Watch: Nintendo Treehouse: Live - July 2020

Paper Mario and...?

by Ryan Craddock Fri 10th Jul 2020

E3 may well have been cancelled this year, but that doesn't mean we can't have some lovely Nintendo Treehouse Live footage to enjoy.

Nintendo has said that today's digital event will include gameplay footage of Paper Mario: The Origami King as well as the reveal of a brand new third-party game from developer WayForward. It all kicks off at 10am PDT / 1pm EDT / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST, so sit back, join the chat, and enjoy the show.

19:01

Have a lovely weekend all - we're off to get some dinner...

19:00

Aaand that's all folks!

18:44

Bakugan Champions of Vestroia, a new Switch exclusive from WayForward, is coming on November 3!

18:39

Ooo, here we go...

18:38

Not long to wait until we can find out more ourselves.

18:38

Well not a huge amount to say - looks like some latter-day Paper Mario!

17:57

Damo said:

I'm crossing all of my fingers (and toes) that WayForward's super-secret game is a new Castlevania!

17:53

Welcome folks! Looking forward to this surprise 2020 edition of Treehouse: Live?

17:52

Less than 10 mins to go until Nintendo Treehouse: Live!

uh what’s bakugan?

mikegamer said:

anticlimactic*

mikegamer said:

That was anticlimacic

They have one game. The future is so bright I gotta wear shades.

Already taken down. Utube is sh1t now.

Robo-Knight said:

Bakugan sucks.

lol

TG16_IS_BAE said:

That way, I can avoid it!

TG16_IS_BAE said:

They need to start putting an age range on these things. I would have liked to know ahead of time that this treehouse would have been marketed towards 10 year olds.

If I was a Bakugan fan, I would be disappointed with this. The gameplay looks so dull and lifeless that I'm surprised this game warranted an entire half of the treehouse.

DTFaux said:

This is good for Wayforward, though, as they get more work. And I'm sure there's a Bakugan fanbase out there losing their minds over this, so it's a win for them

Grumblevolcano said:

Next up Ubisoft Forward on July 12th, then the Xbox event on July 23rd

Peace.

boredlizard said:

XBOX is getting a presentation this summer.

DTFaux said:

I wasn't expecting anything major, but a tie-in video game for a toyetic anime series wasn't anywhere on my bingo chart

JHDK said:

looking forward to wayforward's next project, can't possibly be worse than this one

PS5 anyone?

Dark-Luigi said:

Meanwhile for Sony...

PuzzleMaster7 said:

Best Treehouse Live this month

graysoncharles said:

can someone bring me back those 20 mins I lost on this?

Vertigoat said:

?????????????????????/

Luminous117 said:

That was awful

veeflames said:

Well, im out. Have a great weekend everyone, and continue to stay safe. And remember, it's just videogames

That was a bit like 2020 in a whole hour

Gaming in the age of COVID, folks.

I mean, depending on the direct, my expectations might be high, like with Gamefreak. But on a random Treehouse announced two days prior for a company with a bunch of random games?

WoomyNNYes said:

have a good weekend everyone!

veeflames said:

that was.. something, haha.

JHDK said:

Well that was a huge let down

Dark-Luigi said:

Yup. Compete waste of time.

Laoak said:

i give up

veeflames said:

aaand that's it lol haha

Grumblevolcano said:

It's over

Djrr-ific said:

@AtlanteanMan well the mini direct was almost as long as a "real" direct but whatever. I'm not dissapointed with Nintendo so far this year, but maybe my expectations aren't high

veeflames said:

yeah bakugan NEEDS some work before release

WoomyNNYes said:

kammy, yeah, seems like a prime time for wii u ports

that was pants

@veeflames Same. I've got a massive backlog xD Mainly criticizing the game for what it is

AtlanteanMan said:

I'll say this: with both Microsoft and Sony launching new, more powerful consoles this year, Nintendo needs to blow our socks off with their next Direct. It needs to happen SOON.

veeflames said:

LOL maybe im not mad myself cuz i have too big of a backlog, with TOK on the way. I would appreciate a Direct later in the year tho haha

Dark-Luigi said:

Yeah, at least we have a game. Better than nothing at all.

KammyWh1te said:

With how easy it is for games to be put in the Switch, why Nintendo isn't throwing loads of their Wii U games onto the system this year, like they did in the 1st year

boop23 said:

haha.

veeflames said:

not sure what yall were expecting, though. this was just a treehouse for TOK gameplay and a new Wayforward game. I mean, chill out haha

WoomyNNYes said:

kammywh1te, I have a theory, they don't know, and don't want to hurt the Nintendo market saying this years lineup has been scrapped to some extent

Or the 3d Mario collection!

graysoncharles said:

that bakugan game looks worse than pokemon.... no wonder WB games is up for sale

boop23 said:

@djrr i mean trust me i really hope thats true but im still waiting for them to prove me wrong

boredlizard said:

The designs are cool, but the textures and animations are pretty meh.

AtlanteanMan said:

It's been well over half a year since the last real Direct and we're on the back half of 2020 now. That's the reason for the spleen currently being vented here.

