What you need to know

  • Nintendo Switch Online is an online service that offers access to retro games, cloud saves, and more.
  • The base Nintendo Switch Online subscription offers Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System games.
  • The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack allows players to access a variety of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis titles.
  • The newest Nintendo 64 title in the NSO Expansion Pack line-up is Paper Mario, a role-playing game.

With the release of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, Nintendo promised that new Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games would continue to be released for the service. Since the service's release in October, no new games were announced until now. Nintendo's Twitter account announced the upcoming release of Paper Mario for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, a game originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 2000.

The game set itself apart from other Mario games at the time by featuring a cast of Mushroom Kingdom characters made entirely out of paper — and using this mechanic to the fullest with paper-centric puzzles, witty puns, and world building. Paper Mario is set to release on the service on December 10, 2021. Only subscribers to the Expansion Pack can access this and other Nintendo 64 games upon its release.
