"On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer." Satoru Iwata in his keynote speech at GDC 2005[8] R.I.P. Iwata. What's a direct gonna be like without you.
EpicKnuxeles2002 Both Reggie and Bill have done a few segments in Nintendo directs, and aside from Iwata, I think they would be the most recognizable/familiar with the audience, so it would be reasonable to have them.
It's truly amazing just how much effort Mr. Iwata put into Nintendo Direct. As a person with immigrant parents, I know it is especially difficult to speak English as a secondary language and be understood. This is a great example of his dedication to games, fans, and creating fun times for anyone and everyone. RIP Iwata, enjoy yourself on the other side of the rainbow. We who are earthbound will never forget you and always understand!
i just noticed... this was uploaded on VALENTINES DAY, which mean they all LOVE luigi, so they announced the YOL on the day you're supposed to love someone! 0.0
R.I.P. Iwata but also, Alphadream, developers of the Mario and Luigi series. I think we can all agree things were looking bright back when they revealed Dream Team.
Man this brought back so many memories. The year of luigi… I got my wii u in 2013 and I really admired how Nintendo gave little fun treats to the community (Which at this time was small and loyal). Iwata wanted to deliver the best experience to the gamer and the 3ds and wii u were killer consoles. The games were presented in a way that made it easy to follow yet it was informative. And miiverse and virtual console… Oh man. If Nintendo does another Year of Luigi it won’t be like this one from 2013 which was pure fan service.
I got mine in 2014, but I was psyched about getting one. Very first thing I bought on Wii U was EarthBound, not counting Mario Kart 8 (console bundle).
I have tears in my eyes watching the replays of Nintendo direct knowing that the lovely soul of Iwato San is no longer filling the world with sunshine ..
On July 11th 2019, you would've been 60 this year. Crazy how 4 years have passed since you left us and joined the Dream World along with Mr. Yamauchi and Mr. Gunpei Yokoi.
2/14/2023. 10 years have passed since this Direct. The Uear of Luigi might have been a huge flop, but it was still incredible. RIP Iwata, thank you for dedicating 2013 to the Green Man
As a Russian by ear, I don't understand English very well without subtitles. But Iwata San talks so slowly and heartily about new Luigi's Mansion game, that i really understood every word He is the true Angel with japanese accent
God, what a shot in the arm, to watch this again. I was so excited about everything Nintendo was doing in this time. Happy 10th anniversary of the Year of Luigi, everyone.
RIP Iwata. Five years without you have been empty. I know you would be happy with the success of the Switch. I know you poured your heart into the console. Nintendo forever.
I just came here to rewatch it. Remember when I was amazed by this direct as a kid(13) after I got an Old 3DS at Christmas and then this Direct came up later. I'll never be able to experience this feeling again. As well as I will always remember you, Iwata-San. Directs and Nintendo in particular are not the same without you anymore.
With 2023 coming up, it’d be nice if they did another Year of Luigi. I think done right, they could make one that goes much better for Nintendo financially. In fact earlier today I came up with a little pitch for one. First off, the marketing is birthday themes, lots of pictures of Mario and the gang celebrating Luigi’s birthday, and a tie in with Cold Stone You ever been to a Target store and see the statue of Mario on a flag pole over the Nintendo games? Well for this year, he would be replaced by Luigi. There’d of course be lots of cool Luigi themed merch, like new Lego sets, shirts, toys and more. But the big thing would be the games…. First up, to kick things off we have a new switch game: Super Luigi 3D All Stars. This collection includes ports of Luigi’s Mansion and Dark Moon, and…Super Luigi Sunshine! This is an enhanced version of Super Mario Sunshine where you play as Luigi. You get his higher jumping and air time, but that’s not all, there’s also ton of new challenges in the levels, like “defeat this many enemies without using FLUDD” “reach the end of the level jumping as little as possible” time trials, and more. And of course, every challenge gets you a shine, doubling the amount of shines you can collect in the game to 240! Also, Luigi 3D All Stars would be half the price of Mario All Stars. Next up, Super Mario Odyssey gets a free new update, adding a new mode: Super Luigi Odyssey! This is basically an Odyssey New Game+ mode. It does the same thing as Luigi Sunshine, higher jumping and air time, challenges, time trials, etc. All the costumes have been changed accordingly, and now Mario runs Balloon World. Next up, Dr. Luigi comes to the eShop, with a new low price of 4.99, as well as an unlockable NES style mode. Switch Online gets three new games. In the NES library, there are two new additions: Luigi Bros from 3D World and Super Luigi Bros from NES remix. But in the N64 expansion pak, we get…Super Mario 64, L Is Real Edition! Since its been revealed that Luigi was going to be in the game originally and even has a model, he’s finally been added into the game. Right from the beginning, you can choose between playing as Mario or Luigi. Or, have a friend pick up a joy con or switch online N64 controller and do a new 2 player mode! And finally, I’d like to point out that in all this marketing, there’s some suspicious teasing involving ghosts…leading up to the Birthday Bash ending with Nintendo announcing Luigi’s Mansion 4! So yeah, this was just something fun I came up with earlier. But Luigi is a great character and frankly, it was really fun to see him get the spotlight for a whole year, and doing it again would be nice for his 40th.
WTF you mean he can barely speak English???🖕 Sure he might have accents but for someone who lived his entire life in Japan, a non-English speaking country, his English is amazing.
definitive version of animal crossing, well they got that right new horizon is just graphics with lack of content, new leaf is still the best animal crossing
