Nintendo aired its promised June Nintendo Direct overnight, giving us around 40 minutes of new announcements, updates, trailers and releases for the Switch.
Immediately out of the gate, Nintendo dropped a pretty big surprise with a new Mario & Luigi title for the Switch, titled Mario & Luigi: Brothership and launching on November 7th.
The game comes complete with a great-looking cel shaded visual style, and looks to feature the series’ trademark humour, action and puzzle-solving. It’ll see the mustachioed brothers embark on a new adventure aboard the part-ship-part-island Shipshape Island, travelling the world of Concordia and saving the day as always.
Take a look at the debut trailer below:
Here’s what Nintendo had to say about the game:
All aboard for an island-hopping RPG adventure starring Mario and Luigi! The brothers are back for a brand-new entry in the Mario & Luigi series, where they set sail on Shipshape Island (part ship, part island) to navigate the vast world of Concordia. Play as the mustachioed pair and explore islands that range from tropical rainforests to bustling cities. Along the way, meet new friends to help you on your journey and encounter familiar faces from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser. Keep the “Brothership” afloat and rely on Mario and Luigi’s bond to save the day by employing Bros. Moves to get past obstacles and powerful Bros. Attacks to claim victory in a dynamic twist on turn-based combat. Mario & Luigi: Brothership launches on Nintendo Switch Nov. 7.