Djrr-ific said:

My god guys, there will be more games. Look at how they dropped Paper Mario a few months ago. Its only July, after a very strange first half year of 2020..

KammyWh1te said:

I wish they would just tell us what was coming this year, if theres isn't much atleast we wouldn't be disappointed every time they do presentations like this

Gahh again I'll re-iterate, love the battle perspective, but it's just... so... stiff. The cutscene animations are decent but it seems really weird to mix it with realtime battle

WoomyNNYes said:

due to covid disruption, I've wondered how thin PS5 and next gen xbox initial game offerings will be

Laoak said:

Ok this isn't for me. Cya

Grumblevolcano said:

At this point I'm glad I saved DQXIS for the 2nd half of this year instead of completely finishing my Switch backlog back in February/March

boop23 said:

its seriously july and this is all they have to show for?

WoomyNNYes said:

this looks directed to kids /handheld

KammyWh1te said:

I'll be happy if we got the fabled Metroid HD Trilogy & more amiibos this year

Got busy at work, then popped back into the stream for the Way Forward reveal. Looks like I'll just be going back to work now

PuzzleMaster7 said:

The darkest hour is just before the dawn.

veeflames said:

@deliesh yep, something like the old cooking mama games. Except this bakugan game looks hilariously bad haha

In all seriousness, this looks like a niche game that would make a small amount of people happy, but was poorly suited to the buildup.

fadedcolors said:

If the direct rumors arent true, this is a very sad time to be a nintendo fan

Trouble is Pokemon sword and shield are not actually that good. Terrible graphics and poor pop ups. Just sell on the name

fadedcolors said:

Man, what a terrible way to treat fans. Whose idea was this?

WoomyNNYes said:

yeah, with covid, I think this could be a very light year.

HarryHyruleHero said:

I'm leaving, if they announce something good I'll hear about it. Holy moly this is bad

fadedcolors said:

Pokemon swsh still looks worse than this

boredlizard said:

I did not know this franchise existed.

veeflames said:

lol anyway yes, i too have stuff to do so im out. I'll leave the video in the background tho

KammyWh1te said:

This didn't need to be kept secret

KonkeyDong64 said:

Honestly it looks like they put a lot of work into this and I can't knock that, but in the Age of games like Pokemon S/S, this doesn't seem worthy about announcing this on a treehou

Way Forward...more like Trail in Reverse

Cya guys. (Not like I'm not buying tons of WayForward stuff in the coming months lol)

way forward...more like way backwards

Man so many people are so negative. This was a presentation for two games, and Covid restricts things, calm down

WoomyNNYes said:

definitely live.

I don't think I've ever intentionally left a nintendo presentation before the end but yikes....I'm gonna go do literally anything else

This isn't for me. So I'm not going to talk it down.

Debating whether to stick around for a potential real announcement...

WoomyNNYes said:

haha car alarm?

veeflames said:

"nintendo has lost their touch" mm kk haha

KammyWh1te said:

I prefer Yo Kai Watch & that was super successful!!!!!

Meh, I think I'll categorize this game in "not for me". Gotta remember not all games are designed for everybody. This is COULD be aimed for the younger crowd?

@KammyWh1te yeah, I'm sure there will be fans of this

veeflames said:

@grumblevolcano lol nah, feels like a lot of nintendo fans are taking their critique too far lol

boop23 said:

nintendo has lost their touch

KammyWh1te said:

35K people have thumbs up this on Youtube

Laoak said:

did they say how long the stream would be

WoomyNNYes said:

kammywh1te, yeah, looks like covid put all big switch games on hold..

Grumblevolcano said:

Now Nintendo fans know how Xbox fans felt in May

KonkeyDong64 said:

more like WayBackward....

I'm out. Thanks for the discussion, guys.

80...in todays climate, that screams Bakugan season pass

KammyWh1te said:

Nintendo is going to disappoint this year

@KammyWh1te Maybe lack of other content to promote these days.

boop23 said:

direct announcment after this? lol just kidding thats wishful thinking

BlackenedHalo said:

The Origami King looks so good, but ....but this Bakugan? Why did they think it would be a good idea? Nobody ever asked for it..

Younger me would've loved this. Played Bakugan on the NDS and this is miles ahead of that. But in the context of where gaming as a whole is now, I can see why people are underwhelme

veeflames said:

and the commenters legit sound... not excited. Cmon, what's really going on here haha

HarryHyruleHero said:

I swear if this costs £50

KammyWh1te said:

Shantae is such a good Metroidvania & Samus appears in the end of the Paper Mario trailer, I thought it was going to be Metroid, thats why they showed the trailer again at the end

WoomyNNYes said:

veeflames, reminds me of a 3ds game scaled up to switch,

I honestly can't imagine being more bored than this rn

boop23 said:

less than underwhelmed and more than disappointed

WoomyNNYes said:

yeah, i agree.

