Mario & Luigi Dream Team Release Date

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team on Nintendo 3DS has been given a released date of July 12th in Europe and August 11th in the US.

The announcement was made by Nintendo chief Satoru Iwata in today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast which concentrated on the company’s handheld.

Iwata also shared additional information on the game’s mechanics and story. And surprise, surprise, Princess Peach gets kidnapped from Pillow Island. To save her, Mario will have to enter a dream world – this is done by Luigi going to sleep on magical pillows. By playing with the face of the snoozing Luigi on the console’s lower touchscreen, you’ll be able to affect the dreamworld inhabited by Mario.

But picking up a part-time job in Mario’s adopted country isn’t a simple matter of driving down to Walmart.

From running hotels to sitting around on a cloud and holding a fishing pole, here are some of the Mushroom Kingdom’s oddest jobs.

Getting Luigi’s Mansion Right

Poor Luigi. While Mario routinely sets off to fight Bowser, rescue Princess Peach and save the Mushroom Kingdom, his taller, thinner brother is whisked off to help a crazy old man research haunted mansions. Hardly fair, is it?

Such is the life of an often-forgotten brother, perhaps. Yet that’s exactly what happened to Luigi over a decade ago, as he helped debut Nintendo’s GameCube by strapping on a vacuum and busting some ghosts. But his first solo adventure was flawed, and despite the game being a relatively impressive technical demonstration of the ‘Cube’s capabilities, the first Luigi’s Mansion was a shallow experience that managed to simultaneously be too short while still exceeding the depth of its gameplay.
