Nintendo dropped a surprise trailer this morning and announced the next Paper Mario game. Paper Mario: The Origami King<\/strong> game launches exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on July 17th.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s one tiny wrinkle in the festivities, though: Princess Peach seems a little strange. It seems as if King Olly, who claims to be the ruler of the Origami Kingdom, has hatched a devious plot that endangers everything Mario holds dear. It looks pretty dangerous on paper, so someone who\u2019s a cut above the rest is needed to save the day!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cPaper Mario: The Origami King delivers a grand new adventure on Nintendo Switch for players to wrap themselves up in,\u201d said Nick Chavez, Nintendo of America\u2019s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. \u201cThis game marks the debut of the Paper Mario series on Nintendo Switch, expanding the vast library of games with another standout entry in a beloved franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019t get worse, he\u2019s bound Princess Peach\u2019s Castle in giant, colored streamers and transported it to a distant mountain. He\u2019s even transformed Bowser\u2019s minions into Folded Soldiers and enlisted them in his treacherous cause.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Mario is equipped with a range of new tools at his disposal to help secure victory. One of Mario\u2019s 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\u2019ll enlist the help of characters old and new, such as King Olly\u2019s good-natured sister, Olivia, along with a range of unlikely allies, including Bowser himself! If they haven\u2019t yet folded to the whims of King Olly\u2019s origami will, Mario will accept all the help he can find with open arms!<\/p>\n

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\u2019ll require a sharp mind to make short work of these crafty enemies.<\/p>\n

With a detail-rich world to explore, off-the-wall mini-game events and countless mysteries waiting to be solved, the next joyful Mario adventure on Nintendo Switch is ready to deliver huge helpings of crafts and laughs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Paper Mario: The Origami King<\/em> launches in stores, in Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch and on Nintendo.com on July 17th at a suggested retail price of $79.99 CAD. For those who want to begin their adventure as soon as the game launches, pre-purchase is now available.<\/p>\n
