With just a little over a month to go before the release of a brand new Paper Mario game, Nintendo has decided to give fans a more detailed look at what the game has to offer. This five-minute trailer shows some of the new locations Mario will be exploring, the companions he'll be travelling with, the battle system, and more. Kamek, Bowser, and Bowser Jr. will also be a part of some of the characters you'll meet throughout your journey. Paper Mario: The Origami King will be launching soon, on July 17th.

Closer look? Showing the whole game in a trailer is no closer look.

The overall game looks amazing although I don't think the new wheel combat system will be liked by many...

The game is looking absolutely massive, I don't think you have to worry about a 5-minute trailer showing everything there is to see. It's just a surface-level introduction to some of the locations and characters.

damn i really need that shit

I hope you are right. But they showed too much for my taste.

GOTY

Theres lots of spoilers in the video, wish i hadnt seen it

I have yet to play the game and I already hate the battle system.

Why they have to switch the combat system in EVERY SINGLE PAPER MARIO GAME? Is really so hard to be consistent like the Mario & Louigi series was?

 

[Chary]

Dubious about the battle system but I very much look forward to it.

The new trailer unfortunately shows battles are item based rather than skill, badge and ability based. And heart pieces it seems are hidden throughout the game to increase hp. So battles may been made meaningless since they may not be used to level up.

Why does Nintendo keep doing this crap with everything? Either it be consoles themselves or the games. They always screw-up by making them either gimmicky or overly simplified or removing and replacing features we love with crap! F this crap! i want my money back from my digital pre order!

 

[Bladexdsl]

line them up BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT
that's all i need to know. skipping this

okay, right.

I can understand the dislike for this system, but like. Why did you digitally pre order it with those concerns in mind? This stuff isn't new. They've been changing it up since Super Paper Mario. You gain nothing from a digital pre order, and only stand to lose because, as I'm sure you've found out, you can't get it refunded.

I just want to understand the thought process here. What was there to gain?

Obviously TTYD has the same system as the first game..?

Is really so hard to be consistent like the Mario & Louigi series was?

The first three M&L games each have some pretty significant twists compared to one another, I think. Maybe Dream Team did as well, but it was such a profoundly disappointing slog; I don't think they changed enough compared to Bowser's Inside Story.

I have spent years utterly baffled by why anyone would want to buy a game at launch anymore.

 

[Ninn]

Was the music this bad in earlier games?

The music sounds so...uninspired.

Pretty sure it's only when you're lineing crap up, which is better then the whole battle being timed. But yeah one use attacks suck and there's still way to many toads...

 

[Hells Malice]

Hmm well I said if it had badges and partners i'd give it a chance. At least we can confirm they finally brought back partners.

Looks pretty interesting and cute. The bosses look meh design-wise but oh well. The actual fights look like that could be fun.

 

[spotanjo3]

It was the first paper game I ever tried on N64 and finished it. I find it uninterested and disliked at all. Nah.

I don't think it shows that at all. It clearly shows battles being fought using abilities. Are there items too? Sure, but imo you're over analyzing it before more is known.

 

[Deleted member 512337]

Still looks shitty.

How is it over analyzing anything with they said u choose items to attack with preceded to show mario jumping? They never once use the words abilities and skills. Only items. it’s clear the translators of the chinese and japan trailers were wrong. It’s sticker star like situation all over again. They even pointed out only some partners will join in some battles. Nintendo aren’t stupid, they held back the full battle system from English speaking regions for a month to get early pre orders. Knowing full well only their hardcore fans from Japan would like it. this was clearly a bait and switch move from nintendo.
