As a longtime fan of the Mario & Luigi series, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension about the upcoming release of “Mario & Luigi: Brothership.” The reveal during the Nintendo Direct back in June was a pleasant surprise, but nine years is a long gap between installments. Add to that the fact that AlphaDream, the developer responsible for all previous games, shut down in 2019, and it’s understandable that fans like myself were left wondering if the series had met its end.
The game titled “Mario & Luigi: Brothership” won’t become available until November 7th, but Micromania, a French retailer, has already unveiled an attractive Steelbook for the Nintendo Switch version of this RPG. This Steelbook showcases art of Mario on the front and Luigi on the back, in line with the game’s distinctive art style. At present, no preorder incentives have been disclosed for North America, but it’s likely that some will be announced as the release date approaches. Given that Nintendo has two other first-party games scheduled for release before “Mario & Luigi: Brothership”, these may receive priority initially

Hopefully this Steelbook will end up making it to North America! The design is somewhat basic, but there’s something really sleek and clean about the overall look. Longtime fans of the Mario & Luigi games are definitely going to want this one in their collection! Unfortunately, Nintendo does not have the best track record with bringing these types of Steelbook bonuses to the region. There have been some really great designs that were only available to importers, including the Steelbook for The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, which featured a design meant to evoke the original Game Boy. For now, fans in North America will have to hope for the best, or resort to eBay when the game comes out in November.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the next RPG in the long-running series. Revealed during a Nintendo Direct back in June, the announcement came as a very big surprise. It’s been nine years since the last series entry, and AlphaDream, the developer responsible for all of the previous games, shut down in 2019. Given both of these factors, fans had assumed the series would be left for dead! Clearly that’s not the case, but Nintendo has remained quiet about the studio working on Brothership, only revealing that previous developers on the series have returned for this new game. Given Nintendo’s secrecy lately, we probably won’t know who is working on the game until it releases. The company has been keeping a tight lid on its development partners over the last few years, and this time is no exception.
