He just wanted to vacuum up some ghosts, that’s all. When Mario’s plucky brother Luigi entered that dank gothic mansion yesterday, during Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros. Direct, he was armed with his funny ghost-bustin’ device and an amusing sense of cowardice. Oh, how we giggled as he dashed around the creepy homestead, being shocked by mummies, animated furniture and other such ghoulies. Oh, Luigi! You try so hard!
Then, it happened, Luigi came face-to-skull with a supernatural foe unlike any he’d faced before. For this is Castlevania, and Luigi stood before not just any spectre, but Death. Death itself, wielding its trusty scythe and staring with hollow eyes that scream with the plight of a million lost souls, about to become a million and one.
With a swing of the scythe, it was over, and the Nintendo community, watching and laughing online, went cold. Death had claimed its latest prize. Death had killed Luigi.
