Mario & Luigi Brothership 1.0.1 update

Nintendo just released a new version 1.0.1 update for Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

The patch comes at an interesting time. The game has been out since November, but we’re just now getting this update. Still, it’s one you’ll want to install if you’re playing. While it doesn’t include new content, a handful of bugs have been fixed.

The full rundown is as follows:

Today’s notice mentions that the broadcast will be roughly 2025 minutes long. The publisher will be highlighting its 2025 lineup, though there’ll also be “a few more surprises”.
