It’s because of the Wii U, even if it wasn’t the Year of Luigi, they would have had the same problems. Every Luigi’s Mansion game has sold at least twice as much as the previous entry. Luigi has a serious following and those followers are very protective of him as am I.
According to Kit and Krysta, Nintendo did the Year of Luigi because the Wii U was reeeally struggling, so they just wanted something to bring more attention to the games being released for it. Ironically, also according to Kit and Krysta, Nintendo hates celebrating anniversaries (notice they've never done a year of any other character), so they had to really be desperate to push this campaign.
@@squiddywiddy8891 Considering how many Wii U story times they did at the beginning I would think it would have to be in the first handful of episodes, but I'm afraid I don't know exactly which one. As for the detail of them not liking to do anniversaries in the first place, that is in one of the patreon exclusive Q&A sessions.
I figured as much. Besides the 3DS, Nintendo was really not doing well back then and I remember when this campaign came out I thought “Is this the best they can do?” Most of us just wanted games. Thankfully end of 2013-2014 was when all the good Wii U games released
They ended it so that the 2014 fiscal year wouldn't also be terrible. Had Luigi's reign been left unchecked, Nintendo likely would have dissolved before they could release the switch. Thank god Miyamoto was able to wrestle back control from his greasy gloved hands.
@@SweaterSwagg technically 4; in MarioKart: Double Dash!!, you can see a mansion with a massive L logo in the background of Luigi Circuit. If we want to be, like, a turbo dweeb, technically it's still 3 since the 3rd one was just a hotel and not a mansion.

