Nintendo’s Big DLC Expansion, New Super Luigi U Out Today, What’s Different?

June 20, 2013

Throughout the Year of Luigi, Nintendo has celebrated the other brother with his own games, but New Super Luigi U breaks new ground for the company as extensive downloadable content. Nintendo's latest trailer breaks down Luigi's slightly altered handling.

While 3DS titles like Fire Emblem: Awakening and New Super Mario Bros. 2 have gotten extensive DLC packs on the company's handheld device, this is the first major home console expansion (that I can think of… If I'm totally wrong, just let me know in the comments and I'll edit your intelligence into this post).

I know Anthony is growing his own mustache and learning to flutter in mid-air for this special occasion, but Wii U owners without NSMBU can wait until August 25th (in the US) and July 26th (in Europe) when the retail version of New Super Luigi U hits store shelves. That physical disc is only available in 2013, so it might turn out to be quite the collector's item.

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
