Mario & Luigi Brothership reviews

Mario & Luigi: Brothership will be out on Switch in just a few days, and ahead of the launch, first reviews are starting to drop.

The Mario & Luigi series is finally returning after many years. It’s the franchise’s first appearance on Switch and the first one not made by AlphaDream – instead, Acquire worked with Nintendo on the project.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is launching on Switch this week, and ahead of the release, the initial reviews are now coming in. Nintendo just lifted the official embargo.

One of the big selling points is just how much content is in Super Mario Party Jamboree. Nintendo has noted that it’s the series’ biggest entry yet – there are over 110 minigames, new online and offline modes, and various customization choices. Pauline and Ninji are also here – you can check out the full roster and boards here.
