Yoshi!

I really hope that they have some good postgame content. That's the one thing I hated about SuperStar Saga, you beat the game: and that's it.

I wonder If Partners in time and Bowser's Inside Story had some good postgame content.

 

[Berordn]

Woah, Yoshi is there. I don't think Yoshi's ever been in a Mario & Luigi game, IIRC.

Yoshi had the Beanbean Theatre quest in the first game and that was mandatory (though relatively short). The second "world" of PiT was Yoshi's Island, and the major antagonist there was a giant alien Yoshi.

I wonder If Partners in time and Bowser's Inside Story had some good postgame content.

They didn't.

 

[BGBW]

But we get the worst title in Europe.

Didn't even know we had a different title. Wonder why they added Bros to the end.

Also we got the lost sparkles back.

 

[Boss Doggie]

So do we know for sure they're not fucking with the game play "cuz reasons", like with paper mario?

It has exp growth as shown in the demos. Hell, it looked more like Superstar Saga than Bowser's Inside Story.

Why is there one Luigi making eye contacts with Mario? It's weirding me out.

Reminds me of weegee for some odd reason

 

[Magicpaint]

The JP covers are gorgeous. The US/EU covers are just messy.

Agreed; much prefer the subtle and clean style of the JP covers.

so does sticker star, until you actually play it.

No. We knew before release that SS was removing experience and changing the battle system dramatically. This is not the case with this new M&L game. It's an RPG.

How so?

Well they both had the bean research quest and Bowser's Inside Story had the Collosseum and the Challenge Node with the Cholesteroad minigames

 

[FlynnCL]

Do we know if Shimomura did the soundtrack?

I'd love to know this, too.

Also, I'm so looking forward to play this in July. I've just decided to pre-order it.

 

[Boss Doggie]

How so?

The map actions (with the brother twister and such) reminded me more of SS than BiS and PiT.

btw here's the demo

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

no snot bubble?

new angry eyes Kirby?

Snot bubble is a very common (funny) way to show if someone is sleeping in Japan. It's not really that common in the west though. We usually put "zzz" next to a person sleeping. Nintendo adapts.

 

[Penguin]

This looks like it will be a cool special

 

[feli]

It's beautiful *-*

this might be the best thing I've ever seen

Yeah I've seen the demo (<3 it) but I feel the structure is more like BIS with the dream/side scrolling sequences an equivalent of being inside Bowser. Though with the lack of playable Bowser it probably means more time will be spent in the SS style environments/overworld than in BIS. I don't actually mind that since my least favourite parts in BIS were inside Bowser.

 

[Joqu]

That's some lovely box art. Can't wait!

Dream Team Bros. still is a stupid name though. :L

 

[Boss Doggie]

...where is Bowser?

 

[Exterminieren]

...where is Bowser?

I'd put the chances of him not appearing as one of Luigi's nightmares as somewhere around nil.

 

[Drago]

How odd.

I was at Gamestop and I was looking at the 3DS section and noticed this:

Sorry for my finger and the massive phone pic.

Notice the slight differences in this box - no bat (but someone else there instead), a black M on Mario's hat (but a green L on Luigi), black outlines, and Luigi's head and the zzz's are drawn differently. Is this the US box?

Must have been a rough draft. That character appears in the character art in the other thread- he's Dr. Snoozemore, the guy who owns Pi'illo Island.

The US box is the same as all the other boxes.

 

[TreIII]

I'd put the chances of him not appearing as one of Luigi's nightmares as somewhere around nil.

It'd also be surprising if the Big Bad didn't find a way to fuse with Bowser in order to serve as the game's final boss. At this point, the main character I wonder about is Midbus. I'd like to see him again.

Anyway, I suppose my only qualm so far was that I was really hoping that the next game would either a) focus on Bowser again or b) be a Bowser-only title.

After all the build-up AlphaDream has given Bowser these last few games up to the third one, I was almost certain the big guy was due to get his own game at long last.

 

[Alpha_eX]

The US box doesn't have the villain on the front, instead it has the dream professor guy. See top left.

That sounds fine then. It's weird that these games have the best combat systems out of any RPG but there's not that much to do with it outside of the main game.
