Nintendo Announces Mario & Luigi: Dream Team For 3DS

The choppy-ish animation and clay-looking figures remind me of N64 games... I prefer sprites, personally. I wonder if they did that on purpose?

I'm also curious if they can make the amazing characters that live in the M&L games come to life with polygraphics.

I actually swore at this reveal!

Easily the best news in the whole presentation for me. I'd been posting in all the build up articles that I wanted it, but never actually expected it. I just hope it doesn't have the RPG elements cut back like Sticker Star did.

SO EXCITED!

Wow, this looks amazing. I'm definitely going to buy this!

It instantly has one of the best titles ever!

Goody. I hope I will enjoy this truckloads more than Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story. I like the Mario & Luigi series, but my God the later two were so disappointing after the almighty Superstar Saga...

Man I've absolutely loved all of the M&L games They're just so much fun to play haha Was always wondering when a 4th would come out & now my dreams have come true What a great suprise!

I hate the Mario and Luigi series. Its nothing compared to Mario RPG legend of the seven stars. I wish they'd just make a true sequel already. The isometric view of Mario RPG would lend itself superbly to the 3ds. I wish they'd get the ball rolling on a new Mario RPG already :/

This shall be most awesome. Likely the most exciting thing for me from the Nintendo Direct.

I almost flipped out in joy when I saw this new Mario & Luigi game appear on the Nintendo Direct. IMO, it's been a bit too long since Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story was released. Anyways, looks like Luigi is made out to be the star so far because of the trailer. Let's hope so. I hope the story is good.

Time to update my signature I guess. More gaming goodness to buy!

Well, I liked the first 3 Mario & Luigi titles, so I'm checking this one out.

Hopefully Fawful is back

Now I'm excited for this game.

Did anybody notice, in the EU stream he said "The 3DS Version will be released this summer"... I'm probably overlooking it..

@Placlu Yeah i noticed it.

Finally, the game I was looking for most since 2009, Mario and Luigi RPG 4 is announced. I was so surprised at first and didn't believe its actually happening.
Although the footage so far makes me feel it won't be as good as bowser's inside story for some reason:/ Last time I wasn't impressed by mario RPG footage was sticker star, and my fears came true since it was far inferior to any mario RPG, it was okay. I hope I'm wrong on this one since I wanted it so badly.
btw FAWFUL MUST RETURN AND HAVE CHORTLES!

Fantastic news! I LOVE the Mario & Luigi games

OMG

(I have been saying this quite a lot today!)

Could being in a dream signify a return by Wart?!

YES!!! I am so getting this! I loved Super Star Saga and Bowser's Inside Story!

Best news ever!!!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE(!) the Mario & Luigi games! And coming this summer as well! Great news!

This is already tons better for me than the awful Paper Mario Sticker Star game.

If it is in a dream this time, I think we will have an appearence of a certain mario bros 2 villian.

This was quite a suprise!

Defo my favourite RPGs series. Insta insta insta - buy all the way

Where am I going to find the time and money to play all these games...

wow. this is truly the year of Luigi... Luigi everywere... Oh my Arceus it happend!

...Starlow?

Insta-buy for me!

@FJOJR ''Could being in a dream signify a return by Wart?!''
That's a good point! I'd love it!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO buying this! Bowsers Inside Story is one of my all-time favourite video games ever!

Wow the 3ds is on a roll. Great stuff.

I HAVE CHORTLES!

My favorite game series! THANK YOU

RIP My Bank Account. Sheesh, I just hope this game comes out on a payday.

So many great 3DS games coming up! But I was a bit disappointed by the footage shown for this game. Though it wasn't much, as I'm sure they're still finishing it up, but I hope it's amazing. An instant classic like Superstar Saga was.....

I'll be getting it

Hopefully this is better than the disappointing Sticker Star..

Looks pretty cool! And fun that we'll see it as soon as summer!

