Nintendo bids farewell to the Year of Luigi

With the Year of Luigi coming to an end, a range of Luigi-themed discounts are underway on the Nintendo eShop.

The best of these is New Super Luigi U for £13.49. Less good, at least in terms of discount, is Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros. on 3DS for £27.99. NES classic Super Mario Bros. is also being cut to £1.74 on both Wii U and 3DS Virtual Console.

As for new stuff launching this week, there’s puzzler Tappingo – best described as a mixture of Sudoku and Picross – on 3DS for £2.49, fellow puzzler Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (£7.99), hidden object thing Vacation Adventures: Park Ranger (£4.49) and Life with Horses 3D for an eyebrow raising £24.99.

They’re being joined on the eShop by reasonably entertaining platformer Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, which is set to cost £36.99 on Wii U and £29.49 on 3DS.

This leaves us with scrolling brawler Renegade, which after arriving on 3DS VC last month, is now available on Wii U VC. £3.49 seems a fair price to knock seven bells out of some 8-bit bad guys.
