In a recent interview, Nintendo producer Akira Otani spoke more about the origins of Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
Otani, who has been working the series since Partners in Time on Nintendo DS, said that it’s been a challenge to match the franchise’s artwork with the in-game graphics. This is what partially promoted the decision to feature full 3D visuals on Mario & Luigi: Brothership and release it for Nintendo Switch.

A report that went under the radar seems to indicate that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was originally planned to be a sequel to A Link to the Past.
Prior to the launch of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, some fans have pointed out that the game’s map was very reminiscent of the map from A Link to the Past. It turns out there’s apparently a reason for that. Before Nintendo and Grezzo settled on things like the Echoes and having Zelda take the starring role, the game was imagined as a sequel to the SNES classic. That changed once the project entered full development.
