To celebrate the Year of Luigi, Nintendo has launched a trio of new communities on Miiverse. Wii U owners can partake in discussions through the official Year of Luigi community and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon board – the first 3DS title to receive its own community. There’s also a community up for the Year of Luigi developer’s room.

Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka, and Yoshihito Ikebata all left messages on Miiverse. Below are Miyamoto’s remarks:

“It’s been a whole 30 years since Luigi’s debut in Mario Bros.! Thanks to Luigi’s fans within Nintendo and all over the world, we have created many games starring Luigi. I hereby declare 2013 to be the Year of Luigi!”
