Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions FR 3DS

The original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga was a fantastic adventure, and this remake has not harmed it. You’ll find the same fun and challenging gameplay accompanied by the same witty dialogue that first appeared on the Game Boy Advance in 2003, but now everything looks and sounds much better. The new content, Bowser’s Minions, is not good enough to warrant a purchase by itself; however, since it’s completely optional, it’s also not a reason to stay away. — Kyle Movius

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions is one of the best in the Mario RPG series, and this 3DS remake only makes it better. The story, characters, and world are all a blast to explore, and longtime Mario fans will love every second. The combat is great, if a little simplistic, but the script is the real star. The new Minion Quest mode is a fine addition, but not worth much more than a passing glance. Still, if you have enjoyed any Mario RPG before, this is a definite buy, and if you haven’t then it’s a great place to start.

A surprisingly effort-filled remake of the first Mario & Luigi, which retains the same amusing script as before but revamps the graphics and presentation.
