    Finally there is a Paper Mario for Nintendo Switch! I was happy to grab this one on MARIO Day for my 7y/o. He was able to grab it and play right away. It appears easy to learn.

    Game is ok. Battle mode sucks

    The turn based battle system plagues the game. Takes away from the story and it is quite frankly annoying. I just want to play the game but get sucked in to these lame battles. It makes it very unenjoyed.

    This was a gift for my granddaughter. She was elated with the gift and plays this game continuously along with her siblings.

    So far so good. Hoping this Samsung microwave last longer then the other purchased approximately 20months ago. Nice looking, was very easy to install.

    The game has some comical moments but I miss Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. This game not only has so so graphics, the battle system is trash. I really liked the old style a ton more.

    Very nostalgic, the combat style is a little confusing at first but it gets easier fairly quickly. If you played any of the other Paper Mario games I would definitely recommend this one.

    Paper Mario returns stemming from its roots back on Mario RPG but in a style that makes it impressive and somehow works amazing well

    Was not expecting the turn based style but loving it. I purchased this without knowing much about it and from just being a fan of the previous games.

    Interesting mechanics, but Mario can barely jump

    I have enjoyed the different dynamics of the game, but Mario can barely jump, and relies way too much on a hammer. I know that Mario could get a hammer in Donkey Kong, but it is not an essential part of who he is as a gaming character; jumping is!

    This game is overall meh, the combat is interesring at first but gets boring real quick. The visuals and charm are the only thing this game has going for it

    This game is amazing for a Paper Mario game but I have to admit that the Paper Mario games are not my favorite, mostly because of the battle mechanics, but overall this is a great game.

    Mario games for Nintendo Switch are always great. Ordered these for my grandkids and they love them. Ordered for delivery to home address and order was on time as promised.

    Love the adventure, not crazy about battle

    I thought the puzzle-like circular turn-based battles would be more fun, But they tend to be more irritating—something just to get through to progress. They could completely remove this element and it would still be a strong game.

    A little slow, not a ton of action. Very pretty and has some giggles in the dialogue, but I think this one missed the mark for the series that continues to let fans down.

    It’s fun but the game is too simple if you ask me, I know it’s mario but it gets a little repeats tube with someone the puzzles and no voice overs!!? Can’t even make mario talk?

    Certainly not the best paper Mario game but better than the last two in recent years. Won't reach the greatness of a thousand-year door, paper Mario 64, or super paper Mario but is right behind those in quality.

    I never played it but my Girlfriend says its one of the best Mario games and who am I to argue with her. Apparently the last Paper Mario was better.

    For the price its worth buying. Nintendo games rarely go on sale, I got BB to price match it with Amazon at 34.99 when I made the purchase.

    This versions has interesting twist to it but I still don’t like it as much as the other versions of Paper Mario that I have played. Still worth buying and playing.
