According to a Twitter post by Rogers, 5 sources have told her that a new Paper Mario game will be announced later this year for the Wii U. The game is also rumored to be developed by Intelligent Systems, the developers known best for Fire Emblem, 2D Metroid games, and the WarioWare series. But that’s not even the best part!

You didn’t read that wrong. The game is supposedly already in the localization and testing stage. If this part of the rumor is true, then that would mean Paper Mario for the Wii U’s announcement could be just around the corner!

Remember, despite Emily Rogers’ history of accurate rumors, this is -in the end - still just a rumor. Still, with Nintendo’s stocks rising, it could be that investors already know about a much larger hidden lineup coming this year. I’d hate to be the one to spread false rumors, but that’s something I’m betting on right now.
