Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario and Luigi: Dream Team Bros. Review Thread

Seems like the first review is out:

It's easy for a Dream Team Bros. review to become a list of neat stuff. It's a game that introduces a new idea, mechanic or boss fight every half an hour for around 35 hours- and that's without investing in side content: excavating stat-boosting beans, waking scattered Pi'illos, reassembling CCTV footage (don't ask), an extra tough boss rush mode... It's absolutely rammed and gets better the less you know, so we'll draw a line under it there.
So it is that 3DS's incredible first-party run continues. In the year that has given us the definitive Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing it only makes sense that AlphaDream should step up and deliver the best Mario and Luigi game yet.

VERDICT
+ A near constant drip-feed of barmy invention
+ Smart twist on traditional turn-based brawls
+ One of 3DS's funniest games

A game set in Luigi's wildest dreams turns out to be the game of our wildest dreams. What are the odds of that, eh? This is tirelessly inventive fun.

Time to buy a 3DS.

Read that review. It really was nothing but praise.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Oh boy, a great RPG. The 3DS is direly in need of those this year.

*Looks back at Fire Emblem: Awakening, Etrian Odyssey 4, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, and Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers*

*Looks forwards towards Pokemon X/Y, Shin Megami Tensei 4, and Rune Factory 4*

What would we have done without the bros?



Love and tolerate.

How come it's releasing in NA so much later than the others? D:

The German Gamepro gave it 75%, because it's a good game on Nintendo hardware.

As for this "first" review, the "definitive Fire Emblem", my ass.

Any highlights from the review?

They complained about the story lacking depth. You'll have to ask crissindahouse if you want to know more. I don't subscribe to Gamepro nor do I buy it.

Fair enough. A complaint from ONM was that a good number of the "powers" were reused from previous titles, as with a lot of the attacks. But there you are.

Interestingly, there was no mention of the story in the ONM review. So long as its funny, I really don't care about the depth.
