Paper Mario: The Origami King

[Neon Ignition]

Definitely gets its own thread because at this point Nintendo having a major new game for Switch's release schedule is becoming a rarer event.

The new ring based battle system:

Hope this is more like the N64 and GameCube Paper Marios than the half-baked rubbish the series has given us since!

Pre order in

If it's anything like the first two games in the series, I'm all over this. If it's like Sticker Star, Colour Splash or Super Paper Mario... less so.

First Paper Mario game that I've ever had any interest in playing, tbh.

Oh, forgot about that one. Whoops. Never played that one, to be honest.
