Every January 2019 Video Game Release Ranked By Anticipation

10. Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr's Journey

Resident Evil 2 Remake
Nintendo

Release Date: January 11

Platforms: 3DS

Nintendo sure loves porting their older games to new systems. In this case, it's not salvaging some poor Wii U game for the Switch, but a niche title from the DS to the 3DS.

The game in question is a rare attempt at combining Mario with the RPG genre (a noble concept explored in the underrated Paper Mario series). In this one, the Super Bros are swallowed whole by Bowser yet instead of cutting to Game Over, it's only the beginning of this offbeat adventure.

If you own a 3DS this a natural must-buy and a fun and off-kilter Mario title.
