Review: Explore the Currents in Mario & Luigi: Brothership

We bring this up because Mario & Luigi: Brothership also really benefits from meeting it in its intended place: as a work for children.

But hey, islands are generally short enough to get through without the passage of an hour. It doesn’t help that Mario & Luigi: Brothership has to follow the re-release of the best attempt at a Mario RPG, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

We spent our first few hours with Mario & Luigi: Brothership figuring this was just another Nintendo hand-hold, an overly tutorialized early game that would open up and relax a bit over time.
