crispy4000 Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 YouTube: Quote A new paper-crafted Mario adventure unfolds on Nintendo Switch! The kingdom has been ravaged by an origami menace! Join Mario and his new partner, Olivia, as they battle evil Folded Soldiers, repair the damaged landscape, and try to free Princess Peach’s castle from the clutches of King Olly in this comedy-filled adventure, only on the Nintendo Switch™ system. Mario and Luigi receive an invitation from Princess Peach to attend an origami festival and excitedly hurry to Toad Town…but something’s amiss. After investigating the eerily empty town, the duo finds a fearsome (and folded) Princess Peach—she’s been turned into origami by King Olly, ruler of the Origami Kingdom! With five giant streamers under his control, King Olly binds Princess Peach’s Castle and transports it to a distant mountain as part of his plan to re-fold the world. On his journey to liberate Peach’s Castle and repair the ravaged paper landscape, Mario meets Olivia, King Olly’s sister, and the two join forces to put a stop to Olly’s origami onslaught. Even Bowser falls victim to Olly’s plot when his minions are turned into origami Folded Soldiers and betray their Koopa king, forcing him to ally with Mario and Olivia! Battle the Folded Soldiers in ring-based battles that challenge you to strategically line up enemies to maximize damage! Out of battle, Mario can use the arm-extending 1,000-Fold Arms ability in specific spots to interact with the landscape to pull, peel, hit, and more! Join Mario, Olivia, and their companions on a journey of laughter and emotion, thrills, and a whole lot of folding. 2 Quote
XxEvil AshxX Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I'm not feeling it. Mario being the only 2D object just looks off. Quote

There’s other characters that are also 2D. What I’m hoping for more is the creativity we saw in TTYD. Love the hook here personally. It’s not nearly as jarring as Paper Jam on 3DS.

EternallDarkness Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 saw the news earlier on twitter, looks fun Quote
Bjomesphat Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Finally it looks like they're going back to the Paper Mario roots. Quote

Paperclyp Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 Does it show what the combat is like? TTYD is one of my favorite RPGs, but they lost me when they went another direction with the combat. Quote

Brian Posted May 14, 2020 Posted May 14, 2020 I have only played Sticker Star and that game was boring af. Quote

The Thousands Year Door was a phenomenal game. Easily my favorite Mario RPG. It just sucks we haven't gotten a similar game some way back when. Quote

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted May 15, 2020 Posted May 15, 2020 I have all the games in this series, but never played one. Quote
crispy4000 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Posted July 1, 2020 Quote These bosses aren’t just waiting in one location for Mario to find them. Instead, they’re scattered around the world. That creates a striking visual, as players can see the streamers far in the distance, while also giving them a hint as to where their next challenge lies. One of the biggest departures with The Origami King is that the story isn’t chapter-focused as past games have been. Instead, players can travel from region to region seamlessly in an open-world setup. “One major feature that makes the world where this adventure takes place special is that there are huge maps to explore at every turn,” says Masahiko Magaya, director at Intelligent Systems. “Because the game is laid out this way, we were careful during the design phase to make sure there is always something in the player’s field of vision to catch their attention.” https://www.gameinformer.com/preview/2020/06/30/a-new-crease-on-life-nintendo-shares-insight-on-paper-marios-latest-adventure More in the article Quote
Xbob42 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Sounds interesting, but I remain really worried about that combat. Color Splash had a huge issue where basic attacks took a million fucking years and this doesn't seem to be alleviating that. Lots of stage manipulation could create an issue if battles are too frequent or enemies take a long time to kill. It worked alright for Radiant Historia, so I'm not as worried as I'd otherwise be. Everything besides the combat looks to be very interesting and hopefully very fun. I've never liked any Paper Mario game as much as good ol' Super Mario RPG or the Mario & Luigi games, but especially lately they've been god awful. Would be delighted if that finally changed. Quote
Brian Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Paper Mario Gameplay on MSN - AOL on. 1990s are back baby! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/paper-mario-the-origami-king-10-minutes-of-gameplay/vi-BB16viCW Quote
Xbob42 Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Looks like we got another Paper Mario with no battle-based progression. No experience or other similar rewards from battle, just coins. Outside of basic jump/hammer, all weapons have durability/are consumable. I'm hoping this isn't another Color Splash. I fucking despised that game. At least this time around we get an infinite basic attack, so that's good. Going against the grain just for the hell of it is not on its own good or innovative design. But I'm holding out hope that it'll be better than Color Splash in terms of actual fun. Using attacks in Color Splash was a tedious orgy of extraneous trash. As long as I can keep earning now core abilities or other fun gameplay additions over time, I'll be fine. And as long as the world isn't just an army of palette-swapped Toads. Oh, and no luck-based rock-paper-scissors arena mini-game. Yuck. Quote
Paperclyp Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 God damnit. Pass. Such promise after the thousand year door and they just mail it in with this series. Quote
crispy4000 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Posted July 9, 2020 Waiting for the reviews as always with this series since its heyday. Though it is good to hear from someone who actually played Color Splash. I’d be tempted to pick it up if I ever found a crazy bargain. Quote
Remarkableriots Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 I would get it if they ever bump up supply of Switches. Quote

stepee Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Now that more reviews are in there’s more scores 90 or above than below 80, 81 meta ntb! Day fucking one fo sho. Quote
crispy4000 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 Sounds like it's still not fully 'RPG,' but they've made a much better game here than the last two entries. Quote
