On May 14th, 2020, Nintendo surprisingly announced a new Switch title out of nowhere, Paper Mario: The Origami King!
So what do we know about this installment of the Paper Mario franchise? Well, we can’t tell how the battle system plays like yet given how short the gameplay segment featuring it was. However, what we do know is that there’s a heavy focus on origami like the title implies, it’s seemingly ever-present in both the plot and gameplay elements. The story revolves around Mario’s quest to stop a fellow named King Olly from turning his world into an origami-fied version of itself. Then on the gameplay side of things you have stuff ranging from origami enemies to the absolute madness that is Mario’s new arm power.
Seriously, look at how crazy these arms are!
Author's Note: Admittedly, I was hoping the next Paper Mario game would be a return to the original formula, however I also think it's important to not judge a game just because it's different, especially when we know so little about it! And, I've gotta say, the game's aesthetics look absolutely gorgeous. Anyway though, what do you think about it? Excited, not so excited? Please let us know in the comments below!
