The rumors were therefore true: after the Color Splash opus on Wii U in 2016, the Paper Mario franchise will return, this year, with Paper Mario: The Origami King. Freshly unveiled thanks to a trailer, Paper Mario: The Origami King already has a release date: it will be July 17, 2020 on Nintendo Switch, pre-orders are already launched on the eShop for $ 59.99.

For this new adventure, Mario will have to face the terrible King Olly and his paper warriors to save Princess Peach, transformed into origami, as well as her castle. The plumber will be able to count on the help of "long-time allies" and his new partner Olivia, the antagonist's sister, endowed with "origami powers" such as the Multi-folded Arms, a capacity that allows you to push or take off certain parts of the decor to reveal secrets or solve puzzles. Bowser, whose henchmen have been transformed into "origuerriers" devoted to the cause of Olly, will also help.

There is also something new in turn-based combat with a system of arenas composed of rings that must be rotated to properly position the enemies and maximize the effects of your attacks. As illustrated in this video , it will be possible, for example, to align four enemies so that Mario jumps on them with a chain.

The release of a new Paper Mario was recalled at the end of March by several media . The rumor also announced the arrival of remasters of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Switch, and a Deluxe version for Super Mario 3D World, just to celebrate the 35 years of the plumber.
