The online subscription service is adding its first N64 game since it first launched

Announced previously at the last Nintendo Switch Direct, Nintendo has confirmed that it will be adding N64’s Paper Mario to its Online Extension Pack in a week’s time on December 10.

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

The N64 Extension Pack membership offers Switch users the chance to play a growing library of classic Nintendo 64 games on their Switch. When it first launched, nine games were available including Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Yoshi’s Story, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and more. Paper Mario will be the first new title since then.

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 Switch Online library.

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? – Nintendo

Paper Mario was amongst the 7 titles confirmed to be added to the N64 Extension Pack at a later date. The other titles include Banjo-Kazooie, Pokémon Snap, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Mario Golf and F-Zero X.

Twitter user MondoMega recently analysed data from the N64 app and has worked out at least 38 games are scheduled to be added in the future, so it’s likely we will be seeing even more games after the 7 titles already confirmed are released.

Paper Mario will be added to the 64 Extension Pack on December 10.
