Luigi's Mansion Reviews
A great new version for one of the most beloved classic Gamecube Games.

With so many unique ideas, it's amazing how much Nintendo got right with this imaginative new franchise when it debuted back in 2001. While the controls aren't the best on the 3DS (a proper second analog stick would do quite nicely), the game still holds plenty of charm.
Luigi's Mansion was great when it first arrived, and this remake is even more polished and complete than the first. There are a lot of problems with the controls in the game, but the creative and diverse gameplay combined with a beautiful bevy of graphics make the experience worth the frustration.
Luigi's Mansion for the 3DS isn't a perfect game, but it provides plenty of fun for a decent price. The main issues with the game boils down to the controls and how it impacts the rest of the experience, but at least it looks good and has plenty of bonus content with the port.
Luigi's Mansion 3DS is a faithful and impressive remake of the GameCube classic, just don't expect much more than that.
Luigi's Mansion remains the classic it always was, but it's little more than 3DS life-support.
It wasn't simple to bring a gamecube title to a portable console, and at the end of its life, but Luigi's Mansion on 3DS has something to tell on this generation of console. Some problems of the original game remain in the porting process, especially backtracking and clunky controls, but they don't ruin the experience with the game.

Luigi’s Mansion 3DS brings the Gamecube classic to the handheld platform, packing in the memorable ghostbusting adventure of the original, alongside some new features
Though it isn’t the Switch remake many had hoped for, Grezzo delivers a solid and well-polished 3DS port. While it would have been great to see the Hidden Mansion alter its content with new areas unlocked, Luigi’s Mansion remains best as a spooky near-episodic adventure, packed full of fun, with moments of humour, mischief and magic. If you enjoyed the original, there’s no way you’d miss this.
Don't sleep on this one, as it's a perfect way of introducing fans to the series and refreshing longtime ones as they await Luigi's Mansion 3 on Switch!
Short but sweet perfectly sums up Luigi's haunted quest. Very little has changed in the transition from GameCube to 3DS, except for slightly inferior visuals and way worse controls...unless using the Circle Pad Pro. With the added benefit of the attachment, Luigi's Mansion plays exceptionally well, and is an enjoyable, if easy, romp through the spooky mansion that really kicked off Luigi's gaming career.
Luigi's Mansion lives again on 3DS!
Luigi's Mansion is out now for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Do you think you will pick this title up? Did you love the original game as much as we did? Let us know in the comments, or on Twitter, and check back for more Nintendo coverage as well as articles on other Japanese games.
Really, it is the same GameCube game with a sprinkling of flourishes here and there for the 3DS.
Luigi's Mansion is one of Nintendo's most unique games.
As far as remakes go, Luigi’s Mansion shines as a 3DS title, leaving much of what made the original so great intact while adding a few things here and there that really make it stand out on 3DS. The visuals did take a few hits, and the controls provided by the 3DS make elements a little more difficult at times, but overall I found myself enjoying my trek through the mansion once again, especially since I could finally see it all in 3D.
It's still a great game and definitely worth playing especially now that it's portable, but it's a shame it was released for 3DS and not Switch.
For the most part, Luigi’s Mansion is a great and welcome port on 3DS with many neat new features and additions to enhance and add longevity to the overall game.
Luigi’s Mansion has received a decent port to the Nintendo 3DS. Nothing more, nothing less. It isn’t the Nintendo Switch port that I’m sure most of us would have preferred, but that does not deter from the fact that this is still a very good game.