He works quite hard no doubt but this was a previously created video as stated in the description of the video. No discounting his work but he didn't record this even this year according to it.
Okay, I am actively pissed that they refuse to give us more lore about R.O.B. He's like, THE Nintendo character. Yeah he didn't do hot, but he pushed toy lovers into the gaming hobby. He reeled in a *very* specific audience, and it actually somewhat(?) succeeded in converting toy lovers. We saw him only once outside of Smash in MarioKart DS of ALL THINGS. And then never again. It's like he's a cryptid in his own plain of existance. It's so sad. He deserved more. Anyway, #JUSTICE4ROB!
IIRC Nintendo of America went crazy with marketing the year of Luigi on RUclips. I distinctly remember a series of parkour videos with a guy dressed as Luigi, it was pretty cool. Big time for Luigi fans.
With the year of Luigi there’s this really particular memory I have where I was in the hospital visiting my grandpa and we had to go to a waiting room for some reason and they had a computer in there so I just looked up stuff about the year of Luigi and tried talking about it with my dad
Theming the entire year on a purposefully neglected character before your new home console is even three months old is certainly one way to help it fail
Funny you should say that, because I don't remember it by the games that came out or the actual year, but rather by the fact that it was two years before my parents got divorced. "The year of Luigi...when was that again? OH RIGHT! Two years before mom and dad split up, so...got it! 2013!"
Its really funny to imagine that Luigi being celebrated for a year was the reason that Nintendo had their worst financial year ever. Giving the green man the spotlight for a year was the catalyist of destruction
I highly doubt the reason was actually Luigi considering they releasing a failed console right before the year started. Luigi does not deserve the blame!
@@theonlybilge probably. I know PAL regions had a few unique ones like Kirby’s Adventure Wii instead of Return to Dreamland. I’m also pretty sure Paper Jam (Bros.) was affected by the PALification but I’m too lazy to check now.
Ah yes, The Year of Luigi. I still have the green 3DS Luigi storage hat and my free copy of Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon for 3DS complete with Miyamoto’s autograph. I won a short essay contest on Twitter about my favorite Luigi moment.
man i wasn’t really active on the videogame sphere at the time so i barely noticed luigi’s year 😭 i love him so a full year of just luigi sounds so much fun to me
I really enjoyed the Year of Luigi. Yeah, it was stupid and a little pointless, and it was Nintendo's worst financial year on record, but I just thought it was charming to see the little logo and get a few Luigi-centric games. I don't even like Luigi, I'm a Mario guy, but he's a funny fellow and he's an icon, and it's so nice to see such a focus on him when he used to be such a neglected character. I remember back in the N64 days people really thought Nintendo had something against Luigi in particular with the way he always played second banana to Mario, but now he's got his own identity and holds a place in all of our hearts.
The Year of Luigi is one of my favorite events Nintendo ever hold. Luigi is one of my favorite characters of all time, and my favorite game(Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon) released this year. Hell it’s my personal favorite subset of stuff to collect. I have all the games and that’s about it
It was also the year Starbomb released the music video for Luigi's Ballad. I wouldn't be surprised if this whole marketing blitz brought Luigi back into the forefront for a lot of younger Nintendo fans after he'd been absent in the a lot of the mainline N64 & GCN games.
one of my favorite parts from the year of luigi was the weird parkour video they made where there are two reporters who want to find luigi who's like a parkour master. That's gold
I remember when this guy on Miiverse was my first follower and I was his 20th or something then he made the last post on Year of Luigi community by accident when he was on holiday and didn't have the right timezone 😂 He came back with thousands of followers
My dad got me my first 3DS in 2013, and it was the Year of Luigi silver 3DS bundled with Mario & Luigi Dream Team. Luigi's been my favorite character ever since, so i guess the Year of Luigi had some sort of impact lmao
around earlier this year or late last year i was really *really* hoping they would bring year of luigi back for his 40th anniversary. I guess i get why they didn't but it would've been the funniest thing ever
I never got around to playing any of these (no Wii U) but they did include a Dr. Luigi mode in Dr. Mario Miracle Cure for 3DS so I could still meme it up with Luigi that way
Fun fact: The Year of Luigi was one of my inspirations to do a written character study on Luigi back in high school. I was starting to have a much deeper appreciation for Luigi during 2013, especially since i was the younger of 2 brothers growing up. It's rather unfortunate that not a lot of Luigi related content was released as far as games go, and even more unfortunate that it ended up being a major loss for Nintendo. Kind of a shame really. At least we got a cool Miiverse Commuinty during that time. Oh and another thing, technically Luigi made his debut in the Game and Watch adaptation of Mario Bros, which released before the Arcade game. Oops.
The one thing that I don't like about the New Super Mario Bros. games, is that you can only really save the game after a castle level. You can save your game anywhere after you beat the game, which to me doesn't make sense.
So, Scott kinda missed one game. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker has the same hidden Luigi’s as other games do yet it was released in November of 2014 so I don’t know if they planned it as a YoL game or what
I got the gold coin from Club Nintendo and I've still got it somewhere. I remember complaining on Miiverse that the Year of Luigi was going on for too long and someone replied 'well that's the idea, it's suppose to be a YEAR'.
I so damn disappointed that your didn’t even give Dream Team a change and say some good stuff about it. Dream Team was a really good game, just like Dark Moon, and Super Luigi U.
They also did a silver Year of Luigi 3DS XL bundle with Mario & Luigi Dream Team and Year of Luigi branding on the bottom in gold print. I found it pretty neat because they never released a regular silver 3DS XL in North America.
i was like 8 or 9 during the year of luigi, and i remember being so genuinely hyped about that. i was luigis biggest fan and i loved that they were giving my favorite green boy some love. in retrospect i think kid me probably thought this was a bigger deal than it ended up being lol
as a taller younger sibling to my much more sociable shorter older sibling i relate to mr luigi mario an extreme amount, so the year of luigi was very exciting to me
“I mean… what do you want me to say about it?” Regarding the ancillary inclusion of Luigi Bros in Mario 3D World is the most distressing thing I’ve ever heard this man say. Like, is everything ok Scott?
I'm sitting here, right, the video paused in the middle of the dark moon segment, trying to think of the year of Luigi things. Right now I can think of Luigi U, Dark Moon, and maybe the Luigi bros game in 3d world? I guess it felt like a way bigger deal in the moment but the fact that I can't think of anything just goes to show that it really wasn't.

