Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood release date and more
If you’re a big Mario Bros fan, you’ll be happy to know that the game is coming out this year, meaning we won’t have to wait too long before we can jump in. The official day for publication is 7 November 2024. Of course, it will only be released exclusively on Nintendo Switchso get your consoles ready.
Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood Gameplay Details
Mario and Luigi have always been a duo, working together to defeat Bowser and save Princess Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood will take that teamwork to the next level. It is a two-player experience where one player controls Mario and the other Luigi and progresses through multiple levels. The only way to get through the various obstacles within the levels is to work together, combining your skills to perform combo moves and relying on Mario and Luigi’s bond.
Along with these usual stages, there will also be turn-based combat. Mario and Luigi take turns making moves against the enemy and at the same time must react in real time to avoid incoming attacks or charge their own attacks. This is a unique twist on turn-based combat that brings ideas from past Mario games like Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga or Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
You’ll meet some fun new characters in the Mario world, as well as interact with some iconic characters we all know and love, like Bowser and Princess Peach. All these characters will be important to the plot, but you will only focus on playing as Mario and Luigi.
