A Paper Mario game is in development for Wii U, according to sources of journalist Emily Rogers, Unseen64‘s Liam Robertson, and freelance writer Imran Khan.
The trio reportedly have five sources that corroborate the rumor.
Information first came via a series of Twitter updates from Rogers.
“So me, [Liam Robertson], and [Imran Khan] will share a rumor next week regarding an unannounced Wii U game,” Rogers said. “We have about 4-5 sources that this unannounced Wii U game exists. And a lot of evidence behind it. For the record, this Wii U game is published by Nintendo. It’s not a third party game.”
Later on, Rogers tweeted, “We decided instead of making you guys wait till Monday, I’ll just post everything here on Twitter.”
She continued, “5 sources told us a new Paper Mario will be announced this year for Wii U. Developed by Intelligent Systems. The game is currently being localized and tested.”
Stay tuned.
