Issue 190 — July 19, 2020

Paper Mario

Hi, issue #190 of your weekly round-up here, with the Nintendo news you need to see.

Paper Mario is here, and well, take a shot for every review you read which mentions The Thousand Year Door. ๐Ÿฅด The game has reviewed well, with some reservations around the ring-based battle system, but plenty of positive comments about the writing. I've not picked it up yet, but plan to soon. 

Over 20 games games dropping on the eShop next week, including Crysis and Carrion.

Thanks for reading,
Chris โœŒ๏ธ

REVIEW Paper Mario: The Origami King - a heartfelt creation that doesn't quite stand up "The Origami King does offer a few welcome concessions to its RPG roots, but it also shies away from growing these further over the course of the game, struggling to ever emerge truly distinct".

Tom Phillips // Eurogamer 

INTERVIEW Paper Mario’s development team lays it all out — Nintendo and Intelligent Systems discuss the making of The Origami King and the challenge of reinventing a decades-old series.

Andy Robinson // VGC

โ–ถ The future of Paper Mario— Xander Morningstar speaks to André Segers of Gamexplain to talk about the series history, how Paper Mario: The Origami King stacks up to it's predecessors, and where the series can go from here.

Nintendo World Report // YouTube

REVIEW Rez Plz — A puzzle platformer best experienced in co-op.

Neal Ronaghan // Nintendo World Report

The power of a map— Nintendo sure do know how to make a good in-game map.
