"New Super Luigi U" is downloadable content for "New Super Mario Bros. U", staring Luigi rather than Mario. Two months after its first appearance in the Nintendo eShop, priced at $19.99, Nintendo has released the game as a retail boxed version at $29.99, ten dollars more. The DLC version requires you to have the "New Super Mario Bros. U" disk in the Wii U to play this extra content. Obviously, the boxed version can be played as a stand-alone title.Please note: Mario does not appear at all as a playable character. After beating the game, you can play as Luigi using the standard physics of his brother.To put it kindly, the Wii U has had a rough first year. The sales have simply not been there,and Nintendo is fighting tooth and nail to get the install base up for their new machine. One of the key factors has been lack of software titles. Nintendo skipped the full blown dog and pony show of E3, instead issuing a Nintendo Direct (an online presentation of the new software titles that the company was launching). In April 2013, we first learned about "New Super Luigi U", a full blown game starring Luigi. To say we were surprised due to "New Super Mario Bros. U" had jut launched November 2012 is putting it lightly.However, this isn't the whole story. "New Super Luigi U" straddles the fence between a "brand new game" and an extensive "downloadable content" addition to an already existing game. I personally believe we have gotten a retail version of "NSLU" for a two fold purpose: this DLC is long enough to merit a stand-alone release, and, much more importantly, acts as a stop-gap release in preparation for the all important Christmas season for the admittedly very slim library of Wii U games that have been available in its first year.While Nintendo has first issued DLC for the 3DS "New Super Mario Bros. 2" title, this content was largely confined to brief level packs. With "New Super Luigi U", which has been available as a digital download since July, is completely unprecedented in Nintendo's (admittedly very brief) history of DLC: far from being brief level editions, this game is a whole new compaign staring Luigi, perfectly in key for Nintendo's Year of Luigi which is what they have dubbed 2013.For new purchasers, let's define what this game is specifically.WHAT IT IS: A four player game, starring Luigi, two Toads, and Nabbit. Nabbit is invincible and impervious too any damage and cannot take power ups. The game features the exact same world map as "New Super Mario Bros U"; however, all the levels have been reworked and almost all of them start with only 99 seconds. Luigi's physics have been reworked, making him floaty in terms of his jumping and very loose, slippy traction. Due to the time limit, you have to move quickly through the levels. While four players, the levels here are claustraphobic in nature with more than two players, because of how quickly you must beat them (especially for levels where ground is at a premium). While four player mode has been chaotic in the Wii and Wii U "New Super Mario Bros." games, it is even more frustratingly difficult in "NSLU" due to short level times and the deeply increased challenge of the levels in comparison to the other two Mario games.WHAT IT IS NOT: a full-fledged, brand new game staring Luigi.. People are comparing this too "Super Mario Bros 2: The Lost Levels" and the original "Super Mario Bros.". This analogy simply does not hold water. While "The Lost Levels" was little more than a mission pack sequel to the original; this title does not feel or play like a true sequel to "New Super Mario Bros. U", largely due to the brief running times of the levels (99 seconds) and the fact that, although the game has been released as a stand-alone title, this is first and foremost DLC (granted, very expansive DLC, the likes of which we have never seen from Nintendo). Also, given the identical world map, the game plays simply like a reimagined campaign mode for the first game. What also should be noted is this game, unlike "NSMBU", contains no extra modes and features only the 82 levels of the world map as playable content.Likewise, the price point of this first party Wii U game (29.99 instead of the usual 50-60 dollar range) tells us "New Super Luigi U" is not on the same playing field as Nintendo's other first-party titles. Mario games are famous for keeping their MRSP (or close too it) for years after their initial release, especially Mario titles. "Super Mario Galaxy" and "The Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess" did not become noticeably cheaper until the red-cased "Nintendo Choice" games of 2011-2013, four to five years after the release of these games.Another thing to be noted is challenge. The game's difficulty ramps up from the very beginning, and it is clear even in the opening levels that the developers are designing this content for more experienced players. Such unrelenting difficulty (spread throughout the entire duration of the game's playing time) has not been seen since "Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels". Mario, obviously, is Nintendo's bread and butter, and while the Mario games can be challenging, over all they are widely accessible to players of all skill levels. Such skill level required, consistently maintained at such a high mark throughout the entire duration of the game's worlds, would simply never be considered by Nintendo on a mainstream Mario game, as that would drive away many potential customers and would somewhat hamper the impeccable Mairo brand.Like Greenland as the largest island in the world (but not a continent), "New Super Luigi U." blurs that perhaps hard to define level between new game and simple DLC. For reasons already outlined, Nintendo has released this has a stand-alone title, but buyers should be aware that this game will not have the same amount of hours as its parent title, due to the intentionally brief, speed running design of the levels.For those expecting a full-fledged sequel to "New Super Mario Bros U." will find this disappointing to some degree. For those who go into the game expecting a brief, fun excursion as an extra campaign mode to an already existing title, they will find a lot to enjoy about the game. Just be aware the game is extremely challenging, and due to that increased challenge, the first "New Super Mario Bros U" game will be better if you are looking for four person multiplayer, or, better yet, wait for "Super Mario 3D World", which will feature four person multiplayer in a 3D Mario game for the first time ever!

