Paper Mario: The Origami King announced

Coming July 17 to Switch

Well, it ain’t a Nintendo Direct, but it’s a new game announcement. Nintendo has just revealed Paper Mario: The Origami King for the Nintendo Switch, coming July 17th.

The game features Mario and new sidekick Olivia as they ally with Bowser, the Toads and more to take on King Olly, who’s ravaging the Mushroom Kingdom and has Princess Peach’s castle under siege.

The game mixes elements of past Paper Mario games with the action RPG mechanics of Mario & Luigi games, giving the hero long extendable arms to battle enemies on the field.

And, the end has some sort of Metroid tease…?
