Kotaku: Luigi's Mansion 3 Developers (Tanabe, Ikebata) Promise Better Bosses And More Puzzles
- Thread starter CGiRanger
- Start date
Mario Strikers 3 is probably what I want most from them, but I'll take whatever they make, whether it's a new Punch Out, Luigi's Mansion 4, or something entirely new they've never worked on before.
I've been waiting for another Luigi's Mansion for over 17 years (finished the first one literally overnight when I bought it launch day with the GCN), missed out on Dark Moon because I'm not really into portables (they really should've made it a Wii U game then ported it down to 3DS) so the thirst is pretty strong. No idea of a release date, I'm hoping sometime 2019 at least.
I don't think it's a bad game but It's one of the few Nintendo sequels that I was incredibly disappointed in. It's my fault for not reading anything about it prior to buying but I expected Luigi's Mansion but bigger and more varied. Instead you fight the same ghosts for most of the game and because of the mission structure you play through the same area's multiple times. And the lack of human ghosts just really brought the game down for me.
Can't wait for 3. The new gameplay mechanics look like a lot of fun.
Luigi's Mansion 4: Dracula's Castle
Bosses include all the classic horror monsters. That's a pipe dream of mine
This says a lot because despite that LM2 had issues with the mission structure, pacing and handholding, it was definitely a much better game than the original.
The fact that they're building-up from the first one and implementing all the technical improvements from the second is really promising.

I had no idea Miyamoto was involved with LM2, but it honestly explains a lot.
Wow ,i must be one of the few people who was cool with the mission based design of LM2 :/
It really is a great game and defnitely isnt bad like some people say it is to me. I actually enjoy it more than 1 (which also was great). Still im.happy portrait ghosts are back

I have extremely high hopes for this game. I think it could be the absolute best in the series and an overall amazing game. Hope I'm right!
Ya'll already showing out, based on the E3 footage, you don't have to excite me anymore lol. This is gonna be great, I can already tell. Still very much dug LM2, btw. More so than 1, I feel.
He gets Brownie points for Mother 3 and this.
But what happened to Paper Mario I can't forget.
(Hopefully, he got the memo and the next one is better).
It's pretty clear what the fans want. Either Mario Strikers or Punch Out.
He can, but that doesn't mean he should. Though if it means he won't be able to pester Retro with Sylux and the Federation all the time I'm fine with it I guess lol.
Honestly, give them another shot at a Metroid, this time a single player game. We won't be getting Prime 4 for a bit, but it'd be interesting to explore 3D 3rd person and hopefully in a better way Other M did.
Federation Force was a waste of potential for them. Though I suppose they could also make Hunters 2 to go along with Prime 4
Edit:
Actually, yeah now that I think about it, I think Hunters 2 (multiplayer focus with SP campaign) would be a great way to get more MP on the Switch and more Metroid, and they could use what they learned from Federation Force
But this is getting off topic lol
Good to hear - some of the checkpoints in Dark Moon were terrible, and actually made me rage quit and never finish it.
Clearly a Mario Strikers X Touhou Soccer crossover! Between the two groups the soccer field would be a crater in the ground!
I can't agree with this. We're getting Prime 4 and Metroid 5 is seemingly coming. We never get Mario Strikers or Punch Out. Let some of these other series get games too.
I'll agree on Punch Out for the sake of diversity, but I'd rather more Metroid than Mario Sports.
I mean... Tanabe already produced Sticker Star and Color Splash. So that's exactly what he did.
Maybe he'll listen to the feedback now tho. I do feel like Nintendo has been making the right moves with a lot of their series.
I'd say Mario Strikers is a distinct brand different from most Mario Sports titles.
Well I'll take your word for it, I've never played the series. However I do think it'd be cool if they were put on an IP other than Mario. Maybe a splatoon spinoff or something
It really is. Nintendo would've never made a Mario soccer game the way Next Level Games made it. It's unique in the way it is compared to Nintendo's other Mario sports games.
Thank effing God! Worst part of Dark Moon, it killed the game's pace and made me hate the game.
Also I'm hoping for lots of hard to find collectibles (no hints! I want them hidden better) and extra challenges to play the game longer. Story probably will be similar length with previous games but some good post game content (collectibles are good enough for me) would make the game worth its price.
I don't believe they showed a boss in the Treehouse segment. If you're talking about the Kaiju thing, pretty sure that was a miniboss. The boss in the E3 demo was awesome.
I'd like a new punchout.
Or, in general, something that plays to their biggest strength: characterization in animation, especially facial expressions.
There's an...edge in Strikers that isn't in other Mario Sports games. Just look at the intro compared to everything else Mario
It's why I keep making a joke about crossing over with Touhou Soccer. Both only involve soccer in the loosest ways and both involve moves that seem more about causing harm to the ball (and others) than it actually is about playing soccer/football
It's where this gif orginated
He probably shouldn't, but I assume he's multitasked as producer. He was producer for Paper Mario and Federation Force. Those had development time lapping.
You'll learn to love Sylux. 😎
Not impressed with the gameplay as the moment-to-moment seems identical to LM2, but without the bite-sized mission structure. Instead we get floors to explore, implying a linear level based structure. The simplicity of the level design and puzzles reminds me of the Lego game I bought on Wii U, which is absolutely crushing to see.
Cool to see Nate though!
