Today's the day, folks! Paper Mario: The Origami King is out on Switch as we speak, and Nintendo has treated us to a lovely launch trailer to celebrate.
We're sure you know all about it at this point, especially if you've read through our full review of the game, but we'll share this official wording from Nintendo for you just in case:
King Olly has moved Peach’s Castle in his devious plot to fold the world in Paper Mario: The Origami King out now exclusively for Nintendo Switch. Luckily, Mario’s ability to wield mighty paper techniques will put a crinkle in those plans. Mario’s journey to untie the massive streamers binding the castle will lead him through vast regions full of surprises. He’ll visit raging rapids, an ancient ruin, a ninja-filled mansion and a lively desert oasis that will quench anyone’s thirst for excitement.
Paper Mario: The Origami King delivers new ring-based battles that require strategy and quick thinking to line up enemies and execute well-timed attacks to maximise damage. It’ll take a sharp mind to determine when to stomp enemies with Mario’s boots, when to whack ‘em with a hammer and when to strategically use items to heal or attack. When Mario’s not duking it out in the ring, he can investigate suspicious spots to uncover hidden items, toss confetti to repair holes in the landscape, discover loads of Toads hiding in the scenery, play mini-games to earn in-game rewards, and revel in an abundance of secrets and treasures.
Later today we'll be sharing one of our launch day polls on the site, so make sure to check back with us to see just how many people are planning on checking out Mario's latest adventure. Until then, feel free to discuss the new title in the comments below.

Looks fun 😃 Gonna wait for a second hand physical copy.
I wish the Things become a Summon command like on Sticker Star / Color Splash.
They were Eidolon of Paper Mario.
Preordered it on the eshop. I should give it a try before work
Preloaded on the switch. Think im gonna play it today.
Playing it now 😁 great game marred for me by over complicated battle system. I will persevere though.
Got mine! Will give it a go over the weekend
Looks like a lot of fun, will get once I clear my backlog
Looks beautiful
@1UP_MARIO That is lovely! It makes me miss the old manuals and reading them on the bus/train home. I still have many from my SNES and they were fantastic. Such a pity Nintendo stopped doing these
@1UP_MARIO Looks nice. But wouldn't it be cool if they included some origami paper and a folding manual!
Man, I still think these Switch cases are so barren. Just a cart and a cover... boring.
@pinta_vodki some stores like game did give origami sheets and stickers but I didn’t want to pay full price for the game.
Mine was delivered an hour ago. But I’m away until Monday so I’ll have to wait.
@pinta_vodki Mine came with an orgami kit - not sure if it's just a ShopTo thing though.