Fun year to be a Nintendo Fan, Great Year to be Luigi and Worst Year to be Nintendo.
To be honest it probably probably was not even a great year to be a Luigi (besides the Mansion game).

I think that makes the fact that this was the year where their stocks hit an all-time low even funnier.
Kinda how disney celebrated WDW 50th anniversary.
The reason it ended in March is because that's the end of the fiscal year. It was literally the fiscal year of luigi.
They ended it so that the 2014 fiscal year wouldn't also be terrible. Had Luigi's reign been left unchecked, Nintendo likely would have dissolved before they could release the switch. Thank god Miyamoto was able to wrestle back control from his greasy gloved hands.

Let’s be real, this topic deserved a full Scott the Woz treatment.
Scott's upload schedule and ability to come up with video ideas never fails to absolutely blow my mind
We don’t deserve this man, he’s put out 3 Stash videos and 2 Scott the Woz episodes in less than a week
He works quite hard no doubt but this was a previously created video as stated in the description of the video. No discounting his work but he didn't record this even this year according to it.

If Nintendo dedicated a year to Wario their profits would skyrocket
I would love a year of Daisy. She is such an under-served character. There is a small but dedicated base for Daisy fans.

I feel like a good genre for Luigi's Mansion would be "Spook em ups", arcade/replayable high score experiences with a focus on cartoony scares
see you in 2033 for Luigi’s 50th birthday
I so damn disappointed that your didn’t even give Dream Team a change and say some good stuff about it. Dream Team was a really good game, just like Dark Moon, and Super Luigi U.
The fact he even had his lime Green case like an Xbox as well was cool.
They also did a silver Year of Luigi 3DS XL bundle with Mario & Luigi Dream Team and Year of Luigi branding on the bottom in gold print. I found it pretty neat because they never released a regular silver 3DS XL in North America.
2013 was the year of Luigi appreciation
Luigi also took over the Chicago CTA and schlepped around tweeting about pizza and things for a few days, for some reason.
3DS Year of Luigi was MY 3DS XL. Loved it. Hated Dream Team tho I never beat it I couldn’t stand it.
It is canonical that because the Year of Luigi Happened that Luigi permanently Lost his SSBB Final Smash ability.
can't wait for the year of e.gadd
I like to say Luigi made Nintendo lose half a billion dollars, but I never mean it, Luigi is awesome
If only we’ve gotten a Paper Luigi game. Who wouldn’t want to see what the Waffle Kingdom actually looks like.

FINALLY A LUIGI VIDEO YES LETS GOOOO I LOVE YOU SCOTT
Now we need the year of Peach.
I think the only thing we got was month of Peach which was August. I cant remember anything about that at all but I know this was a thing
At 1:27, Scott, my man, if there's more then one title in a year for the switch you lose your mind.
love you scott you a real one for this
as a taller younger sibling to my much more sociable shorter older sibling i relate to mr luigi mario an extreme amount, so the year of luigi was very exciting to me

I'm sitting here, right, the video paused in the middle of the dark moon segment, trying to think of the year of Luigi things. Right now I can think of Luigi U, Dark Moon, and maybe the Luigi bros game in 3d world? I guess it felt like a way bigger deal in the moment but the fact that I can't think of anything just goes to show that it really wasn't.
So if the year of Luigi was the 30th anniversary of the introduction of Luigi, does that mean 2030 will be the year of Waluigi?
best year ever
Let's also not forget the Finding Luigi parkour video. I wake up some morning wondering if that was real
Luigi’s first appearance was on the multi screen Game & Watch Mario Bros., released a few months before the arcade Mario Bros.☝🏻🤓
Just glad that Luigi got his doctorate that year.
Luigi deserved better, give him another year on the next system
