Luigi's Reaction to Getting a Year Dedicated to Him. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3eNHXANFwk) (Can anyone tell me how to embed youtube videos in posts? It gliches up on me for whatever reason)

So let's talk about the lean, green plumber Luigi.

Along with Mario and Yoshi, I always main him in every game he's playable in, whether it's Mario Kart, Mario Party, or Smash Bros. There's also times in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World that I would kill off Mario just so I could play through the game as Luigi. I also practically used him for the whole game in New Super Mario Bros. DS.

Well, about time Luigi has a whole year dedicated to him.

Luigi is and forever will be my favorite Nintendo character, Luigi's Mansion was the ONLY reason I wanted a Gamecube and his newest 3DS title was why I wanted a 3DS. I am happy to hear that there will be more Luigi.

[Madame Adequate]

You wanted Luigi?

TOO BAD!

So they're going to retexture some games? Sweet.

Luigi should have been the main character anyway. He is the best brother.

I hope this doesn't count as necro-ing the thread, but since a one month break sounds too short to make a new thread, I'll just post it here.

Shigeru Miyamoto (the man who created many Nintendo franchises and characters including Mario, Donkey Kong, Zelda, F-Zero, Star Fox, and Pikmin) went to New York to visit some fellow Nintendo staff and fans to celebrate the Year of Luigi. The Miiverse also has a new community dedicated to celebrating the Year of Luigi.

Miyamoto is amazing.

That's actually pretty damn adorable.

I've been walking around work with my Luigi hat going "Waaah" for wa-Luigi cause it cracks me up. When I wear my mustache i can't help but talk with a bad Italian accent.

I love Luigi and I always preferred playing as him over that fat chunker Mario.

[Flaming Ice]

Peach and Toad never had their year yet :eep:



Where's Super Toad series?


Does this mean daisy's going to come too.....at least she doesn't have affairs like mario's girl.
