Video: This Dr. Luigi Trailer May Be The Perfect Remedy

Sounds nice, but why not make the multiplayer similarly to PuyoPuyo? As in, viruses you eliminate will be dropped on the opponents field. Would make for better competition than luck-based virus elimination...

I've been greatly considering this one.. I may if my movie date with my fiancé later doesn't kill my wallet.

I would love to get this but $15 seens a littke too high a price. So I will probably wait for a sale.

@paburrows Oh Nintendo have their games on sale now?

@XFsWorld I dont think so at the moment, but Im hoping that eventually therecwill be one. There was a pretty big one last week.

@Galenmereth How about games that aren't in the virtual console category?

@XFsWorld Maybe not, but they certainly seem to be making a habit of defying precedent.

@Galenmereth SMB3 is only out in EU and not NA at the moment I think.

@ Kawaii_Neko Maybe we'll get SMB3 tomorrow although unfortunately I doubt it.

I like it, but the lack of a story mode and no 4 player vs. really brings the entire package down. Maybe they'll release them as free updates down the line?

I picked it up yesterday... The L-shaped pills definitely make it a little easier... I'm glad they included the classic way too... gonna try online today!

Maybe if it was $9.99 or maybe $8/7.99 but not for $14.99.
SMB3, ALTTP, MMX2 should've been in NA by now. But no, NOA trolls us with Super Punch-Out!!, which I'm sure isn't a bad game as it is a Nintendo IP, but come on!

I'd buy it if it was on 3DS. I don't need/want a Wii U.

Guys, I have to say, after spending an hour or so with this title, I'm starting to get buyers remorse. The "L" shapes are beginning to get monotonous. And VC on Wii-U is still in terrible shape. Forget who got what first. No Genesis, Turbo Grafix, N64, nada. All had games available at launch on the Wii. That was 2006. Frankly I don't care if SMB3 is on sale or not since I've got it on Wii mode means I'll only pay a buck for it.

I love the dr. Mario games but wouldn't pay more than a fiver (uk) for one and feel it's more suited to the 3DS than the wii u

I'd definitely get this game if it had a more fair price. I'm thinking around $7-9. At $15, not gonna happen.

Bought this game for $10, take THAT. lol

I'd have a hard time spending 5 for this let alone the asking price. Well after reading it has online maybe a tenner.

@Mizore,
How did you get it at that price?

@SamuraiShyGuy He's either trolling or he already had $5 in eShop funds and only needed 10 more.

I loved playing Dr Mario online with WiiWare. But does this game's release mean that the old game's servers will shut down soon? ...I would be saddened if that were the case.

This will be my first "Dr. Mario" so I don't care its just a reskinned HD Dr.Mario for WiiWare. Always appreciate another game featuring my favorite Mario character. Luigi all the way!

Not trolling, I'm part of that Deluxe Promotion thing, lol
So, yeah...got $5 after buying NES Remix, so this game ended up being $10 for me.

@Hyperstar96
Couldn't disagree more. I haven't played Dr Mario since I was a kid, and I gotta say, they went all out on this one. Game looks absolutely gorgeous, with online play and the new Virus Buster mode on the Gamepad.... it's excellent.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this game that much, but I bought it just out of curiosity. And I absolutely LOVE Virus Buster mode. Being able to drag the pills, even leftover squares that are falling, is genius. It's so much fun I just can't believe it. I never thought a game this simple could be so addicting! And that's coming from someone who was never a big fan of the games.

$15 is pocket change. For the price of one retail game, you can get Wii Sports Club Golf, Wii Sports Club Tennis, Wii Sports Club Bowling, NES Remix and Dr Luigi. I'd say that's about right.

@Hyperstar96
That may be true, but I know for a fact this is the first time you can use a stylus to control everything. And that's what I love about it. It makes so much of a difference- in fact, it's the only mode I've really gotten into so far, although the online will be nice to play against my buddy at work.

WANT

@SahashraLA You're having a tantrum over some ancient NES games?

Wow.

