As far as Mario goes, it sounds to me like they're adding another Yoshi type character.
As long as it's not another "sidekick" like FLUDD. >_> I liked Super Mario Sunshine well enough for the most part, but that talking nozzle was just damned annoying.
I've never considered Luigi to be a sidekick, he's just player 2.
In the earlier games this is true, but in the later games he doesn't even get that much, with the exception of Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, and even then there's the in-game joke about how Luigi was just brought along by mistake. Usually, Luigi is either bumped down to even less than sidekick status, like in Paper Mario where he's just a recurring NPC at best, or he's just left out altogether. The guy just doesn't get any respect.
