The turn-based RPG will launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch later this year, on November 7.
Fans of Mario RPGs have been treated to an unexpected string of new releases in the final leg of the Switch’s lifecycle, with remakes of Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door having been followed by the recent surprise announcement of Mario and Luigi: Brothership. Following that reveal, more tidbits on the game have also emerged.
For instance, the official listing for Mario and Luigi: Brothership on the Japanese Nintendo Switch eShop has revealed that the game will require 10 GB of free storage on your Switch. That’s average by Switch standards (and miniscule by modern AAA standards on any other platform), though it is the largest size for a Mario RPG on the Switch. Super Mario RPG’s size, for instance, is 6.5 GB, while Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door requires 5.1 GB. Then again, unlike those two, the upcoming Mario and Luigi isn’t a remake.
Mario and Luigi: Brothership launches for the Nintendo Switch on November 7. Nintendo hasn’t yet revealed which studio is leading development, but the company has confirmed that “some of the original developers” who worked on prior Mario and Luigi instalments are working on the game.
