    Luigi’s Mansion is a must play if you’ve never enjoyed it before. If you still own the GameCube version, there really isn’t enough here to warrant a new purchase unless you need the slightly updated visuals and ability to take it on the road. I personally believe this game, like it’s 2013 sequel, Dark Moon, is better suited for a home console experience – and fortunately, we’ll all be enjoying Luigi’s Mansion 3 on the Nintendo Switch when it launches in 2019.

    If you've never adventured with Mario's lankier brother throughout his haunted mansion exploits, Luigi's Mansion 3DS is absolutely worth the price of admission.

    Luigi’s Mansion for the Nintendo 3DS is an overall decent port of the original. The fact that Grezzo worked on it guarantees that the final product is respectful towards what the original developers made seventeen years ago. Many new additions and improvements, alongside the fact that the 3D effect is giving us the impression of a 17-year old definitive edition are more than enough for newcomers to the series to give it a shot, yet might fail veteran players who have tried everything the game could give and are expecting something entirely new.

    Once again, Grezzo shows that making remakes is his thing. It may not have been as successful as in other cases, but the adaptation of the GameCube classic to 3DS is quite remarkable. Despite the failures of the control system, it's still just as fun and entertaining, even a little more than the original thanks to the additions.

    Short but sweet perfectly sums up Luigi's haunted quest. Very little has changed in the transition from GameCube to 3DS, except for slightly inferior visuals and way worse controls...unless using the Circle Pad Pro. With the added benefit of the attachment, Luigi's Mansion plays exceptionally well, and is an enjoyable, if easy, romp through the spooky mansion that really kicked off Luigi's gaming career.

    Luigi’s Mansion remains the classic it always was, but it’s little more than 3DS life-support.

    If you really really loved the original, or feel you missed out on a bit of history not playing it at the time, then this game will have something for you. Ultimately this version of Luigi’s Mansion would be better off being left in the time capsule it was pulled out of.

I don´t know why the complying, the game its awesome and this remake I love it. yes the graphics are not the best but 3DS is a portable console so its nice. what else do you want to add to this masterpiece ? leave it intact, this game its too much better than DARK MOON , I dont want generic ghosts and missions. This is the REAL LUIGI´S MANSION. 4 hours are perfect, still fresh just like when i was a kid. THIS IS A REMAKE NOT LUIGI´S MANSION 2.5 thats why we have the Third one coming to switch.. Get this classic in your 3DS you will play it more then dark moon, trust me.… Expand

    A very good remake from the 2001-game Luigi´s Mansion. The only frustrating thing is, that you need two cartridges to play with a friend.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Luigi´s Mansion 3DS es un buen Remake, pero tiene algunos defectos qué lo hacen un poquitín inferior al original.

    En términos de duración es un poco cortito ( 8 horas y yendo tranquilo ) al igual qué la versión de GameCube, cosa qué en Luigi´s Mansion 2 se mejoro muchísimo en este apartado, ofreciendo una historia mucho más caricaturesca, pero más larga y entretenida qué la primera entrega.

    Gráficamente el juego luce muchísimo mejor de lo qué se mostró en varios tráileres In-Game en YouTube, otro ejemplo más de qué para evaluar un juego de manera técnica tienes qué ver el juego corriendo en la consola, y no a través de vídeos. A pesar de esto, con este juego ya empieza a notarse qué la GPU de 3DS se está quedando bastante obsoleta, ya qué hay algunas bajadas de FPS en varias zonas y situaciones dónde hay mucha carga de polígonos. De todas formas, no afecta casi nada a la experiencia de juego.

    Jugablemente es superior al original ( se puede escoger la jugabilidad original o la de Luigi´s Mansion 2 ) ya qué cazar fantasmas y sobretodo los Boo y la batalla con Hércbooles ( Boolossus en Inglés ) es muchísimo más cómoda y divertida, también tienes una serie de logros para completar con lo cuál hace el juego muy re-jugable, pero la única cosa mala qué tiene es la batalla final contra el Rey Boo qué se me hizo tan fácil qué me decepcionó muchísimo, una lástima.

    Si no jugasteis el primer Luigi´s Mansion, yo recomiendo más qué juguéis primero el original, pero si lo jugasteis ya en Nintendo GameCube, este Remake lo vais a disfrutar tanto cómo yo, os lo aseguro.    … Expand
