Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros Releasing in December for Europe and Australia

Sorry, North America.

Nintendo’s Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros, another iteration in the Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi franchise, will be releasing on December 4th in Europe and December 10th in Australia on the 3DS. That’s a good several months before its Spring 2016 release in the United States so let the jealousy burn within you.

Announced at E3 2015 during Nintendo’s Direct presentation, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros is a crossover between the characters of Paper Mario and the Mario & Luigi franchise. Playable characters include Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario and you’ll have several intriguing abilities on hand. For example, Paper Mario can clone himself, slip through cracks, transform into a paper aeroplane, etc.

There will also be new Paper Craft Battles which sees players taking part in rhythmic events to power papercraft and defeat enemy papercrafts. So yes, dance battles.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros will also be out in Japan on December 3rd. There’s currently no fixed release date for North America so stay tuned for more details.
