Sure-footedness and dexterity aren't necessarily attributes one would readily assign to the Mario brother garbed in green, but New Super Luigi U , an abbreviated spin-off of last year's New Super Mario Bros.

New Super Luigi U is the chance the taller brother has waited for since being relegated to "player 2" status so many years ago. Its smaller levels, restrictive time limit, and floaty physics work well as a challenge mode add-on to an already terrific game.

Same great gameplay; Interesting level remixes; Lots of challenge

Controls can frustrate; No new story/quest

Are you one of the gamers who said: "New Super Mario Bros U is too easy?" Did you want the difficulty cranked up a notch or two? or thirty? If so, Nintendo has some DLC for you - New Super Luigi U. This is an add on to New Super Mario Bros U.

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.

Faster pace; Luigi is way more fun to use than Mario; Nabbit is a cool option for series newcomers; Solid; fresh level design

Almost everything is re-used from the original game; including the bosses

The "other" brother rarely gets the respect he deserves. While Mario is off chasing the spotlight, Luigi is often content hanging back, kicking the dirt while his big brother saves the day. But this is 2013 -- the Year of Luigi -- and everything changes.

One of the common criticisms aimed at last year's New Super Mario Bros. U was that it was too easy for veterans of the platformer genre. Nintendo clearly took this complaint to heart because the game's first expansion pack, New Super Luigi U, is a challenging but highly addictive and rewarding...
