New Super Mario Bros. U

[JezMM]

I kinda hope that they're just using the old world map as a placeholder and we might get a brand new one, but if not this is still some quality looking DLC.

 

I want to say "new music please?" but let's not kid ourselves...

And lets not kid ourselves with a $20 price point either. Iwata said  they are developing it as if it were a retail game so it might pull for $40 dollars or $35 if they want to be generous.

[Autosaver]

Eh, I can see it being $29.99 due to being more of a remix.

tell that to the other NSMB sequels

[MykonosFan]

I'm going to say $15 because reasons. I have no actual reasons to back that up, I just don't want to pay more than that for it.

The other NSMB games did have actual engine tweaks though as well as of course the new art and course design and... sometimes... music.

 

 

Man even if we don't get new music how great would it be just to add a few "Luigi"-ish tracks?  Like make the overworld a NSMB-style version of Mario 2's theme, and the ghost houses a NSMB-style Luigi's Mansion theme?

I think you're assuming all these levels will be new.

 

I think it will be similar to how 3DLand does it. Hell, I bet the idea CAME from 3DLand. It'll probably be some new twists on levels, hard versions of levels, a bit of new levels, etc.

[Mangoaxe5]

Ok game, but personally I'm sick and tired of the New Super Mario Bros series. They're pretty much all the same with slight differences.

[Cortez]

The way they say 'new versions' of the levels makes me believe it'll be like 3D Land... I'll wait to hopefully be surprised though.

Let's rise this thread from its grave with this New Super Luigi Bros. U trailer from yesterday's Nintendo Direct, shall we?

 

I don't know about the rest of you guys (and gals), but I'm really digging how the gameplay's looking so far. Between Luigi's unique quirks, the stricter time limits and the significantly more challenging level designs, I'm sure we'll be in for a treat this Summer.

Absolutely. Looks like this'll be something to get me digging NSMBU out again.

[JezMM]

Really hope the game has at least a unique final boss. A showdown with King Boo would be oh so awesome.

We're probably gonna get nothing better than a Giant Dry Bowser fight, as sad as that may be

 

Though, I do kinda wish that they'd at least swap Peach out with Daisy

Footage of New Super Luigi U in action.

I think I am gonna get Luigi U on digital.

 

Anyone else?

I already own it, digitally.

 

It's a lot of fun, even if it's short. Some of the new levels are well designed and challenging enough, but the multiplayer can be even more difficult to coordinate than usual. I also thought it was really lame the way the bosses are pretty much unchanged from the original game. I know they aren't the draw, but that's just lazy and doesn't match the higher difficulty level of the regular stages. It gives the whole thing a rom-hacky feel.

 

But if you want to play as Luigi and want another 80+ (short) levels, go for it.

I already downloaded the DLC.  

 

And fuck me is it hard sometimes.  The levels want me to be quick and precise a lot of the time and Luigi's so slippery.  Anyways, a little story to tell:

 

I got to the end of the ghost ship in the Water World, there was a bunch of Boo's circling around the area right before the flag and I'm supposed to jump through them.  They expand their circle every now and then though, so I sat there for a while waiting for them to group back together in a small circle to get the timing right.

 

And they just fucking didn't.  So I figured, "I'll just wait for the small opening again and I'll jump through them and be on my merry way."

 

And I shit you not, right as a I jump forward the little assholes group back into the smaller circle and I died.

 

 

Fun stuff though.

Just so you guys know, NSLU had a cheat code where player 1 can play as Nabbit. Great for collecting 1-ups when you need them. Hold ZL and ZR as you enter the stage. I believe it's the B trigger if you're using a Wii Remote.

If SLU ever goes on sale digitally, or if I can find the retail version cheap then I'll pick it up. But as I'm pretty bored for NSMB as it is, I think I'll have to pass otherwise.

A new Japanese TV advertisement for New Super Luigi Bros. U just showed up:

Is it only me that found that ad quite disturbing? Over at the Sega Forums people are saying that it suggests that Luigi is about to sexually assault Peach...

 

Btw GIF of Luigi from the trailer..

 

[Autosaver]

 

This is disturbing.

[Milo]

So Luigi gets his own NSMBU DLC, a sequel to his own game, a pivotal role in the new M&L game, and now gets to storm Peach's castle. Whether she wants to or not.

 

Year of the Luigi indeed.

[Jolt_TH]

Is it bad that the last two lines of that paragraph sound inuendoish?

I'll probably get the hard copy, I like getting different coloured game cases

And hard copy's too (still think Nintendo should let you register your game so you could download a digital copy if you loose or have yours stolen

[Willsy]

I'm getting NSMBU this Saturday. Is there Off-TV play? If so, 40 euros well spent.
