Over the past few months, many rumors have predicted the arrival of a new chapter in the saga of Paper Mario, obviously for the Nintendo Switch hybrid console. Finally, the Japanese company has provided us with solid facts on the matter, revealing today Paper Mario: The Origami King, and also promising a pretty close release date for the game. The work will in fact make its debut in physical and digital format, on the day of July 17 2020, extremely close and surprising considering the timing related to the coronavirus.
We are talking about a game that carries on its shoulders the burden of continuing a spin-off saga rather loved by the community, which has seen the plumber and all the characters of his world offer a particular and varied gameplay, no doubt often revolutionary under 2.5D. It goes without saying that the landing on the hybrid console offers a sea of unexplored potential, which could make the saga very memorable even in 2020. Paper Mario: The Origami King could in fact exploit some of the peculiarity of Nintendo Switch, other than the very useful and envied portability. The various puzzles varied between 3D and 2D can also count on greater computing power and an evolved maturity of the development team, at least compared to the last episode of Paper Mario: Color Splash which saw the light in the now distant 2006.
Through the video on the cover of the article, recently uploaded on the official youtube channels of Nintendo, small pieces of gameplay have been officially unveiled, and we know what we can expect in this regard. The colorful and gaudy graphic sector has also made a beautiful figure, and we can't wait to see its rendering on the screens of our consoles. We therefore hope that the game will surprise us when we have the opportunity to get involved: we will update you on our pages as soon as more information about Paper Mario: The Origami King is revealed!
