We're not afraid to say it. The Expansive team are massive fans of the Gamecube. One of the finest games on the system was one that shipped at launch: Luigi’s Mansion. Suffice it to say, we've been waiting a very long time for a follow up.
Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon does make occasional subtle winks toward Pink Floyd’s most famous album; the story is lot deeper and more detailed than the original Gamecube title, but it’s still full of the charm that made the original title so endearing. Thankfully, Nintendo haven’t tried to reinvent the wheel too drastically here, although there are some big differences between the two titles which I’ll get into shortly.
Nintendo has used March 10 (aka MAR10 Day) to make a number of Mario related announcements, including an update on Super Mario Bros Movie 2.
After decades of squashing Goombas and travelling through pipes, it's time someone stood up for the underdog brother, Luigi.
"As I write this, I reminisce about every October where I plugged in my old Gamecube, popped open my Luigi’s Mansion case, and put in the game while starting a new playthrough. But this article isn’t about the original game, it’s about the newly announced game, Luigi’s Mansion 3."
Regarding Coop play, the reason why the second Luigi is this green mass is likely due to the fact that it's not native co-op on the system. That is, you are using two separate 3DS's to communicate. Having an untextured set of polygons reduces streaming load and allows the game to run smoother, I'd assume, while still keeping the perspective of the secondary player intact.
If they did bring it to Switch I'd imagine the second player would be another character since it'd likely be native co-op.
Also, a 15 hour playthrough on the original Luigi's Mansion? That game took me like 6 hours... I hope he means Dark Moon.
I’d laugh and genuinely find this game even more appealing if Waluigi actually did appear in it as an antagonist jealous of Luigi’s fortune.
Unless I'm mistaken, Waluigi was introduced in Mario Kart Double Dash, and he's gone on to be a cult favourite character of Nintendo.
He deserves either his own game or a major roll in a game such as Luigi's Mansion 3!
If Nintendo makes a new Wario game and doesn't include Waluigi it will be criminal.
Toadette debuted in Mario Kart: Double Dash
Waluigi debuted in Mario Tennis 64
If Nintendo can make Waluigi an antagonist in Mario DDR, they can do it in this game. Idk why he’s not even in any Wario game
Most of these, if not all five, feel like a given.. at least in my opinion. Seriously though, I have no expectations, I just wanted it to exist, so I'm absolutely fine.
