More fun for Mario is on the way, as Nintendo has announced Paper Mario: The Origami King will arrive on Nintendo Switch on July 17.

The game, as expected, has an origami theme, including folding-themed powers and a new villain, the evil Origami King. Players line up enemies to maximize their powers against them. Mario will also have a “1000-Fold Arms” move to lengthen his arms and control the world.
