Luigi won’t have his own story in New Super Luigi U, unclear if Mario will make appearance
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo is coming out with a major expansion for New Super Mario Bros. U. Sometime within the next few months, owners of the Wii U game will be able to experience loads of brand new levels in “New Super Luigi U”.
New Super Luigi U will be more like a level pack rather than a completely new adventure. The DLC won’t feature an original story for Luigi, according to Shigeru Miyamoto, “but all of the levels have been redesigned”.
Regarding Mario, Miyamoto wasn’t able to confirm (or deny) if the other mustached hero will be making appearance.
Miyamoto told MTV Multiplayer:
“There are some people that say that they want Mario to appear, but Mr. Tezuka is saying that he’s not going to let Mario into this game.”
Take a look at the video above for more from Miyamoto on Luigi. There’s even more here.
