Paper Mario: The Origami King

As part of a new interview with VGC, Paper Mario: The Origami King producer Kensuke Tanabe and assistant producer Risa Tabata have weighed in on fans’ reception to the series starting with Sticker Star.

Tabata said that the team avoids using the same idea twice since they want to “create new gameplay” and offer players “positive surprises”. Tanabe noted that he does check out some fan opinions after a game launches, but with cases in which he “can’t address those opinions exactly as fans want”, he tries to pursue “new, fun ideas.” Tanabe ultimately said “it’s difficult to satisfy certain fans with the adventure game direction if they think of Paper Mario games as simply being RPGs.”

Paper Mario: The Origami King

Paper Mario: The Origami King producer Kensuke Tanabe has shared some interesting insight into how he’s approached the series in recent years.

Speaking with VCG, Kensuke was asked about how he ensures that the story of Paper Mario appeals to a broad audience. He revealed that Super Paper Mario had an “elaborate story” which “led the game away from the Mario universe”, so he’s avoided “using stories that are too complicated” since Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

Tanabe’s full words:

Fire Emblem Heroes is hosting multiple events starting today.

A new Summoning Focus has arrived, Summoning Focus: Heroes with Moonbow. Lysithea: Child Prodigy, Tsubasa: Madcap Idol, and Gerik: Desert Tiger are available as part of this 5-star summoning event focused on heroes with Moonbow. Additionally, heroes with Moonbow treat their foe’s Def/Res stats as if they were reduced by 30% during combat. This event will be available until July 25.

The Brace phase for Mjolnir’s Strike 28 begins today. All players are tasked with cooperating to protect the Kingdom of Askr from the advancing army of the god of War, Thorr. This Strike is led by Panne: Proud Taguel. The Brace phase will last until July 17, with the entire Strike ending July 20.

Lastly, a new map has been added to Tactics Drills, Heirs and Teachers (Grandmaster, Infernal).
