Luigi has always been dubbed the eternal understudy in the Nintendo universe. While always playing second fiddle to his more popular brother Mario, Luigi has never really gotten his due in many of the games he has appeared in. Yet there are a few little gems scattered across the all the different Nintendo console generations where Mario’s green hatted brother has stepped into the spotlight and out of his brother’s shadow. One such game was a title originally on the Nintendo GameCube called Luigi’s Mansion, which was a launch title for the system back in the day. Now Luigi is getting another shot at a solo adventure on the 3DS in a sequel following his exploits on the GameCube. And this time the stakes are raised even higher for the green plumber.
If you're still holding tight onto your Nintendo 3DS, make sure you've got the best games.
Really enjoyed Mario Kart 7 and Kid icarus also spent way to long on smash bros prob why still yet to properly play luigis mansion 2 did about 5-10 hours, majoras mask 😅🥴 and evening a link between worlds
However Pokemon X/Y were great and the 3rd gen remakes, Mario 3d land was brilliant Pilotwings was a great launch game. Got rhythm paradise and professor layton yet to play bought one got the other for free somewhere. Got all the Vc stuff nes SNES megs drive game gear Game boy and colour I got 10 GBA games 3d classics Wario ware touched so many great games all under one console. Had mine since day still got stuff to play, or play again (VC) great article tho nice to see it all on one page rather than spread between adverts.
Some great games there. Still waiting for the switch to become a real powerhouse with more of what Nintendo is known for. I feel that with 2 years in, it has been slow.
It is a good time to be a Luigi fan. Mario’s little brother not only has a place in Super Mario Maker 2, but 2019 brought his adventure series back. Luigi’s Mansion has returned! But, what if someone didn’t play it on the GameCube? What if a person missed the handheld releases? Here’s why everyone should help Luigi suck up some unruly spirits.
Before Luigi’s Mansion came out in 2001, Luigi was stuck in Mario’s shadow. Luigi started life as a green-colored palette-swap for Mario in the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros., and that was his role going forward for a long time. If a Mario game had two players, Luigi would be called into action.
That’s why the announcement of Luigi’s Mansion felt like such a big deal. Every major Nintendo home console had launched with a Mario game. Now, the GameCube was going to debut in 2001 alongside a solo Luigi adventure. Finally, the little brother plumber was getting the spotlight.
I have been neglecting getting a 3ds for quite some time now. Fire Emblem Awakening and this game have fully convinced me now to invest in this device.
