But the director said there's something preventing it from happening |
Back to the Future director Robert Zemeckis wants to do it all again, with a twist.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership review: Nintendoâs new RPG will leave fans divided |
The new seafaring adventure 'adds more RPG depth to the series, but its flat writing and overabundance of gimmicks drag it downâ
|
Digital Trends' in-depth review of Nintendoâs Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a mixed one, loving the new video game for its expressive animation, innovative Battle Plugs, and socially relevant story, while loathing its sluggish pacing, poor performance, and excessive number of gimmicks. As per the review: âI wouldnât label Mario & Luigi: Brothership as a bad game, but whatâs cruelly ironic is that itâs a middle-of-the-road effort thatâs sure to sow the very division its story aims to combat. Some fans will love it, praising its cheery visuals and deep combat system. Others will hate it, feeling like itâs another part of a long series downslideâ ... |
