    Remind me to bump my score from a 6.5 to a 7 when Favslist is fully functional again. I recently played it with @Dario64 and it wasn't as "bad" as I remember. It actually does most things better than the predecessor, but the completely unnecessary mini-games ruin the experience quite a bit. Plus the badges are kinda underused in this game. Besides that it's a good game and I really liked the portrayal of Fawful as the ultimate villain. His insanity was just priceless; it made me laugh every time!

    The completely unnecessary 3DS remake of this game (thankfully) massively flopped in Japan:

    It was a stupid decision to remake this game in the first place. First of all, you can already play the DS version on the 3DS. Second of all, a remake simply isn't necessary - the 2D Mario & Luigi RPGs age really well so the decision to remake a game from one generation ago is absolutely baffling. Now, if they brought this to Switch with HD graphics then it would have been a completely different story. Releasing this on what is essentially a dying system wasn't really clever.
    I hope they don't draw the wrong conclusions... it's not "The Mario & Luigi franchise is dead, people don't want a M&L game!" but more like "The Mario & Luigi franchise don't sell anymore on portables, time to give the Switch a try".
