This outing adds Bowser as a playable character, and, from what we saw (and you can see in the above video), Mario's long-time nemesis brings some nasty power-moves to the party. It also looks like players will control him solo, rather than throwing him into a three-character combat system. That's okay with us; as long as IS keeps coming up with cool gameplay mechanics using both Mario bros. and crafting a zany story to compliment them, we're there.

"Video and Screens:Mario and Luigi and Bowser Make 3"
For some reason the title gave me the idea that this video was going to be related to rule 34.
Damn 4chan (and Naked Peach Squad,you don't help either)

Erm... The Mario & Luigi series isn't by Intelligent Systems, it's by AlphaDream. IntSys does the Paper Mario series.
Still, looking forward to this. Both prior M&L games were awesome.

Seconded! Can't wait for this game! Series has so much more charm, character, and innovation than most JRPGs. The writing is consistently great as well!

Hey Joystiq, your video player never works for me. I know it's powered by Viddler and I can watch it on Viddler(http://www.viddler.com/explore/Joystiq/videos/180/), but the embedded player never works. Perhaps you can put a link to the video's Viddler page on every video until you figure out the problem?
