I have played Luigi's Mansion dozens of times, so even some of the small differences between these versions really interest me. I'm pumped for this.
DuoReview I've honestly only played a little bit of it before. It's interesting. Should I buy the $40 remake or gamecube to experience the full game for the first time?
SquidCake I’ve played the original 14 years ago, as to your answer, it honestly depends, do you want the version with better graphics to play at home, or the less graphical but still beautiful portable version on the 3DS? On a 3DS it would feel awkward, I have yet to play it, but if you wish to see how it originally was, then buy the gamecube version, since the feeling of the controls will probably feel natural, but it’s your choice at the end of the day, I plan to get the 3DS version eventually.
I'd say either is good. The 3ds version has improvements and visually is better in a number of ways, but the controls are a little bit better on Gamecube. Personally I'd suggest the 3ds version.
I'm looking at getting Luigi's Mansion for the 3DS. $40 is quite a price for a remake of a short game compared to the version I can get for the original Gamecube for $20 off eBay. Just wish I could play it portably. Although they did put lots of time and money into making that remake, I just don't know if it's worth the length of the game. Also it's insanely easy to get an A rank on the 3DS version considering coins and other currencies don't disappear as you collect gems, which really ruins the challenge of the game.
SquidCake Like I said above, it’s your choice, you’ll enjoy both in the end, it’s just a matter of preference, it’s not a long game so the 3DS Version isn’t exactly justifiable except for a bunch of more added features, it’s only a matter of preference.
andre, no one else could give such a thourough review comparing the slightest differences between the 3ds and gc versions of this game, i really treasure these reviews.
King Boo is back with a look combined from both of his previous LM appearances
Why can’t he sport that look always?
Héctor Marcano My guess is that only in the game series where Luigi is the main character.
Because he was trapped inside a painting, so he got a crappy replacement, it was not until dark moon that he escapes, he even points out how he was trapped in a painting
My theory is that the gem that King Boo has on his crown is what gives him the power
I just assumed it was another king boo. There are multiple haunted locations in the Mario world.
Wrenchy247, I’m pretty sure that was confirmed to be true. :)
“Luigi's sucking or blowing. You know what I mean” 1:07
Reggie Fils-Aimé 😉
oh yea, we did 😏
Reggie you ledge!
OMG comedic GOLD!
Came across this comment at 69 likes.....nice.
Been hyped for this game ever since the announcement. One of my favourite games of all time!
Reggie, you should have already had access to this game way before we did. :P
Same
Me too.
Wait... "favourite"? You're not the real Reggie!
YES! PAL Hidden Mansion! I honestly think that the people who have the GC version only will get this version just for that.
Thanks for the review!
It's not flipped tho. So its not PAL version. Its the USA version with the PAL ghost spawns and attacks. Still nice but, flipped (and darker) was crazy. Not to mention you can't get A rank on your first playthrough in the PAL version, there was A LOT more cash in the PAL hidden mansion. So for an A rank you were required to play through twice.
@@islandmat Still glad that it's not a copy of the other Hidden Mansion though.
Yea that was just embarrassing, the differences are basically unnoticeable to most players.
I mean to be fair, NA's version of the original was always super dark, he (or another yter, I forgot who) mentioned that the PAL's Hidden Mansion darkness is the same as NA's standard darkness
That being said, having the flipped mansion would have been so cool, but I'm satisfied with the difficulty increase
Can't wait to finally be able to do that Hidden Mansion Boolossus fight
I wonder if they kept the earrape room? x)
Basically, the Hidden Sealed Chamber had about 8 pink ghosts spawn all at once. It was loud.
I can't wait to play Luigi's Mansion with the even greener guy
Green Mario and even Greener Mario.
I can’t, I don’t have friends that like Nintendo.
Green Bronze Luigi teased for the next Mario Kart!
Green Emerald Luigi
The green mario cosplayer
The last time I was this early, Luigi's Mansion was a gamecube game.
So?
I never got to play the original because the GameCube was the one Nintendo console that I never had. I love Dark Moon though and can’t wait to experience the original on 3DS!
You're gonna love it, Dark Moon and the original are so different. I'm glad some people who grew up with Dark Moon are enthusiastic to try the original instead of being biased 😁
Be prepared for one of the best games of all time. It's the one game I go back to all the time.
