Otani, who has been working the series since Partners in Time on Nintendo DS, said that it’s been a challenge to match the franchise’s artwork with the in-game graphics. This is what partially promoted the decision to feature full 3D visuals on Mario & Luigi: Brothership and release it for Nintendo Switch.

The entire Mario & Luigi series, ranked

Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments

For the most part, the Mario & Luigi series fell dormant after the release of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Sure, we got remakes of Superstar Saga and eventually Bowser’s Inside Story on Nintendo 3DS – but for the longest time, there were no new entries at all. Then AlphaDream closed its doors after the somewhat expected failure of the Bowser’s Inside Story remake, which seemingly sealed the deal on the fate of this franchise. To everyone’s surprise, however, Mario & Luigi: Brothership was revealed at this year’s summer Nintendo Direct, and it’s developed by Acquire, the team behind Octopath Traveler. And with this new game on the horizon, we figure it’s as good a time as any to take a look at the rest of the Mario & Luigi series and how each of them holds up today.