Laoak said:

in both content-wise and just how they present it

HarryHyruleHero said:

I didn't know what to expect and yet I had too high an expectation

KammyWh1te said:

I question Nintendo's integrity if they are pushing a obvious Pokemon copy

Well, we do do it to ourselves. I mean. Castlevania, Metroid etc. It could be anything and we would feel drained lol

Laoak said:

the whole stream feels so dry

veeflames said:

@woomyNNyes eh, i dunno. Other games on the Switch look fantastic. this game looks like a tech demo... that was made in 5 minutes. Even the HUD looks off

Nintendo has given up on games it seems for Switch.

AtlanteanMan said:

Nothing says "NEXT!" quite like a demo where 90 percent of the gameplay shown is literally just a character running around a mobile game-quality environment.

Building friendship with a machine?

I came in with low expectations, and have somehow managed to be floored by this entire stream

@veeflame Right. I'm open to this, just waiting for them to sell me on it. I'm wondering if this is something I need to demo

I'm sure Bakugan fans are going wild right now.

WoomyNNYes said:

veeflames, for a switch game, lack of textures doesn't shock me much, but its also to make it look more like a cartoon

ImagineerNik said:

Looks decent if you like the show? Maybe, I have no idea, never heard of it.

The graphics are better than Sword and shield but that’s not hard as they have the worst graphics of them all

HarryHyruleHero said:

don't worry everyone in the zoom call, nobody else cares

KammyWh1te said:

Bakugan is a Pokemon bootleg

Djrr-ific said:

@veeflames exactly. It's dull, boring. They aren't making me want to play this

Laoak said:

the textures look mobile-level

WHAT IS THIS THING?

Or Digimon, based on the monster designs

roadrunner343 said:

Alright well, I should get back to work. Okay, maybe not "should" but because work seems more interesting at this point =P

This looks like a Chinese Pokemon bootleg

This game is in some dire need of some stirring music...

veeflames said:

@brydontk lol its funny how people are complaining about this being bakugan. That's not the issue. Its the fact that theyre not selling us on why we should play this game

KammyWh1te said:

It was never going to be a new Shantae, we just got one

status-204 said:

"November 3" Ooh boy this is rough

November 3rd. I’m out that day

Contra 4 was AMAZING as well

Grumblevolcano said:

The expectations stemmed around Shantae

HarryHyruleHero said:

new pokemon looks disappointing

PuzzleMaster7 said:

GOTY contender

WayForward has created some amazing games. THIS won't be one of them.

Juga said:

@Djrr-ific let's hope

veeflames said:

oh man, the animation, textures... is this game releasing this year?

They do a ton of small licensed games

Djrr-ific said:

Let's hope the rumoured direct on the 20th is true..

Yeeeeah, I never heard of Wayforward prior to the treehouse hype so I glanced at the wiki. And judging from that, I'm surprised people had such high expectations

oof that sliding running animation

roadrunner343 said:

I'd settle for pretending lol - I'm assuming that would make it not seem so bad.

@Juga depends what you like but Fire Emblem or Astral Chain are probably the best choices

Being the hype man for this stream is the video game equivalent of being President Trump's PR rep

JHDK said:

@roadrunner or at least they could pretend

status-204 said:

"We needed money so we made a licensed game"

KammyWh1te said:

This isn't a Wayforward game, they were just work for hire

roadrunner343 said:

I mean, odds are, they don't think they made a terrible game. It's on them to convince people why they should care.

HarryHyruleHero said:

2020 is now officially worse than being hit in the ankles by a razer scooter

Laoak said:

eh they should of not hyped this up

Grumblevolcano said:

@Juga Astral Chain or Fire Emblem

veeflames said:

what even is going on, though.. running, pick up hex, throw, and red dragon spews fire, cleanse, repeat haha

roadrunner343 said:

@JHDK I would imagine the people making and marketing it, if anyone

The monsters are cool, but this looks dull to play :/

Yuck. Too many other good games to play. Not going to entertain this one.

Juga said:

So, I got one voucher left. Do I use it for Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Astral Chain, Daemon Machina, or turn my Breath of the Wild physical copy to a digital?

@veeflame Same thought, wondering if they're still cleaning it up? But with a November release, seems like it's cutting it close

Dark-Luigi said:

It's Pokemon Untie all over again.

Djrr-ific said:

@roadrunner sounds like it's no fun then

JHDK said:

@roadrunner who could get excited for this?

WoomyNNYes said:

grumble, ubisoft sunday? that's good news. thanks for the heads up

So the big reveals so far have been Pokemon Unite which looked rubbish and now this that looks totally rubbish. Meh. Nintendo dumbing down in a big way in 2020

Djrr-ific said:

or the year of too much expectations. I mean I don't like this game at all but some of the predictions were crazy haha

roadrunner343 said:

They don't even seem excited about the game...

crimsontadpoles said:

Those kids are surely going to get stepped on by those big monsters

Laoak said:

This will only be redeemed with a direct announcment

PoopScoop said:

hyping this up was a bad idea for people like us but are kids interested in bakugan these days?

veeflames said:

i mean, its wayforward so im not gonna dismiss the game immediately, but... this feels pretty... stiff. Like it just came straight off concept art

MayroMake said:

Came here for the WayForward announcement. As soon as I saw Bakugan my brain pretty much turned off. Uninterested.

