Mario & Luigi: Brothership - Nintendo Switch Forum (2024)

The whole time I was wondering what one this was. I assumed it was a remake. Very surprised with the title reveal!

Bruh I was really happy when they showed it off at the start because the Mario and Luigi games were awesome! The only Mario and Luigi game I don’t have is paper jam. And the fact that it’s coming out 5 days before my birthday is especially exciting.

I guess they went with brother-SHIP due to the nautical connections.

"All hands on deck! A new RPG adventure starring the Mario Bros. is setting sail for Nintendo Switch."

Fun fact the top comment on the YouTube video says that we are going through a Mario RPG renaissance and honestly they are right.

Could not agree more. All three series are back in action.

Will Mario and Luigi be able to kiss in this game?

I am so unbelievably happy this is a real thing, if I wasn’t at college watching this I would’ve literally screamed at this and the MP4 reveal

@Greatluigi It is like Nintendo finally relented after experimenting with the battle system many times over. 'Ok. Ok. You like the turn based combat style, but with a bit of real time button pressing? Got it.'

Do we know if the composer of the previous games is returning for this one?

@Mana_Knight honestly I don’t mind when Nintendo experiments since there’s nothing wrong with experimenting but I feel like they should make a new IP dedicated to experimenting and take any results that people like and give it it’s own series.

@Greatluigi Oh, I am always happy for them to try new things! It would be boring otherwise. Personally, I love Super Paper Mario, which did away with the turn based and made it a platform game really. That is what makes them such a fun company, but I think with the Paper Mario/RPG style series people kept wanting the PM64/TTYD style system and were not getting it for the longest time.

@russell-marlow hopefully.

@DiamondCore I’m not sure, it’d be cool though!

Didn't think a new game would actually happen...I was just expecting like, a remake of Partners or something. lol

I would say this is more of a revival for Mario RPGs. And it's worth pointing out that this Mario & Luigi is brand new, not a remake, so that just makes it even better. This is like getting a new Paper Mario in the classic story, which I still hope will happen as well someday.

Looking at screenshots, it's interesting that there's some electrical theme going on with appliance-like designs and electrical outlet characters, complete with the bad guys being the Extension Corps. Reminds me of Luigi having electrical powers in Superstar Saga. "THUNDER!"

Yes, after 2 remakes that seemingly returned to form, now we’re getting a new game that uses new, unique characters and the classic battle engine.

Absolutely cannot wait for this. I’m very happy with all of these Mario RPGs coming out so quick! Hopefully we continue seeing these unique Mario RPGs! Just in one year we got 3 games that seem to be a return to form.

I’m excited to see more about this game, they haven’t talked too much about the plot, definitely looking forward to that.

It's so weird that after a decade of Mario RPGs just declining into irrelevancy and literally bankrupting a developer, we just get three in one year.

I almost worry its too much, you're gonna burn people out. But I'm overjoyed to see they're all back. This is peak Mario, no more safe, samey nonsense, no more undercooked games, no more "Mario 3 and World nostalgia only". Never stop making games like this. It's just as important to me as the platformers.

@kkslider5552000 I mean I'm already burned out and that's just from watching a friend play the Super Mario RPG remake, and myself trying TTYD and finding it a cumbersome and not very fun game. I'm playing TOK again instead now and loving it, but I've got my fill when I've completed it.

Oh yeah, right....NEW characters/enemies. No generic Toads in sight!
_{if they were there I missed them, lol}

Just glad it's just a normal new game. I skipped out on Paper Jam because...eh, it just looked bland compared to other games.

@kkslider5552000 Yeah it's an odd choice, but I'm glad they're returning to how Mario RPGs were made to be.
