[Justin]

Co-developed by Next Level Games in Canada and Nintendo EAD in Japan
Launches on March 20th in Japan, March 24th in North America, and March 28th in Europe/Australia
Available digitally on the Nintendo eShop at Midnight EST in North America
Includes a single player campaign with 5 mansions plus the multiplayer Scarescraper mode with local and online play​

Basically discuss anything about the game here, post any news that comes up, etc. Don't forget this game features multiple mulitplayer modes so I'm hoping for lots of activity on TBT for it! Feel free to add me on 3DS if you plan on playing multiplayer.


Single Player

Luigi's Mansion 2 contains 5 different mansions in it's single player mode. Each mansion contains about 3-5 hours of gameplay which beats out the original by about 5 times.

Multi Player

You and up to three players can team up to take on the challenges of the ScareScraper, a haunted building teeming with ghosts and unique challenges not found in the main adventure. Recruit your fellow ghost hunters via Local Multiplayer, Download Play, or Online Multiplayer—or play ScareScraper solo to hone your skills.

Hunter Mode

Use teamwork and your trusty Poltergust 5000 to completely rid the floor of ghosts before the clock strikes zero.

Rush Mode

It's a race to the top! Pick up clocks along the way to extend your time, as you rush to ascend the tower before time runs out.

Polterpup Mode

Track down those pesky Polterpups with your Dark-Light Device and capture them all before time runs out.

Figured I should put the story intro in this thread then. Don't watch it if you don't want spoilers.

[Officer Berri]

I am soooo very excited for this game. I loved the first Luigi's mansion to pieces and spent my time just wandering through the mansion looking at everything. I'm a really big sucker for games with a lot of little details and that game is probably what started it. >>

I'm really hoping the settings in this game are just as nice and distracting as the first. I'm still a little disappointed in how the ghosts look, though. They're just so... flat. Like the most generic ghost design I could think of.

 

[Jake]

I don't know much about this game but I'm defo getting it.

Comes out here on March 28th.

Idk when I'll get around to getting it. It's not high on my list of priorities of games so I don't think I'l get it on release; as I mention several times, going to the mall is really out of my way and takes up a lot of time and it's not AC or Pokemon so idk why I should get it on release...

I'll probably get my brother to pick it up for me sometime, idno i'll probably get it early April or something.


From what I've seen it looks really fun, I hope I enjoy it

It's almost here! It's almost here! I'm gonna drive for an hour to buy this!! It's almost here!! Wahahahahaaaa!!!!

 

[Officer Berri]

Thankfully, I only have to drive like 5 minutes to Wal-mart OR Gamestop. Probably wal-mart as no one ever buys games from wal-mart with Gamestop literally right next door. xD

 

[Justin]

There's also the eShop digitally. Don't even have to go out into the cold!

 

[Officer Berri]

I'd go digital but I love collecting the games in their cases too much. Some people collect trophies from their accomplishments... I collect the cases of the games I've beat.

...Or will get around to beating. You know. Eventually. *glances sheepishly at original Luigi's mansion* I couldn't beat King Boo. ;-;

@ Officer Berry: You're so lucky! We just moved from a town of 400,000 to a town of 3,000 in the middle of *nowhere*. The closest gamestop, and walmart, are an hours drive away. Be thankful for civilization! We're not here forever though. We're moving to Colorado around July.

@Justin: ... Okay okay so I admit I've been a mini-Godzilla until now on the forums. Griping, a little, and a lot, and being a little paranoid. Or very. Whatever. But I'm still not going to buy from the eShop. Less because I'm not giving into Nintendo's profiteering, as I am unwilling to loose all resale value by not getting the case and cartridge. I go to the "big city" (urgh, maybe 6,000 people?) once every week or so anyways. I'll just make sure my trip's scheduled on March 24th
Also... we need to multiplayer. D:

Here comes NOE's habit of renaming stuff....
Style Savvy: Trendsetters = New Style Boutique
Pushmo = Pullblox
Fluidity: Spin Cycle = Hydroventure: Spin Cycle
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon = Luigi's Mansion 2
What next? no offence, but the game still looks good in my book.

 

[Joey]

This gets me so excited for the game now. I think i am going to get it near enough to the release date.

 

[Officer Berri]

I'll go out and buy it after it comes out. Unless preordering gave me a Luigi hat. Then I'd be all over that.

 

[Justin]

This gets me so excited for the game now. I think i am going to get it near enough to the release date.

Nintendo should hire me to sell it, lol.

 

[Bacon Boy]

I've had this game pre-ordered since it was announced for the first time as Luigi's Mansion 3DS two or so years ago. It's gonna be awesome! I'm excited.

 

[Officer Berri]

Wow! xD I just can't bring myself to pre-order games until they have a release date. Though I don't always pre-order every game I want. I probably won't pre-order this one, but I know I'm pre-ordering New Leaf in a week or two.

 

[AndyB]

I wont be pre-ordering it. But I'll be picking this up. Hopefully getting a 3DS soon too!

 

[Superpenguin]

I'll be getting this game.

 

[Peoki]

Probably won't pre-order but I'll be picking this game up for my younger brother on the 25th.
I hope there won't be issues with stock quantity again, it was a pain to find a copy of Fire Emblem Awakening.

 

[Justin]

I think Fire Emblem was a special case of Nintendo underestimating demand. They definitely know the demand for Luigi's Mansion though.

 

[monokurotsu]

I never got to play the original so I'm excited for this. It looks fun and challenging. :3
