Any Nintendo fan knows that 2013 is the "Year of Luigi", and to continue the celebration of the green-hatted plumber New Super Mario Bros. U has been transformed into New Super Luigi U.  This is not a new game per se, but it is a transformation of Mario Bros.

An amazng game. With the "caco gazapo" plus. If you or your friend/girlfiend is a noob, this character could make easy and more funny yours afternoons.

Should not buy for a child as it is much too difficult which as a Mario spinoff I feel is wrong. My nine year old son could not get past level 3 so it is a complete waste of money where as Mario gives you 600 seconds to complete, Luigi gives you 100 seconds.

Known as New Super Luigi U , the collection shares the same overworld as the original but introduces new level designs and a strict 100 second time limit. It's a lot faster and demands expert precision and patience from the outset, but can these additional levels bring something new to the already...

If your children have an older brother or sister, then this might be worth your time, if not....it can be very tricky, so I would suggest they start with New Super Mario Bros U instead.

Even for a seasoned gamer this is difficult, and its intended for kids... Since the timer runs out at the very beginning, you have no indication of when you will run out, enemies seem in an over abundance and items seem scarce.

We love an underdog here at Dealspwn.com, so a Wii U game starring Luigi ought to be a double whammy worth patting on the head while making reassuring noises. Available both as an eShop download and a brand new retail edition, New Super Luigi U is billed as a DLC pack for New Super Mario Bros.

81 levels totally rebuilt for a tougher challenge with tight time limits; Satisfyingly brutal difficulty curve; Very tempting for game-complete New Super Mario Bros.

Limited lives and long downtime/iteration time between attempts are totally inappropriate; Often cheap and frustrating (since Luigi handles like a newborn deer on rollerskates; Recycled art assets; story; bosses; cutscenes and world map

It's time to go on an adventure with the lanky Nintendo icon. Thirty years after his first appearance Luigi finally gets his well earned time in the limelight as Mario relaxes his busy schedule. New Super Luigi U is a DLC expansion for New Super Mario Bros. U, that's getting a retail release.

Nintendo has nicknamed 2013 "The Year of Luigi." The brother in green will finally have his time in the spotlight now with Mario sitting out for the new release of New Super Luigi U . The new release is currently available as downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros.

As I sit down to write this review, Dave – the channel, not "my mate" – is on behind me. The TV is turned down, so I am not sure what is on, but I can be as-close-as-makes-no-difference sure it was a show I really loved when it first aired on the BBC.
