Nintendo’s remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is out this week on Nintendo Switch, bringing the 2004 Nintendo GameCube classic to the modern era. Check out the launch trailer below, which sees a narrator becoming increasingly befuddled at Mario’s capabilities.

Set in Rogueport, the story sees Mario looking to rescue Princess Peach after the latter finds a map leading to hidden treasure.

Combat is turn-based and involves timed button presses for attacking and defending.

Players can also equip Badges to enhance their abilities or learn new skills, unleash powerful attacks thanks to the Crystal Stars and even impress the audience enough to receive items.
