New Trademark Suggests The Mario & Luigi Series Is Making A Comeback

Mario and Luigi All Stars:

All five main games, both “minion” subgames, in one package on switch.

Probably not happening.

I wouldn't mind, though I never bothered playing the last two they made.

GBA/DS collection perhaps? HD facelift and re-release? Both of those seem more likely than a new entry to me.

@Roam85

Probably not but would be nice though.

Is there any news about alpha dream?
Bankruptcy is not the end for a company, I hope Nintendo will just pick them up

I'd be happy with it taking a break; I found the 3DS entries kinda lacklustre. I don't blame Alphadream though, and it's a shame what happened to them.

Maybe Partners in Time remake?

Yes with Mario & Luigi teaming Up with Wario & Waluigi.

@Roam85 That would be like 500 hours of content. It would be incredible.

i want Paper Mario back yet Nintendo just wants focus on Mario and Luigi

Honestly, I’d rather a new proper Paper Mario, not the garbage ones they made last gen. That, or a collection of N64, Thousand Year Door and Super. Mario and Luigi was OK but the games just weren’t as good as the Paper Mario games.

@KBuckley27 woah in sync

I don't like Lets Go Digital slogan. 😒
It should be Let's Go Physical, Go Away Digital Download & Streaming Only
The future is NOT a digital stuffs & streaming only.
I hate the future like that.
That's the stupidest ideas ever.

That'd be cool, but I don't think they'd have the same flair the AlphaDream ones had

"Mobile devices"... No, please. No.

It'd be nice to get a collection, especially since Partners In Time is the only game in the series that didn't get a 3DS version making it the black sheep. If they just made took all the 3DS versions and reworked them to be playable on a single screen with the Switch, and then updated Dream Team to look on par with the same single screen update, that'd be amazing.

@Roam85 Yes! Make it so!

@KBuckley27 I want Paper Mario too!

@Anti-Matter like or not, physical games will go away at some point. I'm not a fan of that either though

Some people move on.

But not us.

My dream mario and luigi game would be a world tour type game where your x and y button characters change. You get Baby Mario and Baby Luigi for one act, Bowser for another, Peach and Daisy for one, Yoshi for another, Toad and Toaddette for one, DK for another, and Wario and Waluigi for one.

And a new game plus where you unlock paper mario and can change to whatever x and y characters you want.

@HammerKirby
No.
Physical stuffs will NOT go away.
They are still important for me and other peoples who never like digital only stuffs.

Well, it would be nice for new Mario and Luigi game. Although, I heard a rumor that Mario and Luigi were addicted to mushrooms. Was just a rumor though.

Damn, was hoping Paper Mario would become a real RPG again.

@duffmmann don't you mean partners in time, dream team was 3ds exclusive.

Suspect an collection or something in the future

@Anti-Matter
....... You know a lot of Hispanics have simple names for video games, and electronics in general.
Digital is used for anything that requires a machine to play. juegos digitales (digital games),etc.
(At least that's how my family does it a lot.)

Think of it when people call anything on TV (maybe even movies) that are animated a cartoon. Simple and to the point.

Please let this be true. This is one of the best Mario spin-offs for me.

New games maybe, ports no.

Not gonna get too excited over this as IP filings can mean just about anything, but at least it confirms the series isn't dead. I have the two 3DS entries backlogged but haven't been able to dig into this series yet. I've heard great things!

@Heavyarms55 they've kind of done that already with the 3DS re-releases. Minus Partners in Time. Switch ports would be nice. But after two re-releases recently. A brand new game would be nicer.

@Roam85 Great, thanks for making me want that now

I say a remake of the original game.built from ground up or a new game

Whatever happens...hopefully the next game will go back to being great again. I kinda skipped out on Paper Jam not just because of Papaer Mario, but because of what Paper Mario is going through. I miss the unique characters and stories. I looked at Paper Jam's final boss and...it's just Bowser. No new villains or anything, yes Dream Team's final was also Bowser, but at least there was still another new main villain, and I liked that little plot twist at the end.

Paper Jam...it was just Bowsers...whoo...should've been Fawful and Dementio, lol.

Seriously Nintendo?! releasing the Mario & Luigi remakes on a dying handheld, although I love the 3ds don’t get me wrong, unless Nintendo is planning to release it later on the switch that would be great along with Metroid Samus Returns, comm on Nintendo we’re waiting for It, take our money please 😆

I'm still waiting for Super Mario RPG 2.

