Description This is my personal tribute to AlphaDream, the original developers of the Mario & Luigi RPG series, whom have now gone defunct as of October 2019.

As a longtime fan of the series, this especially pains the heart.    

I grew up playing all 5 mainline games (not counting the remakes), and not counting Pokemon, THIS was the series that introduced me to the RPG genre I now love.

My first game was Bowser's Inside Story, but my personal favorite would have to be Dream Team (that game in particular got me through a tough time in my life, plus I am a HUGE fan of the Zeekeeper). Truthfully, I don't think there has ever been a "bad" Mario & Luigi game. All of them are incredibly polished, so it's hard for me to admit some of their apparent faults.

Concerning the artwork, I've also had a loooong history with the art style in and of itself. I started to draw inspiration from the official Mario & Luigi promotional artwork in my high school days, and it's been a big impact on my work ever since. Much of my own personal art style draws inspirations from the games' artwork themselves.

Well, there goes my potential hopes for a Mario & Luigi RPG 6....
This will be a tough pill to swallow, yes, but I will remain open and optimistic in case Nintendo somehow revitalizes the series. For now, we could only wait.

Even if the series' future seems bleak as we know it, it doesn't have to be that way for my artwork at all!

I would NOT be where I am now if it hadn't been for this awesome, hilarious, and whimsical series. It's become a huge part of me at this point. I've come a long way since I began to undertake this art style professionally, and I believe I'm better at it now more so than ever before.

I still wish to recreate as many characters as possible in this style, and trust me, your commissions (whenever I am open, lol), truly help in that regard.
May the legacy continue!

Don't worry. Alphadream's gone, but there's not a snowball's chance in hell that the Mario you love will die off that easily. 

Plus, it's far from easy to make the mario games take a massive decline like Starfox did.

ToxicIsland In reply to KoreOfEmAll [2020-02-28 04:17:54 +0000 UTC]

But arn't both Mario and Starfox made by the same company?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

KoreOfEmAll In reply to ToxicIsland [2020-02-28 17:03:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes. 
But Starfox screwed up by making a game with a storyplot that takes multiple paths but doesn't flow to a concrete ending. Thus, their lack of story flow made it nearly impossible to create a sequel to the game. 
Mario, on the other hand, doesn't pay much attention to story plot, at least not very often. There are a few games like Bowser inside story, or luigi dream team, but since the story doesn't exactly matter, it's easy to make sequel games. 

And due to the popularity still lingering, companies will jump at the chance to use it to real in them muns. 

Essentially, it doesn't take much to keep the mario franchise going, unlike starfox. 
you catch my drift?

But isn’t gameplay supposed to be more important than story in video games?

KoreOfEmAll In reply to ToxicIsland [2020-02-29 04:12:52 +0000 UTC]

Depends on the video game. 
Like detective pikachu for example, story plot matters there. 
Mario focuses on action. 
and some, like legend of Zelda or Star Fox, are a mix between the two.

So is the most recent Star Fox game, Star Fox Zero loaded with glitches, much like most modern Sonic games?

No. I was talking about Star Fox command. 
Y'know, the one that screwed up the Star Fox story almost completely? The big blunder of Star Fox? It was made in 2006

ToxicIsland In reply to KoreOfEmAll [2020-02-29 04:20:46 +0000 UTC]

Still, was Star Fox Zero any better in terms of gameplay and storytelling?

KoreOfEmAll In reply to ToxicIsland [2020-02-29 04:24:03 +0000 UTC]

...I have no idea. I haven't even looked at a game summary of it. 
The only Star Fox games I know are Adventures, Assault, and Command.

First Cing, and now AlphaDream.. 
Nintendo really doesn't want to help them out of their situations, but sure would gladly help PlatinumGames.

Dude, this tribute to Mario and Luigi really expresses the love you have for a series you hold dear to your heart. Every detail really captures the game's cartoony dynamic and the pastel-crayon-ish artwork you'd find on the box.

As one Mario and Luigi fan to another, I loved this RPG series too. The Mario and Luigi RPGs were awesome, including the mainline games and remakes! The only one I haven't gotten a chance to play was Paper Jam. I'm currently replaying Dream Team on Hard Mode! If this was like a final installment to the series, this artwork should DEFINITELY be on the box!

That's not how it works, man. When a company goes out of business, then they can't afford to make games.

Nintendo is the Publisher. AlphaDream was the developer. 2 different groups each requiring funds in different ways...do your research please. Nintendo owns the characters, but developers can be licensed by Nintendo, under their supervision, to make games with their Intellectual Property.
