Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions FR 3DS

Cubed3 Rating Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga has not lost any of its charm over the past decade and a half, plus looks better than ever now on Nintendo 3DS thanks to its new lick of paint. Humorous, addictive, inventive - everything that made the Game Boy Advance original so addictive returns, with some handy touch screen shortcuts added into the mix, and a pleasant side game in the form of the Bowser's Minions RTS quest. With this, Paper Jam Bros. and Bowser's Inside Story , the Mario & Luigi series shows it is still going from strength to strength thanks to the genius team at AlphaDream.

The original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was a fantastic adventure, and this remake has not harmed it. You’ll find the same fun and challenging gameplay accompanied by the same witty dialogue that first appeared on the Game Boy Advance in 2003, but now everything looks and sounds much better. The new content, Bowser’s Minions, is not good enough to warrant a purchase by itself; however, since it’s completely optional, it’s also not a reason to stay away. — Kyle Movius

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions is one of the best in the Mario RPG series, and this 3DS remake only makes it better. The story, characters, and world are all a blast to explore, and longtime Mario fans will love every second. The combat is great, if a little simplistic, but the script is the real star. The new Minion Quest mode is a fine addition, but not worth much more than a passing glance. Still, if you have enjoyed any Mario RPG before, this is a definite buy, and if you haven’t then it’s a great place to start.
