A little late, but I gotta say it, I was not ready for how peak Bowser Jr's Journey was. It is the single greatest piece of character development I think I've seen out of the Mario franchise. Kamek playing a big role in Jr's change was nice, especially as Jr's technical grandfather, but I gotta be honest, big credit also has to go to Morton. Bowser told the Koopalings "Jr's a good kid, he just needs guidance" and Morton understood the assignment. He did everything for Jr, and remembering that kindness was the final push Jr needed. Morton is easily my favorite Koopaling now.

(9:27) It was a pleasure! I learned a lot, and this is pretty heartwarming.

4:24 I mean even dream team's story was pretty alright too. Other than the main plot, the whole game was about luigi fighting past his fears and stepping up to save his big bro. Every time I look back at those moments from dream team, I can see the amount of broship those two have, no matter what circumstances, they'll always stick out, and be there for each other.

You turned out to be right about Bowser Jr development in Brothership given his friendship with Buddy.

i wanna see bowser junior develop more friends, maybe even his own little supporting cast!

I don't get why Nintendo hasn't remade _Bowser's Minions_ and _Bowser Jr.'s Journey_ into mobile games. That'd work so well probably (maybe except in sales).

i really wish bowser jrs journey was not part of a mediocre remake but its own thing

No spoilers, but you'll be happy to know you are very correct. Bowser Jr. gets his own little chapter, a little time in the spotlight. I won't say too much, but he becomes VERY important near the end of the game. It's really sweet, you'll see. :)

played brothership. Ngl, it was peak of peak, literally the peak of peak that ever peaked. The story's gotta be one of the best since bowser's inside story, especially with how relevant the ending climax is to a growing majority of people nowadays. I only wish they devled more into the negative effects of what isolation can do to people as to why having strong bonds is important in the first place, that would make the whole thing come full circle and probably one of the best climactic finale's for any mario rpg, ever.

Jr. Journey was unplayable to me. No matter what i did i would always loose very early on and because it felt the same way the last minion side mode felt i just stopped caring

true allies really are with you for life.

The fact that they put the Bowser’s Inside Story remake on the 3ds when it was nearing the end of its life was a really bad move. If they would have made it for the switch, it probably would have sold better.

Hoi, I'm a Paper Mario fan who likes all of the games and won't bitch about Sticker Star at any given opportunity. I also am a Bowser Jr fan. My 1st time into to M&L was likely a Superstar Saga demo YEARS ago that I forgot about until I saw the game and kinda remembered about it. My first, official M&L game I owned was BiS. Personally, the worst one for me to start with for obvious reasons and it kinda delayed me for years to own another M&L (I did get a 3DS late and want Dream Team by stores didn't have it by the time I wanted it and had Paper Jam). When I was in the mood to try M&L way more, I managed to get a used copy of Paper Jam and honestly, I needed that game to warm me back up to the franchise after a first got great impression for a game of theirs I owned and then I finally got a used copy of DT. Despite my feelings with BiS and it effecting me, I still looked into Superstar Saga, PiT, and tried to watch one person both DT and PJ before feeling like their videos weren't hooking me to see the game through them. Now, a friend of mine who loves M&L wants to show me Jr's journey because I love him and while I haven't yet, I find this video and see bits and pieces that I've skimmed reading before. Now M&L to me, is a complicated case. I zig zag a lot on things I like and things that I don't. I've butted heads with telling folks how I don't like certain things about M&L, to trolling how I'd trade my BiS copy for Sticker Star (which I'm serious but context is I'm giving it to a friend who lost their OG copy) and was also bummed that, AlphaDream went bankrupt despite having issues, But even I disagreed with the claim that M&L can't be serious and said "Partners in Time did have funny moments but the overall tone was so serious." and also I, a PM fan would sooner say "I don't expect them to because that isn't what they usually do." not saying they can't, I just don't expect it with how M&L can usually operate. and nodded when you brought up PiT as well. Even when M&L was in hibernation, I felt like if PM was still going, it was a matter of when, not an if. (Mind you I said this long before SMRPG Remake was public knowledge.) So imagine my shit eating grin proven right and seeing one of my other M&L loving friends losing their shit. Like I have settled that, while there's things I like about M&L, I don't think it's personally for me and that's fine. However, I'm also the kind of person to try games or look into them to see why people give a damn in the first place. Now we get to Brothership. Due to classes and personal feelings with M&L, I've mostly kept it in mind to talk about here and there with friends but often forget when it's going to release or it's gonna soon. But either way, us Bowser Jr fans are winning in the RPGs, lmao Thanks for the video and sorry for the long comment, clearly I can talk about about stuff like this, pfft

Seeing bowser jr get more humanized with his relationship with buddy was genuinely one of my favorite parts about this game And seeing the end when he and buddy were saying goodbye to eachother actually made me cry The only other mario game that has made me cry is the ending of super oaoer mario, which im sure you can understand why Genuinely one if the most heartwarming moments in any nintendo game ever

no, the fact it's mario and nintendo, made you unzip their pants and start sucking

Casual gamers are more than happy playing Mario Kart on the original Switch. They don’t need the new Switch. This is gonna cause a huge sales drop for the next console

Who cares it's boring and bad

i, for some reason, hadn't heard of brothership until this morning. my brother encouraged me to watch videos about it to hype myself, and that's what i came here for. however, i am just. OVERJOYED to see talk of bowser jr.'s journey. the koopalings are my absolute favorite characters and i grab any content i can for them, and i agree insanely hard with the notion of the story being particularly strong in bjj. you mentioned how it would warrent its own video and i IMPLORE you to do so, it is so deserving of love and discussion and i'm beyond happy to see someone else appreciate it!!

