It’s not much but it’s something…

All the Paper Mario games, ranked by you.
Updated with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Switch, the HD remake of the 2004 GameCube original. Enjoy!
The Paper Mario series began two decades ago when Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64 launched in Japan on 11th August 2000. Since then, we’ve seen five more mainline Paper Mario games of different flavours, plus a 3DS crossover with AlphaDream’s Mario & Luigi series.

“We want to make one of the most accessible and playable RPGs of all time”.
Couch co-op and JRPG are two genres you don’t often see together. Secret of Mana is one of the earliest examples of the genre, with most of the Tales of series also allowing fans to play together while sitting side-by-side. But outside of those examples, playing JRPGs with your friends in the same room isn’t a common experience.
Fortunately, Timesea Studio — made up of three brothers — is changing that. Nintendo Life can exclusively reveal that the developer’s first game, Infinity Knights: Xross, is coming to Switch (and other platforms) in late 2025.

The door’s open.
Last week saw the return of the king of Paper Marios as The Thousand-Year Door launched on Switch in remake form.
Following last year’s excellent Super Mario RPG remake, our deputy editor Alana Hagues once again tackled a turn-based Mario and found this latest Switch remake from Intelligent Systems to be “a fantastic RPG adventure, whether you’re a Mario fan or not, with some best-in-class combat, brilliant writing, and a few little creases ironed out to make this the definitive way to play.”

Yes, it’s coming to Switch.
News regarding the upcoming Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has been rather thin on the ground, but judging from a short tease posted on X to mark ‘Dragon Quest Day’, it looks like we’ll be getting a lot more information very soon.
There’s not much to go on from the tease, as it showcases a very short animation of the franchise’s Mark of Erdrick, captioned with the short phrase “The legend of Erdrick draws near”. Crucially, however, we do get confirmation that the game will be heading to the Nintendo Switch in addition to Steam, Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

*sigh* Bapanada.
Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, Jim is finally seeing the Hollow light…
Last year, I decided to take a break from Tears of the Kingdom and pick up a fun-looking, rarely discussed indie which was subject to a tasty little eShop discount at the time. The game was called ‘Hollow Knight‘, or something like that, and I put a decent amount of time into it before getting stuck, putting my controller down and never thinking about it again.

Fly high, fairy.
Hello folks, and welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl.
Before we get cracking, let’s see how things panned out last week, hm? We looked at Super Monkey Ball Adventure, one of several entries for the GameCube. As we’d expected, the busier, more vibrant box art from North America sealed the deal, winning a healthy 79% of the vote.
