Is New Super Luigi U Actually Good?

[@kearneykaktus]

Shorter levels were exactly the reason I enjoyed this one. Although they were harder, it only encouraged me to give them another shot rather than stressing over easier obstacles in a much larger stage.

[@GigaOtomia]

Personally, I wouldn't have minded if the levels were as long as in the other New Soups. I just want difficult Mario levels.

[@box9706]

It's like the Super mario bros 3 levels, they where hard but short.

[@sarahaugust1768]

@Abdoluigi777 luigi is L . Mario is W

[@ebiUsher]

i think that both the levels being shorter, the music being faster and luigi himself being "slippery" truly sell how naturally anxious luigi is - idk if it was on purpose, but i love it.

[@lasercraft32]

Whether intentional or not on the devs part that's such a cool analogy.

[@sohkunknown]

thought that mf being slippery was just me trippin😭

[@lwd3035]

I think the same, they adapted 2D Mario to Luigi's personality

[@KalinGames526]

The levels being harder really shows how scared Luigi feels without Mario there to guide him

shame i passed on Luigi U when it originally released bc of 2D Mario fatigue. regarding its difficulty, SMB3 levels are also short and challenging, which is why it's my favorite 2D Mario, so Luigi U does seem more up my alley in that respect

[@stop.makingsense]

My fiancé is a more strategic player and does amazing in the Mario version because he likes to take his time and get as much coins as possible before beating the level but I’m not as good as it because I use run waaay too often and usually not to my advantage haha! That’s why I love Super Luigi U, it suits my playing style the best and it doesn’t feel like a punishment, it compliments it!

[@GroveOfGraves]

He mentioned this slightly in the video, but basically every secret exit area has some type of Luigi themed art, the one in one of the snow levels is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen in a Mario game (a star constellation thing)

[@mrthorian8096]

Or the clever one where the vines create an image of the guy, I love all the love they put into it to show Luigi the well deserved love he should get more of

This video taught me so much. I had no idea this game was SO DIFFERENT from Mario U! :( Back when this game came out my Older Brother said he didn’t wanna get it since it was “exactly like Mario U but with Luigi” and looks like we were both wrong! Really hoping we get something like year of Luigi again but for different characters. *AHEM Peach and Bowser years! :D*

You can still get deluxe

[@tomvlogs8463]

The fact that they lost 500m dollars doing the Luigi year probably means that they won't be doing anything like it again, which is a shame

[@Ninjacat429]

As a Luigi fan, I only found out about this game today. I've never played this version before but I felt that having playing super Mario bros wii u was a bit too easy in some cases. I'm happy to know they bought some fresh new designs and challenges to super Luigi u. I definitely can't wait to try this game out

[@ilan_profile]

Currently finishing Luigi U, probably one of the MOST FUN I've had with the NSMB Series!!

[@sonicSnap]

was super excited to see this video in my notifications, the year of luigi has some of my favourite mario games, and this isn't an exception. id love to see more difficulty in mario games, more stuff in a similar style to this would be super cool

[@ViIvaNunner]

i love the positivity about the nsmb series; luigi u is a really cool idea imo; the theming of luigi is nice enough; but having it be a sort of harder more fast paced game is so cool the luigi eastereggs in luigi u and some future mario games are so good and i love them luigi u kinda reminds me of a mario maker level pack if it had access to the actual stuff from nsmb; which is cool - its got the theming of luigi and the low time limit and the levels focus mostly around one concept and doesnt extend it to become boring. stuff like the broozers being in a non ghost level with the stars? its like a mario maker level with something being somewhere you wouldnt ever really expect and using them well with other stuff and wwhatnot i kinda wish i could play luigi u again but my wii u broke ages ago which is sad

[@luigisilver818_7]

Mario and Luigi U were my favorite games in the New series, probably because those were the only ones I beat besides 2, and came out when I was a bit more "seasoned" with games. But something about the overworld and even the level design especially in Luigi U like you said makes these games stick out to me. Maybe when I have time I'll check out these games again.

[@5trezip23]

You speak about these games with so much passion and wonder and really, a ton of love. It's like I couldn't picture a child version of yourself playing the Mario games like I did growing up being any more excited to be doing so than you seem to honestly be here to this day. That's awesome! Thanks for the info as well.

[@luigifan1295]

Funny thing, when me and my little brother got a Wii U for Christmas back in 2013, the one that came packaged with NSMBU + NSLU, we finished NSLU but never actually completed NSMBU, and we spent a lot of time getting the star coins in Luigi U, just to try to get 100%. That was hard lol.

[@Bash_the_Bash]

The new super mario bros series is one of the only series I've completely 100%ed every game for and actually can say I've entirely finished and can make a fair judgement on, throughout your series I agreed with your takes on them, from new super mario bros DS and Wii to the new super mario bros and Luigi Us the series really is an amazing one and if they do make another one I hope it's just as innovative as some of the older ones whilst also being as challenging as new super luigi U

[@Ezel_142]

The shorter level design style reminds me a bit of SMB3, where stages were usually a bit more challenging than your usual Mario game, but it was compensated by making the levels quite short for the most part.

