This is some new downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. U. The game’s world map stays the same, but all the stages are completely redone to complement Luigi’s unique moveset. First, it’s important to note that Luigi jumps higher and farther than Mario. Also, it takes him longer to slow down after running, causing him to slide a bit. The levels are designed with these strengths and weaknesses in mind. As for course lengths, they are all only 100 seconds. Although levels are significantly shorter, obstacles are more concentrated, making for a steeper challenge.
New Super Luigi U is coming to NSMBU this summer via DLC. -Greg Boe (admin)
New Super Mario Bros. U (Released during the Wii U launch) has only been out for about a month now, but that hasn’t stopped IGN from awarding it with the esteemed honor of the “Platformer of the Year Award”. The game was up against titles such as Fez, Rayman Jungle Run, Sound Shapes, and Spelunky. IGN praised the game. Saying that it contains brutally twisted bite-sized challenge stages and some of the most insanely creative level design ever seen in the series. This is great news, since it means the Wii U has gotten off to a great start! -Adam Keene

Just like their similarity in gameplay, almost every Super Mario title ever has a near identical plot. Most of the games start off w/ Princess Peach getting captured by Bowser, and Mario setting off on an adventure to get the girl and return peach to the peaceful land known as the Mushroom Kingdom. Yeah, I guess I didn’t have to explain that for you, since anyone clever enough to even find our little site probably already knows about Super Mario :) …And now to the real subject. In a quest to save the princess, it makes sense to me that you can’t play as said princess. Still, a lot of Nintendo fans are inquiring why Princess Peach isn’t a playable character in New Super Mario Bros. U on Wii U. Well, Nintendo’s Masataka Takemoto has a response to your question, and we have included it below. -Greg Boe (admin)
“In Super Mario Bros 2, Princess Peach had her own unique moves and animation. In this series, we want all the players to have the same moves and animations as Mario, and Princess Peach isn’t suited for that.” -Masataka Takemoto

DLC is gonna be huge on Wii U, and Nintendo has recently announced that New Super Mario Bros. U is getting some soon. Here’s what Nintendo’s Satoru Iwata had to say:
“We’re trying to think of ways of play that are different from New Super Mario Bros. 2, but we haven’t made anything yet! The mechanism for adding courses is already there, so please stand by for an update on what they’ll be like.”
So It looks like it will be a month or two until DLC hits NSMBU, but it will definitely be worth the wait. -Greg Boe (admin)

Want some more Mario this year? Well, there are still two more Mario titles hitting Nintendo systems this year–Paper Mario: Sticker Star and New Super Mario Bros. U. We have a short video of gameplay footage from New Super Mario Bros. U for you viewers today. This stage is called Starry Night, and is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night (cool, huh?). The video is fairly short, but there’s still some cool gameplay featured. What do you think of Starry Night? -Greg Boe (admin)
