Topic: New Super Luigi U

Gonna wait to see the length of this game... even at 19.99 that is a lot for dlc.

@Dev: The case has collector's item written all over it. Even if that game is around after this year, that Year of Luigi seal on the case for 2013 is so worth it.

I'm a little disappointed that player 2 has the choice of a Toad or invincible Nabbit. I know its not a big deal really and I would play as Nabbit but the invincibility is a turn off and Toad is just played out.

Getting this Retail

I think I will get the retail version of the game. Dat boxart.

The box is freaking lovely!!

i'm buying the physical just for the box,

Gonna have to buy the box. Really was the biggest surprise of Nintendo direct.

At such cheap prices for practically full-length games. I will buy both cause the crazy collector within me demands it.

What do yall think about the idea of being nabbitt id rather be wario or waluigi personally

$20 is expensive for what's essentially just a bunch of remixed levels with very slightly altered player mechanics. It recycles all the old assets. It really just doesn't seem worth it at that price.

it's all new levels, not remixed levels. maybe you should get your facts straight first.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but doesn't the addition of Nabbit and, hell, multiplayer in general kind of take away the focus on Luigi that they've been emphasising for so long? Especially since they all appear to share his newly regained physics. And from what I can tell, the levels really don't seem all that adapted for multiplayer at all.

I'm kind of torn on NSLU. On one hand the actual gameplay looks pretty solid and definitely more of a challenge than anything that's come from the NSMB series thus far. But I also feel Nintendo are missing an opportunity here; they really could have went all out and made this a real love letter to Luigi fans. It could have opened with Mario and co getting kidnapped along with Peach, leaving Luigi the only one left that's able to save them. And it would have been a nice touch to have him react differently during cutscenes or something...

But I digress; it's not like the NSMB series has never really been known for anything outside its core gameplay.

Well, I've yet to get a Wii U, and hence don't have NSMBU (my friend does) but I'll still be getting this for sure. It's a limited edition thing so the box would make a great collector's item, I'm guessing.

I think they only do midnight releases when the retail version is releasing on the same day, so I'm guessing probably not.

Nah, I'm going for the retail version next month Can't wait for the Pro Controller update though! F I N A L L Y!

I'm very tempted to buy NSMBU and download this (I previously rented NSMBU) but I've had the retail version pre-ordered for a while now and I think I'll cope with the wait.

I'm STILL confused as to whether or not the game has brand new levels or re-mixed levels. I've heard people say both.

All of the levels are brand new. it also has Nabbit playable, and Luigi has his unique abilities that he did in Lost Levels, Galaxy and 3D Land. Also, each level now has a 100 second time limit.
Actually, now I'm not too sure. The Mario Wiki refers to the levels both as "new" and given a "drastic makeover".

I'm pretty sure that the levels in NSLU follow the same themes as NSMBU, but are completely redesigned with a few new graphical changes like hidden Luigis.
