Mario & Luigi: Brothership is the first brand new Mario & Luigi game since Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam in 2015. I haven't been this excited for a new game in a long, long time so let's see how good it actually is! I love every Mario & Luigi game, including Superstar Saga, Partners in Time, Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, Paper Jam, Bowser's Minions, and Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Join me as we fight all bosses in Mario & Luigi: Brothership for Nintendo Switch and see the ending of the game. In this episode, we check out the very beginning of the game: Shipshape Island and Rumbla Island!
