Oh no, Paper Mario: The Origami King has been leaked online less than a week out from its official release.
This has been confirmed by a well-known dataminer over on Twitter, who is now sifting through the Switch game's files.
There's also footage being uploaded to streaming platforms, so you might want to avoid using any search terms related to Paper Mario.
Surprisingly, this isn't the first time a Paper Mario game has been leaked?
Nintendo accidentally made Paper Mario: Color Splash available on the Wii U eShop two weeks ahead of schedule back in 2016.
If you'd like to see direct footage of Paper Mario: The Origami King - we advise you stick to Nintendo's Treehouse broadcast, which aired on its YouTube channel yesterday?
When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games.
His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.
Just like color splash.
Nintendo still made that “Paper Mario†charm while trying something different.
@Cosats I’m so deeply grieved that Paper Mario offends you.
@RazumikhinPG There's plenty to spoil for people who like Paper Mario.
Like geez dude, get out of your "only what I like matters" greenhouse.
For most Mario games the story is negligible and only exists for the gameplay?
In the Paper Mario Series, story was the central focus until Sticker Star happened.
I actually bought a used copy of Color Splash yesterday.
I've never played it, but I don't want to skip an entry and just go straight to Origami King.
@Cosats you’re a hater with nothing better to do than to shame the Nintendo Life writers who worked hard on the article saying it was “pointlessâ€.
Go spend some quality time with your wife instead of shaming a Nintendo article that 50 people will see.
The only reviews I listen to now are these, Nintendo Life, they seem to get it right most of the time.
@Bl4ckb100d My uncle works at Nintendo, and he said it’s going to be Olly!
@ImagineerNik with other Mario games, no, but Paper Mario actually has a story, so there may be some to spoil.
its good, it just doesnt feel like paper mario of old.
Nintendo just switched directions with the series entirely.
With Color Splash and Origami King, it's gonna feel weird having two new Paper Mario games to play back to back like this.
Which cultures are going to “war†about Paper Mario.
I played for 2 hours on my hacked Switch and gave up.
Unfortunately, like Sticker Star, there were required (and sometimes obtuse) required progression points.
After that stream yesterday, I can think of more interesting games to play like perhaps watching paint dry.
It's like it's not even a Paper Mario game any more.
If Paper Mario is gonna be tossing confetti everywhere, at least let him do it with a party popper 🎉 Animal Crossing knows what’s up!
2020 brought us RPG fans many joys through heavy hitters like Trials of Mana, Final Fantasy 7R, and Xenoblade Chronicles: DE, but, regrettably, Paper Mario won't be included?
To echo the sentiment from a certain headline, Paper Mario: The Origami King doesn't want to replicate the games of the past.
The best we older fans can hope for are ports of the first two games, it seems, and that's okay ...
assuming Nintendo eventually delivers!
Come on Nintendo.
Paper Mario is controversial lol.
The Paper Mario community is what will ultimately kill the series, I'm convinced half the hate against color splash is by people who never even played it and just made assumptions
I said there's not a lot to spoil in a Paper Mario game, surely no one plays Mario games expecting a LotR type of plot
Big Paper Mario fan here, loved Sticker Star and 64
Also, replying to you and telling you that your priorities (story in paper mario doesn't matter, so spoiling/being spoiled is fine) don't necessarily align with that of everybody else
Oh well at least we have the Mario and Luigi games to keep us entertai- oh wait, those were cancelled
Man, I'm just about wondering if this 'leak' is intentional for these later Paper Mario as a marketing stunt
So I guess you never bought a Paper Mario game
Not like Mario games ever really have much of a story
Mario RPG was probably the best one story-wise and that one wasn't even developed by Nintendo
