Mario and Luigi Brothership release countdown: Exact start time and date

Nintendo has finally announced a new entry to the Mario and Luigi series: Mario and Luigi Brothership. This will be the sixth installment in the long-running RPG series, and we’re here to tell you when it’s out.

Mario and Luigi Brothership sees you setting sail with the Italian plumbers on an island-hopping adventure through the world of Concordia. If you want to join them, read on for the Mario and Luigi Brothership release date and time.

Mario and Luigi Brothership release date and time

Mario and Luigi Brothership will be released on Nov. 7, 2024, as announced at the June 18 Nintendo Direct.

While Nintendo hasn’t confirmed a release time for Mario and Luigi Brothership, Nintendo titles always release at midnight local time, so you can get your hands on it when the clock strikes midnight in your region.

Our countdown below is ticking down to midnight CT on Nov. 7.

From what we’ve seen, Mario and Luigi Brothership seems to have fun new movement and platforming ideas, unique combat mechanics, and the signature cartoonish humor the Mario and Luigi series is known for.

This is promising, given this is the first Mario and Luigi game not developed by AlphaDream, a developer with close ties to Nintendo that filed for bankruptcy in 2019. Nintendo hasn’t confirmed who the developer behind Mario and Luigi Brothership is, but some of the original series team is likely on board.

What platforms will Mario and Luigi Brothership be available on?

Mario and Luigi Brothership is a Nintendo Switch exclusive. This isn’t a surprise, as this is usually the case for Nintendo titles. However, whether this game will be available on the Switch’s successor remains to be seen.
