New Super Luigi U Message Board older than one year ago

This Time, It’s All About Luigi.

Celebrate the Year of Luigi as the green-hatted hero takes center stage in his first starring role in a platform adventure. Players can show off their skills as Luigi, complete with his trademark high jump and unique slide, as they experience more than 80 new courses set in the world of New Super Mario Bros. U.

Features:

New Super Luigi U will be released as downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. U in the Nintendo eShop on June 20 for $19.99. But in honor of the Year of Luigi, Nintendo is also offering a standalone packaged version of New Super Luigi U that doesn’t require New Super Mario Bros. U on Aug. 25 at a suggested retail price of $29.99.

Experience high replayability and satisfaction from mastering more than 80 intense new courses. Each course begins with only 100 seconds on the clock and contains a higher concentration of enemies and obstacles.

Up to five players* can jump into the fun, with Nabbit taking the place of Mario as a playable character. Nabbit cannot use power-ups, but is invincible to enemies and obstacles, making him an ideal choice for novice players.

Share triumphs with the community via the Miiverse feature.**

Play using a Wii Remote controller, the Wii U GamePad controller or a Wii U Pro Controller.

Nintendo's Luigi-centric remake of New Super Marios Bros. is hitting the Wii U in two varieties this summer. Owners of the original game can download New Super Luigi U for $19.99, while folks that may have say, traded in their original copy already, can purchase the game as a standalone product for $29.99 on August 25. During today's Nintendo Direct it was also revealed that that annoying bastard Nabbit from the original release would be filling Mario's shoes as the fourth playable multiplayer character in the game. He can't power-up, but he also doesn't take damage from enemies, so yeah — there'll be plenty of fighting over him.
