Players managed to launch Paper Mario: The Origami King on PC a week before release

Mario's new plumber adventure, Paper Mario: The Origami King, will be released on Switch July 17th. This did not prevent people with access to the game from merging video gameplay on a PC into the network.

Twitter posts have already been blocked at the request of copyright holders from Nintendo, but you can still find a video demonstration of the gameplay on the network. Using emulators like Yuzu and Ryujinx, the game was able to run with 30 FPS in high resolution and with maximum graphics settings.

Paper Mario: The Origami King is the sixth game in the Paper Mario series due out on July 17th. The project is being released for the Nintendo Switch portable console.
