PR - Paper Mario: The Origami King Unfolds for Nintendo Switch on July 17

Paper Mario: The Origami King Delivers a Comedy-Filled Journey Packed With Puzzles, Strategic Ring-Based Battles, Quirky Characters and Stunning Visuals

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Looking to add an extra dimension to your adventures? Are you ready for your fun to in-crease tenfold? Well, a special invitation to a colorful, paper-crafted world has arrived. Princess Peach is welcoming Mario and Luigi to attend the kingdom's origami festival when the Paper Mario: The Origami King game launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch family of systems on July 17.

Mario faces one of his most thrilling challenges yet in Paper Mario: The Origami King when the dangerous King Olly unleashes his plan to fold the entire world. Just when matters couldn't get worse, he's bound Princess Peach's Castle in giant, colored 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. One of Mario's new abilities, called 1000-Fold Arms, allows you to interact with the landscape by stretching out and pulling, peeling and revealing new locations, helping you to solve puzzles and uncover unexpected surprises. Along the way, you'll enlist the help of characters old and new, such as King Olly's good-natured sister, Olivia, along with a range of unlikely allies, including Bowser himself! If they haven't yet folded to the whims of King Olly's origami will, Mario will accept all the help he can find with open arms!

Paper Mario: The Origami King also introduces a new ring-based battle system that lets you flex your puzzle-solving skills to line up scattered enemies and maximize 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.

Short showcase of the new turn-based battle system;

July? Uh oh. I hope it's better than Color Splash.

Edit, watched the trailer. Reminds me of Super Paper Mario.

I'm cautiously optimistic. The humor seems tk be there.

Hopefully IS learned from CS and SS not to use the card battle system.

Hopefully the fact that they are announcing it barely 2 months before it's release date means the game is 100% finished and it's not getting delayed.

Wish more games were like this tbh!
