Mario & Luigi: Brothership review for Nintendo Switch

System: Switch
Release date: November 8, 2024
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Acquire / Nintendo
The last year or so has been a remarkable year for RPGs, especially ones with “Mario” in the title. We’ve already been graced with lavishly produced remakes of both Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door – and now, Nintendo is closing out the year with a brand new, wholly original RPG in the form of Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The Mario & Luigi series was originally helmed by Alphadream before their unfortunate closure in 2019, for Brothership, Nintendo has tapped Way of the Samurai and Tenchu developer Acquire to carry the torch forward. While the franchise’s new stewards have done an admirable job adhering to the series’ identity, some considerable missteps prevent the latest Mario & Luigi entry from reaching the lofty heights of its predecessors.

The developers of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom have responded to a couple of criticisms – namely the game’s frame rate and menu system for echoes.
There are certain parts of the experience in which the frame rate can move between 60 and 30 FPS. In the end though, co-director Tomomi Sano said this was the “best option” available.
Link almost spoke in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

According to the developers behind The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Link came close to speaking in the game.
Series producer Eiji Aonuma shared that information in a recent interview. While the original plan was to have Link speak in Echoes of Wisdom, co-director Satoshi Terada said that it didn’t feel right. Since he hadn’t really spoken in a game before, that also made things difficult. Having Tri as Zelda’s companion is ultimately where things took a shift.
Here’s what Aonuma and Terada shared in the interview, as published by Famitsu:
Lottacoins Island gate codes guide in Mario & Luigi Brothership
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Somewhere around ten hours into Mario & Luigi Brothership, you’ll come across Lottacoins Island as part of the main quest. While we won’t go into any particular story details here, you’ll wind up having to figure out and then use codes to unlock gates to other areas. You’re supposed to find pieces of paper that show you an object, and from there you’re supposed to count the number of objects physically present in the area to determine the digit. But if you’re looking to skip all the searching, you’ve come to the right place – we have the Lottacoins Island gate codes so you can do just that.