I still think the first one's the best though, and from there it went downhill. But they still are fun games, and it looks like this game has a totally different style (a bit clay-like, as someone said). Looking forward to it!

Update: Saw some footage on youtube! It looks awesome! It also reminds me a bit of Mario rpg! Maybe that's just me?

I know I am in the minority here but I didn't like M&LBIS, but I have been meaning to go back and replay it for years know. Maybe I will pick this one up instead...

Please have partners!

I didn't see this coming at all.

Add that to the growing list of amazing 2013 3DS titles, and this truly is the year of the 3DS- or uh, Luigi.

I love the art direction they took with the new game. It's a nice departure from the usual sprites in the series.

Can't wait!

FINALLY!!!!! YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING!

We need more 3D Mario games for the 3DS like super Mario Galaxy 3D

Interested on this one. I wonder if Alphadream is the one developing it. The dev's name would be a perfect fit, if you know what I mean.

this games, is already a must have for me...

@MarioIdent "We need more 3D Mario games for the 3DS like Super Mario Galaxy 3D."
You sure about that?

This looks AWESOME Another Must Buy for me...

I really hope Wart is the main villain in this game like in the old super Mario 2

I KNEW IT!!!!! I really had the feeling nintendo would make the 4th installment of mario and luigi after sticker star was announced, and I wasn't wrong!!!! The graphics look pretty neat; the 3ds really is on a roll right now that the best combo nintendo could pull right now is if they announced a metroid or a zelda game (or both) for the 3ds. I, too, agree that the best villain that could suit this installment is Wart.

@c0ldfire16 Super mario rpg legend of the seven stars was a project between squaresoft and nintendo, I won't deny that while rpg was a perfect game, both mario and luigi and paper mario took the best from it and evolved perfectly on their own; there won't be a sequel because squaresoft holds the rights of characters like geno and mallow and also because I think nintendo thinks it unnecessary if they already have smash hits like m/l and paper m. Super mario rpg was awesome but it retained a lot of squaresoft fighting style, while the other series are so nintendoish and that makes them perfect.

Radar'd.

I'm extremely happy! after Paper Mario came out I never thought the sequel to BIN would come this year...! but... what the hell is with the plot? explore Luigi's dreams? that sounds interesting... but why!?

I'm not sure. It does look fun, and it looks more fun then Paper Mario SS. I guess I keep hoping they'll combine the two into a single grouping of games. Have Paper Mario's aesthetics combined with M&L's combat and humour.

It's good to see a new M&L game on the 3DS. Didn't really know if they think Paper Mario would be enough PlumbRPG for the system.
And the idea has a lot of potential. Can't wait for more info on the story/scenarios.

Ok,that looks and sounds awesome. But it makes me wish that they didn't release a ... I guess you can say "dumbed down" version of Paper Mario on the 3DS and made a real one for the Wii or Wii U. Still,love me some M&L.

I "flipped out" when this game was announced! Really excited for it. Now that i think about it, this was probably what i was most excited about from the Direct. Hmm....

Best 3DS game to come out this year.

My only concern is that the game will be humorless, while it seems to be fun, it was the humor that really made the last 3 so memorable.

Once that doubt is removed, this will most likely be one of the best games of 2013.

@Magolor,

Of course it will have humor! That's one of the franchise's trademarks! But the question is: Will the animation be as expressive as in past titles! The style of past titles allowed for very expressive animation (especially in the case of Luigi and Mario. Think of Luigi slurping coffee! It looked so cool!) ! It was much more expressive then in regular Mario games!

But this game has a more 3D style, so we have to see how that works out

I cant wait, I absolutely love this series!

To have THREE better Nintendo Directs in a row that were better than any last year...
Mario & Luigi 4 for meeeeee!!!

A new Mario & Luigi game? YES!

Amazing! Mario and Luigi would have to be my second favorite series of all time next to Mario Kart. My favorite game of all time, (Sorry Nintendo! ;P) is made obvious by my avatar.