[@Cilvathorne]

11:43 Honestly, I think nintendo shouldn't make 2D Mario games as difficult as New Super Luigi U. Instead, they should handle it exactly how they did with New Super Mario/Luigi U: make 2 versions of the game, one with Luigi as the protagonist with harder gameplay, and one with Mario as the protagonist with easier levels.

[@HamishSteele]

Wild! I guess nintendo didn’t do a good enough job of explaining they were all new levels at the time because I skipped this assuming the only difference was like more enemies or something. Gonna check this out now!

[@andrecidueye1701]

Just seeing this on my home makes me want to get my wii u out. I remember enjoying the Mario part, but the time element of New Super Luigi U just made it sooooo good, it's like you have to learn a speedrun strat every time if you want to get all stars in a level

[@joebrown8089]

Regarding the difficulty of New Super Mario Bros Wii, say-I believe the difficulty of the game was sufficiently challenging *when it came out.* It's getting on now since NSMBW (and WiiU) was released, and in that time, several players (including myself) have become more much more experienced with the games, especially since the release of MM2. It's why many players are probably baffled by how easy NSMBW seems when looking back to it. It's been 14 years since NSMBW was released. Me as a 9 year-old kid playing Mario isn't the same me playing that game back now. Awesome vid, btw 😄

[@twikki9071]

Excellent DLC, excellent game! My only grudge would be the bosses. If they give you a time bonus for reaching them, at least they could’ve made them harder or add some sort of surprise mechanic that may throw the players off. Certainly the most fun I’ve had with a “Mario” game in a while :]

[@WoyaThePug]

If more Mario games all came with an optional version like this, it would in my opinion be a great way to make them more accessible to both casual players as well as people who want something more fresh. However, luigi U is a lot more than a simple hard mode, so it would likely take far more development time to make both versions in one package before launch.

[@playbossthebest936]

NSMBU+NSLU, the combo pack you could get alongside the Wii-U at the time, is the best NSMB game overall. Don't @ me

[@zojirushi1]

[@ct2xperience749]

[@Xaddre]

Definitely the most underrated new super ____ bros game out there

[@YellowScar2014]

I honestly want each NSMB game to have a Luigi campaign attached to it. Like, have Mario be the easy one that serves as an introduction for kids who are new to both the Mario formula and platforming in general. Have Luigi stand on the sidelines to give a more challenging experience for veterans of the series and those who mastered the Mario side. Maybe throw in a Nabbit campaign that ramps up the difficulty even more, namely by removing his immunity to enemies. Like a Kaizo level, relying only on your base moveset. Who knows, maybe they can throw in a Wario campaign that takes the gameplay of Mario Land 3 - Wario Land 1. With a slower gameplay loop that's more focused on exploration, and a moveset that emphasizes horizontal power rather than vertical mobility. And they can bring back the power ups from that one for this, but have the flamethorwer hat spit fireballs instead of the unruly stream we got in the first game. TDLR: Have Mario stay easy for the new kids, have Luigi be challenging for the old timers, Nabbit for those who mastered both, and Wario to test the waters for bringing that series back.

[@ohmeohmicah]

I imagine that, personality-wise, it would probably be more fitting that Mario has the more difficult levels while Luigi has the easier ones. Not for any objective reason, but because I imagine Luigi would _absolutely_ prefer simply having to go through a much easier path while Mario would have no qualms going through hell and back just to rescue someone who's gonna get kidnapped within the next 5 minutes

[@YellowScar2014]

@@ohmeohmicah True, but Mario's the easily marketable one and draws in the casuals. Meanwhile, Luigi doesn't have this issue and is far easier to use as the "harder campaign" guy because of it. Edit; I can also imagine the difference in difficulty coming from the games being the stories told by Mario and Luigi, and Luigi just exaggerating how scary the stages were since he's not as brave.

[@billloney2567]

[@lasercraft32]

It makes me indescribably sad that Nintendo lost so much money during the year of Luigi... they took a step away from their golden child Mario to give our favorite brother Luigi some time in the spotlight but it ended up not being a success. After a mistake like that they'll likely never ever try a risk like that again. :( Which is a darn shame because New Super Luigi U is such a unique and interesting take on the series, and proves just how capable Green Stache can be, given all the levels are more difficult and challenging than Mario's levels. I think ultimately the problem is at first glance it looks like just New Super Mario Bros. U but with Luigi instead of Mario... which doesn't really encourage good sales. :/

[@etiennelemieux472]

Ah ah I came into the comments to give my opinion and suggest you give your opinion on mario 3d land and I see you did it ^^ next video enqueued :) I remembered that I had liked luigi U but couldn't say why. The low level of difficulty of recent mario games is a problem and I think that, and the diversity of situations, are the reasons I liked it more than the other similar mario games. This is what I liked in mario 3d land too (along with the gorgeous 3d).

[@somerguy3527]

I think having an a-side, where it’s the regular story and normal Mario levels, and a b-side, able to be used after the final boss (or by some other fashion) would be a great formula, great for both causal and tryhard players.

[@mhvo3279]

I just went through the both. As I have first started with Mario it was a little bit difficult to control the jumps and distance with Luigi because jumps are higher but slower. The advantage of Luigi is it’s shorter but there’s no middle point, that you have to start from the beginning again if you fail at the last moment. It’s sometimes a bit frustrating.
