April Fools’ Day can be a tricky thing. Sometimes you aren’t quite sure what is and what isn’t true, but a new announcement made by Nintendo today is apparently being considered the real deal. We’ll let you know if we hear otherwise.

A look at some Pauline concept art in Super Mario Odyssey
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A soundtrack for Super Mario Odyssey was recently offered in Japan. Aside from including several discs and stickers, it also contained a special booklet with concept art focused on Pauline – see below. We’re also able to get insight into Nintendo’s thinking for the character.
Mayor Pauline usually wears a pants suit. But when she is singing Jump Up, Super Star!, she wears a gorgeous dress which excites the usually cool New Donkers. Pauline is a character with history, so while keeping her original traits intact, Nintendo made a new design for her which fits the world setting of Super Mario Odyssey. The team solidified her image by drawing rough sketches of her various costumes, although they don’t appear in the game.

Okami HD will release on Switch this summer. On Nintendo’s console, Capcom is implementing a couple of unique control schemes.
When playing in portable mode, the touchscreen can be used to draw brushstrokes. You can also use the Joy-Con controller’s motion controls in TV or Tabletop mode by moving it in the desired pattern, just like a paintbrush.
We have a brief video showing the touchscreen functionality below.
