Ready… FIGHT.

Hi folks, welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl!

Last week, we took a look at the wonderful Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga + Bowser’s Minions for the Nintendo 3DS. North America and Japan joined forces against Europe, but their combined might simply wasn’t enough to bag the win.
