A visually enhanced version of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, originally released on Nintendo 3DS, is currently in development and coming to Nintendo Switch in 2024!

 

[Saber]

Thats cool stuff.

.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Yes!! Can't wait

This game deserves an audience bigger than it had stuck on 3DS. I found the controls to be very unintuitive

 

[Killer8]

"Visually enhanced" but the framerate is still as terrible as ever

 

[Sojiro]

Great game! Not sure if I will grab it unless there is new stuff added to it since I have it on my 3DS.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I tried playing this game twice and both times dropped it a few hours in. Not like the first game at all.

 

[amigastar]

I've played the original on 3DS but the saving system was so weird i didn't continue. You basically don't know when the game saves.

 

[Nautilus]

Nice, but this direct was too port heavy for my tastes.

 

[Edder1]

Makes no sense to not do a remaster of 1 and 2 and just do the second one.

 

[Holammer]

Hard to tell from such a short clip, but it looks like it lacks the visual shader extravagaaaaaanza of LM3.
A relatively straight port of the 3DS version?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Yaayyy another port!

Spoiler

I really enjoyed this game on 3DS. It was my last game before upgrading to Switch. I have very nice memories being on a business trip in Tel Aviv and playing this in my hotel.

I honestly couldn't finish it on 3DS. I just thought the controls were so bad.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

This one is just being sent out to die, absolute weakest of the series and with no 3D gimmick there is nothing special about this game.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Without the 3D, no thanks

The wonderful thing about the original was the feeling of live dioramas inside the screen, it was a fantastic effect and use of depth.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm not expecting this one be as good as 3rd game since this one is much more mission structured from I can remember.

 

[Gambit2483]

Hopefully they can do this in the same graphics style (or close) as Luigi's Mansion 3...It needs to at least be 60fps

It doesn't launch until 2024. They have plenty of time to polish the visuals.

"Visually enhanced" but the framerate is still as terrible as ever

Yeah, I definitely noticed that. Hopefully they can clean that up, because Dark Moon (as best I can remember) was actually super ambitious!

I'll still always have a fondness for the original, as I like the ghosts all being much more unique.

Also, I wouldn't mind if after beating the game, if you could actually roam around the mansion(s) in each game and appreciate them in the daylight.

 

[Robb]

Cool. Decent installment, but I'd say 1 and 3 are better.

 

[swarley64]

I played the 3DS game back in the day. It was ok. There's a lot of other games I'd want them to remaster before this one.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Possibly the best game in the series. It runs circles around the weak, boring original, and it's more straightforward and less gimmicky than 3. If you favor gameplay over presentation, LM2 is the best hands-down.

 

[Nautilus]

Yeah, its often regarded as the weaker of the three.

But I played it and though it was excellent. So I still believe it is worth a try.

 

[Camreezie]

Bundle it with 1 for £40 like they have with pikmin 1 and 2 and im in

Truth, but more love the series gets the better.

Highly fucking underrated.

 

[93xfan]

Yep. Seems very "end of the generation" to me

Even so, was sad to not see F-Zero GX

 

[Codes 208]

But why 2 and not the superior 1?

Or both??

 

[Bridges]

Exactly what I thought. 1 is leagues above 2. They should've brought both over.

1 still looks amazing to this day, visually ahead of its time, especially for a launch game. Dark Moon is fine but it lacks all of the charm of the first.

Plus the level to level system didnt work well for a luigis mansion game. I was happy that 3 went back to the classic floor to floor (without being zapped back to e.gadd's every five minutes)

That was the worst part! Completely killed the sense of exploration and connectivity the first one had.

I still haven't opened my copy of 3 but I've heard it's better than 2.

You should try the third game..
It's even worse

 

[drotahorror]

Wonder if they'll have coop similar to 3?

LM3 is still my favorite but it's the only one I played

Can't wait for LM2 though

 

[peronmls]

What about Ocarina of Time 3D or Majoras Mask 3D. I don't understand Nintendo's choices sometimes.
