The newest ‘Ask the Developer Vol. 15’ is out now. Nintendo is sharing the never-before-known details for ‘Mario & Luigi: Brothership—Chapter 2’. From new gameplay and behind-the-scenes revelations to everything you need to know before the next chapter in the epic journey of Mario and Luigi, here it goes.
In the long-awaited Ask the Developer Vol. 15, Nintendo unveils some great new information regarding the new chapter of Mario & Luigi’s legendary brotherly collaboration in “Mario & Luigi: Brothership—Chapter 2.”. Fans are eagerly awaiting the colorful, humorous, and action-packed world of the iconic brothers following the success of the first chapter.
The development team had unique behind-the-scenes insights into how key features of the game will make the next adventure a thrilling experience. As lead designer Yokoi Shigeru says, Chapter 2 boasts innovative gameplay mechanics with a brand-new cooperative mechanic for playing Mario and Luigi together in perfect sync more fluidly than ever before. This dynamic feature will challenge players to think strategically as they use both brothers’ unique abilities in ways that feel fresh yet familiar.
“Brothership” shall not forget its traditional characteristic humor and charm. There will be more prominent instances of Luigi in the chapters. “Luigi is always the underdog, so it was about time for Luigi to shine in all sorts of ways, story- and gameplay-wise,” explained Shigeru while they were holding the live Q&A.
The story itself will flesh out the brothers’ travels and experiences in new lands through varied settings and some good plot twists. While the touching fraternal bond between Mario and Luigi still at the heart of the storyline, Chapter 2 introduces an even darker tone as the brothers, now facing more arduous battles against enemies familiar for years.
Much more exciting for its fans since the developers are doing work closer on a great memorable soundtrack with both of the composers—Koji Kondo and Ryo Nagamatsu—to achieve such a changing tone needed within this game.
We look forward to any other update that may possibly come as Mario & Luigi: Brothership—Chapter 2 is set to make its appearance later this year, in a new but promising chapter of the golden franchise legacy.
