Posted on October 5, 2017 by John Scalzo

The Nintendo Switch continues its roll this week as indie developers have added another massive batch of games to the consolemaker’s eShop.

Leading the way are Axiom Verge, the retro-styled MetroidVania from Thomas Happ, and Stardew Valley, the whimsical farming sim from ConcernedApe. Both games will be joined by Tumblestone, a “multiplayer action puzzler” from the Quantum Astrophysicists Guild.

Over on the 3DS, Nintendo will bring Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions, a remake of the beloved Game Boy Advance RPG, and Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, the latest puzzle adventure from Level-5, to their handheld beginning tomorrow.

We’re racing into another big week of new releases, including the Standard Edition of Turn 10’s Forza Motorsport 7 on the Xbox One.

If racing simulators don’t rev your engine, you might want to look into Capcom’s re-release of Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen (PS4, Xbox One) or a turn-based RPG based on Joe Madureira’s Battle Chasers: Nightwar (PC, PS4, Xbox One).

The 3DS will receive a big batch of new games this week as well, including NIS America’s Magic/Monopoly hybrid Culdcept Revolt, Level-5’s adventurous Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, and Nintendo’s re-release of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions. And if you’re in the market for a new handheld, Nintendo will launch a “White + Orange” New 2DS XL this week.

Finally this week, Telltale will launch a Season Pass Disc for Batman: The Enemy Within on the PS4 and Xbox One.

Nintendo will bring a remake of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga to the 3DS this Fall

Posted on June 14, 2017 by John Scalzo

Mario is making the rounds at this year’s E3 Expo. In addition to starring appearances in Super Mario Odyssey and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, the mustachioed plumber will also return to the 3DS in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions. The RPG was originally released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, and this remake will include a new Easy Mode, as well as a side story featuring Captain Goomba and his Goomba Squad:

During the show, Nintendo announced that an updated version of the first game in the Mario & Luigi series was in development for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions contains all the fun gameplay and dialogue of the Game Boy Advance original, as well as an optional Easy Mode for younger or more inexperienced players.

The game also includes a side story called Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, which tells the story of the game from the perspective of Bowser’s minions, led by Captain Goomba.

Nintendo will release Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions for the 3DS on October 6 alongside a pair of new Amiibo figures for Goomba and Koopa Troopa. Both figures, and the existing Boo figure, will be compatible with the remake.
