Earlier this May Nintendo went out of the blue to reveal that a new installment for the Paper Mario series is on the way. Announcing Paper Mario: The Origami King, the series expands further on the tangible experience of the titular protagonist with a new 3D emphasis on the Japanese style of paper folding. And what made the reveal most effective was that the newly shared project would be releasing in less than two months of its conception.
In anticipation for the game’s arrival which will be taking place next Friday, Nintendo alike with the announcement for the title has shared that a coming Nintendo Treehouse Live presentation will be taking place tomorrow, July 10.
Among the enticing disclosure for a closer look at the return to the Paper Mario universe, Nintendo also shared that WayForward will be present to reveal a new project that has yet to be revealed. In response to the announcement, fans quickly speculated that the game in particular could be a partnered, first-party project handled by the studio. Some in hopes of perhaps a Metroid game, it was later debunked via a response thread on Twitter.
“Please note that WayForward’s new title featured in #NintendoTreehouseLive is based on a third-party property,” the tweet Nintendo posted in response to swelling conjecture from the initial announcement reads.
Regarding what the undisclosed project could be is left unknown for the time being. While some might presume it would be another Shantae title – the most prolific series from the developer – so there is the chance for that to be revealed seeing that Shantae and the Seven Sirens just shipped earlier this spring.
Waypoint this week revealed to be resurrecting the production line of GameBoy Color copies of 2002’s Shantae. That along with nearly three dozen games will be receiving physical editions via Limited Run Games: you can read the full report by heading here.
