Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions

SCORE: 71

I was shocked to learned Family Friendly Gaming had not sounded off on Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga before. So we purchased Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions on the Nintendo 3DS. The PR and Marketing failures of Nintendo continue on. I think Nintendo just likes to make it hard on us. They take an older game re-release it, and add just a little bit of content. In my opinion Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions is worth twenty dollars brand new.

The issues families can have with Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions is violence, ghosts, sexual content, lack of attire, enticement to lust, crude humor, and more. I love the ‘R’ button in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions. It lets us fast forward through much of the mindless babbling. They characters like to hear themselves talk.

The ‘X’ button in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions will let both of your characters jump at once. You have to select that option though. There are other moves like jumping higher, spin attack, hammer attack, and more. Leveling up is one of the coolest things in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions. We get some stat improvements, then we can pick a stat and improve it with a spinning wheel.

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions contains Amiibo support. I did not even test that since generally Amiibo support has been lame and not worth it with most other Nintendo games. Bowsers Minions is interesting if you like playing with the bad characters. I found it to be really small, and not very interesting.

The bean theme is found throughout Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions on the Nintendo 3DS. This hand held video game is a decent role playing game if you are quick with your reactions. Why do I say that? You can avoid attacks if you react properly. Like jump at the right time to avoid damage. This game requires constant attention.

I enjoyed my time with Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions. I disagree with the ESRB rating. I believe with all of the bad content this game should be rated no lower than an ‘E10+’. At least the ESRB could find some words to add as descriptors to Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowsers Minions. Last time they could find no words to describe any of the bad content. No wonder the ESRB is trusted less than Nintendo is. The video game industry needs a major clean up.