If you've already played New Super Mario Bros U then you probably wont find anything new in this game, but if you haven't and if you're looking for a Mario game that's a little more challenging then this is probably the better choice.The levels are a little shorter and you only have 100 seconds to clear each level but don't let it discourage you. When considering how more challenging they are they are just the right length.In multiplayer mode you can play as a new character called "Nabbit", with Nabbit you cannot die from enemies although you can still die when falling into pits and gaps. This character makes it easier for a younger or much more less experienced gamer to join in without ruining it for the other players.You can use your old Wii motes, your game pad and classic pro controllers to play multiplayer, so you wont need more gamepdas or anything. Up to 5 players they say! Maybe even mum and dad could have a go?Overall the game looks nice, clear and colourful graphics. What you'd expect from a Nintendo game. Controls are good, but remember that Luigi is supposed to be slippery compared to his brother Mario. Obviously though, the other characters in multiplayer wont be as slippery. What's better about Luigi is that he can jump higher. ( You can reach the top of that flag pole without much effort! )Remember if you already own New Super Mario Bros U you can go right a head and download this game as an add-on from the eShop at cheaper price. ( Digitally. ) You buy this retail ver if you DON'T own the previous game and only want this one!

First of all, I'm 29 years old and enjoy the game very much.....However, this one isn't for the younger children, it's far too challenging, so anyone new to gaming will probably struggle a fair bit, so maybeopt for New Super Mario Bros U instead? Unless your child is a pretty good gamer, then by all means go for it.Having said that, my seven year old son is loving it, he can finish several levels, but still finds it extremely frustrating, so every so oftenwe go back to New Super Mario Bros U.This is like 'The lost levels' for a new generation, fun, very challenging, frustrating at times, but overall a quality addition to the Mario franchise.Oh, and you only get 100 seconds per level,(you get an additional minute for boss fights), this really put me off at first, but I've soon adapted, and it makes the experience so much more tense.

For me, I love games very much, and lately I felt games like Mario have been considered more easygoing even for the veteran players in the newer days.So when I heard his brother Luigi was taking over one of Marios games and turning it hard, I thought this is a game for me, and I was so right!Its challenging but fun, and I bought what I asked for and I kind of laugh of the silly comments of the rage-quitters of the other players, as well as I try to time my moves throughout the stages. After all practicing makes perfection!I would Say this game is meant for those who loves challenging platform games, and want a colorful world with humor. at least your younger brother or sister can join the fun as Nabbit whom cannot die with normal means.But still...This game is not for everyone~

When I first saw a wallpaper of this game, I thought it was fand made game till I've watched Nintendo Direct, I was amazed how they made it, if you think New Super Mario Bros.U was challenging, oh you haven't seen the true challenge yet, you have 100 seconds to reach the goal this time, and you have to be quick so no time to fool around, I downloaed the expansion early this month and took me 1 week to beat this game, I am really amazed with this DLC, I hope Nintendo makes more of them, like having Wario playable or DK playable will be an ULTIMATE BLAST, I will rate this DLC 5/5, AMAZING WORK NINTENDO...\ (^0^) /

This game, while a carbon 'copy' of the mechanics of New Super Mario Bros. U (NSMBU) is a different beast to the Mario game all together. Yes you are on the same map, yes the courses have the same themes, but that's pretty much all there is.Each course only gives you 100 seconds, making the game more of an immediate challange (less time to make mistakes!) and the courses have been re-designed so they're more of a challange to players. I wouldn't recomend this to the faint of heart. But if you're up for a super challange then look no further.

27.7.2013

New Super Luigi U is the second half of New Super Mario Bros U only in this Game all the Levels and everything in it has been updated and bumbed up to a higher level,so getting to secret exits might be a little bit harder than before but with these 2 parts in my collection i now have the full game New Super Mario Bros U + New Super Luigi U = Full Game

my son is extremely happy with this product, it is everything and more than he expected, the delivery was supposed to come as he was going back to school, but came much earlier in the school hols than we were expecting which gave him time to play and me some peace and quiet, packaged and priced very well, would highly recommend this seller

11.12.2013

i recommend this game if you want to have fun with more friends.it is super cool, it is like super mario bros, but with luigi as a main character and a new character that almost never dies :D and also new worlds, new minigames, new hidden levels that you discover when you find the Secret Exits :D i already finished it with my friends

6.7.2014

Well its just like the other Mario game on the Wii u , You can't fault it but Its basically the same thing with less time for the levels in the other version it was 90 seconds if I can recall correctly and in this one its 60 , I'd recommend you invest in another game but if your a die hard fan then go ahead

8.8.2013

This product is just the thing for me as i just got a Wii U and other game, the posting was very fast and the product is in very good condition. If i had to recomend this to someone it would be mario fans or anyone because anyone can pick up and play it. though it is more challenging than mario bros u

11.1.2014

Nintendo hard! Essentially the same but reworked levels from super mario bros u - Luigi is much different to Mario to control which takes getting used to. Only get this if you want a challenge. There are no new bosses or storyline. Peach yells Luigi instead of Mario

27.7.2013

It's interesting that the 'New Super Mario Bros' franchise remains such an important asset to Nintendo, for the titles dip into nostalgia for older players and yet provide a different kind of thinking those who have grown up playing 3D games. This sweet spot is why

18.5.2014

Santa bought this for my kids (aged 7 and 4) for Christmas. They have played loads since then and have still to finish the whole game. Looks similar to new super mario bros! So if you like that you will like this, but if you are good you may get bored quickly.

15.2.2014
