In a rather surprising turn of events, Nintendo of America has announced via Twitter that a Nintendo Treehouse Live event will kick off tomorrow at 10am PT. The event will show gameplay of Paper Mario: The Origami King and it’ll also show a reveal for an upcoming title from developer WayForward, the folk behind the Shantae franchise. You can check out their tweet below.

I don’t care that I’m commenting on my own post but, H Y P E
The way it’s worded makes it seem like it’s a persisting franchise that Way forward hasn’t worked on before. Oh Lord don’t let them be making the next 2D Metroid plz
I am not the biggest fan of all their titles, but what would be so bad about them doing a Metroid? They have already done Aliens Infestation and The Mummy Demastered which are good titles that could work well as an example of them being competent enough to handle it. Though I would worry they would maybe not do as good as a job on the exploration bits
F-ZERO SX?
I doubt iit. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think they’ve only ever done 2D platformers/etc.
Cool, I wonder if because this will focus loads on paper Mario there will still be that rumoured direct later on
Heck, even though I’m completely not sold on Origami King this Treehouse live thing is SOMEthing at least to look forward to. I’m down.
If the Direct rumour for 20 july is true, they will probably announce it at the end or something…
It’s WayForward so you know it’s gonna be good.
Nintendo updated the tweet to clarify that the way forward game is third party so it’s not Metroid
Lol this feels so anti climatic because usually we would have had a direct or e3 event right now
Mighty ‘Switch’ Force?
WayForward could be something switch force related maybe, but also Nintendo did mention about letting other developers get there input into their own ips, like cadence of hyrule, so maybe they are taking the reins of something like a 2d Metroid.
would be cool to see them take a crack at reviving a dormant series, like IceClimbers, a new 2D Kid icarus or StarTropics
It’s the new 2d Metroid guys
Shit give me a mach rider thats gta-esque in a neo tokyo setting and im sold.
