About

One of the most acclaimed games in the Mario & Luigi RPG series is getting a remake on Nintendo 3DS. In addition to the game’s revamped graphics and refined gameplay, a new side story follows Bowser Jr. as he gathers an army, creates formations, supports his allies with an arsenal of moves and generally causes chaos (in the best way possible).

    If slightly dated graphics don’t matter, then the original can be had for a fraction of the cost. Otherwise there’s still a lot of content for $40 in the main game alone, and there’s of course the addition of the Bowser Jr.’s Journey. Regardless of the version however, Bowser’s Inside Story is one of the best in the Mario RPG titles and should be played.

    If you’ve never played the original and you still get some utility out of your 3DS, Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey is an easy recommendation. I imagine that this would be a small audience, but surely there are young’uns out there who have not experienced the wit and humor that this game has to offer. Ten years later, and I still grin every time Fawful says some variation of “I HAVE CHORTLES!” Moreso than any other modern Mario game, it adds a lot of personality to these otherwise silent and stock characters.
