Depending on the price (and my bank account lol), I might do a giveaway for this. Would anyone be interested?

I'm sure this will be a low cost, 3ds send-off style game for the fans. But it's mindboggling to me that this isn't on Switch or at the very least not going to be multiplatform. It would be such a great way to introduce the M/L series to a new lapsed nintendo fan base and sell them on the inevitable ground up M&L for Switch.

They will do a direct, which will have those kind of announcements.

Don't know, there's chance that this is an e3 treehouse announcement instead of e3 digital event.

Maybe, but I see this game releasing in August or September.
This is my take as well. I would be thrilled to see additional main game content though. Just seeing the game remade in the 3DS M&L engine will be remarkable regardless though.
This is what I am thinking. A separate story that takes place during the events of Superstar Saga, with Bowser's minions
trying to find him and return the King of Koopas back to his regular self.

The Japanese name is Mario & Luigi RPG1 DX
Also the game seems to be 550MB

That's quite a size bump from a 16MB(?) cart

AlphaDream needs to milk their M&L 3DS engine, then they'll have the budget for M&L RPG 5!!!!! on Switch.
Yes. That would be... the greatest ever.

I wouldn't doubt that most of the 3DS games they are releasing and are rumored to be released have been in development for a while. Most of the games are probably using old engines and assets from past titles or games like Superstar Saga remake using Alpha Dream's M&L 3DS engine, Hey! Pikmin using Yoshi's New Island's engine (same developer), Fire Emblem Echoes using the FE 3DS engine, and the new Kirby game out near holidays is probably using the Triple Deluxe/Robobot engine.
Games like Ever Oasis have been in development for a bit too and I bet it would take a bit of effort to make some of these 3DS games run on the Switch and look, at least, decent. The jump from 3DS to Switch is huge.
This doesn't sound like Nintendo's problem...

I thought that was the whole idea behind Paper Jam, but I guess you can milk some more with a product that might actually be good.
Paper Jam was completely different from what it could've been due to just being an exercise of convenience.
With Brain Training, Pikmin, Fire Emblem, Mario & Luigi, and Miitopia I am more interested in 3DS games than the Switch lineup (where I'm mainly looking forward to Mario Odyssey now that MK8DX is out). Even the recent free Kirby game was more than decent.
Dude relax, the switch already has a bunch of major releases coming out this year and it's not e3 yet. It's not like any of these 3ds announcements have been anywhere near on the level of a new 3d Mario or Pokemon.
I'm hoping they don't change the game's combat too much. The quick and easy Bros moves in SSS are way more tolerable than the annoyingly long special attacks of the more recent games, which make boss fights an absolute chore. Providing that this is a remake in the DT/PJ style like I'm expecting it to be.
I love, love, love, love, LOVED the original title. Fawful is still one of my favourite Mario villains to this day. Only problems I had were the controls once the DS came out and could "play" GBA games,
(and that's the EXACT SAME CONTROL STYLE adopted by just about every Mario DS game to my great annoyance, and my hands cramping like crazy, which is why I stopped playing after the first area max of PIT) and the rather obscene spike in difficulty pre-the final boss area. So long as there was maybe more leveling up opportunities earlier in the game (because those got really few and far between the later in the game you got), NOT screwing up those controls, allowing more buttons to be pressed in battles, and some of the niggling annoyances go away, and you have a game that literally cannot be improved upon any further.
though not very well

SuperStar Saga might be the closest to perfect out of any game I've played ever. Just phenomenal all around.

Sorry but it's going to be on 3DS.
Man, Switch fanboys are truly something in 3DS related threads.

Oh my God, that island music and that weird frozen area with that uncomfortable music. It's gonna be great.
I'm legitimately so hyped.

Superstar Saga has so many genuinely great and unique moments. Mario & Luigi when they're at their best (as in SSS, BiS) is the pinnacle of the Mario RPG experience as far as I'm concerned. I love Paper Mario too, but the snappier gameplay of M&L appeals to me more. Really stoked for this one provided they don't tack on the superfluous stuff that has plagued recent entries.

It's peak JRPG in general. The pacing, combat, creativity, and script just came so well together in this game.
What about the Cola Factory? This game is so fucking awesome.

You mean, they confirmed that the leaked Ever Oasis icon was real. Which practically confirms that the SSDX icon is too, but not quite.

I just bought a Switch too and yes itd be nice to have more games, but give it time. Zelda and MK8 are two heavy hitters right out the door. Shit takes time, yo. It'd be nice if they ported some 3DS/Wii U games or something but we'll see.

Really hoping for a physical release.
I will even hold out if physical is coming later on but digital is available sooner.

I hope it becomes a surprise E3 Direct thing, like Rhythm Heaven Megamix was last year. Man, was that awesome!
Lol the first civil console war.
But seriously dude this isnt about fanboys, if you own both system you obviously prefer on the better resolution and graphics in general that can also be played on TV.
I like how its gotten to the point where Switch owners are the bad guys for expecting some cross platform releases. Fire Emblem Warriors shouldnt be the only one.
Good call! I think there's a good chance of that happening.

That's fine. I would love it to be on Switch if possible as well. However the incessant whinging whenever 3DS gets any new games is pretty grating and adds nothing to the discussion. Especially when these are games that likely wouldn't exist anyway if Nintendo wasn't planning to keep supporting 3DS for a little while longer.
Well i can see their point since Switch is a hybrid they expected a unified libary with new game releases.
Buy why would anyone expect this to happen immediately? Every old console sees some support even after the successors are out.

People who have the successor system to a system are now fanboys but only of that system? What?

This. So much this.
What really bothers me is when people complain about games that are clearly low investment titles built on already existing engines for the 3DS (like this probably will be). It's pretty clear that Nintendo is looking to spend minimal effort getting the game to run and the game probably wouldn't exist if not for the 3DS, but apparently no Switch version is an insult. It's not like the 3DS is keeping the game from making it on the Switch.
