Mario & Luigi: Brothership is set to release exclusively for the Nintendo Switch on November 7. The first Mario & Luigi role-playing game in nearly a decade, it finds the bros exploring islands on a vessel that’s part ship and part island itself. It sports an all-new cel-shaded art style and is available for preorder now. Read on for full details about what to expect.Preorder Mario & Luigi: BrothershipMario & Luigi: Brothership1There aren’t any special editions of the game, so this is the one to get. And if you’re waiting for it to appear on Amazon, I have some bad news for you: Nintendo Switch games haven’t been going up for preorder on Amazon for a while. They usually appear on the site the day they release. I don’t know what’s up with that, but that’s what it is.What is Mario & Luigi: Brothership?Historically, the Mario & Luigi games have been available exclusively on Nintendo’s handheld platforms, starting with Superstar Saga on Game Boy Advance. But now that the Switch covers both handheld and TV play, it makes sense that the newest entry would come there — there’s nowhere else for it to go, after all.Brothership, announced at the June Nintendo Direct, is a turn-based RPG that finds Mario and Luigi sailing the seas in a world called Concordia. You’ll explore new lands with a variety of environments, like a rainforest and a populated city. But like its predecessors, the turn-based combat requires lots of real-time inputs. You can also have the dynamic duo team up during combat to pull off Bros. Attacks, and to overcome obstacles in the over-world using Bros Moves. It looks like a lot of fun.Other Preorder GuidesChris Reed is a commerce editor and deals expert for IGN. He also runs IGN’s board game and LEGO coverage. You can follow him on Threads.
