The Paper Mario franchise has had some trouble finding its feet for the last few years as it has looked to capture the magic of the original game and The Thousand Year Door in a formula that’s more action-adventure than RPG, and while results have been mixed with most new entries, the newest one, The Origami King, feels like Intelligent Systems have finally figured out how to make it work.

That’s been reflected in the reception for the game as well, with critics and audiences both praising the latest Nintendo Switch exclusive. To highlight that praise, Nintendo have released an accolades trailer for the game, going over some of the positive responses Paper Mario: The Origami King has gotten from several reviewers. Take a look below.

In our own review of the game, we called it “one of the best and most memorable outings in the series’ long history.” You can read our full review through here.

Paper Mario: The Origami King is available now on Nintendo Switch.
