This was excellent. I picked up almost none of this. It pretty much confirms it'll be like the original game and not like dark moon.

Just bigger, better graphics and more powers.

I really don't want them to tone this down. Keep it fairly challenging.

I have a feeling they've each been captured, and you need to find and rescue all 3.

Maybe each one was captured in one of the sections. Luigi was captured and put in the backyard of the hotel section, maybe E. Gadd rescued him? Then Toad is in the next one, then Peach in the next, then Mario in the 4th, and they all team up to face the boss in the 5th.

27 mins from 38 seconds lmao, that's awesome. I'll give this a watch later. I'm super excited for this game.

Honestly though I wasn't the biggest fan of the first (I thought it was okay but it didn't really grab me) and I only got a few hours in.

I thought the sequel looked great, but I only ended up playing a little bit of it - mainly due to me not being super into handhelds.

But for 3, I'm ready to take the full plunge.

Saw this video yesterday. Great video dissecting every tiny detail in that trailer!

I would be both horrified and thrilled to see the Haunted Piano from Super Mario 64 return as a boss for Luigi's Mansion 3!

I do like the idea of Luigi, Mario, Peach and Toad being swayed into staying at this hotel and then they're trapped, but Luigi is saved by Professor E. Gadd and Gadd gets Luigi the new Poltergeist to save his friends.

Here's one thing that will NEVER EVER be in Luigi's Mansion 3 and I won't get my hopes for this, but it makes so much sense considering this one character is Halloween themed and its something I really want. Its putting Ashley from Warioware in Luigi's Mansion and have her be this side quest vendor where she lets Luigi do side quests to collect items or do tasks for her. In return, she'll teach Luigi spells that are similar to the elemental attacks from the first game. It's not happening because Nintendo deems Warioware characters as non-Mario characters despite Wario being right there, but it makes so much sense.

hahaha, this is fantastic. is Luigi's Mansion that good that it inspires this kind of devotion? I never played the 3DS games, but given the quality of weird titles like Captain Toad, I'm definitely interested.

Again, as I stated in my post that you quoted me in, I find Dark Moon to be the better game. However, I felt the production values of the original game to be much higher for a 2001 game comparatively to a 2013 game. I do not mean this as a detriment to Next Level games as I enjoy their games that they work on with Nintendo. I think Super Mario Strikers is one of the better, if not the best, Mario spinoff series. Punchout was also pretty enjoyable. I never played Federation Force. However, Next Level Games titles clearly do not have the same production values as Nintendo's internal projects like 3D Mario, Zelda, Metroid prime, Smash bros., etc. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 director said he considered the production value to be B level, not AAA. The game looks good and far superior to either of the previous games but the art direction and various models are clearly still derived from the 3DS title.


They made a sequel to Super Mario Strikers on Wii.

Comparing a game of 2001 in Game Cube with one of 2013 in 3DS and talking about '' production values '' seems completely absurd to me

putting this on my to-play list. i figured it was good, but 30 minutes devoted to 30 seconds implies a certain level of goodness not all games inspire!

Hell yeah man!

A remake of the original GameCube version comes out for 3DS in a couple weeks, there's also a sequel on the 3DS that seems to be more love or hate due to its mission-based structure (the original just had Luigi in one mansion). I'd say start with the original.

There are some concerns in the Youtube comments (yes, I do check them):
  • The 5 x 7 grids on the shelves at the Reception Desk hints the entire game has 5 stages.
  • The concern is that the game is linearly-structured, so you need to complete 1 stage to progress to the next stage. The last stage may be the 6th stage, or Stage 5,
  • They worried it's not an open-world exploration (or open-building), which is you exploring to the top of the hotel and back down to the lower levels without anything blocking you from doing so.

I don't think the mail slots hint at the number of stages. The first stage alone is 5 floors with at least 7 rooms per floor.

I've created an almost full picture of the Hotel by combining two images of it:

Here are my thoughts:

I count about 7 tiers:
  1. Hotel
  2. Castle
  3. Museum
  4. Pyramid
  5. ??? Music Hall?
  6. Diner
  7. Zuul
It looks like the 4th tier has a facade of a normal building, but the right side has been destroyed, revealing that inside are ancient egyptian ruins. I see 2 columns and the left side of a pyramid. It also has electricity swirling around it but I don't know if that's a feature of that tier or something happening to the whole hotel.

Between tier 4 and 5 on the right side looks like a sign depicting a character or something. Looks like a ninji or something.

Oh wow where did that other image come from? The one without the letters obscuring the middle?

That's definitely a better analysis than mine though, looks pretty reasonable.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had online co-op. Now that their service is up they'll put online modes in just about everything is my guess.
