- After a year of their friend Sam pestering them, Jonii is finally taking a look at Nintendo's Year of Luigi, an infamous financial loss for the company. Will New Super Luigi U, Dr. Luigi, and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon live up to the expectations set by the green plumber's pedigree? Will the other promotional events like the Chicago L Train make up for it? Will you watch this video?

I've gotta say, I'm just so happy that our stupid inside joke turned out this way. A whole year and a half of on and off pestering and joking and countless dumb memes. Only you could have brought this to life and I'm happy to have been included. Hears to another hundred years of Luigi.
(P.S. Where's the Birdo Video?)
First and foremost, thank you very much for the topic! The year and a half of pestering ended up resulting in one of my favorite videos I've ever made and I think that's in large part because I wanted to make sure I got it right. Incredibly happy to have had your involvement and to have made this video something we could all enjoy.
P.S: the Birdo video will be out when it's out :P

Donkey kong isn’t a number 2 though, luigi is, that’s why we have the year of luigi.
Why is Luigi always described as cowardly?
The only time we see him genuinely afraid is in the Mansion series, where he's depicted as being terrified of ghosts.
In spite of this, when his brother (or his friends) needs him, he confronts his fears and fights the ghosts to save him/them.
That is LITERALLY the definition of COURAGE.
Luigi faces his greatest fears when the situation calls for it. He's not cowardly, he's incredibly brave.
Luigi is just like Ron Weasley.
He’s also scared in the Mario and Luigi games and practically forced along those journeys
Yep. The definition of courage is literally the ability to do something that frightens you, the opposite of cowardly. He's always scared, but he always fights and overcomes it. He saved his brother by defeating King Boo by decapitating his Bowser costume and sucking him into his vacuum lmao.
You say that like that’s a bad thing
@@zoobmaball3697 it's bad that he's called a coward. He shouldn't be.

