Review Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (DS)
Is the third time the charm for the Mario & Luigi series?
After years of hearing Super Mario RPG fans clamor for a sequel, Nintendo put developer AlphaDream to work creating a new Mario-themed RPG for their Game Boy Advance system back in 2003. But instead of copying the same ideas used in the original Super Mario RPG, AlphaDream came up with the...

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story News
Poll What's The Best RPG Starring Mario?
Paper, Partners, and everything in between
Mario, the world's favourite platforming plumber, has done everything — kart racing, tennis, golf, partying, and a little bit of turn-based RPG-ing. 1996 saw Mario's RPG debut in the Super NES favourite, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, and since then, he's starred in 14 different RPGs (plus...
Soapbox Retro Nintendo Games Cost Too Much, But Nostalgia Is Expensive
Second-hand Nintendo games are notoriously pricey, but why?
The year is 1999. I'm in a GAME, in Loughborough town centre. The grey carpet is sticky, the awful fluorescent lights are so dim I can barely see, and everything sort of smells like stale sweat. I'm standing in the N64 section with my brother, both of us clutching a small fortune in pocket...

About The Game
Mario & Luigi Show Their Intestinal Fortitude!
In his evil plot to take over the Mushroom Kingdom, Fawful tricks Bowser into eating a magic mushroom. The mushroom causes Bowser to begin inhaling everything around him, including Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach! Do the Mario Bros. have the guts to rescue Peach and escape?
FEATURES:
- Players are in control of two separate storylines. One features Bowser and his efforts to stop an arch-villain from taking over his castle. Meanwhile, inside Bowser, the microbe-sized Mario & Luigi must muscle their way through challenges and keep their nerve if they want to find a way out. They take action to control Bowser from the inside - but without his knowledge.
- Players can switch between storylines at will. What happens inside Bowser affects what he's doing on the outside. Sometimes Mario & Luigi must solve puzzles and challenges behind the scenes to help Bowser overcome various obstacles and advance the plot.
- Players must make well-timed button presses to enhance their performance during battles and challenges. In some battles, Bowser grows so large that players must turn their Nintendo DS or Nintendo DSi system sideways, blow into the microphone or tap on the touch screen with the stylus to keep up with the action.
- The game features the same hilarious dialogue that has been the hallmark of the Mario & Luigi series.

i loved the mario rpg from the snes one and paper mario! definatley getting this!

When the DSi was released here in the Netherlands, Nintendo also released a commercial booklet and it clearly shows that this game had to be released in July 2009. Strange...
This is an awesome game I am dying to play D:
im not so sure about this game
Less than three weeks to go.
yes im campin out in front of my gamestop
Man that game looks like it's a blast to play...going to picking it up soon!
I just went to a gamestop a few hours ago and I reserved Mario&Luigi RPG 3 and they told me that it was going to be released on september 15. Nearly every internet site is claiming it will be released september 14, i'm not really sure what to believe. Did the clerk make a mistake or is that the day gamestop gets mario&luigi 3? I'm pretty confused can someone help me out....
It ships on the 14th and most stores should have it on the 15th.
This game is the reason I may finally give in and buy a DSi.
i just beat it yesterday
HAPPY HAPPY
Look's fun, might have to get this one. (But I lost my Mario Cart DS! It will come before any other ;p)
I love the game(I played it,but I don't have it).

This is curently my most favourite RPG, and my most favourite DS game that I own. Highly recommended to all alike. (The review did not lie.)
lol I bet the final boss is an organ like the brain
I dunno, I got Paper Mario and it was fun and all but I got bored pretty quickly and never got past Chapter 4.
already have it its beast!!! dont play the game if your left or right buttons dont work cause its hard to play with your broken buttons but still good game
I just got this game. It's pretty superb.
@James you bet! best rpg evah in my book!
@zeldadude It's not that good — heck, it's probably not even the best RPG on DS — but it is a stack of fun and well worth playing.
One of the funniest games on DS.
I have fury!
Awesome! Some boss battles are really hard and annoying, though. I have chortles!
BEST Mario RPG!!
Perfect in almost every way, this game helped shape my perceptions of what RPGs should strive to be.
