You will face many obstacles on your quest across the islands of Concordia in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, in the form of classic turn-based battles and exploration. However, like every other Switch title, those who enjoy hunting for Trophies or Achievements won’t find them here. Instead, Mario & Luigi: Brothership includes its own set of in-game challenges to scratch that same itch. These are difficult tasks that are completely optional but reward you with some very precious upgrade materials that are worth the effort. These will push you to use all the game’s mechanics and tools. Most will be available from the start, but some only unlock later on so you can’t complete them all at once. If you want to know what challenges await you in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, here’s every challenge in the game and what your reward is for completing them.

The iPhone Duo may be the Nintendo DS replacement I didn’t expect
Delta is preparing dedicated support for the iPhone Duo, potentially turning Apple’s new foldable into a surprisingly capable dual-screen retro gaming machine.

Apple’s new iPhone Duo already has plenty going for it as the company’s first foldable, but there may be another reason to get excited about those two screens: Nintendo DS games. Delta, one of the most popular retro game emulators available on iPhone and iPad, is working on dedicated support for Apple’s foldable. The news comes via RetroDodo, which reached out to Delta lead developer Riley Testut about whether the emulator would take advantage of the Duo’s unusual form factor.

Testut confirmed that dedicated iPhone Duo support is already in the works, although he stopped short of giving it a release date. And this feels like much more than Delta adapting to another new iPhone. The Duo’s folding design could finally give Nintendo DS games the kind of dual-screen setup that regular smartphones have always struggled to replicate.
