Mario & Luigi: Brothership Receives First Update – Here’s What’s New
The latest entry in the Mario & Luigi RPG series, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, has just received its first post-launch update, bringing a range of fixes and improvements. Version 1.0.1 is now available for download, addressing some early issues reported by players and refining the overall gameplay experience.

Among the most notable changes are stability improvements, which should help prevent occasional crashes that some users encounter. Additionally, the update includes various bug fixes, such as resolving certain dialogue errors and improving the consistency of character animations in specific cutscenes.
One of the more welcome tweaks is a minor balance adjustment, particularly in some of the game’s more challenging encounters. Some enemies had been slightly overturned in difficulty, and this patch makes battles a bit more manageable without sacrificing the game’s strategic depth. Players have also reported that certain side quests and collectables had minor glitches, and the patch notes confirm that these issues have now been addressed.
Beyond these technical updates, Mario & Luigi: Brothership remains a vibrant and engaging RPG that continues the legacy of the beloved series. With its signature humour, clever combat mechanics, and charming story, fans have been eager to dive into the latest adventure featuring the iconic duo.
While this patch focuses on fixes rather than new content, it’s reassuring to see that the developers are actively supporting the game. Future updates may bring additional enhancements or even new features, but for now, Version 1.0.1 ensures a smoother and more polished experience for players. Here is a link on how to update.
