[Review] Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions
Posted on 7 years ago by Vincent Ward in 3DS, Reviews | 2 Comments
System: 3DS
Release date: October 6, 2017
Developer: AlphaDream
Publisher: Nintendo
For many of us, Mario titles were the games we fell in love with growing up. Whether you were raised on the NES, N64, or even playing the more recent releases like Super Mario 3D World on Wii U, it’s likely you have some fond memories. For me, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was that game. I remember the very concept of having a game this large in my pocket with me everywhere I went fascinated me all that time ago, and to hear that Nintendo is finally looking back on it with a glorious remodel filled my heart with joy. As someone who has already completed Superstar Saga several times over, I was a bit concerned about this new look being enough to buckle me in for a revisit. Yet thanks to some new additions, a trip down memory lane was definitely worth it.
