Want to Know What's Different in New Super Luigi U?

They've all been redesigned. World map is the same, but the actual levels are different.

I don't really get the love I'm seeing for this. Looking like the same game... same content even for the most part... being resold for 20 bucks. Maybe the value is in the "redesigned" levels.

Don't be so cynical, and don't discount it just because it isn't for you.

I don't get the hate. Luigi is a tougher character to use on new tougher levels, and Nabbit is an easy mode character so that your kids can play along with you.

This game isn't for little kids - it's for everyone. Just like Little Big Planet or Viva Pinata.

Seems cool. I really liked NSMBU, best 2D Mario game since 'World' IMO.

is this canon?

@zmilla: Seems like they're relying on 3rd party for that (ex: Wonderful 101) IMO, as long as they can maintain a steady stream of exclusive 3rd party titles that are of that same level of quality, I'm ok with Nintendo doing stuff like Windwaker HD, mario, new zelda, Smash, etc...

@triviaman09: well, from a gameplay perspective it's a difference, for people that enjoy the platform genre. They look at that and see what they'll be able to pull off.

The levels are all redesigned to be more challenging and use Luigi. For $20, it's actually pretty good value.

It's amazing to me that people are really getting apoplectic and angry about "LAZY FUCKING NINTENDO, SO TYPICAL" over a $20 standalone expansion pack that's almost as long as the entirety of New Super Mario Bros. U, but that's the Internet for you I guess.

Can't tell if Nintendo is trying to be funny and self-aware in pointing out that the only differences between Luigi and Mario are slightly longer jumps and slides. I'm not sure if I care, either.

The 100 second time limit seems a bit arbitrary.

So it's like The Lost Levels

WOP WOP

wop WOP wop

No thanks Nintendo.

Nintendo's idea of innovation is.. "he jumps further!" I'll never understand how Nintendo fans don't get tired of paying for the same few games over and over again with only slight differences and a title change. It's not like these games at least have unique stories in each new version, there's no real story to speak of, just different levels and 1 or 2 minor mechanic changes. Yea, on their own the games are pretty decent in terms of gameplay and what not.. but it gets old after a while. Whatever floats your boat I guess. Nintendo will be dead as a console developer soon if 3rd party developers continue to ditch them and they keep releases the same tired stuff over and over again.

The Year of Luigi continues.

Online play? What is this sorcery you are speaking of?

I feel like they are turning Luigi into Tails, a character far more powerful than the "actual" protagonist and yet infinitely less popular...
Also I want to hear Iwata say "Nabbit" over and over again

Avoid the Nabbit. He ruins pizzas.

Can't Nintendo give us something truly new even once?

I think I'm having that moment with Nintendo that I had with Star Wars a few years back where I realised that I'm no longer the target audience.

Then again, maybe I'm just assuming this trailer is for 5 year olds and the truth is actually a lot more depressing.

Would have been all over a Wii U on day one if NSMBU had online play, but Nintendo is still acting like it's the 1990s.

Imma Luigi!

Seriously though, I wish I could buy a Nintendo product again, but they just seem so irrelevant it isn't worth me considering spending money.

bop bop

Every single stage in the game has been completely redesigned. That means same world map, but all 86 or so stages are completely different, which includes castles and bosses. Amazing value from $20.

You gotta be fuckin' kidding...differences?

Are the levels actually new?

Looks amazing. Love luigi

Green is the new... Red?