Grumblevolcano said:

Well at least there's Ubisoft Forward on Sunday. Maybe Just Dance 2021 will happen

AtlanteanMan said:

Well, this Treehouse sure was a "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine" waste of time.

2020 is the year of disappointment.

luxoricious said:

Bakugan? I'm sad.

I like the battle perspective, but they seem kind of stiff. Might not be for me though, seems like it's for a younger audience

HarryHyruleHero said:

REMINDER: this is an official Nintendo Treehouse livestream

Dark-Luigi said:

Nope.

G-Boy said:

This year certainly has been interesting

WoomyNNYes said:

still waiting on mario 3d world

if its real-time stop making every move a mini-cutscene in between geez

Do you think we'll get a special announcement after this segment?

Octane said:

@ralizah yes

status-204 said:

So an even crappier looking SnS ripoff..?

JHDK said:

I'm with ya @Fighter

What even is this? You run around an throw frisbees while your monster fights on its own?

Fighter_Hayabusa said:

they shouldve just dropped a random trailer

WoomyNNYes said:

So, mid-late aug & sept, maybe we'll get some news on a cool new game

Grumblevolcano said:

This is the WayForward game

Fighter_Hayabusa said:

a live reveal wasnt necessary for this

it’s really is just Pokemon. How totally rubbish is this

Samuel-Flutter said:

Was this WayForward's new game?

veeflames said:

what's with the textures? Even mobile games could do better

HarryHyruleHero said:

@boredlizard good? I don't know yet

@echoplex Naw, they've been rebranding Bakugan lately. New irl game, new anime, etc.

roadrunner343 said:

Would have bought with 84. 81 is a bit dated.

JHDK said:

eek...really poor reading of that script

Juga said:

holy monty moley, this was bad today

HarryHyruleHero said:

81, that is dissapointing

To be fair the trees look leagues better than Pokemon SnS

boredlizard said:

So its pokemon but good?

Octane said:

I'm so glad Leonitus is back

When you watch a ton of boring Paper Mario footage and get Bakugan...bleh

Wait is this a sequel of something?

status-204 said:

Nice, static conversation models

There's fans?

Laoak said:

81? I've got to buy it now

KammyWh1te said:

This is why there is no Nintendo Direct, they have nothing coming out this year

Octane said:

81!?!

@Veeflames As in underwhelming? :/

PoopScoop said:

81?

HarryHyruleHero said:

wait only 80?

HarryHyruleHero said:

is this pokemon sword and shield?

Arnold-Kage said:

Getting an battlenet work vibe which suits me just fine

Octane said:

GOTY right here

veeflames said:

reminds me of the pokemon games 6th gen and later

AtlanteanMan said:

A full and proper Direct would have been better. In related news, I have a special gift for understatement.

"You are the hero in an epic action role-playing game" Guys cmon this looks super unique...right?

WoomyNNYes said:

open world = good

Luminous117 said:

Wasn't expecting this

veeflames said:

oh wait wait, okay this looks intriguing

meh

Juga said:

boooooooo!!!!!

WoomyNNYes said:

I think that was the wayforward reveal

Octane said:

pikmin 4

boredlizard said:

I mean, what were you expecting? A new Nintendo game?

Dark-Luigi said:

Oh god, yup. It is.

I'm less than underwhelmed

How can they hype something like this xD

Laoak said:

oh

Nintendo are the masters of disappointment

roadrunner343 said:

lol... well. That's interesting.

korosanbo said:

Wow, Nintendo trolling us hard

Laoak said:

was that wayforward?

Bakugan's had a bit of a resurgence/rebrand lately. I'm curious

keihtg said:

Is that the tops thing?

HarryHyruleHero said:

I'm almost crying now

Arnold-Kage said:

Not what i expected to be honest. Still it wayforward so should be an enjoyable game

What a waste of time

Dark-Luigi said:

This is what WF is working on??!?!

PoopScoop said:

here's where the viewer count drops drastically

Well bye everyone, that was bad

veeflames said:

woooooooooooooooow

xD

who cares bakugan what the hell wayforward

RazumikhinPG said:

bye guys!

NotoriousWhiz said:

marginally better than toothpaste

wtf

Fazermint said:

i'm out lol

it really is Pokemon unite all over again

What a troll

give me my life minutes back

NintendOrc said:

Haha

AtlanteanMan said:

Nope.

Mach_Rider said:

they got me

G-Boy said:

LOL

status-204 said:

Oh god no

OH NO

Juga said:

noooooooooo!

Nice joke

Grumblevolcano said:

Fighting game?

Dark-Luigi said:

Uhhhhhh....

PoopScoop said:

not what I was expecting

Mach_Rider said:

friggin'Bakugan?!

Fazermint said:

this looks blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh god

RazumikhinPG said:

bakugan? oh *** I'm done here, bye

Octane said:

remember it's not a trailer, it's a PUZZLE

please no

veeflames said:

... bakugan.

Mach_Rider said:

seriously?!

NintendOrc said:

xD

korosanbo said:

Seriously??

HarryHyruleHero said:

wot

G-Boy said:

Uh-oh

Laoak said:

Bakugan?

