Who would have thought that the RPG subgenre would end up experiencing such a renaissance in the franchise? Mario ? With the release of the remake of Super Mario RPGyou remaster them Paper Mario: The Millennium Door and now a new opus of the saga Mario & Luigisuffice to say that fans of turn-based combat have been served. However, no one envisaged a return of the two plumber brothers in a new adventure of the genre. After the AlphaDream studio closed in 2019, the future of these games seemed doomed. The surprise was therefore all the more striking when Nintendo announced The fraternal epic during his Live last June.
Now that the release of the title – scheduled for next November 7 – is fast approaching, the Kyoto firm has just published a large trailer lasting more than five minutes. We discover the region of this new adventure, Connexia, which will offer the opportunity to explore numerous drifting islands with different resplendent biomes. The visuals are even more surprising than the first announcement. The development teams have perfectly succeeded in transcribing the characteristic artistic direction of the old 2D opuses into a beautiful new 3D universe. But as beautiful images are not enough to promise a good game, here is everything you need to know about the storyline and gameplay of this upcoming gem.

A return of the best mechanics in a unique world
Mario and Luigi will have to master their brotherly powers if they wish to save Connexia and reunite all its islands. Brother Attacks are the very heart of the franchise’s gameplay, and they have never been as impressive as in this Switch opus. The independent control of the two characters with the A and B buttons makes all the charm of the combat system, but also of the puzzles during exploration. In The fraternal epic, new Duo Actions will allow you to throw balls of fire and ice, transform into a ball or even a UFO to overcome obstacles and progress in the adventure.
Like in every game Mario & Luigiplayers will be able to discover new characters alongside their favorite heroes. Here is the synopsis of the scenario that Nintendo shared:
“A mysterious power has divided the world of Connexia into a multitude of small islands, and it is up to Mario and Luigi to restore unity. The two brothers will embark on the adventure aboard the Navisthme, an island ship whose cannon can propel itself to reach islands as numerous as they are varied. Mario and Luigi’s explorations and quests will take them through many different environments, from rainforests to bustling cities. Throughout their adventure, the two brothers will meet precious new friends such as Amperia and Couchomb (who is absolutely not a pig), but also well-known characters from the Mushroom Kingdom like Peach and Bowser.”
Once again, the adventure promises to be very busy and this title seems to deserve its epic title. See you in four weeks to find out if this new opus really lives up to our expectations. The last original opus of the franchise, Mario & Luigi : Paper Jam Bros – released on 3DS in 2015 – is far from being unanimously accepted, therefore leaving significant pressure weighing on the Switch episode.
