Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Reviews
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a great enhancement of the original 3DS title. It's by far the definitive way to experience this classic 3DS title, and a perfect supplement to hold over players for a new game in the widely popular series. With the second and third games now available on Nintendo Switch, we can only hope that the GameCube original will make its way over at some point.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is a great remaster of an overall enjoyable 3DS sequel. Though the price point is a bit steep, the visual upgrade and core gameplay make this a solid rerelease of a somewhat overlooked Mario spin-off.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD plays a bit more like a portable game, with origins from the 3DS, but improvements in graphics and gameplay make it worth trying on the Switch. Thanks to new additions and visual upgrades, the HD version of the game offers a fun and spooky experience.

Even if it was outshined by its successor, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is still worth your time. It may not be the GOTY contender that Luigi’s Mansion 3 was, but if you give it a chance, you’ll still find it worth your while.
Ghost catching never felt so good in a spooky yet positive experience. It’s a combination of two themes only Nintendo can seem to pull off. If you have never had the chance to play Luigi’s Mansion 2, then this is the best way to experience the game. There may not be a lot of incentive for players who invested heavily in the 3DS version of the game to return. However, I was left smiling from ear to ear through much of my playthrough playing Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. If your world is feeling a little dark these days, then maybe Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD will shine a light on your day for a few gaming sessions at a time.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is a love letter to the franchise’s devoted fanbase, capturing the essence and charm that have defined Luigi’s Mansion games since their inception. It stays true to the core gameplay mechanics that fans adore, blending puzzle-solving, ghost-hunting, and lighthearted humor in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The HD remaster enhances the visual and audio experience, breathing new life into the game’s atmospheric environments and spooky settings. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the series, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD offers a delightful and immersive adventure that pays homage to the beloved original while delivering a polished and engaging experience.
Luigi's Mansion 2 could boast in its day of being one of the best titles on the 3DS as well as a very good game thanks to its playability and the humor that so characterizes this franchise, but we have to admit that despite the fact that both qualities have not been diluted over time, as it is a remastering of a laptop and not a remake, its humble origins weigh heavily, and it does not come close, at least in the technical section, to its sequel.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is a highly entertaining game, and the remaster enhances the experience with more approachable controls and modern visuals. As such, despite some of its flaws, both new players and returning fans can still enjoy the new package.
It’s nicely brought up to modern gaming visuals by the Nintendo bods but remains at its heart a very strong video game in the Mario franchise.
Overall, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD makes for a great addition to the Switch library. It might not be the most innovative experience or remaster around but the adventure is one to remember. The game will definitely tide us over while we wait for the inevitable fourth game.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has been a great game on 3DS with highly varied gameplay with action, exploring, puzzles and humorous staging. With the HD version on Switch all these strengths remain, while Nintendo ensures contemporary graphics including the visual update.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is a successful leap from the 3DS to the Switch. For me, the remake of the 3DS classic is the best game in the series. Even if it sticks to a more linear and mission based style compared to Luigi's Mansion 3. It's an atmospheric ghost game with a slightly different approach. Instead of being creeped out and fighting for my survival, I can relax and explore different mansions with lots of personality and cute details.

Luigi's Mansion 2 is a delightful blend of spooky adventure, clever puzzles, and charming humour. Its engaging gameplay, atmospheric design, and lovable protagonist make this a classic from the get-go and, even a decade plus later, showcases Luigi as an excellent character who can lead out of the shadows of his more famous brother.
Especially for those who haven't played Luigi's Mansion 2 before, the upcoming release of the HD version - with an overall great atmosphere that is enhanced by the background music and the voices of the protagonists - is the perfect opportunity.