@Hyperstar96

I understand that particular mode was available before now, but what I was saying is this is the first time in a Dr. Mario game. Brain Age is not Dr. Mario. And that particular mode being available in Brain Age does that detract from how much fun THIS game is to play, especially considering the size of the gamepad screen when held vertically, which is quite a jump from the bottom half of a DS screen. But just because some DS game had a similar game mode doesn't mean that Dr. Luigi can't be fully enjoyed. All I know is I like THIS game. I find it super fun, especially the Virus Blaster mode on the Gamepad using the stylus.

That's great you can play a similar mode in that DS game. Terrific option for anyone who still buys DS games I guess. In fact, I may look into buying that game for my 3DS. That would be perfect for playing this mode on the go! I don't usually buy DS games anymore, but being a rather simple game it probably looks decent enough I imagine, although the size of the screen may be an issue.

@Hyperstar96
Yeah this is all new for me. Like I said I haven't played a Dr Mario game for 15 years, maybe even longer.

Still, if someone likes the game, this is a good option for them too. I mean, new consoles are out and people are upgrading- out with the old, in with the new. So if they want to continue playing that game they like, well now they can. Usually new consoles mean they've gotta make new versions of all the popular games. It would be a shame if someone bought a Wii U and COULDN'T buy a good Dr. Mario game, ya know?

I really do feel like this game was meant to be played with a stylus. It's just so much more superior than the traditional button controls. I think that's why I never really liked the game much when I played it as a kid.

Nintendo!!!

Take my $

I'm stil waiting for SMB3 and Pokemon Bank Nintendo!

@SahashraLA Haha, I so agree with the "mindless sheep" sentiment. I know so many dudebro gamer's that just follow the herd, whatever someone else in my shop gets, they get. Unless it is me, cause I am not a "real" gamer by their standards, aka: an FPS or GTA style of game player. That's OK, they work FOR me at a 1/3 of my pay, because they choose to not advance their skills. Always better to be a leader rather than a follower.

@Kawaii_Neko Dude, chill, it's coming

@SahashraLA i agree with you. to me the vc isnt a big deal but eu constantly get sales and pramotions we do not. the 101 discount and the zela music box to name a couple. i wonder if the eu gamers ever compare their club nintendo site with ours. man they get way better stuff and many more options. im still waiting on the new layton to hit na btw

They need a 3DS version. More people have the 3DS/2DS than the WiiU.

@SahashraLA .....Well put...

@SahashraLA Waaaah waaaah waaaaah, somebody call the Wahmbulance! Sounds like you have some kind of issue with us 'ungrateful' Europeans that's causing you to write paragraphs of nonsense and conjecture.

If you focused as much time and energy on addressing your complaints to Nintendo of America instead of having a silly tantrum and posting trollbait on a UK centric independent site, then perhaps you might get some changes and better service from them.

Until then, us Europeans will just carry on playing Bravely Default, Layton and the Azran Legacy and firing up Super Mario Bros 3 on our Wii U and 3DS Virtual Consoles, and wondering what all the fuss was about

I am totally addicted to playing this game online! It's amazing and well worth the $15, especially if you're a Dr. Mario fan like me. I can't wait for Nintendo to put out more online competitive multiplayer games like this. MK8 and SSB can't come soon enough!

@JaxonH your opinion on the game twisted my arm I bought it. I feel pretty much the same way about these type of games, but it looked interesting. Plus I discovered I had a 5 dollar deluxe code that helped really seal the deal. I'm really glad I did it's awesome. I normally can't stand these type of games but its so addicting with the stylus. WELL worth the asking price which I thought was ridiculous at first. I only played virus buster so far its worth it just for that.

I think there are far more serious problems if $15 is too much......
Also, obligatory "Pills here!" reference.

@Metal_Slugger I'm glad you like it! It's strangely addictive I know. And I really didn't think I'd like it. Yeah I thought it was worth it for sure, it's such a well polished game with quite a few modes for being as simple a concept as it is. Most importantly, now I can battle my friend at work online haha

@Devilbro

Awesome name. Awesome avatar. You rock!

@JaxonH
Thanks, you too. The name came from the Deviljho being a sort of "big brother" for Qurupeco.
