New Mario & Luigi Game Coming this Year

Nintendo kicked off their Direct presentation with the reveal of a brand new Mario & Luigi game for the Nintendo Switch.

It’s been inching on nearly a decade since the last Mario & Luigi game was released. The RPG-esque adventures were always a hoot. Offering a different experience in the Mushroom Kingdom, while still feeling like the Mario we all know and love. As such, I’m pretty excited to see the franchise get a new entry, designed for the Switch:

All aboard for an island-hopping RPG adventure starring Mario and Luigi! The brothers are back for a brand-new entry in the Mario & Luigi series, where they set sail on Shipshape Island (part ship, part island) to navigate the vast world of Concordia. Play as the mustachioed pair and explore islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. Along the way, meet new friends to help you on your journey and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser. Keep the “Brothership” afloat and rely on Mario and Luigi’s bond to save the day by employing Bros. Moves to get past obstacles and powerful Bros. Attacks to claim victory in a dynamic twist on turn-based combat.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership hits Nintendo Switch on November 7, 2024.
