Play A Great Game All The Way Through With Most Of The Stuff Being Surprises Or Challenging Just So I Can Play As Virtually The Same Character Who's Clothes Have Been F*cked In The Washing Machine And Is Wearing Springier Shoes???

Dissapointing.........

-Why Not Extra Hidden Missions?
-Why Not Entirely Unexpected Side Quests?
(Imagine Bowser Has Something To Do Except Kidnapping This Time Mabye.....?)
-Why Not Better Rewards?

(I Hope The Ending Isn't As Dissapointing As Metroid Prime 3: Corruption........ I Got The 'Special Ending' And What Does Samus Do??? Give A Thumbs Up To The Friggin Camera!!! Goddamn Pathetic!)

(...And Another Rant: The Last Boss In 'Zelda: Twilight Princess Was So Easy, A Retarded 2 Year Old Quadruple Paraplegic With Dwarfism And A Brain Tumor Could Have Completed It!!!)

Phew! Enough Said For Now..... I'll Be Back Soon.

Is there ever a time where playing as Luigi isn't cool? It was worth playing Super Mario Bros on 2 player so you could be him. Luigi rocks.

That is so, so, so awesome. I lamented him not being playable in 64 or Sunshine. I was glad they put him back in New Super Mario Bros., and I'm really, really excited to see this!

I like this. It's more like a hard mode starring Luigi instead of just switching the graphics. And considering how many millions (okay maybe just thousands) of times I played through some of the previous Mario games a change up in the gameplay is welcomed.

"THAT's when you turn the power off."

"And go outside to look up at the stars."

Luigi needs more of his own games, seeing as he's far superior to Mario. Hell, if they don't want to deal with new concepts, I'd be happy with a Luigi's Mansion 2 - the first one was rad, if for nothing else than the music with the insane bass.

Man, wtf is wrong with nintendo. I may be drunk, but keeping Luigi around as an alternative character was a stroke of genius in the original SMB, and generally leaving him out of the franchise ever since (barring some other entries) is just a ridiculously poor move.

Luigi, to some (me included), was a huge favorite. Fuck Mario. That fat jerk.
