2013 – The Year of Luigi

July 12, 2026March 8, 2013 by wgrd4

After decades of playing second fiddle to the No. 1 video game hero, Luigi is
getting some love from Nintendo. Nintendo has named 2013 the "Year of Luigi,"
thanks to the numerous appearances that Mario’s timid, green-clad twin brother
will be making in games this year. In a Nintendo Direct video, Nintendo provided
details about games on the way that feature Luigi, as well as information about
more than two dozen upcoming games, including content for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS
across packaged and digital formats.

"Luigi is just the green tip of the iceberg of all the great news we have to
share with Nintendo fans this year and beyond," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo
of America’s president and COO. "We’re showing how Nintendo 3DS and Wii U
continue to be a source of fun, entertainment and great surprises."