PoopScoop said:

nope

RazumikhinPG said:

LOVE THE DESYNC

????

korosanbo said:

That's some amazing hair

Fazermint said:

LETS DO IT BOIS

boredlizard said:

Let's go

EXCLUSIVE?

RazumikhinPG said:

this dude is bad at lipsync

Let's go Ducktales 2! xP

Mrkim said:

Stay Tuned > Control the Virus

HarryHyruleHero said:

FINALLY

Laoak said:

guess I've got to tune my guitar then

Palom said:

can it be outrun

@korosanbo The sequel to Segagaga?

WoomyNNYes said:

en una momento

RazumikhinPG said:

I for one wanna stay tuned

Mrkim said:

I hope everyone is remembering to stay tuned

Juga said:

donde esta mi way forward trailer?

RazumikhinPG said:

rofl @ korosanbo

Mach_Rider said:

but they do make a point of WF, so it's likely just them

korosanbo said:

WayFoward presents : Nintendo Treehouse Live July 2020! Stay Tuned - retails for $59.99

PoopScoop said:

I would say just Wayforward and nothing else

Arnold-Kage said:

just wf

Skimping on the segment transistion music

Fazermint said:

Just WF*

Mach_Rider said:

perhaps just one more @Laoak

Fazermint said:

jusy wf

Octane said:

I hope pikmin 4 is announced at the end of this stream

WoomyNNYes said:

grumblevolcano, i bet they don't say anything about upcoming direct. unfortunately

Laoak said:

Do you think it will just be the WayForward reveal or more reveals?

G-Boy This

G-Boy said:

It would be nice if there was a demo of the game to try out

Grumblevolcano said:

I hope a Direct is announced at the end of this stream

RazumikhinPG said:

The new WayForward game is called Stay Tuned! and is the sequel to Don't Get Caught!

I'm critical but seems miles better than Color Splash and Sticker Star, I just lament the TTYD days.

Dark-Luigi said:

Kinda what Paper Mario is know for anyway.

I waited for more gameplay footage like this but now I'm not that enthusiastic anymore about the game

luxoricious said:

Loved the gameplay, I'm so getting this week one.

Mrkim said:

Stay tuned!

Mach_Rider said:

I love me some Wayforward

veeflames said:

lol haha, that segment was kinda painful, wasn't it? For what i've seen though, everything else about the game is pretty fantastic. The music, visuals, and writing are brilliant

Mach_Rider said:

while it's likely RCG2, I'd love it if they drop another surprise on us

roadrunner343 said:

...@WoomyNNYes... clearly I was. Unless you also were. In which case, you got me =P

Juga said:

where's muh new game reveal?

korosanbo said:

I guess we were bamboozled? No WayForward trailer?

HarryHyruleHero said:

@Fazermint, we are hungry for news, so we imagine our own

Laoak said:

I quite enjoy the look of it. That being said I've never played a paper mario game

This next game better be amazing after that

Matthew010 said:

It definitely didn't look bad, I didn't play Colour Splash, so I'll be giving this a go!

WoomyNNYes said:

roadrunner343, octane is just playing

Luminous117 said:

Onto what we really came here for

Octane said:

sooo.... what's next?

The trailer definitely makes this game look very cool, the gameplay itself looked a bit so-so though

It's just way down on things I want to play

NotoriousWhiz said:

guys*

Fazermint said:

People seem to expect direct-level stuff

roadrunner343 said:

@Octane The dude in the suit

NotoriousWhiz said:

wrong trailer guts

RazumikhinPG said:

WayForward makes new Metroid confirmed

Mach_Rider said:

y can't paper metroid crawl?

korosanbo said:

Where's the trailer? They forgot to play it

I think it looked lovely myself

sneaky Metroid reference eh

Octane said:

what's a metroid?

Djrr-ific said:

So much negativity... I like the look of it, and ofcourse this was only the beginning so ofcourse its going to be easy teaching all the mechanis.

Ah, a reminder of Metroid

Eyes down, look in!

C'mon, WF, salvage this!

Just wish the other allies were unique models like in the older games. Instead of just plain Bob-omb and Kamek

Has anybody watched the Kit&Krista episode on this game?

Octane said:

looks like color splash 2 to me, so i'll wait till it's €30

I'm semi-hyped the allies are back, Origami Bowser and Bowser Jr as an ally for the first time seems fun

PoopScoop said:

@G-Boy seems like they are just trying to market it like they listened when they didn't

Juga said:

framerate looks good in the trailer

Matthew010 said:

It looks better than SS and CS, but doubt it'll come near TTYD

If I'm brutally honest I want Mario RPG 2 lol

The rest of the trailer looks more promising

Dark-Luigi said:

Heck, it seems to be the easily of them all.

HarryHyruleHero said:

Just joined, what's happening

WoomyNNYes said:

that's accurate, too fazermint

Fazermint said:

Seemed par for the course for a treehouse segment

roadrunner343 said:

Still getting it, because Mario. I'm sure it will be good, but I don't think it seems great.

Dark-Luigi said:

For sure, Ralizah.

