Which way to buy New Super Luigi U.

As you may know, The downloadable content known as New Super Luigi U for the Wii  U game New Super Mario Bros U was released about a week ago. This DLC came be purchased directly through the eShop now as DLC for New Super Mario Bros U or as a stand alone game come August 25th here in the states. Now some of you may have either a digital or retail copy of the original New Super Mario Bros U or you might not have a copy of it yet and might be wondering what option is best for you on how to purchase these new 82 Luigi based levels. In this post, I'll break it down for ya.

Now if you have already bought New Super Mario Bros U, I think it's smarter to buy New Super Luigi U as DLC from the eShop. This is mainly because you're going to save money in the long run. Take a look at it this way, New Super Mario Bros U MSRP (Manufacture's Suggested Retail Price) is roughly about $60 and the DLC via eShop for New Super Luigi is roughly $20. When added it up, That's roughly somewhere around $80. Now if you take the New Super Mario Bros U's MSRP and add it up with the cost of a retail packaged version of New Super Luigi U that's going to release on August 25th (roughly $30), That is roughly $90. This is roughly a ten dollar difference in the pricing for both. You're going to save money if you get New Super Luigi U as DLC from the eShop. Though I'd only recommend getting the packaged version of New Super Luigi U along with New Super Mario Bros U if you are one of those collectors or if you can not connect to the eShop if you do not have high speed internet.

Now if you don't have New Super Mario Bros U, You are going to have to go with the retail version since the DLC version via eShop is for those who HAVE New Super Mario Bros U.

Though I highly recommend getting New Super Mario Bros U if you don't have it already and want to play New Super Luigi U. This is because New Super Mario Bros U is a good game and you're going to save roughly $10 on both it and New Super Luigi U in the long run.

I hope this clears up everything that you might have been wondering about this DLC.
