If they announced games with today with release dates up to Summer of 2024 then that's it. Luigi's Mansion 2 HD has to be last "flagship remaster" filler before Switch 2 is released in the Fall. Expecting a full Switch 2 reveal in Spring with a possible tease this Winter.
They literally squeezed out every game possible from now to all the in the Summer. Usually they do it quarterly, but in here they practically covered 3 whole quarters. This is the end of the Switch.

I played through the original on my N3DS this summer. This looks almost identical except for resolution.

How does LM2 compare to LM3?
I enjoyed LM3, but wasn't blown away by it. 8/10 for me

It could be difficult, considering LM2 was originally made for 3DS, and therefore was designed to be playable in short bursts. You do not have a free reign over the mansions, instead E. Gadd sends Luigi on missions, where you have access to certain parts of the mansions. It's a good game, but clearly made for portable play.

By far the most fun LM ever was.
I really don’t care for the borefest that is LM1, ever since it first came out. LM3 is one of the most creative games out there and it looks fantastic, but it does drag on at times. The general gameplay of the series benefits enormously from having shorter, more focused levels rather than one big place to wade through at Luigi’s glacial pace.

We still lack Luigi’s Mansion 1 and Zelda’s Wind Waker as tentpole ports, but they could be released as cross generation HD remasters I guess.

The whole direct screamed Switch 2 in 2024.
Is yet to be seen which month.

I liked LM2 more than LM3....it's more self contained but it feels more cohesive.
LM3 made me want to collect lots of cash only to realise too late there was nothing to do with it....
If memory serves LM2 has better ghost variety too....

Kind of surprised they didn't port it with Luigi's Mansion 2 as like a bundle or something. It's an ancient game and that big.

Oh it was? Lol. Never knew that existed. This makes it even more pathetic.

Hopefully it will be like Pikmin where eventually the whole series is accessible on the Switch.
Didn't care for Luigi's Mansion 2 at all so I hope i'm right.

Doesn't look like it. The Peach game is the last from Nintendo I see on Gamestop.
Edit: Although since it doesn't have a firm release date perhaps that's why.

Ahem, okay, I couldn't have been more wrong. Don't judge graphics on low res 3D screens.
Emulator vs new footage:
My bet is April/May. This release schedule is just like what they did with 3DS. some remakes and small budget titles.

Looks to be resolution bump, smoothening models, and touching up the textures. A decent presentation update.

Interesting to see this. Luigi's Mansion 1 is one of my all time favorites, but Dark Moon lacked so much of what made the original fun to me. I hated the linear mission structure, the change to the flashlight mechanics and the ghost/boss designs (they were so good and interesting in the first game! In Dark Moon they are so generic). Just overall it felt off, it wasn't the sequel I wanted at all.
I'm glad others enjoyed it though. I'm never going to get the kind of sequel I want but maybe if this sells well they'll port the first game again too.

I still stand on my March 2024 prediction, but they can go for Summer.

Well it was a graphical downgrade over the GameCube

What can I say? I even borrowed the 3DS version of LM1 from a friend when it came out and nope, still a snoozefest. Just to clarify that I did play the game again after the GC era, so I’m not judging it on fuzzy memories and my taste from when I was 20 years younger. Yeah, the bosses may have been cooler in concept, but never in execution.