I enjoyed Dark Moon a lot more than the first even though I played the first one before Dark Moon came out, only the mission system I disliked in the sequel. The first game is really short.
Dark Moon just never nailed the atmosphere. The gameplay was pretty good, but the missions got really repetitive and capturing ghosts is way more satisfying on Gamecube.
RadJacob exactly.
Isn't that the grass texture from Ocarina of Time that they're using?
Yeah I noticed this game borrows a couple of textures from Ocarina 3D & Majora's Mask 3D, which isn't all that surprising honestly since it's made by the same team.
Lmao
Yep it's getting more common than ever before.
You mean oot 3D because there two totally different, unrelated games.
Also he’s talking about 3:53
Ghost 1: "What's going on?"
Ghost 2: "It's Luigi, he gone from suck to blow!" *gasp*
nice Spaceballs reference
Time to play Loogi's House again.

Dear god
I just woke up and I have a wonderful surprise from the best channel!
EDIT:The game is so good! Perfect remake and it's nice to play through the whole game with my brother!
Me to
Lol me too
I’m in the middle of class and I saw this, I had a mini heart attack.
Me too between class i'm looking for a part 1 of the remake on RUclips
Fantastic review and incredibly thorough! Looking forward to playing this one again on the 3DS, absolutely LOVED the Gamecube version! :)
The Nintendo Power Couple I remember seeing you guys in cnds channel
I look forward to you two talking about the game as well!
@@vincentmonaco5365 awesome! That was back when he was lined up for the Switch launch right? :)
@@robertwilliamson2856 we cannot wait to get our hands on this one! Haven't gotten to play it yet but loving positive reviews so far!
Yes I rember that
9:30 That's all I needed to hear!
Aster07 unfortunately not flipped though, It is in no way going to stop me from buying the game, but always playing the PAL version I feel a bit spoiled
Reggie Fils-Aimé hey, at least it’s harder, that’s really all I’m asking for
Oohh wow!! I wasn't exited for this at all because it just looks like a worse version of the original game, if it's actually harder though then hell yeah!.
Never got to play this as I didn’t have a GameCube. I’ll have to pick this up so that I am all ready for Luigi Mansion 3!
Can’t wait for Mario Sunshine on the 3DS!
No. Nobody wants another downgrade
Master Rosie maybe Wario World?
That sounds enjoyable but to much space 4 ds... maybe switch
I would be ok with that, but I would much rather have a bigger upgrade for the Switch!
lol that would probably be nearly unplayable with all the moves you can (and need) to do. If Luigi's Mansion felt a little bit clunky, I can't picture what sunshine would be like.
Melody is one of my favorite fights in the game, having the ability to rebattle her is one of the best things to come out of this remake. But I do love all the improvements~
great comparison of the new version to the gamecube original. a really well thought out review
2:57 did anyone else notice that Luigi is holding the poltergust with both hands like in the beta of the original game?!
Thats cause hes low on health and to my understanding, thatll happen
You mean flashlight
5:01- "the lightning is just as striking as ever"- thanks Andre. That was a brilliant pun! Chuggaaconroy would be proud!
Let's go, my fellow ghost busters! I'm so excited to play this game again, and I'm so glad they included features from the PAL hidden mansion! Also we really have come full circle with this game being in 3D now!
Luigi’s Mansion made me come to like Luigi more than Mario. He’s terrified nearly the whole time but presses on out of love for his brother. Mario may be fearless, but Luigi is courageous.
I totally agree with you ^_^ Its Luigi Time
Definitely getting this one! I enjoyed the original on my Wii a whole lot, and I'd love to replay it on-the-go ;3
It is definitely amazing putting a classic gem on the go ^w^ yay
I'll be picking this game up, since my original copy on the gamecube doesn't work anymore due to the disk being all old & scratched up since I got the game at launch & this is the perfect chance for me to finally experience it again since I haven't played this game in nearly half a decade & it's nice that I get to play this game on the go. I also think it'll be really cool to finally play this game in 3D, since the original game was built with the intention of being in 3D, so it'll be like I'm finally playing the game that Miyamoto originally visioned it will be like.
