The year of Luigi continues with the upcoming release of New Super Luigi U,
the Mario-shunning rendition of New Super Mario Bros U - this title will feature
over 80 levels based on remixed versions of those from the original game. The
digital download version of New Super Luigi U will be available 19th of June in
the Japan, 20th of June in Australia and the USA and finally on the 21st of June
in Europe and will be downloadable in the Wii U e-Shop. We will be starting a section to cover further information on this title very
shortly. For now you can check out the below YouTube videos which will give you
a little something to get your teeth into while you wait for release. New Super Luigi U gameplay
overview and features Nintendo talk us through some of the
features of New Super Luigi U including the addition of Nabbit as a playable
character in multiplayer mode, interestingly Nabbits special traits are that
regardless of what items he collects, he cannot power up, BUT he also cannot be
hurt by touching enemies (I guess that's why he is only going to be available in
multiplayer, as that would not make for exciting single player if you could
barely lose). Also playable are Blue and Yellow Toad. Mario in New Super Mario Bros U
vs. Luigi in New Super Luigi U comparison The above trailer is in Japanese, but the short story of the trailers purpose
is that it compares the gameplay physics of Mario in New Super Mario Bros, and
Luigi in New Super Luigi U. You can pre-order the retail copy of
New Super Luigi U (Nintendo Wii U)
The main difference being that Luigi can jump higher and run faster than his
brother, but he is also a bit tougher to control in the sense that he takes
longer to stop - risking horrific plunges to his demise at every turn, but
certainly adding a new element to the gameplay.

Super Mario Bros. 2 to hit the Wii U Virtual Console this week
- Details
- Written by Luke
Players have another oppurtunity to make sure Wart is getting his five a day! Nintendo recently announced that Super Mario Bros 2 is coming to the Virtual console service for North American Wii U users on 16/05/2013.
By Super Mario Bros. 2 of course, I mean the one we got in the West which was the remake of the lesser known Japanese title Doki Doki Panic with Mario characters in (a great game none the less) because Nintendo Japan considered their version of SMB2 a bit tough for us ;-)
The launch cost of the game will be 4.99 USD - less than Super Mario World
which was the first oldschool Mario title to hit the virtual console for Wii U
at 7.99 USD.
