo an online service fee but instead of getting any games or service they send someone over to my place to lightly spank my nutsack, that seems like something they'd be into.
 
ngl unlike nes and snes, n64 hasnt aged well, with a few exceptions. Snes is timeless, n64 games look awkward af.

You do realize this is an exception, N64 online tax nonwithstanding?

And you'd probably complain about eBay prices if it weren't made available by Nintendo.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't. Eh...

It's an extra paywall and questionable framerates that are the problems.

All right, I read through the article, and I'm not seeing what you're referring to as a "paywall."

It's so weird that Nintendo is drip feeding the games. It's a damn subscription service and Paper Mario has been available on the WiiU for years.

Just make the games available Nintendo.

It’s an outstanding game, if not one of the most enjoyable games created in the RPG genre

The frustration over the NSO tier systems now in place and its pricing is understandable, but there is no denying that this game is brilliant. Anyone who hasn’t played Paper Mario yet is missing out on an all time great
 
Whats this Nintendo + nonsense. Nintendo wont be successful unless they have a gamepass competitor.

This is a weak showing. They need put Breath of the Wild 2 day one on their service. Or Ill buy the game full price. Their call.
