Mario & Luigi: Brothership Developer Mystery


Original

Mario & Luigi

developer

AlphaDream

went under in 2019, yet Nintendo remains tight-lipped about who is creating the newly announced

Brothership

.


Eager fans were thrilled when

Nintendo

revealed

Mario & Luigi: Brothership

, marking the first fresh installment in nearly nine years. But what’s the mystery? AlphaDream, the brains behind the previous games, folded in 2019.


Game File

reached out to Nintendo for answers but got the typical corporate hush-hush response: "Some of the original developers who worked on the franchise are involved in the development of Mario & Luigi: Brothership. For more information, please stay tuned to the game credits at release."


This isn't new for Nintendo.

VGC

notes that Nintendo often avoids revealing the specific teams behind their games, preferring vague statements like the one given. Even series director Yoshihiko Maekawa recently supervised a Super Mario RPG remake, yet Nintendo remains mum on concrete details.

McScratchey's Thoughts

Who's Developing the New Mario & Luigi Game?


If you're like me, you were probably thrilled when Nintendo announced

Mario & Luigi: Brothership

. After nearly nine years without a fresh entry in this beloved RPG series, fans are finally getting what they craved. But here's the kicker:

AlphaDream

, the original developer, disbanded in 2019. So the big question is—who the hell is making this game?


AlphaDream's closure left a gnawing doubt in the hearts of many fans. Nintendo's cryptic response—simply that some original developers are involved—doesn't add much clarity. It's like being told a surprise party is happening but not who the guests are. 🙃


Nintendo has been notorious for playing it close to the chest lately. Their

"wait for the credits"

approach isn't doing anyone any favors. But why? Is it to avoid scrutiny, maintain a competitive edge, or simply a way to manage developer pressure? It remains as ambiguous as Mario's actual plumbing credentials.


For die-hard fans, the developer's identity is more than a name—it’s a testament to the quality and soul of the game. The heart and humor of the

Mario & Luigi

series are what make it magical. Knowing who’s at the helm would provide peace of mind that the quirky spirit of the series will live on.


Many former AlphaDream talent, like Yoshihiko Maekawa, have already worked with Nintendo. Maekawa supervised the remake of Super Mario RPG, so it’s not inconceivable that some familiar hands are dealing the cards in

Brothership

. Yet, Nintendo’s evasiveness keeps us guessing.


While we stew in our curiosity, here's hoping the final product resonates with longtime aficionados and newcomers alike. 👾 Though it’s a bit frustrating, the veil of mystery does add a layer of intrigue. Fingers crossed that Nintendo delivers a game worthy of its lineage.
