At long last, Nintendo has released its first update for Mario & Luigi: Brothership today on Nintendo Switch. Despite launching all the way back in early November 2024, Brothership had not received post-launch support of any sort until this new update. In some ways, this is unsurprising given that Nintendo games tend to launch in a strong state with very few issues. Still, this doesn’t mean that Mario & Luigi: Brothership didn’t have any problems whatsoever as Nintendo has now looked to squash these errors.

Nintendo has resolved issues in Brothership related to gameplay, specific items, and certain boss battles. While none of these past issues were game-breaking, the fact that Nintendo now resolved them should make Brothership slightly better than before.
