Mario and Luigi: Brothership Pre-Order Bonus Announced, But Only for Canada

Fans eagerly awaiting the release of Mario and Luigi: Brothership can now pre-order the game early through GameStop and score a special bonus—an exclusive double-sided slipcover featuring the iconic brothers in action. However, there's a catch: this offer is only available to residents of Canada. Set to launch on November 7 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, Mario and Luigi: Brothership is the latest installment in the beloved franchise, marking its return with a fresh RPG twist since its last release on the Nintendo 3DS back in 2018.

Recently, Nintendo unveiled a new trailer showcasing some of the exciting areas players will explore in Mario and Luigi: Brothership, including the newly introduced world of Concordia. Despite the series being on hiatus for six years, the game promises to deliver a thrilling adventure, allowing fans to once again control the lovable and occasionally goofy duo.

Previously, gamers who pre-ordered the game through the French retailer Micromania received a bonus steelbook featuring Mario and Luigi on the cover. Now, Canadian fans opting for the physical edition can pre-order through GameStop to receive a vibrant, exclusive slipcover artwork of the energetic brothers battling it out in various stages of combat.

Exclusive Pre-Order Bonus for GameStop Canada

Nintendo recently released two new videos that dive deeper into the combat mechanics of Mario and Luigi: Brothership. Players can look forward to teaming up with Mario and Luigi to unleash powerful Bros. Attacks. One such move, called the "Thunder Dynamo," involves the brothers working together to push a see-saw-like object, generating electricity to summon a massive storm cloud that zaps enemies. Another standout move, the Koopa Shell, has Mario and Luigi kicking a shell soccer-style before delivering a powerful finishing blow to knock down foes.

After the closure of Mario & Luigi developer AlphaDream, the future of the series seemed uncertain. Fortunately, Mario and Luigi: Brothership looks set to revive the fan-favorite RPG with its signature humor and dynamic turn-based combat, much to the excitement of long-time fans.

If you're in Canada and plan on grabbing the physical version, the GameStop pre-order bonus is the perfect way to celebrate the return of these beloved brothers!
