Let's do another one of these, shall we? I might be able to guess where this one's going.
 
New M&L game after nine years without a new one? I so want it.
 
Definitely M&L brothership.
Mostly because it's the first M&L game I can buy as i never had a gba ds or 3ds
 
Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and it's not even close. I am a huge fan of the Mario & Luigi series, with the first four games being some of my favourite games of all time, so to see the series brought back whilst avoiding the sterility of Paper Jam is a dream come true. After AlphaDream filed for bankruptcy, I honestly wasn't sure if M&L would EVER get revived, and especially not after we literally just had the TTYD and SMRPG remakes, as well as several other Mario games recently like Showtime, so I really was NOT expecting this to happen today but oh my gosh today is actually the day that M&L is offically alive again!!!!!!! This is potentially an even greater sign that the future of Mario RPGs is bright than the remakes, as one could argue that the remakes aren't bound by the same restrictions as a totally new game and that future Mario RPGs that weren't remakes would go back to restricted characters and gimmicky gameplay styles that aren't as fun as the classic gameplay, but Brothership looks like it returns both the original characters and the classic M&L gameplay (not that the M&L series ever did deviate from its classic gameplay style, unlike Paper Mario), so I'm now more optimistic that my favourite area of the Mario franchise might be returning to its former glory for good.
 
I would say the Mario and Luigi game. I was expecting either a remake/3DS port of Superstar Saga or remake of N64 Paper Mario. It's nice to know that the series will still go on.

New Mario Party looks cool and I'll definitely try it out, but I would liked extra characters and boards for Mario Party Superstars and Super. (Mostly for Superstars).
