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.”

Here’s the full roundup:

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.

The original Atelier Ryza made it to Switch in 2019. Based on that, as well as Koei Tecmo and Gust’s support of the system, Atelier Ryza 2 should be on Nintendo’s console as well.

Stay tuned for an official announcement in the future.

The LEGO NES lets fans create “a mechanically functional version of an all-time favorite console with LEGO bricks.” It features a controller with a connecting cable and plug, an opening slot for the Game Pak with a locking feature, and a buildable retro TV. LEGO Mario can also be scanned so that the character “reacts to on-screen enemies, obstacles and power-ups just as he would have in the iconic Super Mario Bros. game.”
