Mario & Luigi will explore Concordia in their newest adventure!
This new trailer,which Nintendo recently posted all over their social media, reveals the name of the main location that the famous plumber brothers will visit and explore in their upcoming RPG adventure:Concordia. Judging by the footage, it’s evident that this is a beautiful place with its own unique flora & fauna. The official description of the video describes this adventure as an “island getaway”, so it’s evident that they’re aiming for a setting with a tropical atmosphere.
Luckily for Mario fans, Nintendo revealed further information in the official Japanese website forMario & Luigi: Brothership. The main takeaway is that Concordia is a mysterious land that the plumbers are visiting for the first time, and it’s entirely made up of different drifting islands that they will be able to explore throughout their adventure.
Mario and Luigi will get to Concordia by setting sail on a drifting island that also works as a ship, fittingly namedShip Island. From that point onwards, they will have to explore the multiple other drifting islands of the region, likeGran Gran Island, a place filled with rock-like residents and environments,Tuis Island, a tourist destination where a species of twisted tree can grow,Xenialver Island, an urban island with a big city that contributes to the economy of the region,Kandang Island, an island that is half magma and half ice, and much more.
On each island, Mario and Luigi will meet curious characters and fight threatening monsters, so each one of them will surely contain many surprises for the player (Keep in mind that Nintendo hasn’t revealed the official English names for these islands, but it’s most likely that the English localization will either keep the same names or use new ones that sound very similar).
Meet new, funky-looking characters!
The website also revealed a bunch of interesting new information about the antagonistic group of characters that was seen in previousMario & Luigi: Brothershiptrailers. They are theBoldrud Squad, and the site explains that they are “suspicious characters giving orders behind the scenes”. It did not reveal much more information about them, so it’s most likely Nintendo is keeping them under wraps, so players will be able get to know more about the Boldrud Squad in the game.
On the other hand, however, the website also showed off the newCombination Attacksthat the pair of brothers will be able to pull off inMario & Luigi Brothership. This is a staple of this RPG series, and the animation in this new entry is absolutely beautiful and extremely detailed.
