As promised, Nintendo went and delivered a Nintendo Treehouse Live event today, and they gave fans a deep look into the world of Paper Mario The Origami King. They highlighted the start of the game, the open-world aspects of the title, as well as going deep into the first boss fight.
But that wasn’t all, there was the “hyped” reveal of a new exclusive title from Wayforward. It was revealed to be…Bakugan. Yep, Bakugan is getting an exclusive Action-RPG on the Switch.
You can check out everything that happened at the treehouse event via the video below:

No one saw this coming, not even us and we’re all confused about this decision. More since Nintendo hyped up this announcement. You have to wonder how Wayforward is feeling about, both the way the announcement was handled and the reception.
In other Wayforward news, the company announced they are bringing Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut to both the Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch.
Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut is an upgraded version of the second game in the Shantae series, once again putting players in control of Shantae, the Half-Genie heroine, who’s on a mission to stop her scheming nemesis, the nefarious lady pirate Risky Boots. To do so, Shantae will explore a variety of environments (including deserts, forests, and undersea caverns), transform into creatures with unique abilities, encounter hilarious NPCs, and confront the dastardly Barons of Sequin Land, all accompanied by spectacular multilayered pixel-art graphics and a fantastic soundtrack.
As with previous editions of Shantae: Risky’s Revenge – Director’s Cut, the highly requested Switch and Xbox One versions offer numerous enhancements over the classic 2010 release, including improved navigation features, HD character portraits, and an unlockable Magic Mode. Renowned by fans and critics alike, the original DSiWare version of Shantae: Risky’s Revenge was awarded IGN’s Best DS Game of the Year and was 2010’s highest-rated handheld game on Metacritic.
Either way, we’d love to know what you think about this announcement in the comments.
