The Mario & Luigi franchise has been a fan favorite since its first game in 2003. And now more than 20 years later, the Mario & Luigi role-playing game series comes to a big TV with the Nintendo Switch, which is the first time fans can play one of these games on a home console. However, you can still play it on-the-go since the Switch is also a portable handheld device.

Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood takes place on the high seas in the world of Concordia, as the two brothers travel from island to island on their trusty ship, Shipshape. Mario and Luigi must connect the broken pieces of Concordia’s islands back together again in a series of platforming, strategy and turn-based role-playing action.

In our playthrough, we found the game to be challenging yet fun as you start to discover Concordia through its islands and creatures. The mechanics of the game can be tough to pick up at first, but if you’re familiar with the role-playing genre, then it should be easier. However, if this is your first time playing a Mario & Luigi game, then there could be a slight learning curve for strategy and precision gameplay; there’s no button-mashing with this game.

As for the game’s music, video-game fans will be happy to see Hideki Sakamoto as Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood’s composer. Sakamoto has created some of the most iconic and memorable themes from games such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Shinobido: Way of the Ninja, the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games and others.

Retailing for $59.99 and available for purchase at Target, Walmart and Amazon, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is out now. In the meantime, watch the overview trailer for the game, below:
