While players grit their teeth at the first volley of Nintendo 64 games that have just landed on the Nintendo Switch Online subscription, the manufacturer includes a role-playing game with a certain popularity rating without warning.
It’s an understatement to say that old RPG audiences are hoping for a return to the basics with each new episode of Paper Mario. But since the Wii episode in 2007, the RPG dimension definitely seems to have given way to the rest, to the chagrin of some. No matter, because the players who have subscribed to the new Nintendo Switch Online offer can finally afford to return to the sources they hoped for.
Paper tiger
You guessed it: the founding episode Paper Mario will soon be added to the first list of games in the Nintendo 64 catalog. Nintendo has actually announced its arrival for December 10th., as a gift before the lesson:
As this short press release doesn’t omit, it is necessary to have subscribed to the current add-on package in order to benefit from it. Life is well done at times as some will discover this determined RPG, Paper Mario, in the terms of (or almost) time. In fact, the wireless replica of the Nintendo 64 controller is obviously compatible with this newbie.
Step by step
By “quickly” expanding the Nintendo Switch Online catalog, the manufacturer can of course try to meet potential critics who complain about missing updates to the service. In December 2019, the company announced the end of the monthly game add-ons to give preference on a case-by-case basis.
The arrival of the Nintendo 64 catalog also didn’t go smoothly.as some players had publicly questioned the quality of the emulation, to blame for regular frame rate drops, lags, or some unwanted crashes. In view of this criticism, the President of Nintendo of America had assured that he would take the statements “very seriously”.
Will the arrival of Paper Mario calm things down? When the RPG 2001 launches on December 10th, the Nintendo Switch Online catalog should soon be welcoming The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Banjo-Kazooie, Pokémon Snap, Mario Golf, and Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards.
