Mario & Luigi 3DS – Luigi is a God (In His Dreams)

In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team for 3DS, Luigi is the better brother. That’s because half the game takes place in Luigi’s amusingly-warped mind. Luigi’s inferiority complex has emerged as a theme in Mario games, and even when Luigi’s the star, as in Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, the lesser brother plays the cowering, unlikely hero. It makes sense, then, that in his dreams, Luigi is not only his brother’s equal in jumping and tossing fireballs, he’s pretty much a mustachioed god.

The Mario & Luigi: Dream Team demo I played placed me in control of Mario & Luigi, and, like in previous games, controlling two Mario bros. with two separate jump buttons can provide for some sticky platforming. The twist in this entry is that at designated napping areas, Luigi can snap into a comatose state at the drop of his green hat.

Super NVC Podcast: 3DS Summer Fun

So last week was a pretty good week for Nintendo 3DS owners. Hot on the heels of the excellent Fire Emblem: Awakening, Nintendo unleashed yet another Nintendo Direct, this time revealing three new 3DS games coming this Summer – Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Mario Golf: World Tour and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D.

We were pretty excited by all that news, plus plenty of other (good and bad) things have been happening in the world of Nintendo. We figured it would be time to chat about everything that’s been happening over the past week, so Rich, Sam and Brian gathered to argue and banter about Mario Luigi happenings.

This podcast has two distinct halves – a Nintendo Direct discussion in the first half, reader Q&A in the second half. Regardless, you can listen or watch it in its entirety below.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Announced

During today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, the Big N announced a new entry in the Mario & Luigi series of RPG games. Called Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, this title focuses on the brother in green himself – in fact, it all takes place in Weegee’s dreams.

Little is known as of now, other than that players will have to interact with a sleeping Weegee to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Oh, and Mario’s also there.

Mario & Luigi: Dream team is set to arrive in North America this summer.
