There's a new Paper Mario game, which got a trailer shadow-dropped by Nintendo today. Titled Paper Mario: The Origami King, it features the paper style you're used to, mixed in with origami crafts. In the trailer, you can see various worlds Mario must explore, along with partners, some game mechanics, and even the battle system. Nintendo claims that The Origami King will be a comedic adventure starring familiar faces with a new look. The game will be releasing for the Nintendo Switch on July 17th.

14th May, 2020 – Are you ready for your fun to in-crease tenfold? Well, a special invitation to a colourful, paper-crafted world has arrived. Join Princess Peach, Mario and Luigi in attending the kingdom’s origami festival when Paper Mario: The Origami King launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on 17th July. There’s one tiny wrinkle in the festivities, though: Princess Peach seemed to be acting a little strange lately. To learn more about her mysterious behaviour, check out the Paper Mario: The Origami King - Arriving July 17th! (Nintendo Switch) trailer on the Nintendo YouTube channel. Also, early purchasers can pre-load the game today from Nintendo eShop.

It seems as if King Olly – who claims to be the ruler of the Origami Kingdom – has hatched a devious plot in unleashing his plan to fold the entire world. It looks pretty dangerous on paper, so someone who’s a cut above the rest is needed to save the day! In Paper Mario: The Origami King Mario faces one of his most thrilling challenges yet. Just when matters couldn’t get worse, King Olly has bound Princess Peach’s Castle in giant, coloured streamers and transported it to a distant mountain. He’s even transformed Bowser’s minions into Folded Soldiers and enlisted them in his treacherous cause.

Luckily, Mario is equipped with a range of new tools at his disposal to help secure victory. A new ability called 1000-Fold Arms allows players to interact with the landscape by stretching out and pulling, peeling and revealing new locations, helping you solve puzzles and uncover unexpected surprises. Along the way, players will enlist the help of allies old and new, such as King Olly’s very own good-natured sister, Olivia, along with a range of unlikely allies. Even Bowser himself hasn’t yet folded to the whims of King Olly’s origami will, and Mario will accept all the help he can find with open arms!

Paper Mario: The Origami King introduces a new ring-based battle system that allows players to flex their puzzle-solving skills to line up scattered enemies and maximise damage. While the enemies may be crafted from paper, these dynamic, turn-based battles are far from stationary. It’ll require a sharp mind to make short work of these crafty enemies.

With a detail-rich world to explore, off-the-wall mini-game events and countless mysteries waiting to be solved, the next joyful Mario adventure on Nintendo Switch is ready to deliver huge helpings of laughs.

Early purchasers can pre-load the game today from Nintendo eShop. With so many titles available on Nintendo Switch, using Nintendo eShop’s Wish List function can be a good way to keep track of them. Now, to make it even more convenient, it’s possible to access, manage and add games to a Nintendo Switch Wish List via the official Nintendo website. Find out more on this new feature on the Nintendo Switch Wish List page via our website.

Who the hell even asked for this crap? I'm actually dumbfound right now

 

[Mr.Faq2015]

Meh. Not trusting

 

[DANTENDO]

Cool game or whatever but DOES THAT THING AT THE END MEAN ANYTHING FOR METROID OR WAs it just for funnies???

Yeh mayb the next thing nintendo show is a trailer of tht samus appearing and everyone thinking shit its prime 4 but then it appears as the trilogy remasters which is no bad thing though

 

[Deleted member 397813]

I am both excited, and some what worried.

With what nintendo has been doing to paper mario recently, i can only hope that this'll be good.

 

[Pokemon_Tea_Sea_Jee]

bringing the stickers back, overexaggerating the paper artstyle, mario still has a 2 frame walk cycle...
And now this new ring battle system
the only way you could be hyped for this is if you're blinded by nostalgia- there's no way nintendo isn't going to screw up this next game

The ring thing proves it to already be a real mess up.

 

[Teletron1]

Well part 1 to the supposed Mario Anniversary start
Hopefully it does go back to the roots of a more RPG style keeping the fingers crossed

also love the name and the sound is top notch very cinematic once again

 

[smilodon]

It is like Pokémon, people will buy it because "maybe it will be good this time".

 

[raxadian]

Now.... whatever happened to that supposed Mario & Luigi RPG for the Switch?

 

[Plasmaster09]

Who the hell even asked for this crap? I'm actually dumbfound right now

boi people been asking for a new Paper Mario game without the sticker system since Sticker Star came out
you're ignoring an entire fanbase

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It is like Pokémon, people will buy it because "maybe it will be good this time".

Hi! Would you be willing to take my survey on the reasons behind blind and unhelpful hate?

 

[playstays_shun]

So are we optimistic or pessimistic about this release? in general?

and is TTYD the GoAT?

 

[Silent_Gunner]

Please let this have a normal battle system

EDIT: sigh

Uhhh..."ring-based?"

Don't tell me you use fucking hula-hoops as weapons! XD

 

[proffk]

Looks interesting but not sure about the battle system.

 

[frankGT]

OMG! Yesss! Finally! And only 2 months away ...

I'm ready, my switch is ready, my sd card is ready, my internet is ready...

Love this series, even loved color splash despite the battle system, this seems to have gone in a more interesting direction regarding that, so... no more spoiling! Cant wait.

Edit: So much negativity, you guys haven't even played it, assume positive unless proven negative, not the other way around.

 

[KingVamp]

The circle looks big enough for more than just Mario, so hopefully playable partners are the case.

Anyway, I wonder if the M&L RPG guys helped with this game.

 

[Plasmaster09]

Uhhh..."ring-based?"

Don't tell me you use fucking hula-hoops as weapons! XD

...no.
IDK if this was a joke but the ring system seems neat.
Mario's in the middle, and around you are four concentric rings, each with ten spots for enemies.
You get chances to rotate the rings to line up enemies for increased damage as well as getting to attack more enemies in a turn.
Aside from that it's basically the classic RPG system.

1) wow you sure are being rather extreme over one specific thing you wanted and didn't get
2) dude this basically is the standard battle system but with a new thing that ADDS to it

 

[Bladexdsl]

from the trailer on its own it does look like a step in the right direction at least. Though I personally am going to wait for the reviews on this one.