G-Boy said:

It doesn't really look like the developers have listened very much to the criticism of Sticker Star and Colour Splash, IMO

WoomyNNYes said:

Yeah, these treehouse people were decent. I like the girl

roadrunner343 said:

It was just... meh.

Juga said:

this was ehhhh... lame.

NL is very active in there live blog as well

No amount of fake enthusiasm could make that gameplay segment look good. I hope to god the game gets better

boredlizard said:

I think if someone is watching gameplay for a game, they would have already seen the original trailer.

Fazermint said:

WayForward doing Mario & Luigi

I like these treehouse guys

korosanbo said:

It's possible that since Alphadream (rip) is no more, they might keep Paper Mario as an action adventure game and start doing Mario & Luigi RPGs on the switch

Fazermint said:

bruh we all seen the trailer

veeflames said:

uhhhhhhhh um, okay then lol. I'm still getting the game, but dangit is the battle system kinda disappointing

NotoriousWhiz said:

beware the shredder.

Arnold-Kage said:

let's see what wayforward got for us

Grumblevolcano said:

Next is the WayForward game

ELEBITS?

Matthew010 said:

Correct

Fazermint said:

aye

Octane said:

I bet the second boss is a sudoku

@PoopScoop Most likely going to scoop it up as a Black Friday purchase

veeflames said:

... is that it?

WoomyNNYes said:

TTYD is gamecube, right?

Djrr-ific said:

This looks much better than the last Paper Mario games.

Dark-Luigi said:

Oh yeah, nowhere NEAR as close TTYD.

korosanbo said:

You get too many coins... If only they weren't showering you with coins all the time..

PoopScoop said:

If I do get this, it will probably be an impulse purchase in a few years when its on a big sale

Still not TTYD, but playable

WoomyNNYes said:

Veeflames, it is level 1, too. so...

veeflames said:

the game is literally trying too hard to make it easy for the player

Dark-Luigi said:

For sure it looks better than the other two.

But idk, looks like it's better(?) than the other 2? Still cautiously optimistic

PoopScoop said:

I can't wait to get Bug Fables when the physical releases

veeflames said:

legit feels like easy mode is turned on here...

Dark-Luigi said:

Only 100 times better, though.

@korosanbo *Sticker Star 3

Dark-Luigi said:

Given how we're literally fighting craft materials and tools...yeah...

WoomyNNYes said:

I bet there's a scissor boss

korosanbo said:

This is basically Color Splash 2.0

boredlizard said:

The boss may not be that excited, but the music slaps.

Octane said:

damn 11 damage this time

This is not really that exciting for a boss battle

Dark-Luigi said:

HAAHAH RAlizah!

The pencil case is a good idea for a boss but I wish it looked a little bit more like a... boss

If you don't have the money at the start, it might be more involved

Dark Souls and SMT have competition, clearly

The colored pencils rockets are clever, but anyone else wish that the boss was a char holding a colored pencil rocket launcher or something?

korosanbo said:

That looks super easy.. I guess if you want some challenge you shouldn't line the enemies up?

Djrr-ific said:

And now this thing ofcourse

Djrr-ific said:

@Ralizah Yeah one enemy did attack once

Octane said:

DAUNTING!

Juga said:

mario takes damage!

It attacked!

WAOT

So... nothing has actually attacked Mario yet, right?

WoomyNNYes said:

oh he showed those pencils

they are a decisive bunch!!! You go, no you, no you

Or were they serious pencils...

WoomyNNYes said:

would have liked to see the brainstorming behind pencil case boss

Did they shoot out like rockets?

Octane said:

the last of us 2 had better pencils

Dark-Luigi said:

Yup, these...are the bosses...Haha...

boredlizard said:

JRPG Boss:

WoomyNNYes said:

boss=case of colored pencils

Those pencils look really well realised!

veeflames said:

i liked color splash

Dark-Luigi said:

Pretty much...?

Octane said:

but you could do that in color splash as well

PoopScoop said:

"previous entries" just the previous two that no one liked

"How much is the God Killer sword?" "100,000 gold!" "Erm...I only have a 50 on me..."

"yeah so""

veeflames said:

... what. they're just going to talk?

Octane said:

don't ya mean boss PUZZLES???

veeflames said:

lol i wish he continued bringing down the price

crimsontadpoles said:

Finding out how low the price will go is likely more interesting than the item itself

WoomyNNYes said:

Man, he really talked them down in price

PoopScoop said:

High inflation is not the sign of a very good economy

Now haggling needs to be in all rpgs!

hardcore gamblers

boredlizard said:

In any other RPG that would be a ridiculous price. Paper Mario has a very good economy.

Palom said:

ORB

WoomyNNYes said:

Thanks @matthew010

Arnold-Kage said:

suspect 30 min. that the usual time an gameplay segment last

Matthew010 said:

E3 Treehouses are usually about an hour, maybe a bit more

Framerate looks a bit bad, hopefully that's just the stream

Fazermint said:

Would like to know that as well, I've got places to be in 40 mins

WoomyNNYes said:

any word on how long the presentation is today?

NotoriousWhiz said:

I guess they all just fall over themselves.

