Paper Mario: The Origami King announced for July 17 (RPG battles confirmed)
- Thread starter Deleted member 2791

Game's apparently been chilling on Nintendo's servers for a while now, no wonder information about it leaked.
I wonder how much press people know about the game if they've been implying for a while that this is a return to form. A lot of people are already quick to argue it has nothing in common with the OG Paper Mario games and everything in common with Color Splash/Sticker Star.

In the video there are at least 3 partners shown following Mario around- Captain/Explorer Toad, folded Bowser and the bob-omb. In the screenshots shown in the video below we can also see Kamek doing that.

There is a clip of the bomb following Mario around, but it seems like that's just for general exploring we don't see them ever in combat.
This is the worst "breaks immersion" complaint I've ever read.
This actually looks like it combines the two philosophies. Taking what did work about SS and CS, and tossing out much of the stuff that didn't, as well as bringing back elements from the old games. At the very least, it could be solid middle ground between the two like what Super Paper Mario was.
You said nothing wrong. You specifically said their critical reception so whether you played the games or not doesn't matter. In fact not playing the games actually probably gives you a better place to make judgement seeing as its free from bias and hatred of the last few games
I wouldn't say it "breaks immersion" for me, but I do vastly prefer the storybook look of 64 and TTYD over the papercraft EVERYTHING IS PAPER LET'S JOKE ABOUT PAPER look of Sticker Star onward.

Damn, sorry. I apologize, hadn't seen the images! Looks like you're right, they do look like partners in there.
Looks brilliant and it seems I chose a great time to get back to Nintendo with my lovely little Switch Lite. I've loved nearly all the Paper Mario games - including Color Splash (great game). It's only Sticker Star that's dogshit.
If someone can translate everything on this, that'll be good.
From top to bottom on the left:
Action
L Weapon Item R
Mario's Boots
Mario's Hammer
+ Equipment
With "Jump" on the enemy:
Trample on
Normal boots
From left to right on the bottom:
- help (L) Action selection <-(L)-> Enemy selection (R) Camera (A) Decide
Then all the boxes on the right say "Kuribo", or Goomba.
The toad in the back is yelling "Ice flower!"

lol, the setting and characters are paper in this paper mario, boo!
Your orignal post to me was "but these are good games" without any hint at "alright" or "vacuum" or even metacritic.
They are judging the game based on what we see and what we got the last 2 times.
I'm just a fan of the first three games. I don't spend time thinking about the series other than announcement threads etc.
If this ends up a great game, great! I won't hold it against it. I'm an analytical thinker and a realist, though. It's not in my nature to be super-optimistic (or to enjoy being optimistic).
This thread is so grim lol. What a fantastic trailer, can't believe this game is coming out so soon.
It's all still just generic mario characters though. Thousand Year Door and PM64 both had really unique characters made for those games, I've seen maybe 2 of those for this game? Think about all the unique races of characters we got in TTYD, we're seemingly getting none of that in this one.
I'd certainly prefer the Koopalings were in here as partners!
No worries, it happens.
But yeah so far we haven't seen partners in combat, which would be disappointing if that was the case. Though Nintendo does like to hold off on showing some game mechanics during game reveals in order to generate more hype later on.
Honestly, anyone suspicious of this game is probably right to be. After two games with incredibly mediocre gameplay, being unconvinced is probably the best call.
While i completely understand (and im with those people 100%) the partners "missing" (in this game, the other 2 htey were really missing), the generic everything and no RPG elemts are totally killing the franchise, I will never understand people feeling that everything looking like real paper and cardboard, even the scenery, is a bad thing. It looks incredible, and im sure if the older paper marios would be remade with the paper textures, they would look fucking beautiful. I like that the enemies look like origami, its a cool thing to have in paper mario. If only it came with an ungeneric mario style...
I would kill if Koizumi would be the producer of everything Mario instead of "miyamotwannabe" Tanabe

Theres a scene or one of those small videos someone posted here with the bobomb character floowing mario on the tall grass map. But yeah, im with you, they dont seem like they will be complete partners like in the old games.
I've said this before, but it's almost "too paper-y" for me. I know that sounds ridiculous for a series called Paper Mario, but I don't really like the Tearaway-esque style they've been moving towards. It still looks great, though. The design of the town is certainly eye-catching.
I'm cautiously optimistic. Extremely large emphasis on "cautiously."
'Generic' designs of characters and a gimmicky battle system aren't my first choice. I remain hopefully it's good, but damn I've been burned by Paper Mario for three games now.
Just please make one like the first two. If this game is that, great! But, I'm not sure yet based off of the trailer. Time will tell. It's definitely not an obvious "return to form" some insiders were saying.

Thanks a lot for the reminder.
I see it's getting a switch release in a few weeks, I'll wait for that I think.
Not that anyone is surprised but just to note:
No sign of Races/enemies that originated in Paper Mario
As in, were created for Paper Mario.
Cleft
Koopatrol
Yux
Bub-ulbs
Doogans
Punies
and oh yeah
Kammy Koopa
She's been killed off the franchise that she was created for and was a main character, for a more boring replacement in Kamek.
Just, why?
But hey, no Koopa Kids so far, that's a plus.

Which will still be bad because not much about Sticker Star / Color Splash was good beyond I guess graphics and locations and writing, which are all things that TTYD did just as well on top of having a much more focused direction of being an RPG with an involving story.
what you call "hatred" is just experience. When cgatto sees a battle without partners and sees nothing wrong with it, that's not better judgment than someone who played the earlier games and know swhat that implies for the combat.
"the less youn know about something the better your take" is some weird ass logic lol.
game looks great, sheesh paper mario fanboys are agonizingly unpleasant. I loved the first two games too, and this looks like it'll be a great game. I just don't get it.
Ironically that would've been the way to have "unique" (but not new) partner designs, while keeping with the "Bowser's Army" theme and "established characters only" thing.
So of course it wasn't done, hoho.
Well, apologies. A "good" game to me meant one that has a Meta score of, I dunno, 70 or above, which I would have explained if asked (and I did). They both fit the bill. Plenty of games in that category I hate that I wouldn't call bad just because I don't like them.
my first and only thoughts. hoping that multicore can get this running at 100% straight out the gate.
That's... not what that says.
That says the game has been fully uploaded onto their servers for the past 2 weeks, meaning it was fully done at least 2 weeks ago.
I wish Nintendo would release those games so more people could experience them for the first time.
Unpopular opinion but it looks too similar to CS, I really like clean splits when we're talking NIntendo franchises that aren't yearly, this visually looks like CS2. Also I hate the white outline on characters, get rid of that please.
Looks like I'll be in the minority thinking these look kind of messy and garish.
The Tearaway-ish style is great, the problem is that Tearaway already did it better than this game is doing it. Hell, I'd say even Yoshi's Crafted World looks way better.
