Mario & Luigi to include mode 'for masochists'

If you found earlier entries in the Mario & Luigi series too easy, Nintendo's got a new mode set to torture you.

We recently had the chance to chat with Nintendo's Senior Localization Manager, Nate Bihldorff, about the translation process for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, as well as some more general details about the game, which releases this week for the Nintendo DS. While you can check out the entire interview here, we found this question about the game's difficulty most intriguing:

The main game requires some good management of badges and gear to maximize your battle skills, and the game itself is really long. If that's not enough, then I have two words for you: Challenge Node. It's a section of Bowser's body specifically set up for masochists who thought the other games were too easy.

We're always fans of Nintendo's more hardcore-skewing games, and nothing says hardcore like taking on near-impossible challenges while trapped inside Bowser's guts. Be sure to check back soon for our review of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story!

THE VERDICT by Dave Rudden Dave Rudden's Avatar

You guys should check out the full interview, as it's a pretty good read. I'm still kicking myself for not asking about how the Martin Short classic "Innerspace" influenced the game.

Hahaha... well if I'm not mistaken there's only 2 entryways in and out of a body... Unless if you include his penis. Wait... does Bowser have a penis? Wait... What am I saying?!?!