Same, I've tried cleaning my disc multiple times. Mostly the tooth paste method, at least that worked with my Spider-man 2 disc
@@prowlingtiger2226 yeah i fixed Simpsons Hit & Run with toothpaste too lol
you get used gamecube games online at gamestop
@@ezr6478 Yeah no. I really don't trust GameStop in terms of buying used copies, controllers or consoles from them.
@@metashade4218 That's weird when I get used copies there just fine, don't really understand how that can happen.
11:30 Still to this day my favorite credits theme in any Nintendo game.
Is the hanging Luigi in the attic still in the Game ?
I hope so. Heck, make it even creepier looking.
Since he mentioned that furniture no longer cast shadows with the flashlight, I doubt we'll see this "Easter Egg."
I doubt it, since objects no longer cast shadows and that was just a lightning glitch.
Nope. Shadow effects are gone. It's not possible to see it here.
Shadow effects are gone with the flash light. They still occur when lightning flashes though (the 3DS can handle a few seconds of the effect, unlike a constant effect with the flashlight.) You can FAINTLY see the effect once you get to the telephone room, unfortunately, due to the size of the textbox...you can barely see it.
One of the remakes best features is that the pal version of hidden mansion is now on 3ds! Where in the old one it was practically the same
the graphics in this game, im lovin it
PAL Hidden Mansion? That's all what i needed to hear!

I’ve played Luigi’s mansion on the GameCube 5 times and beat 2 2 times and pre ordering 3 and buying the remake this weekend
I'm glad there's much less dust now. It always annoyed me.
I never played luigis mansion on the game cube so im very looking foward to the game on the 3ds
yay, I've been looking forward to yall's review.
As someone who has never played the original game, and loved LM2, I’m so going to pick this up. After that, BRING ON LM3!
I've been waiting since yesterday for your review and now it's here!!!!!
I have played Luigi’s Mansion hundred of times, the hard challenges were easy, the only difference of the remake is hidden mansion. The ghosts will appear randomly at any room. I love Luigi’s Mansion and I have to say, this remake made this game better and I like it.
Sir mind if ask you ?
Should i Replay the original Luigi's mansion before playing the 3ds remake ? or should i dive right into the remake then replay the original one
I just finished dark moon recently and i was wondering which one should i pick the original or the remake because last time i have finished the original one was like 5 years ago
This is one of my favorite games, I’m not a big fan of some of the changes but I’ll get to support Luigi’s Mansion.
Luigi's mansion my favorite Gamecube game I still play it alot.Gonna see if I can get this game tomorrow.
I never had an opportunity to play it on Gamecube. I want to give this a try sometime.
Luigi’s mansion is my favorite game of all time, and I’ve been playing it since I was young. I still remember all the times I spent as a kid playing it over n over. It makes me really happy to see get remade like this :D
I'm so excited to finally be able to play this game after 17 years. I had a GameCube back in the day (and still do), but was unable to find time to do so. Thanks for the review! I'm glad to know this version will be giving me an almost identical experience.
But isnt it possible you got an A rank on your first time because you like luigis mansion and have played it before, not because you could pick up coins you dropped?
Gatekid3 lmao exactly, this dude likely got both gold diamonds (40,000,000$) which is basically 2/5 of an A rank, but oh no, the 16 coins he picked up is what skyrocketed him to 100,000,000$ smh
Even then, apparently an S rank was added, so theres still a whole new ceiling to reach
Gatekid3 yup but I think the S rank is only available in the hidden mansion (150,000,000$, the normal mansion doesn’t go that high up)
ah, ok, that makes sense.
LOL, y'all really like that dial change! it's on two videos already...
When I get up at 9 tomorrow I'm definitely gonna pick this up
I've been itching to replay this game for a very long time and now I can and I don't even need to buy a game cube this time.
I can't believe it's been almost twenty years.
The fact that Nintendo was so committed to re-capturing the personality of Luigi's Mansion in this remake(?) (Port? Remaster? 3DS conversion?) Makes me even more excited for Luigi's Mansion 3. I love Luigi's Mansion and I love Dark Moon, but the things that make them both good are very different and the two styles feel rather divorced. If Luigi's Mansion 3 combines the best of the original with the best of the sequel then it has the potential to be better than them both.
