Mario and Luigi's latest RPG adventure is coming to the Nintendo Switch in the form of Mario and Luigi: Brothership. It's one of the biggest first-party Switch games to drop in the back half of 2024, and it's safe to say that many people are excited about jumping into this one.
Knowing the exact release time willhelp if you plan on picking up the digital version of Mario and Luigi: Brothership via the Switch eShop, which this guide is intended to help players with.
How Do You Think Nintendo Is Going to Reveal the Switch 2?
Considering that Nintendo shadow-dropped the Switch reveal trailer back in 2016, just a few months before the console's launch, a lot of people think Nintendo is going to do the same thing for the Switch 2. However, I think that it's more likely that the House of Mario will drop a tweet any day now that will announce a time for a Nintendo Direct specifically dedicated to the next Switch hardware. This will ensure that everyone is tuned into the reveal simultaneously, and the internet will probably explode because of it.
Mario and Luigi Brothership Release Date
When Can You Play Brothership?
- Unlike most big first-party Nintendo games, Mario & Luigi: Brothership is set to launch on a Thursday (November 7 to be exact).
Traditionally, you see big games launching on Fridays, but Nintendo's been changing it up lately. Super Mario Party Jamboree and Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom were released and launched on Thursdays in October and September, respectively.

Brothership eShop Unlock Time
Unlike other gaming publishers, Nintendo usually does not share release time info via Twitter. Still, on the company's support page for Switch eShop digital launch times, first-party games tend to go live around midnight ET on the launch day. This means that if you're somewhere on the West Coast of the US, like California or Washington, you can play Mario and Luigi: Brothership as early as 9 PM PT on Wednesday, November 6.
