Nintendo Paper Mario: The Origami King - Switch

I gave this game to my grandson as a Christmas present.

Didn’t take long to receive and the game was in perfect condition. Enjoyed the challenge of the gameplay.

The game is very funny!

Me encantó el juego. Es sumamente divertido.

Product was in some home done heat shrink plastic and wasn’t even sealed down one whole side. Obviously not new factory sealed but also not labeled used or refurbished.

My son loves all the mario games

My kids have a bunch of fun on this game

The battle system is infuriating, hate it. Makes me wanna throw my console.

Our 7 year old son loves the Mario games so we got him this one as well. He is still playing it it keeps him busy.

So, just a heads up that if you dont feel ready for having a conversation with your kid about Death, they may not be ready for this game. (More on that later, as its spoilery) This game is a lot better than Super Paper Mario, but the combat style is very different from the first two Paper Mario games. In place of Badges, upgraded Weapons, and Items, you just have Items and disposable Weapons. (Feel free to use them like crazy, I was hoarding them for way too long.) I wish there was a way to see opponent health points (Tattle) so I could know which attacks to use, as I felt like I was mostly guessing. For completionists, the map gives you handy little percentages for the items you need to find or fix, so that was EXTREMELY helpful. The game also has two different methods of fast travel, Warp Pipes in the museum, or Fax Travel in the remote labs. Partners are a little different than in the first two games as well. They dont really stay with you, they usually hang around for a chapter or so and then stay in the area when you leave. They also dont attack all the time, and you dont control if they do or not. So dont count on their help. Olivia, your main companion, is adorable. She is a lovely character. She is super curious, and very emotive. - Now for the spoiler territory. About half way through the game, you permanently lose a character, and you have to console another character over that loss. In this Paper Mario game, death is permanent for everyone but Mario. At the end of the game, the main villain is revealed to be trying to commit a genocide, Thanos-style, with a magical wish. Instead, your main companion uses the wish and ends up wishing herself out of existence in the process. If you 100% the game, an inanimate version of her is seen in the ending cutscene. It is not a satisfying ending. :( Overall, good game. A nice Paper Mario experience, but I just was not ready for those emotional punches.
