 Welcome yet again to the video game storytime advent calendar, and a miniature video about gaming history. Ever wondered why Luigi isn't in Super Mario 64? Earlier this year, the characters' art assets leaked online, definitively proving that he was in the game at one point. So why did he get cut? According to Shigeru Miyamoto, well, until February he was in the game, ultimately due to memory issues we had to take him out. Then we were going to include him in a Mario Bros style minigame. But because most users probably only have that one controller when they first buy their N64, for that reason, and others, we decided not to. So apparently if the N64 had come with a Joy-Con style 2 controller bundle, Luigi might have been left in Super Mario 64. We did a video on the infamous Nintendo leaks earlier this year that you can watch. Or otherwise, we'll see you tomorrow for the next video.