@@guy-sl3kr fair. Luigi don't fuck around, he stays straped 24/7.
gang colors
@sweet mint yeah but green and red are definitely the worst
Why tf would you do this in Chicago anyway?
I love how of all characters, Starlow is the one explicitly credited for appreciating Luigi when one of her defining character traits in the M&L series is shitting on Luigi at every opportunity possible
And that's why I hate Starlow
Seriously out of all the M&L and Paper Mario characters Starlow is the one who continues to return?
Starlow is kinda cute and sassy and has a few funny lines, but BOY she is savage to my boy Luigi and that is unacceptable and I do not like her because of that. If she had like an arc where she grew to respect Luigi as much as Mario, that would be better, but she just smack talks him whenever she gets the chance and that's just not cool. >:(
Starlow to Mario: HI, Mario! Boy am I glad to see you! You're so great! Wow, everyone loves you!
Starlow to Luigi: Oh... hi... uh... Linguine, right? (Gosh why did Mario have to bring his lame brother along?) Uhh... you won't slow Mario down, right?
Totally rude.
@@jimmybobfred696 I hate this
@@Yuni-is-Schrodingers-Fox Well, Mario and Luigi both speak gibberish, and they’re the only playable characters. Starlow, I guess, is supposed to be the voice for them, but Superstar Saga did just fine without a tagalong.
At least she isn’t as bland as Stuffwell
He's still the best bro, I mean he has way more personality than red luigi
Luigi and Wario are both amazing characters, infinitely more flavourful Good/Skinny Wario.
True
@@_-Lx-_ who’s wario? You mean fat yellow luigi
Blue toad is the only one good Mario character
Nah, it’s called Mario Bros. for a reason and not Luigi Losers 😎
dude dream team was so underrated. There is one part where mario is deep in luigi's dream psyche and you get a real look at just how much luigi cares about his bro. it's amazing.
I loved that part. Also the Giant Bowser Battle part where Luigi’s confidence is through the roof. That was cool
The Wii U and 3DS era was such a strange period in general. It felt like they were kinda going aimless though more on the Wii U but the first year of the 3DS was kinda... awkward. To anyone who didn't know, at first they wanted the 3DS to be a multimedia machine by having movies be available to purchase on the 3DS eShop but then they realized nobody would want to buy movies in 240p quality in the 2010's. And there was the botched way they handled Miiverse only for Nintendo to cast it aside when they themselves messed it up including forcing a 30 post daily limit and... overflowing the place with 3DS users that probably caused them to make a 30 post daily limit...
Imagine watching movies and tv shows on that device that would’ve been cool, but that never happened
remember when they made movie and TV show compilation cartriges for the GBA SP
i had Lilo & Stitch and Kim Possible, Rugrats and Courage the Cowardly Dog, and Shrek 1 on mine
There were supposed to be 3D movies and the Nintendo 3DS screen resolution is much higher than 240p.
@@NYCJoeBlack they sure did make a video app that lasted from 2011-2015 and added Netflix, Hulu Plus, TH-cam, and 3D trailers to upcoming games at the time. I just wished we got more of it
Back when the 3DS came with Dinosaur Office.
Year of Luigi striked me as something Nintendo cobbled together on short notice after realizing they had a couple of Luigi focused games coming out within a short timeframe of one another. Dark Moon is the only game from that year that really felt like its own fleshed out game about Luigi. Dream Team gives the guy a little more spotlight than usual but it still doesn't feel like he's the main star. The fact that the year just kinda ended with nothing proves to me it was hobbled together on short notice.
Also fun fact the guy who played Luigi in the Super Mario Super Show died in November 2013. Happy Year of Luigi!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, FUN FACT!?
@@crack4184 its a fun fact
It only depends on the perspective
@@Twasforthevine I'm concerned for the person that does see that as "fun".
How is that a fun fact and why did you have to say "Happy Year of Luigi" right after telling us about the death....
He shed his mortal coil and ascended to Luigi
I didn’t even know this is what the year of Luigi did and now I’m sad because I loved the idea of year of Luigi.
Literally the only reason it existed was because the Wii U and 3ds were both experiencing early total failure so they tried to do something to excite Nintendo fans as two Luigi heavy games happened to be releasing that year
Luigi is a gigachad, dude is a homeowner, real estate mogul, actually has a stable relationship with a princess who isn’t kidnapped, dude is doing alright
A princess who isn't kidnapped...you're not referring to Rosalina are you? If so, then that makes sense considering that both of them have the whole introverted feeling to them.
@@the-point-bearer6689 most likely meant Daisy, who, while she _was_ kidnapped, it only ever happened once, and then never again, unlike peach's million and counting.
@@rugalbernstein5913 an daisy sent bowser flying in i think mario party 4
@@andrewaftontheandroidhedge2780 Mario party 3 actually, 4's story mode more or less made all the playable characters do the exact same thing, but 3 made daisy and waluigi's introductions unique because they were non-playable.
@@rugalbernstein5913 I know what he meant, and I was about to say Daisy, but cannot because I think that Rosalina's the only princess that does not get kidnapped.
"I'm glad someone around here respects this man."
Ignoring the hundreds of times Starlow insults and berates Luigi for no reason.
Too be fair, literally everyone that has access to a textbox is after Luigi in that series. Starlow's just....a very extreme case.
Haven't played the game. Did they hook up in the end?
@@nickwallette6201 Nah not really, Luigi dies
like that one time in bowser inside story when Mario defended Luigi
Luigi get more respect then people released. He always voted the most popular mario character, has his own games over the years and now has his own Lego sets. So how is Luigi not getting any respect when he been getting it for the past twenty years?
Now that was a fun and imformative retrospective. Year of Luigi was pretty fun, and I still hold out hope for a year dedicated to another Nintendo character, like say… Donkey Kong?
Thank you very much, my friend! :D Honestly the concept of focusing on a whole character for a year has a lot of potential. Something like DK would be pretty sick cause there's such a large variety of games they could do. DKC, classic arcade DK, Mario Vs. DK, Donkey Konga FOUR? The possibilities are endless.
Year of DK? It's time to return to monke if that's the case.
donkey kong december
We already have the yearly Donkey Kong December
*informative
If Year of Luigi were a financial success for Nintendo, then there would have been Year of Daisy in 2019 (30th anniversary), Year of Birdo in 2018 (30th anniversary), Year of Wario in 2017 (25th anniversary), Year of Yoshi in 2016 (25th anniversary), Year of Rosalina in 2022 (15th Anniversary), Year of Waluigi in 2020 (20th anniversary m.th-cam.com/video/3ZRyKHd530Y/w-d-xo.html), etc.
Year of Wario couldve been amazing hypothetically.
Dang that would've been fun
I'd be down for a year of Rosalina or Donkey Kong.
Coming soon is more Years of Mario characters, but God knows we can’t have them because for whatever reason, it wastes Nintendo’s big budget!
Funny enough, Nintendo didn't celebrate "Year of Daisy," but Daisy would be made playable in "Super Mario Run" and "Super Smash Bros Ultimate."
Nintendo needs to take more risks like this
I’m glad to be a Vailski fan and know this channel
Hi
Bravery is not merely the absence of fear, but continuing to go forward despite of fear just like Luigi...
Merry Christmas dude
It wouldn't be a risk anymore seeing how well the Switch is doing. I guess they just don't want to, sadly.
Luigi's Joke is actually really fucking funny from Charles assuming he is just riffing off the cuff like he does in his own videos.
Nintendo Lost the money amount of squid game
Can we take a minute to appreciate Luigi taking the time to read his own tweets specifically for thus channel? Busy man, but he still remembers the little guys.
He should, cuz he’s one of them
A year is only a year if you let it be. The millennium of Luigi will carry on after all of our passings