Juga said:

Six battles in and I have yet to see an enemy attack Mario.

Octane said:

because it is easy harharhar

boredlizard said:

It just works

Juga said:

Toad World!!!

Juga said:

I'm a toad!

PoopScoop said:

Where's Zip Toad?

Grumblevolcano said:

Autosave, that's something new

Dark-Luigi said:

You're a Toad, they're a Toad, EVERYONE'S A TOAD!

Octane said:

well they all look the same, so that's possible

Juga said:

lol

boredlizard said:

See that mountain? It's a toad.

EVERYONE is secretly a toad

crimsontadpoles said:

Mean mario, that's not petting the doggy

AtlanteanMan said:

@Fazermint, Me too.

All these toads are hitting me with Sticker Star flashbacks

Fazermint said:

@atlanteanman same, got this on in the background while doing something else

NotoriousWhiz said:

SF2 in 30th anniversary is too strict with special moves.

AtlanteanMan said:

Not personally into Treehouses because I prefer discovering things myself. I'm here for the new game reveal. Hope there's a real Direct soon.

NotoriousWhiz said:

I wish people still played USF2. Only street fighter version I like outside of 4 and 5.

boredlizard said:

We live in a society

Fazermint said:

Nintendo confirmed filthy capitalists

Grumblevolcano said:

It was nice seeing Min Min in Smash bring more people to ARMS, matchmaking was very fast

New Super Paper Mario Bros. 2

NintendOrc said:

Coins

Dark-Luigi said:

Coins here, coins there, COINS EVEYWHERE!

Nice shout Grumble!

Grumblevolcano said:

Paper Mario for ARMS

Fazermint said:

God no

Octane said:

i hope they add an option where you can buy additional coins from the eshop

SO, this game gets harder the more cheapskate you are lol

Fazermint said:

This looks pretty decent, actually

Juga said:

the coins extend the ring timer so you can line up baddies

RazumikhinPG said:

Waiting for the reveal afterwards

boredlizard said:

*then

It will be a demo game or something for this presentation

boredlizard said:

Why are you here than.

NotoriousWhiz said:

Tried watching this on youtube, and they are way too spammy. Anyhow, I just joined, why does he have so many coins?

RazumikhinPG said:

I really love seeing footage of a game I already pre-ordered and will play next week, can't think of anything better to do with my time...

They're explaining combat mechanics. Definitely the beginning of the game.

lol

Octane said:

they better hack pikmin 4 into this game then

Hacks

Octane said:

is it the first battle? they already had like 7000 coins

Guys, it was like the first battle in the game. What the heck you wanting? A rubics cube?

Arnold-Kage said:

the puzzles seem pretty easy , but still it the start of the game

boredlizard said:

I hope later in the game the puzzles get harder.

NintendOrc said:

And you solved it Octane. Well done

Did you get coins from the toilet

Juga said:

@Octane lmao!

Getting Colour Splash vibes from some of this. Yes flashing toilets is a puzzle well done

Octane said:

I flushed the toilet this morning, was that a puzzle too?

Octane said:

lol at calling it a puzzle

What a fiend!

I am in love - not just the game!

Who's the guy with the 'fro? I think I saw him on other Treehouse streamings

Arnold-Kage said:

looks nice so far

Matthew010 said:

Love the open environments!

Octane said:

i'm getting triggered

Grumblevolcano said:

Confetti looks very much like Color Splash paint

Octane said:

7233 coins

This is really nice looking!

Guaranteed smash hit

Dark-Luigi said:

Oh yeah, CS and this look like the best looking Paper Marios date.

SegaBlueSky said:

Or should that eb greeting card Bowser

envelope bowser amiibo

SegaBlueSky said:

Envelope Bowser is such a mood

love the 3D style

It's a more positive sounding uh-oh

Juga said:

bowser lmao!

I betcha those stretchy arms can be controlled via motion.

ye-oh is my new catchphrase

Yeah. This and Color Splash are some of the most aesthetically pleasing games I've ever seen

Love this - looks great

SegaBlueSky said:

Love the art style in this. Tearaway meets Mario at last!

Octane said:

toad town sounds like the nightmare of every paper mario fan

Origami Festival....did she bake him a cake this time?

Afro Samurai here needs to be a regular fixture in Treehouse streams'

NintendOrc said:

Dat blue shell

Juga said:

check out the frol!!!! awesome!

Octane said:

it's a fuzzy helmet

Is that hair real?

Octane said:

sounds like pikmin music to me

Music

Grumblevolcano said:

Starting now

Ooooh starting soon

Matthew010 said:

I've said before how I wished Treehouses were more common. Hopefully this continues!

G-Boy said:

I'll be keeping my expectations low, as usual

Luminous117 said:

Here we go

Juga said:

Lets a go!

Hiya everyone. I'm going to say Klonoa or Braid. (coz I have no idea!)

Browser start the show

Octane said:

I bet Pikmin 4 was actually the BOTW2 trailer we saw last yaer

I hope we get Spidersaurs at some point

Juga said:

@Desrever I would give anything for a true Marble Madness sequel.

