year. One such game was released today -- the New Super Luigi U DLC for the Nintendo Wii U. New Super Luigi U offers over 80 new levels to enjoy with similar gameplay and the same World Map as New Super Mario Bros. U. The new stages provide greater difficulty than those in New Super Mario Bros. U, and feature Luigi as the main playable character -- not Mario. When playing in single-player mode, Luigi not only has to contend with the usual Super Mario Bros. enemies, but also has the task of catching the infamous Nabbit, who is happily stealing items from Toad houses. When played in multi-player mode, Nabbit has invisibility against enemies and serves as an assistant to Luigi in the various levels. New Super Luigi U can be played with the Wii U Gamepad, Wii Remote or Wii U Pro Controller.
New Super Luigi U can be downloaded from the Nintendo Wii U eShop starting today for a pricing of $19.99 if you currently own New Super Mario Bros. U. The title screen at the bottom right of New Super Mario Brothers U needs to be version 1.3.0, so if it is not, you will need to launch the game to update it before you can download the New Super Luigi U DLC. If you don't have New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendo has announced that a separate stand-alone version of New Super Luigi U can be purchased starting in August for $29.99.
We already purchased the downloadable content version of New Super Luigi U today, but will probably end up getting the physical copy as well -- just gotta have the game case and box art!
