Topic: Mario & Luigi: Brothership

@N00BiSH Hopefully! Recently we’ve been just been getting these shorter trailers. We’ll get the overview trailer this month, I am guessing it’ll be after Mario Party.

Anyways, Kamek’s broomstick is seemingly there at the end of the trailer with Bowser and Bowser Jr, and Toad can be seen near the beginning on the right.

The overview trailer is definitely coming no later than the middle of the month. I like what I see so far, but oddly, I want to hear more music. I hope Yoko Shiomura is still composing for Mario & Luigi. Don't know why I have to bring that up when she always has, but with the change in development team, we just can't know for sure right now.

I've kvetched about the art direction a few times now and as much as I'd like to hold my tongue a little longer, I have to say - I'm not a big on how the eyes look, with the gradient pupils and all. I'd prefer it if they were solid black.

Brothership's art direction is not that bad imo. But...I still feel there's...something missing from it. Compared to the older entries before Brothership.

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot I agree! It isn't bad at all! I think they did a decent job in recreating Masanori Sato's style in 3D but to me it still feels like they've skipped a few steps and lost a few of the illustrative qualities his M&L stuff always had. But I can't really be sure about that until it's confirmed that he was involved with Brothership's development in some capacity.

I think my issue is primarily the lighting.

The promotion of this game is weird. For example we still don't know what's the premise of the game, only that you are travelling from island to island on a half ship/half island transportation device. But Nintendo being Nintendo it probably involves yet another festival (splishy splashy festival or something like that) lol!
