Back in January, a new rumor regarding a Wii U exclusive title releasing before the end of 2016 that had yet to be announced started circulating online. The rumor stated that a new entry of the Paper Mario series was in development by Intelligent Systems, and it looks like the rumor was indeed right, as this game has finally been revealed.

The new entry of the Paper Mario series will be called Paper Mario Color Splash. In the game, players will control Paper Mario as he tries to restore color to Prism Island, a concept that doesn’t seem to be all that different from the Epic Mickey series. Not much else is currently known about the game, but it seems like there’s some sort of card based combat, judging by the announcement trailer, which can be found at the 12:30 mark of the video below.

The role playing game combining the Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem series, known in Japan as Genei Ibun Roku #FE, will be released in North America and Europe as Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE on June 24th.