I only watched let's plays and I think Minion's quest had better writing.

Yap ends at 5:00

YES FINALLY VINDICATION FOR THIS GAME

i think i know what switch project they were developing... (its brothership, they probably went bankrupt before they could finish it/start making it so nintendo took it and gave it to another company to finish it)

bro the bowser jr. + buddy arc broke me, it was so well written i was bawling

Honestly, Bowser Jr. feels like they would be perfectly at home in the Mario&Luigi games. Like as you said, he had character development that was amazing to see. Honestly kinda hoped that we got more of it

did you know, in Bowser Junior's Journey, each Koopaling and Kamek has a different thing they say when you fight the Best Fitness Friends -final boss form. Heck, I'd say the final boss of Bowser Junior's Journey is better than the original game. Like they went out of their way to make each Koopaling and Kamek have a unique comment before the final battle against the BFF. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWOciGpqhLammqs As a bonus, I always found the final dialogue right before the Final boss fight in Bowser Junior's Journey to be so deep. Honestly, those who haven't seen it, please go check it out. (you can probably look up Bowser Junior's Journey Final Boss) Also, I find the music in that boss theme, especially when Bowser Junior says "All-right, so, Plan M... It's just the proud Minion spirit!" Right when he says that... that's when the fight gets Epic and good. And the fact it makes clones of the Koopalings for the final battle, so you (if you choose to have the Koopalings with you, are battling it out against them, it's an intense fight. Oh, and the music goes from a solid Boss theme (better than the base games for me (tbh), to a really solid Final Boss theme.) If anything, I feel like the remake deserves more people to check out purely for the side mode.

ign sucks too much and video games to reach and appreciate this moment

The best way to describe brothership is Wind Waker. If you didn't like Wind Waker you won't like this game. I currently love Brothership, yes it's a bit too bloated, but not by that much. I'm currently just starting Act 4 after 22 hours making sure to 100% everything along the way.

Ive played more bowsers minions/bowser jr then the actual remakes

people are still being recommended this video so what are yalls thoughts on brothership so far??

Man who's never experienced friendship before feels emotion

I feel like the IGN reviewer didn’t even make it to the Bro system the way he talked about the game. Didn’t UFO around, didn’t roll around, didn’t shot fire and ice from from afar, didn’t use the bros attacks or got good at using them, didn’t understand the plug system. Just first lighthouse and review.

5/10 my ass

i think it would be funny if they shadow dropped the switch 2 and it released 14 days after it was announced

YES, THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING BUT NO ONE TAKES ME SERIOUSLY. its just the wii u again.

loved the story of minion quest (im biased though, goomba is my favorate mario species. im a goomba at heart) and i love this underdog story. this is the best use of generic minions design. also. 100% right. BJJ is probably the best mario story ever told.

Honestly I feel like they should take another crack at a bowser jr side mode. Hell maybe make it its own game. I mean commanding troops into battle is probably the only way we can get a proper bowser/jr centered game

I remember when my mom played the M&L Dream Team Demo on my 3ds. She had so much fun playing. Good times.

I knew that was a Bowser Jr’s Journey reference. It’s great to see them remember that game

When will they rerelease this for Nintendo switch?!

A minor thing. Bowser's Inside Story for 3DS was actually a great game, as Demeech said. It's the marketing that is the issue. The BIG issue.

Even if the mandates were not real, they are a useful lens to use that illustrates different approaches to a long running series. So even if they are unstated at nintendo they can still be descriptive of a general pattern. Like most conspiraceys, they hold an implicit truth, like the Sonic Cycle or dead internet theory. In other words the mandates are real no matter what.

Bowser Jr. is the best written Mario character and nothing can change my mind. ...when he's not just "aaaaah, my papa will slap your butts" Origami king and this game made Kamek and his grandson's dynamic feel so real, I love it

When I first got Inside Story’s remake, I knew nothing about Mario and Luigi and I just got it because I was bored and wanted to get a new Mario game, I played it, loved it, got DT, SS+BM, PJ, then PiT…and the very last game I played was Bowser Jr’s Journey, I always found it as just a silly side mode with nothing interesting to offer Boy was I wrong

Commenting for the algorithm! Only Chibi-Robo game I've touched is Park Patrol on the DS a few days ago. I walked outside the ship, jammed with and watered some plants, kept dying, didn't know where to go, and dropped the game. In short sequence, after beating Paper Jam 2 weeks ago, I played 75% of Pushmo and put it on hold, played and dropped Park Patrol, COP: The Recruit and Tenchu: Dark Secret. I am now playing AC Happy Home Designer since AC New Leaf took over my life for 3 months last year. That is all lol

"True allies are with you for life." P Diddy can confirm, this is true. Don't matter what you do, you're realist friends will always be at your parties.

Why would you need to be sold on a Mario & Luigi game???? Joke

One of the biggest issues I’m having with brother ship so far is that all the dialog is very Pokémon in a bad way

I saw the part that that frame is talking about... yeah it is worth it.

The biggest problem with the remix is the time and the console exhausting Bowser inside story is not that old game to remake you can still play it on the 3DS because of the backward compatibility Nintendo DS a people waited new player new game and not a remake and partner in time is deserve more the remake
