Fans far and wide always eagerly await each Nintendo Direct stream. The latest one was loaded with Super Mario games announcements. One of the titles revealed - and one of the most surprising - during the livestream was a remake of Luigi's Mansion 2.
Nintendo announced that it is remaking Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for the Switch at Nintendo Direct. The original game was released in 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS and was a commercial success, shipping over 6.4 million units.
"Can Luigi summon the courage to save Evershade Valley? Explore haunted mansions full of spooky specters and bone-chilling challenges next year," Nintendo revealed during the announcement, though the game's premise shouldn't come as a surprise.
The remake will feature updated graphics and gameplay to be fully compatible with the current Nintendo handheld, as the Switch lacks the dual screens and the stylus found on the 3DS. The announcement for Luigi's Mansion was very brief and only had a 19-second trailer. Nintendo promised to reveal more details about the upcoming title in the future.
Dark Moon is a sequel to 2006's Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo Gamecube. The game won several accolades and is one of the best-selling titles on the 3DS handheld. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is an action-adventure game where players take control of Luigi as he embarks on a mission to explore a haunted mansion yet again and capture hostile ghosts.
