The Year of Luigi is coming to an end. But Nintendo has yet one more bonus to celebrate Luigi's leaner, greener brother. The upcoming Super Mario 3D World includes a readily-accessible bonus that pays homage to one of the earliest entries in the franchise.

Spoilers follow.

Discovered by NeoGAF, GameXplain has a video of Luigi Bros. Accessed from the main menu, this is a Luigi-themed adaptation of the original Mario Bros arcade game. But... who would player two be?

        New hardware launches rarely have truly great games, usually all flash. So Mario will most definitely be the best game of the season.

        Furthermore, we're entering a new era with all this hardware, where making games that utilize the full potential of the hardware is incredibly expensive, and therefore incredibly risky. So we're not going to see tons of mind blowing graphical fidelity in the years to come, A lot of games are going to look like high res Xbox 360 games.

      This isn't a "Luigi-themed retro game." It's Mario Bros., the arcade game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrjux3INwxw

          My bad, didn't read the article. I'm wondering why the title didn't just say that?
