From what we’ve seen, Mario and Luigi Brothership seems to have fun new movement and platforming ideas, unique combat mechanics, and the signature cartoonish humor the Mario and Luigi series is known for.

This is promising, given this is the first Mario and Luigi game not developed by AlphaDream, a developer with close ties to Nintendo that filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Nintendo hasn’t confirmed who the developer behind Mario and Luigi Brothership is, but some of the original series team is likely on board.

What platforms will Mario and Luigi Brothership be available on?

Mario and Luigi Brothership is a Nintendo Switch exclusive. This isn’t a surprise, as this is usually the case for Nintendo titles. However, whether this game will be available on the Switch’s successor remains to be seen.
