Nintendo revealed new information and details about Mario & Luigi: Brothership, the first console title in the RPG series, including some insight into the new islands that the duo will visit in their new adventure and new Bros Attacks they will use. The new details appeared on the Japanese Nintendo website only, and some of the new details shared haven’t been given localized English names yet.
The story of Mario & Luigi: Brothership will take place in the new world of Concordia, which spans a vast ocean. Mario and Luigi come to Concordia from the Mushroom Kindgom and will explore using Shipshape Island as a boat, where the mysterious “Connectal Tree” grows.
Mario is the well-known “superstar” of the Mushroom Kingdom and Luigi is his goofy and resourceful brother. While the duo hangs out at the gardens of Princess Peach’s Castle, they are absorbed into a mysterious vortex that appears in the sky above them. After meeting Connie and Snoutlet, they learn that they have been taking to the vast ocean of Concordia.
Connie is a kind hearted girl who teaches the protagonist duo about Concordia. An incident led her to live aboard Shipshape Island and she tends to the island’s tree. Meanwhile, Snoutlet is a unique character who looks like a piggy bank and an electric outlet, hence the name. Snoutlet serves as a guide to both Mario and Luigi in their adventure.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership features a number of drifting islands to explore in the ocean of Concordia, including Gran Gran Island, the nature-filled Tuis Island, Sabiretta Island, the urban island of Zenialevar, or the ice and fire island of Kandan.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership will release for the Nintendo Switch on November 7, 2024.
