Mario and Luigi: Brothership has a steelbook waiting for fans who pre-order from French outlet Micromania. Gamers are looking forward to the first new entry in the Mario and Luigi series since 2018, and Mario and Luigi: Brothership looks primed to be a full-fledged offering, iterating on what made the series so popular in the first place. As more information for the series releases, news about deals surrounding the games comes out, too.
Nintendo just released a new trailer for Mario and Luigi: Brothership, showing some of what Concordia, the game's new destination, has to offer. Although there is plenty more to learn about the depth of the game's combat system, story, and all the features that will be present in Mario and Luigi: Brothership, the trailer offers a window into the evolution of the series' art style and the biomes players will come across.
Why Mario & Luigi: Brothership May Sail Smoothly Despite Its Vast Competition
Mario & Luigi is making its grand comeback this year with Brothership, and even despite market saturation, it should do just fine for Nintendo.
If gamers pre-order Mario and Luigi: Brothership from Micromania, they will get a bonus steelbook. The item features the titular duo drawn in the Mario and Luigi series' distinctive art style. The official renders of the characters show Mario on the front cover, tipping his cap, and Luigi with an arm forward on the back cover. Players who are especially appreciative of the art of this series may want to get a hold of these steelbooks as soon as possible. However, these items are currently exclusive to the French retailer.
Mario and Luigi Brothership Steelbooks Revealed
Micromania carries an exclusivity deal for the Brothership steelbooks, but it's possible another retailer could pick them up at some point in the future. Amazon also has Mario and Luigi: Brothership listed for pre-order, alongside websites like GameStop, and none of these stores appear to have similar pre-order bonuses yet. Alongside the many upcoming Nintendo releases, the company could be waiting for a chance to show off different exclusive items for other markets.
Mario and Luigi: Brothership provides a great opportunity for Mario fans and Nintendo to get even more mileage out of the Nintendo Switch before the unveiling of its successor, which could be happening soon, according to new Switch 2 rumors. Usually, Nintendo releases themed Switches or Joy-Cons when a flagship franchise gets a new entry, and a set for Brothership would be a creative way to give the title more traction ahead of its release. There are a couple of other offers for Brothership like a stamp pen, that show that more deals may be coming along soon.
