Is Mario & Luigi: Brothership a Reboot? | Theory and Analysis

- Despite AlphaDream going under, Mario & Luigi are back under the helm of a new developer. But that does beg the question: will Brothership be a reboot? Will we see fan favorites like Fawful or Starlow again or will the new development team craft a Mushroom Kingdom of their own? I take a look at the evidence provided by the Nintendo Direct trailer to try and figure it out!

It's definitely a sequel to the series. Otherwise they probably wouldn't add a subtitle.
Definitely
This argument doesn't really work. Simply calling it Mario & Luigi would be too confusing for customers.
@@dannypalin9583 If its a reboot than I failed to see how. It's a game about Mario and Luigi hence the name. Plus its been 4 years since the remake(9 for the last original game) I doubt casuals would really know the series at this point.
The original already had a sub-title though, Superstar Saga
@@PiantapediaYT And since then, every game had one. This is no different.
I think this is the true Mario and Luigi RPG 5, 11 years after Dream Team. Paper Jam was more of a crossover
This is definitely a sequel. Like it or not, Paper Jam is the 5th Mario & Luigi game and Brothership is Mario & Luigi 6! Seems to me that Peach and Bowser will be assisting Mario & Luigi as maybe some kind of special that you earn like in Super Mario RPG. How sick would it be if the Super Mario Bros. got 2 extra teammates later on in the game in the form of Wario and Waluigi? I don't know, though. It feels like it's just going to be the Super Mario Bros. in this game. Just like in SS, BIS (Bowser was separate), and DT. PIT saw the Super Mario Bros. teaming with their baby counterparts and PJ saw them teaming up with Paper Mario. My dream Mario & Luigi game would be the Super Mario Bros. teaming up with Wario and Waluigi! Maybe in a future Mario & Luigi game!
The villains look like the Best fitness friends and their eyes look like antasmas
I feel like its not a reboot because in one part of the trailer there is an area that looks very similar to Mount Pajamaja from Dream Team, so maybe you can somehow explore some reimagined locations from Mario And Luigi's legacy. Plus, in the direct, they called it a new entry and not a reboot.
To me Paper Jam ticks way more of the boxes of a reboot than this. Every other Mario & Luigi game is rich with original characters, every sequel calls back to the events of the previous games with returning characters, and then there's Paper Jam. Which is just... a typical 2010s Mario game. Besides Starlow, nothing about Paper Jam's story and characters are Mario & Luigi in the slightest. While Brothership just in this first trailer OOZES with M&L energy.
To me, Paper Jam was the reboot, stripping the cast of characters back to just what can be found in the NSMB series and going for a painfully played-straight 2D Mario-tier kidnapping plot. The M&L remakes were the original vision for the series gasping for air, before AlphaDream's debt and the lack of any fandom-side excitement for the remakes (which I will never understand) shoving them back under to drown. And then Brothership finally rising from the ashes and reversing ALL of Paper Jam's insulting sanitization.
As far as I'm concerned Brothership is the Mario & Luigi 5 you couldn't put a gun to my head to make me call Paper Jam.
I was thinking honestly this could be a soft reboot. Especially since partners in time they were adding new buttons while this seems only mario and luigi.
There was only Mario and Luigi in dream team so it’s probably just a new entry
@@whu13 I meant how every game adds a new mechanic like how in partner in time x and y button, bowser's inside story was bowser, dream team was the touch screen and level changing and paper jam was adding paper mario. this game seems like it going back to simple but again idk maybe it is just a sequel and we havent seen new mechanics.
I hope these future Mario and Luigi games resemble the first three with the first being a simple but fun experience the second having a dark tone and the third having a insane concept.
7:26 I would not count on it. I seen peach get kidnapped at certain points in the Mario and Luigi spinoff games.
Why didn't you capitalize Peach's name? All names need to be capitalized!
I kinda hope they bring back the Shroobs as an optional boss like with B'sIS.
But that'd be unlikely.
LM2HD was made by Tantalus btw not NLG
The quality of this video is absolutely phenomenal for how little subscribers and viewers you have. I wish you good luck for the future.
Thanks so much!
I was like huh little subscribers when I check I saw you had the amount of subscribers you had I am definitely going to be following your channel and watching your future videos
I don't really see how it'd be, it looks like we're travelling outside the mushroom kingdom so it'd be kinda hard to know if things from past games are canon or not
Ah some of the developer of Alpha dream work in this game
When Rare was bought by Microsoft, all the DK Country/64 characters (created by Rare) went back to Nintendo’s ownership. So after Alpha Dream’s closer, their creations reverted back to Nintendo.
Geno is only owned by Square Enix
Alphadream is dead tho, unlike Square Enix, so it's likely even if Alphadream HAD partial rights, they were scooped up by Nintendo. (Tbh, I don't think Alphadream did.)
This was a great watch. Your narration is clear and precise, your editing style is silky smooth, awesome stuff! You deserve way more viewership and subscribers! ❤❤❤
And, on topic, I wouldn't mind if M&L:BS was a reboot, honestly. A lot of the series main-stays started to get old once we reached Paper Jam (looking at you Starlow) and bringing back that earlier level of experimentation I think is great for the series in my opinion. :)
Thanks so much!
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD isn’t Next Level Games, it’s Tantalus.
Yep! Nintendo have since also said that old AlphaDream staff is working on the game, so I’d say that’s bonus points for ILCA’s chances
The Mario & Luigi series got increasingly muddled towards the end. Remakes sanitized the original games' charm a bit, coinciding with the period that brought us Sticker Star during a shift away from traditional RPGs. Around the same time, we even saw a Mario & Luigi crossover with Paper Mario.
Given the current RPG renaissance at Nintendo, a soft reboot that brings the series back to its roots makes a lot of sense to me.
Why would this be a reboot... i swear yall do anything for views
