Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

He's saying it tops SS. And I agree.

Now if only Peasley would make an appearance...

[Helmo]

Yeah, Superstar Saga is amazing.

sorry for not being more clear ^^

So it seems final boss footage has been leaked. I'm avoiding spoiling anymore of the game for myself, but if anyone does watch it, I'm curious to hear some nonspoiler based opinions on it.

Really? Already? As long as it's not another "Bowser's body possessed by the bad guy" shtick, I'll be happy.
I kind of hope we see Midbus again.

But Bowser being possessed is a recurring theme in the series, along with Fawful showing up and Luigi being the butt monkey. I honestly hope it does return since I hate when a series has established elements and then they suddenly drop them (I'm still bummed that Mario didn't turn into 8bit Mario in Sticker Star).


Also, a bit of a spoiler, although it's been shown a few times, even in the E3 trailer so it's not much of a spoiler:

Spoiler

From whats been shown so far Bowser teams up with Antasma to defeat Mario and Luigi, and in one of the earlier battles, it's shown that Antasma does "possess" Bowser, although Bowser is still in full control from the looks of things, Antasma is just powering him up.

Spoiler

Oh, geez. Well hopefully it's played for laughs. Kind of like a "Well, everyone has done this in the past, so let's give it a go!"
And if it happens early in the story, hopefully it'll be a clever way to use it early and make way for some new stuff.

Spoiler

From whats been shown, a lot of it is used as a means to explain how Bowser is able to slip in and out of the dream world, which makes sense seeing as he'd have no way of doing this on his own. Either way, I'm fine with Bowser teaming up with the bad guy this time. If I'm not mistaken he's tried to help the Bros in every go so far (SS he takes them to the Beanbean kingdom, in PiT his younger self save the babies, and he helped them unintentionally in BiS), so this game is breaking tradition by having him being a flat out villain (I kinda hope he helps you at the end to keep the tradition going though).

Wart was in Link's Awakening, why not here? This would be the perfect comeback

[Chaoxys]

Idk, as much as I'd like to see Wart return one day, we already know the main villain of this game, so adding Wart in there seems like it wouldn't really work. I mean, he's a big baddy, having him show up as a random boss just seems unfitting. If they do bring Wart back, I think it'd be better to do so in a game more revolved around him.


Of course, I wouldn't complain if he did show up because I trust Alpha Dream enough to make it work.

[Marth]

They could easily put Wart in as this game's Tolstar; having him control a minor area of the game much like Tolstar did.

EDIT: I mean Tolstar and Wart seem to generally be the same thing, an alternate Bowser.

[Ton]

That would be amazing. I've been waiting years for Wart to come back.

[Helmo]

make him the secret boss

like the one who is actually stronger than the final boss

[Mutsukki]

I just saw the new european trailer, this game is shaping up to be really good!


It's so unfair that NA gets it a month later

edit: It's also E+10 in NA. Weird.
