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.

Mario & Luigi Brothership managed No.3 in the UK boxed charts this week. Launch sales were 23% lower than last year’s Super Mario RPG remake, and 29% down vs the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door remake. May as well just stick with those remakes, right Nintendo?

Developed by ArtePiazza (who also worked on various Dragon Quest titles), Super Mario RPG offers remade visuals and cutscenes. Exploration is mostly the same, with returning composer Yoko Shimomura providing some new orchestral arrangements for the music, though the classic soundtrack is still available.

As for the combat, several new mechanics, like damaging several opponents with perfectly timed strikes and the Triple Move, are available. There are also new features like the Gallery for viewing enemies and an option to face more challenging versions of bosses in the post-game. Head here for more details.

Fans of Mario RPGs can also look forward to Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, which launches next year for Nintendo Switch. However, it will seemingly run in 30 frames per second.
