I'm actually quite offended Luigi got no spotlight in his trailer. Red, blue yellow.

It was about the primary colours though.
 
DaKid said:
Well DK doesn't look creepy and weird as *bleep*. Pac-Man should not have teeth.

Baby Luigi said:
My point is that characters always look ugly with those eyes and that grin, it's not exclusive to new design Pac-Man

There's a difference though, Classic Pac-Man wouldn't be able to pull such a look off. Or look plain hideous showing teeth at all.

I don't think it's THAT big of a deal to me

It's nothing compared to, say, Skylanders Spyro, DmC Dante, Realistic Bomberman, etc.

What reason was there for luigi to be in the spotlight there?
He's just as iconic as Pac-Man, Mario, Sonic, and Mega Man.

That's debatable

That's not debatable at all.
I agree it isn't debatable. Luigi isn't as iconic.
 
DaKid said:

Uh yes it is

Mario is Nintendo's mascot, Pac-Man is Namco's mascot, Sonic is Sega's mascot and Mega-Man is Capcom's mascot. It's simply a battle of the video game mascots. Luigi is NOT Nintendo's mascot that's why he's not there.

If you're going to refute my "debatable" point with "no it's not" then I'm certain you've got nothing significant to back you up

He's not as iconic as them. Those are the four most well known video game characters pretty much.

Luigi has more fans than Mario IIRC.

Dude Nintendo don't really care about Luigi as much as the main characters of the respective series.

Is that why they dedicated a year to him?

That was to promote Dark Moon, NSLU, and Dream Team.

More people can recognize Mario than they can recognize Luigi. That is a fact. It's called the friggin "Super Mario" series.

It was about the primary colours though.

Actually the Primary Colors are Red, Green, and Blue. That'd actually be support of Luigi being there. Yellow is a secondary color.

But he isn't considered the Mascot/Face of Nintendo. It's supposed to reflect the biggest stars of each of the companies. And there's no Nintendo character more iconic or just as much as Mario himself. You don't hear anyone saying "Wow, I can make Luigi fight Sonic/Pac-Man/Mega Man!" nearly as much as you do for Mario

Now this is debatable. But it has no study to back it up.

Mario is most famous for his game Super Mario Bros. Mario is their mascot but Luigi can be considered to be just as much. Well subjectively.

It doesn't have to do with how much fans they have though.

No, that's primary colors for light. Primary colors for pigmentation is something completely different.

Still doesn't change the fact that Mario is most certainly more recognizable than Luigi

That year did nothing in his favour anyway.

How did it not? Hell, Mario Kart 8 alone made him the meme of the year..

Ok? Still. There were more things than that, it wasn't just games.

The Year of Luigi ended far before Mario Kart 8 got released and that highly overrated stupid meme spawned
 
DaKid said:
Says the person with the meme in her sig lol.

The pic turns the meme on its head. It's a great parody of it that involves my favorite character, that's why I like it so much.

You mean the Luigi Death Stare? Luigi has a lot of memes.

Mario and DK: No sign of Luigi
Dream Team: Go into the dream world where you play as who the whole time? Mario.
Mario Party: Nothing.
Dark Moon: Finishes before TYOL even started.

I can't remember anything else because it didn't do anything different to what they would do anyway. All it did was make those annoying "one time only" fans join just because he got a year.