11:20 same it is amazing bro
I'm so excited for Luigi's Mansion 3! ❤
(LM1's credits theme is still so good!)
Man I love Dark Moon. Its one of my favorite 3ds games. Never played the original much when it first came out so Im looking forward to this one.
Really happy to hear the hidden mansion is in the remake, looking foward to it! Although I did have a question, if you scan the luigi amiibo, how do you get the golden bones? Do they work like they do in dark moon, where searching random items can sometimes grant you it, or how do you gain one?
Pretty in depth review
I'm not too surprised that luigi's mansion even got released on the 3DS because let's just be real here at one point it was going to happen because of nostalgia value and possibly a new generation is also at hand next thing you know if they release super mario sunshine the internet is going to explode
Super Mario Sunshine can't run on the 3ds, it's too weak. Sunshine is a very open and large platformer, not a slow paced adventure game that already has graphical and framerate issues.
not to mention the need for precise controls. A c stick, or second analog stick is necessary.
I don't wanna see Sunshine on the 3DS. Luigi's Mansion is fine. If they did Sunshine, all these cunts would be screaming at people that use the 3DS like it's OUR fault.
The use of the 3DS nub was my biggest concern. I immediately noticed how weird it was to use in other games.
Sweet, sweet childhood memories, here I come!
Luigis mansion is one of those sagas that you're glad they existed so nice there is even one game that innovates.
Achievement spotted! Now I understand it
Great review
I kind of miss those ominous spikes on the area doors, and whatever that was that was glowing over it.
Arent they still there?
It's almost that time. Weegee's Mansion 3DS Remake is coming tomorrow. I have played DM but, it would be nice to try the first one. Unfortunately the "R" button on my 2DS (original not the new 2ds xl) is messed up and also IDK if CAN play it if didn't have whatever the New 2DS XL got that the original didn't. I need some advice.
That is the vacuum button
I recently got a new 2ds xl and this was the first game I got . I have been a huge Luigi’s mansion fan for a long time.
"It's fun to see how various objects react to Luigi sucking or blowing.. you know what I mean"
_heh_
"Blinding ghosts up and reeling them in is still a *blast-"*
_OMG_
Amazing review. I've played the gc version and I'm excited for the 3ds version.
I can't wait until Christmas to get this
I'm so excited for this! LUIGI'S MANSION and LUIGI'S MANSION: DARK MOON are my all-time favourite guilty pleasures. They're awesome and fun beyond words.... 😱👻😂
Yoshi Todo I wouldn’t really consider them guilty pleasures. You shouldn’t feel guilty for playing such an amazing game. Dark moon isn’t that great in my opinion but still
Now it's time to wait for Hotel Lui- I mean Luigi's Mansion 3.
I'm getting this tomorrow i only beat luigis mansion one time and thats when it first came out on gamecube i probably won't even notice the changes.
Brilliant review as always! Keep it up you guys
I really hope the 3rd game brings back the dark and spookiness of the first game. >.
fair review! well done 👍
What happened to the ‘Does Luigi Still ‘Hang’ Himself in Luigi’s Mansion 3DS? (Shadow Glitch)” video you guys uploaded about 10 minutes ago???
It should be there!
The differences with the Hidden Mansion mode pretty much sold me on getting this port
Both the GameCube and 3Ds version looks so amazing and so much fun to play I wanna play the 3Ds version I played the GameCube version there Both so amazing 💚
So, real talk, for Luigi's Mansion 3, do you think it's a given that Professor E. Gadd and King Boo will be back in that game? I figure they're both staples of the series by this point, though I kind of want to see Waluigi somewhere in the game, too. It's weird that Waluigi's rival hasn't been involved in any of his solo games so far, not to mention I feel like by now, Nintendo realizes there's an audience wanting to see more use out of him. That aside, I hope we get more variety in unique ghosts in the third installment, that was one of my biggest gripes of Dark Moon.
I really like Luigi's new walk cycle
Question: How did you get the game before release? Or did you cover that in another video
Review copy from Nintendo
Cool. Didn't know they would do that. I wish I could afford the game, or even the 3ds itself. I played the original LM 53 times (Literally) Sad that I cant affort any of the sequels or remakes
been waiting for this, let's do it
"Sucking?" "Blowing?" Count me in 😏
Wait is it coming out today? Or tomorrow? And if tomorrow is it gonna come out at midnight as soon as it turns October 12?
