What the hell?? Out of nowhere?

It looks great, like going back to the roots of Paper Mario

And there's a hint about Metroid something in the end, right? RIGHT???

Looks great! I also saw what looks like a traditional Paper Mario attack so I'm extra hype for that.

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.

Can't tell if turn based Paper Mario gameplay or not.

Looks really creative but I'm not buying unless we get solid RPG gameplay.

Looks like they are leaning into the paper once again. I much prefer when it was an artsyle and wasn't part of the plot or gameplay.

The game looks really pretty, and it looks like partners and turn based combat are in. Still looks like we have generic character designs and I'm not a fan of the paper aspect still being the series focus, but I'm cautiously optimistic.

Looks like they dropped the bad colour splash combat, so this might actually be solid. Color splash was fun outside of battles, but battles were such a large part of the game. :I

Think it looks generally worse with the bigger focus on 3D locales and characters. Worried they didn't show any real combat, though seeing it in a trailer wouldn't have really convinced me that aspect would be fine anyway, since the real rotten part the last few games has been the progression.

Overall cautious with super low expectations so I'm not disappointed again.

EDIT: The circle thing that looks like a dungeon gimmick is the combat system?

:/