Absolutely Slick, you're very welcome! Thank you for the amazing job. You were very fun to work with and I lit up seeing the premiere chat freak out and say that I got the real Luigi xD
Hearing Charles Martinet speak full sentences with both Luigi and Mario just makes me wish more that the upcoming movie had the actual game voice cast and not some random Hollywood actors.
Whaaaaaa….. you don’t want to see Jennifer Lawrence as Goomba and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Lakitu??? Can’t wait for the sequel with a reanimated Sean Connery as Cheep-Cheep.

“mario, you piece of dirt!”
Chris Pratt is a good cast choice. Dont care what any online nerd says
True
Hey! Don’t diss Jack Black as Bowser like that!
The Year of Luigi is a good example of Nintendo's willingness to sell you ideas to keep you invested in the Nintendo gaming market sphere without ever putting any effort in or delivering on the modest desires of their fanbase
If they did put any effort, we'd have gotten the Year of Waluigi instead.
Idk, there really was nothing more they could do. And I honestly appreciate the continuous presence of hidden pixel chars in 3D games.
@Exalt Chrom That just a mario game whit Luigi name on it.
Remove the word “ever” and yeah, this is 100% accurate.
I dont know, as awful as the Wii U/3DS era was for Nintendo financially, there's something so charming about it all. Year of Luigi, Miiverse, the god awful advertisements that we could laugh at, all the special 3DS consoles Nintendo was putting out, the cool little Eshop games that were frequently released, and the first party support was crazy strong across both platforms. With how boring the current era has been, I really kinda miss it.
this video rules BTW, definitely gonna have to check out more of your stuff.
I actually really liked the Wii U/3DS era a whole lot. Pretty much had all of my favorite games of that console gen coming out at the time (W101, DKCR:TF, Splatoon, etc.) and quite frankly was the only console with a really charming and homey UI. I miss all of this with the switch since even though the console itself in execution is better, i'm not really as big into a lot of the releases and the UI just feels really safe. Not bad, just nothing overly ambitious either which is probably what Nintendo was going for anyway after the Wii U.
Definitely some of my favorite years.
This is coming from an older Gen-X gamer who kinda gave up on Nintendo, like most of my peers, when the N64 game out and all of the Japanese devs jumped ship to the PlayStation.
I didn't care about the N64, thought the Gamecube was just okay, hated the Wii gimmicks...
The 3DS/Wii U era is where Nintendo remembered to make good games that could draw me in. Pity it wasn't a huge success.
@@OmegaDez Couldn't agree more, although coming from the perspective of a gen z gamer. Wii was a disappointment to me because of the gimmicky games and crappy graphics when compared to the competition. Wii U and 3DS just had the best first party support since the SNES and I found the Gamepad to be far more useful than any of the motion control stuff.
When people say god awful advertising i don't understand what they mean. Nintendo had been horrible at advertising since like the SNES days. People like them now because they're nostalgic but alot of commercials for like N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U and even Switch are god awful.
@@diegomedina9637 I think in the case of the Wii U it stood out more because a lot of casual audiences had a hard time distinguishing whether it was a new console or some new attachment for the Wii. You'll never get the N64, Gamecube, Wii and Switch mixed up with each other because they all look distinctly different, but the Wii and Wii U were very similar and like I said, had people second guessing whether it was a new system or not.
The Japanese Luigi Nendoroid has the "The Year of Luigi" logo on the box. There's usually some delay in release between Japan and western releases with these figures, so they probably removed it from the English boxes.
"They didn't focus on Luigi enough" I believe this. I see people talking about Year of Luigi as some grand event when Luigi himself is just part of reskinned games;
I bet 2022's gonna be another year of Luigi, it's probably not gonna happen, but it's the perfect opportunity.
This was a really cool event Nintendo did! Even though I prefer Mario, it's nice seeing Luigi get the spotlight sometimes. Cool video! :D

