Luigi's Mansion Reviews
Returning to the haunted estate after seventeen years should feel outdated, but Luigi´s Mansion deserves its rightful remake on the Nintendo 3DS. Not one ounce of charme has been lost in the faithful handheld port as Luigi screams and tumbles through his spooky adventure. With some minor control issues aside, the gameplay is still as it was back in the day.

Luigi's Mansion is one for the fans. If you enjoyed the original seventeen years ago, you have plenty reason to revisit the mansion. Even if you did not play it back then, you should check it out now.
Luigi's Mansion has been succesfully transfered to the 3DS. This old GameCube title has a great gameplay feeling, graphically however it is a bit dated and stiff.

The re-release of Luigi’s Mansion provides the perfect platform for fans who’re looking to re-engage with the series before the tentatively titled “Luigi’s Mansion 3” releases on the Nintendo Switch next year. It was also a fantastic throwback to the early 2000s for a 30-year-old kid who made the error of straying from the path of N, and I relished every second playing this GameCube classic and will continue to cherish the series as a Luigi diehard. All I can say is put your money where your mouth is, and back the guy in green!
Luigi's first appearance as a ghost hunter hasn't lost any of his charm and is still a great pleasure in 2018 - but he's clearly the loser compared to his successor on the same console.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Luigi's Mansion is one of Nintendo's most unique games.
Really, it is the same GameCube game with a sprinkling of flourishes here and there for the 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.
Luigi's Mansion lives again on 3DS!
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.
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!
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.
Luigi's Mansion remains the classic it always was, but it's little more than 3DS life-support.
For someone who hasn't played Luigi's Mansion before, this 3DS port is a good way to have an opportunity to dive in.
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 3DS brings the Gamecube classic to the handheld platform, packing in the memorable ghostbusting adventure of the original, alongside some new features
