Mario and Luigi: Brothership’s Physical UK Launch Sales Are Lower Than Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The newly-released turn-based RPG debuted at No. 3 in the latest weekly physical UK charts, but failed to sell as well as other recent Mario RPG releases.

The back-to-back releases of Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remakes has been a dream come true for fans of Mario RPGs, and Nintendo has capped off that string of releases with Mario and Luigi: Brothership– though it seems like the newly released turn-based RPG seems to have attracted a smaller audience at launch compared to the aforementioend titles (in the UK, at least).

That’s as per data shared by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring on Twitter, who revealed that though Mario and Luigi: Brothership debuted in the No. 3 spot of the physical weekly UK charts for last week, its launch physical sales in the region are 23 percent lower than the Super Mario RPG remake, and 29 percent lower than the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remake.

Of course, it remains to be seen how the game sells over a prolonged period, and how well it does in other regions, but early data does seem to be indicating that Brothership isn’t attracting quite the same level of attention.

Mario and Luigi: Brothership is available on the Nintendo Switch.
