Mario & Luigi: Brothership Trailer Offers New Look at the Game’s Battle System

As a seasoned gamer who has traversed through numerous realms and dimensions with my beloved duo, Mario & Luigi, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia coupled with palpable excitement as I witness the unveiling of their latest adventure, “Mario & Luigi: Brothership.” Having grown up on the Game Boy Advance, DS, and 3DS, I’ve shared countless hours of bonding time with these brothers, and to see them grace the Switch is a testament to the timeless charm they possess.


Nintendo is gradually revealing details about the upcoming RPG titled Mario & Luigi: Brothership, scheduled for release on Switch later in the year. Today, the company showcased a new trailer that primarily concentrates on the game’s combat system. The Brothership will expand upon aspects from previous installments, featuring turn-based battles with a touch of platforming. The Bros. Attacks play a significant role in this system, enabling Mario and Luigi to inflict heavy damage by collaborating. The short trailer provides a glimpse into the game’s lively graphics, offering series novices a sneak peek at how these combat sequences unfold.

The new trailer for Mario & Luigi: Brothership can be found below.

From the preview, it’s clear that Mario and Luigi will be able to attack adversaries by jumping or wielding their hammers, a feature that has been a mainstay of the series. Players must adapt their tactics based on the type of enemy they encounter; for instance, an enemy with spikes might harm them if they attempt a jump, whereas a hammer attack would be more effective. Timing is crucial too; in one scene from the trailer, Mario seems to execute a hammer attack, but the strike comes too late, causing the hammer’s head to shatter and hit Luigi rather than the enemy!

The Mario & Luigi series originally debuted on Game Boy Advance and became a mainstay on Nintendo’s DS and 3DS handheld devices. Now, their latest adventure, “Brothership,” is exclusively designed for the Switch console, showcasing its enhanced visual capabilities. While preserving the original graphic style reminiscent of games like “Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga” and “Bowser’s Inside Story,” the presentation appears to have significantly upgraded. Particularly striking are the character animations, which portray Mario and Luigi realistically responding to game events with their signature slapstick humor.

The Mario & Luigi: Brothership game is set to arrive over a month from now on November 7th. With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom releasing next week, it’s expected that the company will ramp up promotion for Brothership in the form of trailers, press releases, and maybe even preorder incentives. As of now, there are many aspects of the game that remain unknown, but hopefully we’ll begin to learn more soon!
