In the past, Nintendo would honour its legacy titles by offering them for sale through the eShop. With the Switch however, the console manufacturer opted to create a subscription service instead. Years after the last major update adding SNES titles, the Switch finally saw Nintendo 64 games release onto the platform via an Expansion Pack. This ‘Expansion Pack’ has now gotten its first update, but is only adding one new game.

Making the announcement, Nintendo revealed that the Nintendo 64 classic ‘Paper Mario’ would be coming to the Switch’s NSO + Expansion Pack service. Joining on the 10th of December, Paper Mario is the first entry in the spin-off RPG sub franchise, one which experiments with both art style and genre.

The game received universal acclaim from both critics and fans alike at the time with IGN claiming it to be “a fantastically deep, intuitively designed, and wonderfully rewarding experience complete with enhanced takes on old-school turn-based fighting mechanics and a statistic system that would satisfy any RPG fanatic.”

Even though there is no denying that Paper Mario is a valuable addition to the N64 Online service, offering just one game can be seen as being stingy by some – especially when PlayStation offers at least 3 modern games every month, and Xbox Game Pass manages to include all first party, and many major third party releases throughout every single month. Hopefully Nintendo rethinks their retro game strategy.

It was already rumoured that we would see a new Mario game from Nintendo this year and now, we finally know what's coming. Instead of holding a Nintendo Direct, this news was just pushed out today alongside a trailer, announcing Paper Mario: The Origami King. 

Paper Mario: The Origami King marks the debut of the Paper Mario series on the Nintendo Switch. You can get a good idea of what to expect in the trailer below:

As Mario, you will use your abilities to stop King Olly from taking over Origami Kingdom, you will also enlist the help of other characters along the way. The latest Paper Mario also has a new ring-based battle system, so you can use some puzzle-solving skills to maximise your damage against enemies.

Paper Mario: The Origami King is launching on July 17th.

KitGuru Says: Those rumours of a continuously delayed Direct in February/March appear to hold some weight in hindsight. Still, it is good to see that the current climate isn't keeping the game from being announced or released. Will many of you be picking this up in July?

Nintendo is working on a brand new Paper Mario for the Wii U, if unnamed sources via certain Twitter accounts are to be believed. Supposedly five separate sources have confirmed it and the game is currently undergoing localisation and testing, so presumably isn't too far from release.

This news first appeared on Twitter, with @Emi1yRogers claiming that she and several other users, some of whom are NeoGAF forum members, heard from several unnamed individuals that a new game was in the works. Initially they promised to release the identity of the game on Monday the 25th, but eventually decided to announce it all early.

Although this still remains a rumour for now, so needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, we're told it's a first party, Nintendo published title. The developer is said to be Intelligent Systems, a developer that has worked with Nintendo for decades at this point and was behind the previous Paper Mario entries on N64, Gamecube Wii and 3DS.

No surprise really that it's behind a new one, if indeed these rumours are true.

KitGuru Says: The last Paper Mario, Sticker Star, wasn't quite so well received as previous iterations. What did you guys think of it?
