So, with the upcoming release of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey for the 3DS, many people are wondering: why did Nintendo skip Partners in Time and go straight from Superstar Saga to BIS?


Well, I have a guess.
Nintendo may have decided that, since the neither the Nintendo Switch games (In order to make them compatible with the dock) nor PiT (except for one cutscene, which can be replaced with motion controls) use touch controls, Partners in time would be a good way to introduce the series to the Switch.

I feel like both SS and BiS were ported/remade to reuse the assets/engine easily in a low budget 3DS game. Given PiT wasn't particularly received amazingly, it makes sense it was skipped to remake BiS.

Considering the release date of the remake, my guess is that Alphadream had only one last game planned for the 3DS and opted to remake BiS because it was more successful.

True, but wouldn't it be cool? Motion controls, left joycon for Luigi, right for Mario, hold SL/SR for the respective babies!
EVEN A 2 PLAYER MODE WITH 2 PAIRS OF JOYCON

BTW, @CeeDee, how'd you get your signature to be randomized?
Pretty cool

Hell no, motion controls have no place in Mario & Luigi.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
