@darkest4:

agreed. I'm pretty much done with it at this point. Nothing that Nintendo revealed this year so far excites me in the least.

Let's just end this and have Mario and Luigi face off in a dunk contest.

Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam

Come on and slam, if you wanna jam

@darkest4: I guess you don't understand the millions of people playing Fifa and Madden all around the globe either.

People get this pissy over $20 DLC with a full game's worth of content? Really?

Just about everyone in the games media talks about the great loyalty of the Nintendo fan base. But I never really had a great sense of what they meant until now. Holy shit, you people get pissed and defensive easily.

Can you blame them? Look at how many people took the time to come in here and shit on a perfectly competent game they'll never play.

Q.E.D.

I think I'm having that moment with Nintendo that I had with My Little Pony 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.

I missed out on the Metroid Prime Collection, so I don't think I will miss out on this one. NSMBU was probably the best multiplayer experience I've had so far this year. Selling it as an old school expansion pack with an old school price is not too shabby either.

The funny part about this is that it implies Luigi has the better skills.

Between the "what's different" messaging and the logo, I can't tell if they're being self aware and know how ridiculous and, quite frankly, pathetic this is, or if they're completely serious. Knowing Nintendo, it's probably the latter.

What are you even talking about? It's DLC. They kept the same world layout and changed all 80 of the levels, a pretty significant change in a platforming game. Please explain to me what is pathetic about that.

It's hardcore-mode DLC. The only reason it's getting a disk release is 8-year-olds don't have credit cards.

Still, the difficulty looks good. Slipperier, shorter time limit, crazy-looking levels. Plus the Nabbit mode for your non-gamer co-star.

Really, the "Luigi Mansion" was a bit of a misstep, Galaxy returned to the trend set in Lost Levels: Luigi is the Hard Mode Mario. So this game? This is Hard Mode NSMB.

Someone should sneak into the CBSi offices and make this music Jeff's ringtone.

I also can't believe people are calling this pathetic, and if they are they must think it's just a character addition. The levels are all completely new and made more difficult. This is Nintendo's love letter to anyone who felt that NSMBU was too easy for the most part. Please stop shitting all over it and go waste your hate somewhere else

I'll pick this up as soon as I get around to beating NSMBU.

Would have been extra great if they changed the shitty music - now it's just great.

I love Nabbit. I want a Nabbit game. I don't own a Wii U and I'm not into NSMB, but Nabbit makes me happy.

Luigi's Mansion is fantastic. I think Luigi can be more than just your Hard Mode Mario.

It's the Giant Bomb community. People would get pissy if it was free. People here are rarely happy about anything it seems.

'Available only in 2013' seems to imply a limited physical release? Also the 'bop bop' needs to stop.

Well anyone craving more Mario platformers gets their wish for 20 bucks. Seems pretty chill to me. I enjoyed the first one and if I get a little spare cash this seems like an alright deal. Of course more difference would have been accepted but I guess they have redone all of the levels.

The amount of content being offered here is more than you can say for most DLC for the same price. Some of the comments I'm reading is just mind-boggling.

I know almost everyone is sick of New Super Mario Bros, but this DLC along with the main game will be purchased at the same time as a WiiU for me. That time is eventually haha

@rekt_hed: Mario and Lugi Bowsers inside story, is pretty rad. That series hasnt lost it's charm imo.
