It's just what my 10 y.o. nephew needed. The first sales associate was rude, but the cashier was courteous and helpful

This GBA game has been completely remastered and looks beautiful on the New Nintendo 3DS. The new content added with Bowser’s Minions makes this a game worth buying twice. One of my favorite GBA games, nice to see it still holds up.

The original Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga released on the Game Boy Advance in the early aughts. Now, the game has been remade with improved visuals, music, and design changes, PLUS an all-new mode has been included. A stellar value for an engaging RPG adventure in Superstar Saga and a nice bonus mode with Bowser's Minions.

I enjoyed the original Super Star Saga, so I picked up this game as soon as possible. The updated graphics and music really enhanced my childhood memory, and the touch screens makes it very easy to change actions or navigate.
The Bowser's Minion mini game is also very interesting. It is a bit tiring to play though, because you need to think deep into strategy.
The greatest bummer is that they removed 3D support. There were many places where 3D would have looked awesome, but they decided to cut it all. Otherwise, this game is just awesome!

I'm old enough to own and remember playing the original. This is the same with updated graphics. The new Bowers minion game is well worth the price tag. If you're solely looking for the original, the Wii U virtual console has that available too.

I got half way when a glitch happened. I didn't want to lose how far I'd come so I tried that level again...same thing it froze. Luckily there is player two so I started over and deleted player one. So far so good. I love all Mario and Luigi games and this one is good except for the glitch.

Plays exactly like the original only with improved graphics for the 3DS. Would have liked to see 3D option, but still great nonetheless.

Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga was my favorite game on the Gameboy Advance when I was a kid. Now it's on the 3DS with enhancements and it's awesome. A must have for RPG fans, kids who like Pokemon and want something with similar combat, or pretty much any 3DS owner who can read.

The original game was my first GameBoy Advance game, so when this HD remake was announced I was ecstatic. I'm happy to say it does not disappoint. It was amazing to revisit this story once again. If you want an RPG Mario then pick this game up.

The graphics are a lot better. I truly enjoy playing this game again. The new feature is pretty fun, but you have to unlock the Bowsers minions game. Overall I am glad they remade this for the 3DS.
