After Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3, it’s now the first game’s turn in the spotlight. Nintendo has announced that Luigi’s Mansion will arrive on October 30th for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers on Switch 2. And no, this isn’t the 3DS remake by Grezoo but the original GameCube version that was released in 2001.
That means you can experience where it all began, from obtaining the Poltergust 3000 and cleansing its four areas of dastardly ghosts to treasure hunting and eventually saving Mario. While praised for its new ideas, visuals, and audio, Luigi’s Mansion received its fair share of criticism for the short playtime and low replay value.
Still, as part of Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, it’s worth checking it out for historical purposes (and Halloween celebrations) if nothing else. For more details on the other games, check out our reviews for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3.
