Paper Mario The Origami King pre-loading open from today

Paper Mario The Origami King pre-loading is now available on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop ahead of the game’s launch next month.

Alongside the news, Nintendo also provided a new look at the baddies who’ll populate the game.

“King Olly has moved Peach’s Castle in his devious plot to fold the world,” Nintendo advised. “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 underground sewers, raging rapids, an ancient ruin, a ninja-filled mansion and a lively desert oasis that will quench anyone’s thirst for excitement.

“A cast of off-the-wall characters adds an extra dimension to the expedition, too. There’s a Bob-omb who’s lost his memory, the Toad professor of ancient history and Kamek, the Magikoopa who’s always got something up his sleeve. Mario will find assistance along the way from friends like Olivia, the good-natured sister of King Olly, and even Bowser himself. Some of these unlikely allies might help out in a battle when needed!”

Paper Mario The Origami King heads to Nintendo Switch on 17 July. You can pre-order the game now for $79.95 AUD.
