    Are you serious?

    From the 'originally titled' New Super Mario Bros U to the again 'originally titled' New Super Luigi U.

    From "It's a meeeee Mariooo" to "Luigiiii baa baaaaa".

    There you have it, new game. What about at least modifying the (non-existent) storyline a bit?
    Who cares about the storyline?

    New game...another 50€ please!

    Nintendo money... cling... clang...

    As if making a "hard mode" game with a free access easy mode character and being a copy-paste of a game that's already a copy-paste of the Wii and DS versions wasn't bad enough, this game completely fails to represent its protagonist.

Ever since Luigi's mansion on GameCube, Nintendo has tried its best to show how Luigi is different from Mario: having its own stories and character intereactions, this game is the exact opposite of that. Worst Mario game I've played ever, even the educational N64 games had more of an excuse to be that bad.… Expand

    Luigi's own adventure is probably one of the largest DLC packets on the market. The whole New Super Mario U has been remixed, the difficulty level has been tuned, and the slim main character is totally different from the plump plumber. This add-on is well worth the money. [Sept 2013]

    An unexpected expansion pack for the New Super Mario Bros. U brings new levels, a new hero, more intense gameplay, and higher difficulty level. It's a shame the multiplayer game is a fail. [Issue#232]

    If you have some resistance against frustration and want a short but intensive trip into the New Super Mario Bros. Universe, you should keep that addition in mind.
