As the November 7 launch of Mario & Luigi: Brothership for Nintendo Switch approaches, a new trailer has been released, offering deeper insight into the game’s world, mechanics, and the quirks of Luigi’s inventive problem-solving.
In Brothership, the world of Concordia has been mysteriously fractured into scattered islands, and it’s up to Mario and Luigi to reunite them. Players will start their journey on Shipshape Island, a combination of ship and island, using its cannon to explore various locales from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. The trailer also teases new allies like Connie and Snoutlet, as well as appearances from iconic characters like Princess Peach and Bowser.
The game’s core mechanics revolve around the brothers’ teamwork. Players can use Bros. Moves to overcome environmental challenges, such as combining Mario and Luigi into a ball or using fire and ice to manipulate obstacles. In battle, dynamic turn-based combat requires precise timing for attacks, dodges, and counterattacks, with special Bros. Attacks like Zapperator delivering devastating combos.
New to the series are Battle Plugs, items that offer strategic advantages by adding unique effects, such as shockwaves that hit multiple enemies or guaranteed critical hits against flying foes. Players can experiment with these combinations to adapt to different combat scenarios.
The trailer also highlights Luigi Logic, a feature that taps into Luigi’s eccentric thinking. His unconventional but often brilliant ideas will help solve puzzles, gather items, and unleash powerful attacks during boss battles. Get ready for an all-new RPG adventure when Mario & Luigi: Brothership launches on November 7!
