Of course, you’ll need the Expansion Pack upgrade to the base online membership in order to play Paper Mario and the rest of the N64 and Sega Genesis games in this service. It costs $49.99 per year for an individual membership and $79.99 for a family plan of up to eight people.
Paper Mario, originally released on the Nintendo 64 in Japan in 2000 and internationally in 2001, is the first game in the series. Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach and imprisoned seven “Star Spirits.” The player controls Mario, along with several partners, to solve puzzles and defeat enemies in a turn-based battle system.
Paper Mario will be playable on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service starting on December 10. There is currently no information about when additional games will release on this service.
