Jan 13, 2019Remember playing Mario & Luigi games on my DS. It takes all elements of the original. Graphics feel more polished. For some reason I prefer the original. All in all this is a great port.
8/10 -
Jan 15, 2019If you're the kind of person who does not like turn-based games, just like me, this game is for you. It's a good introduction to this world, the story, the fun game-play, all the interactions that the game offers, the graphic part that is very beautiful and flashy, the game literally invites you to several hours of fun, totally recommended!

Feb 7, 2019One of the best remakes of all time, it has all characteristics from that glorious game of the DS, with the new game mode of Bowser Jr it makes it better than it is as it happens with the Superstar Saga remake

Jan 11, 2019I adored the original, and this version easily lives up to it. It retains all the charm, battles, and story from the original. It also has some new content and feels more polished than the original. It's not a ten though, as the Bowser Jr mode is only okay. But still, this game is really enjoyable, and is one of the best 3DS remakes/ports.

Nov 10, 2019A port of Mario and Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story for the 3DS is already neat, but the new Bowser Jr’s Journey story is just great

Nov 5, 2019The best Mario and Luigi game out there. A good entry point for newcomers or diehard fans.

Dec 15, 2019I don't hate the game, but paying for a game that came in the late years of the 3ds? I'm sorry, but i recommend playing the original.
But the game was good graphics that's for sure -
Jan 6, 2020I love the game. It is my favourite Mario and Luigi game. When you buy a Mario game pleas this one.

Jul 20, 2020Great game, so obviously a remake will just be good off the bat. The only issue is that you really have no reason to get this game if you have the original, since the new content in the remake is pretty much non existent.

Jun 13, 2022This is the greatest game of 2019. No question. Graphics. Gameplay. Story. All incredible
-
Jun 19, 2022This remake is a great example on how to do a remake right, I just wish it was on switch, instead of 3ds. Then it would be solid dimond.

Nintendo Force MagazineAug 22, 2019The 3DS version of Bowser's Inside Story might not be fully necessary – the original is still 100% playable – but it's the definitive version of the game. [Issue #38 – March/April 2019, p. 68]

Mar 11, 2019Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is just as good as it was in 2009. It's still side-splittingly funny, clever, and genuinely a joy to play. Bowser Jr.'s Journey is a major slog, but that doesn't diminish my overall enjoyment one bit. If you're looking for a fun, active RPG that will keep a smile on your face throughout hours of playtime, look no further than Bowser's Inside Story (or honestly, any of the games in the Mario & Luigi series)!

Mar 4, 2019Mario & Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story is not a new name but this 3DS remaster is still a welcome effort thanks to its top-notch RPG mechanics with lovely visuals and sound, as well as its trademark humour and fun. While the new Bowser Jr. element doe not operate a revolution, the game's overall experience is nothing short of fun and it fits very nicely in the series' legacy.
