Nintendo Life: There’s no denying that the 3DS was somewhat overshadowed by the Wii U during the holiday period and that it didn't quite have the packed software line-up it had enjoyed back in late 2011. Aside from Paper Mario: Sticker Star there wasn't a great deal for us to sink our teeth into, and things were made worse when the much anticipated Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon was delayed until the New Year.
If you're still holding tight onto your Nintendo 3DS, make sure you've got the best games.
Really enjoyed Mario Kart 7 and Kid icarus also spent way to long on smash bros prob why still yet to properly play luigis mansion 2 did about 5-10 hours, majoras mask 😅🥴 and evening a link between worlds
However Pokemon X/Y were great and the 3rd gen remakes, Mario 3d land was brilliant Pilotwings was a great launch game. Got rhythm paradise and professor layton yet to play bought one got the other for free somewhere. Got all the Vc stuff nes SNES megs drive game gear Game boy and colour I got 10 GBA games 3d classics Wario ware touched so many great games all under one console. Had mine since day still got stuff to play, or play again (VC) great article tho nice to see it all on one page rather than spread between adverts.
Some great games there. Still waiting for the switch to become a real powerhouse with more of what Nintendo is known for. I feel that with 2 years in, it has been slow.
It is a good time to be a Luigi fan. Mario’s little brother not only has a place in Super Mario Maker 2, but 2019 brought his adventure series back. Luigi’s Mansion has returned! But, what if someone didn’t play it on the GameCube? What if a person missed the handheld releases? Here’s why everyone should help Luigi suck up some unruly spirits.
Before Luigi’s Mansion came out in 2001, Luigi was stuck in Mario’s shadow. Luigi started life as a green-colored palette-swap for Mario in the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros., and that was his role going forward for a long time. If a Mario game had two players, Luigi would be called into action.
That’s why the announcement of Luigi’s Mansion felt like such a big deal. Every major Nintendo home console had launched with a Mario game. Now, the GameCube was going to debut in 2001 alongside a solo Luigi adventure. Finally, the little brother plumber was getting the spotlight.