@CooperFrank Could just mean handheld

To me, continuing this series would be great. I LOVED Paper Craft and am actually just about to beat Dream Team finally. My gripe with the latter is that is draaaggggiiinnggggg toward the end and I’m finding myself skipping what seems like padding dialogue and puzzles. There’s an obstacle in front of almost everything which is getting a bit tiresome but everything else is great. The gameplay and RPG mechanics are fun AF, and the writing and battling are engaging, perhaps the most engaging battling I’ve ever played. I actually have Bowser’s Inside Story on backorder on amazon... says it’ll be delivered in 2021 lol. Not sure what to make of that... hope it comes sooner than later so I can pick it up right after I beat Dream Team.
Anyway, yes continue it on! These games are definitely worthy of future entries.
EDIT: contacted Amazon yesterday and they fixed the delivery date. It’ll be coming later today now! Really excited to start another M&L game!

"...this may not be anything more than Nintendo protecting its older IP."

I'm sure that's all this is, for now. Nothing to see here.

@Lethal_Equo haha yes, my bad

@Anti-Matter Completely agree, but I'm afraid we're part of a minority here. Besides games... look at blu-ray/cd's etc... maybe they'll become hip in the future again though ; like vinyl.

Do we know if Alphadream closed? I know it declared bankruptcy, but that doesn’t always mean the end... marvel was bankrupt once too.

Pretty sure this is Nintendo protecting their IP, not an indication of an upcoming Mario & Luigi release.

I would LOVE to see this series come to the Switch but what I want more than anything is MARIO GOLF!!!
What is the holdup, Nintendo??!?

Superstar Saga is the best game in the series (and one of my favorite games of all time) and I hope they go back to that formula. Keep it "basic" and just make it bigger.

They released this on the DS, what did they expect

I can't imagine how this would work on a smaller screen than on a Nintendo device. I don't like other games that can't handle movement of characters without a movement pad. I just don't see it working on a mobile phone. Just do your IPs on Nintendo consoles, Nintendo. I wouldn't see your IPs on a mobile device without specific peripherals made for devices. And I don't think it will sell. The Nintendo Switch is perfect for games like these and popular IPs. I don't really play Nintendo video games on mobile phones besides Pokémon Go.

@xHHHx hell, it's not even just that. they decided to make a remake of the 3ed game in the series after the first rather then the second game, Partners in Time. when making remakes it's best to stick the proper order and prioritize the older game first. in this case they skipped over a game.
gamefreak also made a similar mistake before this by releasing a second set of gen 1 remakes rather then making the gen 4 remakes people are still clamoring for. that also brought forth the usual griping about gen 1 favoritism but pikachu/meowth/charmander/mew lines are like the agumon/gabumon/angemon/devimon/calumon lines in digimon, jack frosts/pixies/angels/succubi in smt & persona, ect; theres the main mascott or a counterpart to it(pikachu, agumon, jack frost) with sub mascotts or counterparts to them withing each game or series.
of course, i'm just rambling on at this point...

TYOD remake or sequel. Full.

@Franklin that’s what I’ve been hoping for but with Nintendo’s focus on accessibility I doubt paper Mario will ever be a proper RPG again...

@datamonkey

I'd settle for an HD port of the original.

At the end "covers for mobile phones", all i can say is:

@Don I’d love a Partners in Time remake. It’s still my favourite entry in the series!

Can someone please educate me on would a global company with operations in the US, Jaoan and UK generates these type of Trademark filling from x or y countries? Have no idea why this is coming from Argentina and I live here. Thanks.

@KoopaTheQuick Me too, it's on the SNES Mini which I own but I want it on Switch.

Just because the company that had the contract to make the series is gone doesn't mean Nintendo doesn't own the series still. Maybe there will be new entries, maybe there won't, but either way it's Nintendo's not AlphaDream's series, just as Pokemon Mystery Dungeon would still belong to TPC/Nintendo even if Spike Chunsoft were gone.

@Franklin definitely me too. I even signed a petition for it a year or so back with other fan’s trying to get it done!

Hopefully one day it’ll happen...

I hope so. And please don't drench the game with toads and stock-enemies, please?!
