Paper Mario: The Origami King is a cross-genre video game, developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo; it released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch console in July 2020. The story follows Mario, teaming up with the new ally Olivia, to prevent the Mushroom Kingdom from being transformed and folded entirely into origami. The land is designed to look entirely like paper with multiple open world areas allowing for exploration. Turn-based combat is organized into circular rings, which can be rotated to line up enemies to deal more damage. The producer, Kensuke Tanabe (pictured), assuming he could not satisfy every fan, opted for entirely new gameplay and concepts compared to previous games in the series. The game received generally positive reviews, being praised for its graphics, writing, and characters and critiqued for the lack of other role-playing game elements, such as experience points. Reception on gameplay, mainly the puzzle-style combat, was mixed. (Full article...)

Harizotoh9, Wehwalt was considering this to appear March 8th, meaning if this is to be official there's over a four-month gap between the most recent game on the front page. Also, reruns exist so we don't run out of these games to feature. Panini🥪 17:33, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
