[infinitys_7th]

This looks promising! I hope the battle system is decent - it sounds like it will be kind of like Radiant Historia or something where you manipulate enemy positions to line them up for attacks, but it just has a single paragraph on it and no vids.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Boom. Guess this would have been an E3 thing?

 

[engstra]

that's releasing soon! sweet!

 

[Jooxed]

Evidently digital pre-loads are coming up already.

 

[Andyliini]

Talk about shadow drops

 

[diffusionx]

Holy shit, MEGATON

 

[Dr. Claus]

Boom. Guess this would have been an E3 thing?

Possibly. Could also have been something that was going to be announced a month or two ago, but got delayed by Covid-19.

Either way, the game looks really freakin' good. More hyped for this than I am Ghost of Tsuhima, tbh. And I fucking love me some feudal japanese samurai. Wouldn't surprise me if they planned to shadow drop the announcement today because of that. Given the similar release windows and announcement of gameplay today for GoT.

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Wow came out of nowhere love it. Day 1 and looks amazing

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I hope that all they do today is drop twitter stuff like this in place of the direct that got postponed.

I would shed a tear.....

 

[ManaByte]

Now surprise drop the Super Mario Galaxy collection.

 

[Nankatsu]

Looks pretty cool if you ask me.

 

[Chastten]

Looks great! And love how this comes out of nowhere and releases in like 3 months. Wish all companies did that.

Just hoping for a decent battle system now as that'll make or break the game for me.

 

[Malakhov]

That was weird as fuck

 

[That Damn Kid]

Nintendo is going to release a Metroid trailer out of nowhere too aren't they...

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Gorgeous looking game.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Nintendo is going to release a Metroid trailer out of nowhere too aren't they...

No. That is all you get from Metroid for the rest of the year. See you next year for a new teaser of Metroid Prime 4!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

they are just gonna do Metroid fans dirty like that with a tease?

 

[That Damn Kid]

19 second clip of the battle system

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Looks charming. The last Paper Mario didn't really capture me but let's see if this one does.

Low-key hoping for the first "console" Mario & Luigi RPG to show up on the Switch.

 

[God Enel]

Love the clean graphics. Never played a Mario rpg but this looks absolutely beautiful.

 

[Andyliini]

Low-key hoping for the first "console" Mario & Luigi RPG to show up on the Switch.

Sadly, AlphaDream seems to be no more. I wonder if someone else might pick up reigns for them.

 

[its_Ditz]

[JimboJones]

Wtf July 2020! Was thinking October or something
"Hey guys have a Paper Mario Lolz, bye"

 

[Shaqazooloo]

Looks good, might be the first Paper Mario game I get.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

cool i always hear about the Paper Mario games but never played one myself. now that i have a Switch i'll have to check this out

 

[Ten_Fold]

Day one, but damn this game coming out much earlier than expected. Guess they needed something in the summer. Cool with me.

 

[nicktwilight]

The battle system and an original plot with new charachters will make or break this game.Visually it surely looks great .Out of nowhere announcement and the game comes out pretty soon too.

 

[Jooxed]

They know what they did with that Metroid helmet at the end.

 

[ManaByte]

Nintendo is going to release a Metroid trailer out of nowhere too aren't they...

They'll drop a Metroid trailer.

A Metroid Prime Trilogy trailer.

 

[Dr. Claus]

They'll drop a Metroid trailer.

A Metroid Prime Trilogy trailer.

I mean, you say that like its a *bad* thing. I would kill to have Metroid Prime on the go.

 

[ManaByte]

I mean, you say that like its a *bad* thing. I would kill to have Metroid Prime on the go.

It's not a bad thing. It's just like when people were expecting FFVII Remake and Square-Enix dropped a port of the original and laughed.

 

[Scotty W]

They also did a surprise release of Super Paper Mario long ago.

Anyone got some reaction videos to this trailer drop for me to loathe?

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Looks great!!!!

 

[Vawn]

Looks amazing. I'll be there day three (because we will still be on our Hawaii trip on release date).

 

[Ogbert]

Sweet. Looks great.

 

[Maestr0]

Nintendo is going to release a Metroid trailer out of nowhere too aren't they...

Nintendo, stop playing with my feelings !!!

 

[HotPocket69]

Hoping this is more like TTYD and less like Color Splash and Sticker Star.

Same release day as Ghosts of Sushi too.

 

[Macapala]

19 second clip of the battle system

This video only shows a basic example, but it looks like the battle system could have a decent amount strategy behind it. *Fingers crossed*

 

[Codes 208]

Hoping this is more like TTYD and less like Color Splash and Sticker Star.

Same. But after SS and mario & luigi paper jam, Im content with anything at this point.

 

[Moogle11]

Nice surprise announcement! Hope it turns out well.

 

[Vawn]

This video only shows a basic example, but it looks like the battle system could have a decent amount strategy behind it. *Fingers crossed*

At the very least, it shows it has an actual RPG battle system. It was starting to look like Paper Mario would turn into just another Mario 2D platformer.

 

[Jooxed]

 

[Vawn]

Remember all those leaks/rumors:

- Mario 64 Remaster/Remake
- Mario Sunshine Remaster
- Mario Galaxy Remaster
- Mario 3D World Switch Port/Remaster
- NEW Paper Mario game

I'd say it's just a matter of time for the rest of that list now.

 

[fallingdove]

Looks like a lot of fun. Just started replaying Super Mario RPG - I need more of these games in my life.

 

[jts]

That’s why it’s always funny when people say Nintendo doesn’t have anything else for the rest of the year. They develop games without giving notice and sit on a ton of stuff, and can just release on a whim.

 

[Thurible]

Whoa, this came out of nowhere! I'm liking how it looks so far. Is it going to have the card based gameplay of color splash or go traditional?

EDIT: Battle system looks like neither of the above. You have to line up enemies and it takes place in a circle? Can enemies advance on their place in the circle and are there ways to attack them from different positions?

 

[Camreezie]

Looks awesome, never played a Paper Mario but I'm in

 

[TLZ]

YES!
