Mario and Luigi: Brothership GameStop Canada Pre-Order Bonus
Nintendo recently released two new videos which highlighted some of Mario and Luigi: Brothership's combat mechanics that players will use when Mario and Luigi get together for battle. Some of the special moves incorporate a Bros. Attack called the "Thunder Dynamo," which sees the brothers pushing a see-saw object in a bid to generate electricity to form an angry storm cloud that wipes out enemies. Another move is called the Koopa Shell, where Mario and Luigi kick a shell like a soccer ball and then give the shell one big kick to knock down a threatening foe.
After the closure of Mario & Luigi developer AlphaDream, fans weren't too sure what to expect from the series and if any further games would be developed. Thankfully, Mario and Luigi: Brothership looks like its bringing back the classic RPG franchise with its iconic silliness and solid turn-based battles.