Him saying "nearly 20 years later" made me feel old. The game came out the same year i was born
Man! Y’all Europeans are lucky with your version of the Hidden Mansion on the original. This would be our first time that we Americans can play your version of the Hidden Mansion.
I’m happy that now I can play the first one on the go and happy to play PAL version of the Hidden Mansion. Can’t wait to play Luigi Mansion 3 on the Switch!
Hey, we needed some compensation for getting the game fifteen years after everyone else ;)
VonFirflirch Lol! Right! XD
The US 3ds hidden mansion is not the same as the original pal hidden mansion, it’s easier
The Luigi’s Mansion 3 devs need to just rip off the ghost designs of the first game.
I can’t stand the art style they’re using for the new one. So generic
In terms of atmosphere, its one step forward and two steps back.
Hey Andre, i noticed that Neville's heart quote is slightly different and added on from the original. Is that true for all of them?
Can't wait for tomorrow :)
As one of the many people who love the Gamecube version, I am hyped to be able to go back into the mansion yet again on a portable console like this. Can't wait to get my copy!
Switch is portable too..
YES! I'll finally be able to feel what it's like if I were playing the PAL version!

Thank me later😆
Nice maymay
I played the 3ds version and I will tell you I love it x3
Is the "Luigi Dead Shadow" in the 3DS version?
keynan martinez you do know that that was a graphical glitch... riiight...?
probably not, they said it was a lighting glitch in the original and they've completely changed the lighting, can't be sure
Still disturbing though.
Also the 15 minute glitch was fixed in the 3ds version, kinda sucks but meh
Welp the hidden mansion sealed the deal for me.
Yo, this actually looks kinda tight; they kept all the ghost designs, new features, utility of the second screen...
What ticks me off though is people just constantly saying "WHY ISN'T THIS FOR SWITCH WHY NOT 3DS IS FUGLY" like they're an authority on this sort of thing. You don't just conjure up a game, even a port, for the latest and greatest in a line of home consoles, because even if you can carry it around in a tote bag, the switch is still a complex-ass home console.
And besides, as lame as it missing a few effects are, did you miss the tons of new shit? The only way to experience the PAL hidden mansion in NTSC? A revamped gallery with boss re-fights? Challenges? New animations? I'm not gonna be deluded and say those make it objectively superior, but it's a remix on the original, with a bunch of new stuff to interact with rather than some better effects, and this version isn't irredeemably ugly if it *is* inferior, so each version has a plus, no two ways about it.
And if that's not enough to sell you on it? It doesn't look good? That's all good, no one's got a gun to your head and forcing you to like this and shun the original. But don't tear away an option for other people under the logic you could just magically conjure up an even better version on the switch, because that's not how that works, especially if you want everything remade in HD instead of it just being upscaled; systems and consoles are far more different than just the heft of their CPU.
And what, would you rather we had nothing? Would you rather this never came out and we didn't have ANY new version of LM1? Plus if it's so easy to just replace this with a port to the switch, why not ask for a Switch port in ADDITION to this one; why does it have to be one or the other? If you're gonna get heated about this, might as well direct that effort to a more constructive route so everyone can have something, rather than shut something down and make it out to be objectively worse because it doesn't suit your tastes.
Iunno, people acting like this SHOULDN'T exist just rubs me the wrong way; why take all this effort and throw it away because it's not exactly what you wanted? Why can't we have both this and a switch ver.? If it's such a perfect idea that nintendo just needs to think of for more than 5 seconds to get on board with a switch port of LM1, why wouldn't they do it? They clearly don't HATE the switch, so if there's any obstacle to making an improved port like this to the switch, they should be told that it's worth overcoming that obstacle to sell one to the fans, rather than just self-destructing at the idea of muh 3DS version.
diortem emirp It really is quite disturbing that people can't understand truly how good the 3ds is, and how it was the perfect handheld to put Luigis Mansion on. Also switch users will be getting the 3rd game, this remake was definitely just a teaser for that and they honestly can't complain.