Fun Fact! Hidden Luigis are also in odyssey
Man I was really hoping for another year of Luigi. There's so many games they can still do! Paper Luigi, Super Luigi 64, Luigi & Knuckles at the spelling bee, the list goes on!
Luigi Party, Luigi Kart, Luigi Tennis….
Super Luigi's Mansion All-stars...
That will never happen
Honestly, the whole Year of Luigi thing is one of those events where you just had to be there. I remember seeing the standalone game at Walmart? And best part? You could play it without the base game at half the price. Still wish I had my copy. qwq
Also, I love your Luigi impression when you read the Tweets. XD They should've gotten you for the Mario movie.
Thanks for the nice comment! Standalone NSLU was truly a sight to behold.

I love Luigi more than I love my own son.
And yet, Nintendo has enough cash on hand to make every year the Year of Luigi until 2050 without going under.
How do you know that? Nintendo has bill they have to pay just like everyone else. There people who work for them they have to pay crap loads of money to along whit making video games that cost even more money. If a game bombs they lead to lots of money lost or jobs lost too. There a reason why f-zero and earth bound don't have games being developed any time in the future. While the switch is selling well, they still probably have not recover from the failure of the Wii U. Working in the gaming business is not easy like you kids think it is.
@@INFERNO95 Nah bro, Nintendo doesn't do business like most western companies that leverage themselves to the hilt. They have savings. MASSIVE savings. 30+ billion USD dollars. They are one of, if not the wealthiest company in Japan. Wanna idea of how confident Nintendo is in it's finances? When Microsoft attempted to buy them before launching the OG Xbox, Nintendo laughed them out of the boardroom. That's by Microsoft's own admission. According to an older release from former Nintendo CEO Hiroshi Yamaushi, he actually responded in person by saying "suck my yellow balls, Mr Ballmer...". I say this as someone who has owned and enjoyed gaming on every major console and PC in the last 20 year; Nintendo can do whatever the hell they want until well after I'm dead without ever worrying about money running out.

Honestly, I prefer Wario, and he certainly got his fair share of games, but not his fair share of fame.
However, Luigi has his own unique vibe or groove. He's not my favorite brother, but I respect him.
He certainly was my Main in Mario 2 back in the day. He jumped higher. And did a funny leg thing while he did it.

