Mario Bros. the arcade game was released 30 years ago in the summer of 1983. It was then that Luigi was introduced to the gaming world for the first time as Mario's palette swapped brother. Now Nintendo is celebrating this anniversary by releasing some Luigi games and calling it the Year of Luigi.

Everyone knew about Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon but they also announced Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (very reminiscent to when you get to play with Mario's face from Super Mario 64) and New Super Luigi U, a brand new game in the form of DLC.



Of all of the Mario characters Luigi is probably my favorite so I'm really glad that Nintendo announced this. I will definitely look out for the games that they are releasing this year (Especially when they cap it all off with a new Wii U 3D Mario game with both Mario and Luigi. Right?).
