Nintendo often comes up with all sorts of ways to market its games and for the upcoming release Mario & Luigi: Brothership, it's decided to release 'A Sea Shanty'.
In this brand new adventure, the Mario brothers will set sail on 'Shipshape Island' (part ship, part island) as they journey the vast world of Concordia. You'll even be launched out of Shipshape's cannon to "visit, explore, and quest" across islands.
Pre-orders for this upcoming release are now live and you'll also be able to use Nintendo's Game Vouchers to redeem this title. Here's a bit about what we thought of the game during our 'hands on':
"Mario & Luigi: Brothership is pushing all the right buttons for us. It's bigger, bolder, funnier and more involving than ever, and the combat system has just enough goofiness and strategy mixed in to keep us excited for what's next for our Italian stallions."
On a somewhat related note, Nintendo this week launched 'Nintendo Music' - a new smartphone application available to Switch Online subscribers. It allows users to soundtracks from classic and modern Nintendo games.
What do you think of the above jig? Has it sold you on this upcoming release? Let us know in the comments.

Well, that was just wonderful, lol.
I can't watch the video, in both mobile & desktop mode. 😟
It just black screen with no play button.
Nintendo music, but not on the Nintendo Music App.
I do hope they'll add it there too.
Looks excellent, hope it will be and brings the series into the spotlight a little more.
I love how much this game is focusing on their sibling friendship, it’s so precious.
Lovely little video. The more I see, the better it gets.
Just a funny little sea shanty. Looking forward to really digging into this one.
This game.. game of the Century. Cant wait for this gem.
I started playing the gameboy advance one on the NSO +.
And seeing many special attacks and customization is a big win.
This could be a smash character on its own. Seeing Mario and Luigi like this (brothership) has something really unique. In stead of ice climbers, we would get the Mario Bros as a couple.
I’d like to hear the German version because it’s a touch more Austrian folk music than sea shanty. Im picturing the Lederhosen..
Now I am sad that the game wasn't called Mario and Luigi: Yo-ho Bro-ho!
It's a lot better than their Super Mario Christmas commercial they put out a couple weeks ago... way too early for the holidays.
If you haven't heard it, it's a parody of the song "Jingle Bells," and I honestly think it may be worse than ANY of their Wii U commercials. I don't know if I've ever cringed this hard. It's so bad, y'all.

I know it's supposed to be for kids, but I asked my six-year-old nephew what he thought, and he agreed it was cringe. 🤣
Yep, watched it last night, what a great, funny little video!
This is a lot better than Here We Go, Mario, but not as good as Every Day is a Mario Day. Can’t wait for this game!
"Oh, what will we do with a drunken sai-"
Wait, not that one?
🎵 "...and Lu-i-geEEeeze!!" 🎵 That was spectacular.
@Tyranexx "there once was a ship that was put to se-
not that one either?
@beltmenot Nope! But I would love if the game lets the player cycle between sea shanties like in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag while traveling! (I doubt it'll happen, but one can dream lol)
Shame this song is just for advertising and not an actual in-game theme song.
@Anti-Matter Same here, been like this for a while now
I don't like it, it's too cringe and sounds like an edutainment song.
As Ice-Dilla-P-60-Tha-Kiłła-$tałłion puts it:
“Yo-ho’s before Bro-ho’s, a plumber’s life for me, yarrrrrrrr!”
@The-Chosen-one Mario & Luigi as a Smash character is an excellent idea and now I'm upset I hadn't thought about it before.
@Jiggies
Yeah it gave me me a happy feeling, that their strength is in (Brothership). Would be the perfect character(s) for smash.
I am upset that i didnt find out earlier about this gem.
Just started the gameboy advance one. Game is so brilliantly done, pff its been a while since i have been this hyped about a switch game (aside from Zelda)
Judging from this funny trailer, it doesn't look like the islands immediately connect to form one big island. In fact they just get attached with a string of light, wich is a little bit dissapointing. I hoped they would connect like in the game "Islets".