Thank you Pitt and Starlow for giving our lord and savior Luigi the respect and attention he deserves, honestly a really cool and interesting video and I was pretty entertained also I’m pretty sure the Luigi Nendoroid was a promotional thing since it came out shortly after the year of Luigi ended and they made a Luigi Nendoroid before Mario and the whole Luigi & Mario: Dream Team thing was funny 😆
I know this had been said before, but I really hope there’s more ‘Nintendo years’. It’s really cool to have under-appreciated focused on by Nintendo, who has an ash tray of characters they’ll never use. Maybe even outside of Mario characters. I hope they bite the bullet and try it again despite how year of Luigi failed.

I had no idea about the Luigi car and took it to work one day. Talk about a pleasant surprise. As to why it’s not on the green line, because Luigi’s face looks better when not riddled with bullet holes and graffiti.

I still argue with my friends when we play mario games over luigi. My friend always plays him so I never get the chance to enjoy the glory. Truly amazing.
Luigi is a great character, such a shame it turned out like it did.
If they spent the year celebrating him while actually making new games it could've been great but instead they only made reskins of existing titles and such, kinda their own fault considering the execution.
I wish that they had celebrated him properly while yknow, actually making new titles. Did my boy and themselves dirty.
Dream team?
At least it's brand new.... kinda
@@DreamyyArt Dream Team coming out that year was kinda incidental given how it most likely was in development before The Year of Luigi was a thought.
@@PipeGuy64Bit yea I agree
Instead of blaming Nintendo blame each other for not supporting Luigi in his time of need.
Having to take the red line instead of the brown line was rough enough already, this is just insult to injury
Ladies, Gentlemen, Enbies…. ? That was a surprise 🥲
As a hardcore Mario and Luigi fan, everyone in that series constantly nags at Luigi for being #2. Starlow might have said that about his year, but she constantly belittles him for not being as good as Mario.
It’s pretty messed up, but the games are amazing none the less.
Don't forget that green case for the standalone version of New Super Luigi U, man.
Luigi will be number one no matter what, No matter what.
You can now play as *L U I G I*
Great video, but the title and thumbnail are pretty misleading. I thought this was gonna be an analysis of the year of luigi's financial failure and the effects on nintendo as a company, but this is more of a retrospective of the year of luigi with only around 3 minutes of discussing the aforementioned topics. I think you should change the video's title and thumbnail to reflect the content of the video more accurately, and seem less clickbaity. Great video nonetheless, you've earned yourself a subscriber either way.
I actually have Dr. Luigi and I'd absolutely dig out my Wii U from storage to play it with you
Of all the videos I've seen covering The Year Of Luigi, this is easily the best of 'em. What an interesting little time period for the Mario series and Nintendo as a whole, indeed.
I live in Chicago now and take the CTA almost everyday and I get off at Clark/Lake to go to work and the idea of this happening now is absolutely incomprehensible
26:43 Ohoho… You could not be more wrong. Starlow is like, PRESIDENT of the Luigi Hating Club.
22:39 ayo isn't that from that "super mario world i hate you" creepypasta?
indeed it is!
Most Creepypasta's were so hilariously dumb, honestly I know a large amount of things gave me a good chuckle from how cheesy, silly and unaware of themselves they were.
I partially miss that era, partially because they were often atrocious cringe but also a unintentional comedy goldmine.
The good ol spooky spaghetti and their hyper realistic blood.
Am I the only one who saw the $456 million in the thumbnail and immediately thought there would somehow be something related to Squid Game tied in with Luigi?
I remember a Jon era Game Grumps episode of Mario Party where after losing a game to Luigi, Jon mentions the Year of Luigi and Arin jokingly says "I wish an asteroid would hit the earth and kill millions so people would just remember it as the year an asteroid hit the earth and killed millions", Jon then gave Arin a high five and Arin accidentally slapped Jon's hand too hard
What I'm saying is Arin in a way got his wish
Arin also said something interesting in their Galaxy playthrough that really does a good job of explaining the current state of their channel.
