Brothership has given a very promising look into the continuation of a series that seemed permanently dormant.

Announced in June this year, Nintendo's Mario & Luigi: Brothership is set to be released this November for the Nintendo Switch. While we're almost a full month away from the game hitting retail, a copy has apparently leaked and is being played by someone right this moment.