@Octane lol You'd be crushed if Pikmin 4 was another side-scrolling Pikmin game, by WayForward this time.

mario unite

RazumikhinPG said:

Don't Get Caught for Smash confirmed

Fazermint said:

It's been a slow year for Nintendo, but I'm starting to get excited again. Ys 9 and Ys Origins were great announcements

Luminous117 said:

Shantae for Smash!

RazumikhinPG said:

DON'T GET CAUGHT!

Dark-Luigi said:

I don't know...I'd say as a costume of sorts. Would love to be wrong, though.

Kirby

Octane said:

PIKMIN 4

Shantae in Smash is pretty much the only Smash-related announcement I'd be happy about.

Shantae in Smash doesn't seem too terribly far fetched, but still unlikely

Right. Baldy land is tidy so here we go to the Tree house,....maybe more than one surprise?????

Luminous117 said:

Thank goodness I made it in time

Dark-Luigi said:

Lord knows when we'll see another Direct.

Smash Bros character reveal would be the absolute most I'd hope for

Fazermint said:

TODAY

Fazermint said:

BotW 2 is available

@Matthew010 I'd say we're more likely to get a secret game announcement rather than a Direct

Dark-Luigi said:

Doubt it.

Matthew010 said:

I hope not

Fazermint said:

Directs are dead m8

They could

Matthew010 said:

Is there a slight chance they'd announce the rumoured Direct at the end?

Fazermint said:

I hope they begin with the Wayforward announcement

Sea grape in animal crossing is is not the same as where I am at it comes from a tree with circle leaves

Especially now that I'm obsessed with watching Marbleympics

You joke, but I'd play the heck out of a New Marvle Madness

Juga said:

Marble Madness Switch?

Juga said:

Bad Rats 3?

TossedLlama said:

I'd still buy it

The cartoon

Mother 3 coming to mobile only for 79.99

TossedLlama said:

@andrew20 the film?

WoomyNNYes said:

Has wayforward ported any Wii U games to switch? I'm guessing no.

Juga said:

Kangaroo 2?

TossedLlama said:

(years away )

I am watching avatar last air gender for 1000 time

TossedLlama said:

I smell Mother3

TossedLlama said:

Helloes

Someone mentioned it possibly being a Castlevania game. For all I know, they were talking out their ***.. but it was still enough to get me hyped regardless

A Kirby game

WoomyNNYes said:

Here are wayforwards games, to see what stuff they've made https://wayforward.com/games/

BabyYoshi12 said:

Gtg, bye!

BabyYoshi12 said:

I don’t actually think WayForward is making a Zelda game, I was just joking.

Where is the Nintendo life host at

BabyYoshi12 said:

15 minutes until it start!

PoopScoop said:

Yeah, cause they probably want us to have to sit through Paper Mario

In 3 hours

BabyYoshi12 said:

Yeah, I thought that too.

Grumblevolcano said:

Nintendo will probably start with Paper Mario gameplay and then announce the WayForward game at the end

BabyYoshi12 said:

Hi, Woomy.

WoomyNNYes said:

Hi BabyiestYoshi12 🤪

Or is given a license to make a Zelda game

BabyYoshi12 said:

ANdrew, it’s not Nintendo, it’s Wayforward!

WoomyNNYes said:

So, if this is a Treehouse, and not a Direct, that means we have to watch for longer to see everything they reveal? no?

F zero game

Dark-Luigi said:

Ah ok, so no Wario Land then. Thanks!

BabyYoshi12 said:

It says a ‘franchise new to WayForward’ meaning it’s a new series. Either that or WayForward is purchasing Zelda.

I hope it carro

After Cadence of Hyrule, the lines between 1st and 3rd party Nintendo games got blurred a little

Dark-Luigi said:

Paper Mario I already seen enough of, so...only here for that.

BabyYoshi12 said:

Andrew, it’s a WayForward game, not NIntendo.

It won't be Zelda or Mario os that's Nintendo first party

I'm just glad to be watching a Treehouse presentation at this point. Doesn't even matter what it's going to be about

It might be a Zelda or Mario game

Dark-Luigi said:

So I suppose we can't expect a new Wario Land because that isn't third=party, yes?

Only really here for whatever Wayforward announce as never got too excited about Paper Mario but will still watch

Grumblevolcano said:

Switch needs more PS1 games

BabyYoshi12 said:

I think a Direct will happen very soon, Andrew.

BabyYoshi12 said:

I agree with BenAV.

BenAV said:

I don't really care about seeing Paper Mario in detail but I'm too curious about what the WayForward game is to not watch.

I hope a direct is soon

It is a gameplay show case

BabyYoshi12 said:

I’ve never actually seen a Nintendo Treehouse before. I’ve seen clips, but not the whole thing. I’ll stay as long as I can!

BabyYoshi12 said:

Oh, I’ll miss the actual thing then. 😢

Where is our host and yes

BabyYoshi12 said:

Does it start in 25 minutes?

BabyYoshi12 said:

Hello, i’m Here!

Is anyone home

I hate autocorrect

The plastic statue things

I ment amigo

And also HI

Paper Mario amigo
