Luigi’s Mansion 3 to launch on October 31st
- Thread starter It’s Time To Go
- Start date
Is there a game currently without a date? Xenoblade 2's December launch date wasn't finalized until the September Direct as well, but it was a title that had been without a concrete one.
Town? That's the only thing from the top of my head I can think of.
bayo 3 also doesn't have a date. (lol)
yea I could see a port announced in sept for December. Maybe w101, though I'm starting to think that's getting an outright sequel. maybe Pikmin or MPT...
December could also be random 3rd party stuff, depending on panzer dragoon, witcher III, FF8, FF:CC, silksong(?), etc
I remember Dead Space 1 was scheduled to release on Oct 31 2008. Scary survival horror game, made perfect sense. But then apparently they realized that in order for everyone to have a chance to buy their copy in time to actually play it on Halloween, they should probably bump it up to Oct 15... so at the last minute they did exactly that.
If they are gonna release it on Halloween, I hope they do a good spooky commercial or at least one with the production values like Dark Moon got. Not another let's show gameplay while a very friendly narrator describes everything you do in the game.
Count Chocula? It's all about the Boo Berry cereal.
I didn't know we were only talking Nintendo games. And Town is only coming to Switch as of now.
Looks like it's doing a bit of both, probably more on the Dark Moon, which should be expectedLet's hope this is more like the slay original and we don't get a 2nd helping of... Dark Moon
Very excited for this. Creating a list of games to play Halloween night, but honestly, I'll probably wind up only playing this lol
December is the N64 Mini.
let me dream
It doesnt matter when it releases really, I'm excited regardless, but releasing it on Halloween is ridiculous. It should have released in the 2 weeks or so leading up to Halloween, not on the day itself.
It'd be like releasing a Christmas song on Christmas day, or a scary movie on Halloween. It'd work obviously, but not the way I'd want it to.

That would be amazing. Like the Jungle Green N64, right?
Sadly, Gooigi Joy-Cons are probably not planned, since it looks like the purple and orange ones will fill the Halloween niche
No other 2019 first party games are undated. Detective Pikachu 2 and Animal Crossing are 2020 and Bayonetta 3, Prime 4 and BOTW2 don't have dates.
The week before wouldn't really be that much better as that's the release week of CoD, The Outer Worlds and Medievil. Yes, they're not direct competitors for Nintendo as they're for other platforms but they do take over some mindshare that could affect sales. Early October (something like the 11th) would probably be better as there's even less scheduled for then, but maybe they couldn't make that date without cut corners or severe crunch or whatever.
I still don't think 31st October is a bad date at all - right now it's the only major new game releasing that week, and a Halloween release for a spooky game works well for marketing. On top of that, the previous games in the series did just fine releasing outside of the Halloween window anyway so I really don't think people are just going to stop buying this just because it's no longer October
I didnt know how much I wanted this game until E3.. it looks darned good.
As for a December release, a port of sort is expected.. I could see it being aimed more at the mature audience since LM, Sonic x Mario, Pokemon are mostly aimed at the younger audience...
I would absolutely love for it to be Metroid Prime Trilogy.. but who knows at this time. But since Pikmin 3 port was supposed to be a thing this year it's probably that.

If we get Wii U ports in both December and January.. I'd like it to be games that came late in to the consoles lifespan and people definately didnt buy. Looking at you Tokyo Mirage Sessions and Paper Mario :P
Oh easily. The 3ds entry already did 5.75M. This one should easily do 7M, maybe as high as 10M if it is received very well.
Preorder Luigi's Mansion 3 w/ Glow in the Dark Steel Book
This looks awesome, but sadly it's only available to preorder in Australia so far! :( Hope it makes it's way over to the UK!
