With the recent release of Mario & Luigi: Brothership, it’s a better time than ever to get into the rest of the series. And with Nintendo Switch Online’s Expansion Pack, that’s rather easy. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, the first game in the series, is available as part of the Game Boy Advance app. After completing Brothership, we gave the original Superstar Saga another shot (making for this writer’s fourth unique playthrough). Despite the fact that it has a remake available on Nintendo 3DS that released in 2017, this game holds up surprisingly well – and in a way it’s actually refreshing to play after going through Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Here’s why Superstar Saga is still worth your time today. We’ll be discussing a few story spoilers, so keep that in mind before you continue.
Ready at Dawn was sadly shuttered last year, but during the span of the studio’s twenty years in operation, a port of Okami for Wii was a passion project that the company worked on. In a recent interview, co-founder Dawn Andrea Pessino spoke about what went into making it happen and the struggles involved.
Things began when Ready at Dawn and Capcom were talking during GDC many years ago. Pessino indicated that the challenges started due to a lack of resources from Capcom. Not much was provided and everything was in Japanese.
November 18: JanduSoft, Megalixir Games, and RCK Games have announced that they’re teaming up on the visual novel Destino Indomable, which is planned for Nintendo Switch. It will be available in early 2025.

A new physical release of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has now gone up for pre-order on Nintendo Switch.
At one point, it seems that Nintendo was set to produce a boxed copy – at least in Europe. However, that has now been scrapped apparently. As of now Japan is the only confirmed region with a physical release. But if you’re looking to pick up the game in boxed form, you’ll be able to do so with the Japanese release. English and other languages will be supported, and since Nintendo Switch is region free, anyone can import a copy.
Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi was recently asked to comment on the Nintendo DS game Okamiden in light of the recent Okami sequel announcement.
Depending on how you look at it, the series is in somewhat of a tricky spot. Technically, in some ways, Okamiden is a sequel to Okami – but it didn’t have any involvement with Hideki Kamiya, the IP’s original creator. Now Kamiya is on board to create a true sequel. However, some fans might be wondering what that means for Okamiden.
