Mario & Luigi: Brothership has this week received a new trailer focused on "enjoying the action in Concordia".
It's brief, but if you haven't been keeping up with the updates, it's another great look at what exactly you can expect from the battle mechanics in this latest entry. It also follows on from a separate video, welcoming fans to the new location.
Here's a bit about the story in this latest outing via Nintendo's website:
"The brothers return for a brand-new adventure on the high seas! Set sail with Mario and Luigi on Shipshape Island (part ship, part island) and journey through the vast world of Concordia. Launch out of Shipshape’s cannon to visit, explore, and quest your way through islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. Meet new friends along the way, like Connie and Snoutlet (definitely not a pig), and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser, who may help—or hinder—you on your journey!"
This game will be arriving exclusively for Nintendo Switch on 7th November 2024. Pre-orders have already gone live as well, with certain goodies up for grabs in select regions.

Now all we need is Wario & Waluigi adventures.
A poor distress creature pleads for Wario to save his kindgom. Wario declines, until it's mentioned there's a beautiful princess waiting. Wario realizes Princess = loads of money. So he recruits Waluigi, and together they save the princess' bank.
"encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser, who may help—or hinder—you on your journey!"
Now I am going to be suspicious of Peach throughout the whole game!
So looking forward to this one.
Really love the art direction of this game. Seriously considering playing the whole series from the start.
@Pillowpants My friend played the GBA games on NSO in preparation and really loved them.
Yep, keeps on looking like the typical Mario & Luigi goodness if not even better than ever (love the new hilarious failed hammer command animation), so looking forward to playing this as soon as my physical copy arrives and of course also reading Nintendo Life's review of it!
Sorry Luigi, I giggled when Mario's hammer fell on his head.
Game looks great and the cover art is really nice. For someone like me, who prefers Nintendo's cheerful and colourful games, this is actually a great last year for the Switchi.
@Pillowpants I just played through the super star saga 3DS remake and can’t recommend it enough. The combat is so satisfying with absolutely wacky and colorful animations. Based on what I’m seeing of brothership, the look is a bit different but the animations and overall vibes are similar between the two. It’s worth checking out for sure
This continues to look great, these battles are gonna be a lot of fun!
This looks nice but something about the visuals I'm not a huge fan of. I feel like that cell shaded design nowadays gives it sort of a cheap look. I kind of wish they went with the Mario wonder designs. Maybe it will grow on me.
Pff this makes the wait even harder.
Recently sailed the high seas to get Bowser's Inside Story, and it might be one of the best games ever. I think I'll buy this game just as thanks for BIS.
And I love the art style! During the ML vs Sephiroth craze people said Mario and Luigi had saturday-morning cartoon physics, and I'm so glad that's still here! All we need confirmation for now is the return of our favourite conlang Fake Italian. I hope the new VA is up to the task!
So is the only place to preorder this in the US thru PlayAsia, b/c that’s gonna be a no from me.🤪
@sunny63 I'm currently playing right now, almost done, too. This is my first time playing the series in anticipation of the new game and so far BiS is my favorite without question!
Only thing I don't like about this new entry is that Mario & Luigi now have the proper colors on their caps, I always liked the black letters.
If that's my biggest complain, then I know I'm in for a great time.
@cylemmulo The character and visual design are based off the style of Masanori Sato, an artist whose Mario designs were pivotal to giving the M&L series its voice from the very start. If it looked like Mario Wonder it'd be taking away a big part of the series' identity.
That said, you're not wrong in that the art direction could do with some refinement.
This game looks more polished than my LinkedIn profile right before a job interview.