I agree with all your statements. I watched a guy named Josh on Bitblock, and as much as I respect the guy, he does get a little bit disrespectful regarding everyone's tastes. As I read your comment, he instantly came to mind. I was 14 when I discovered Luigi's Mansion, and was about 15 when I bought Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon with the money I earned shoveling driveways. I'm 21 now, and I still love Dark Moon because it was MY FIRST Luigi's Mansion game. Yeah, I have a few critiques on it. But it's still a great game. And I know I may never get a Switch, since they're expensive as Hell, but I am so grateful that Nintendo gave us this. I just beat it, and got an A Rank on my first playthrough. I'll always prefer the original, and I'll be there when 3 arrives. But for now, I'm gonna play the 3DS version again and again.
NotARacist but think of the potential if you were to play this game on the switch. It would have better graphics, better controls, and it could of had all that the 3ds version had and more. Also the switch needs more games, and the 3DS has a huge library of games already including a Luigi’s mansion before this one. The only plus side I see to it being on 3ds is that it is 3D
I honestly don't mind getting a A ranked mansion on my first walkthrough since that seemed to be the hardest thing in the original game. Though, it's gonna be tough to pick either the original way to catch ghost or with the strobe light from Darm Moon, since i liked that way too.
I just got done playing Luigi’s mansion the old and new one
I honestly really like how I can still collect money with more time when taking damage. I always try getting Rank A in the game so that's why.
I actually know why the Luigi's Mansion remake is being made for the 3DS rather than the Switch. Well, I have the answers below.
The reasons why the original Luigi's Mansion is being made for the 3DS rather than the Switch is done for budgeting reasons. It's actually more expensive to make an HD console Remake more than a handheld game and they got more money to spend on other games they are working on that even we don't know of, yes I know the Switch is a handheld too but the Switch is also a console too and that is where the expensive part comes from when making the game in two modes.
So because of that, it would cost a LOT of development time to make and they would likely make it from the ground up to make the game fresh in graphics and Nintendo would lose a lot of stock money if the HD remake didn't sell very well, even the original GameCube title didn't sell very well from what I found out which is 3.60m copies worldwide, then again the GameCube also failed but not as worst as the Wii U though, even the GameCube is still a good console even today. Dark Moon sold at about 5.32m worldwide and the 3DS is a more successful handheld device as that is selling way more than the Switch at this point. So it's much smarter they put it on the 3DS rather than the Switch. Luigi's Mansion 1 is also a short game so it's rather more suitable to put it as a handheld since console games are usually a bit longer and powerful to handle in its memory storage, putting a short game on a console would seem rather wasteful. Technically all Luigi's Mansion games are handheld so it's basically consistent, Luigi's Mansion 3 is also handheld when it comes to the Switch's mechanics. Plus, purchasing Switch games are more expensive than 3DS games. It's very likely they are using the Dark Moon Engine for easy processing. Like we're going to pay $79.99 for like a 4-5 hour game? That would be quite unfairly expensive, to be honest, and that would cause some major complaints. Yes, it's disappointing but hey what can we do about it? On the bright side, the remake will have new content such as a Boss Rush Mode and Amiibo support.
The other reasons are because most people played the second game and don't realize that Dark Moon is the second game in North America which is apparently a translation error. So as the March Direct revealed the remake for the first time, It was said to be made so people who have played the second game can now experience the first one since they haven't originally because of the lack of GameCube sales and that is even more consistent in a way too with Dark Moon so that now makes them both handheld (even though the first game was a console first). Yes, the graphics are a downgrade compared to the original, but we got Luigi's Mansion 3 for the Switch coming in HD so that makes up for that either way, so it's better we got a remake of the first game than not having it at all. Luigi's Mansion 1 was originally going to be 3D but with glasses for the GameCube but it got scrapped altogether. So the 3DS brings back the concept minus the glasses which is even better so it makes things easier without a requirement.
I hope we get a Remastered Version of Super Mario Sunshine.
Me too I do really hope we do ^_^
You know, getting the PAL Hidden Mansion is almost a similar feeling to finally getting the Final Mix versions of Kingdom Hearts.... Something you hear about, but couldn't experience without importing. I'm glad it's here in this version.
