Mario & Luigi: Brothership sees the two bros sail the seas in hopes of saving the world from certain peril, in a journey that lasts dozens of hours. Along the way, Mario and Luigi have to talk to tons of new characters and old ones, in an animation style updated for the Nintendo Switch.
The latest edition of Nintendo’s recurring “Ask the Developer” series dives into Brothership, giving loads of details on why Nintendo partnered with Acquire, and how the studio toyed with multiple visual styles — including some concept art for an “edgier” version of Mario. It’s a fascinating in-depth look into the development of the game, something we don’t always see for Nintendo titles.
