I enjoyed the 1st and 3rd Luigi's Mansion games but never had the 2nd during the short period I had my 3ds before getting rid of it so I was definitely interested even at 60 bucks. However as I went to preorder the new Zelda game I realized both it and this game were voucher eligible so I effectively did pay 20 dollars less than full price for both games.
I had no issue with the pricing if they had also included Luigi’s Mansion 1 with this game and released it as a dual pack similar to how Pikmin 1 & 2 and Bayonetta 1 & 2 were released
I don’t see how they were able to put one of the best looking games on switch at $40, but then one of the worst looking games at $60. I mean it’s not terrible, but still it is not great.
@@mr_m4613 weaker compared to Luigis Mansion? Yes, it's technically a six degrees to Kevin Bacon "Mario" franchise game. But it's still Luigis Mansion, not exactly a system seller.
@@ryanventer9221 Luigi mansion 3: 16 million sold Metroid dread: 3 million sold Metroid prime remastered: 1.6 million sold. Even both of these metroid games combined couldn't outsell Luigi mansion 3.
Definitely getting this one. My young son latched onto my copy of Luigi’s Mansion 3 last year and beat it over the summer, he will be thrilled to dive into this one.
@@PhotoJohn80 but look at it this way, what if there wasn't a 3DS version, why would they start the price at 39.99? Its a switch game therefore it would be 60 dollars anyway.
It’s a wonderful game, but the asking price is ridiculous! Especially when compared to something like Beyond Good & Evil, or even the Metroid Prime remaster. 60 bucks for a 3DS port is not OK Nintendo 🤡
Played this on 3ds, was ok. Luigis mansion 3 is my fav game out of series, with first one coming in second.Would of considered this if it was at a budget price, but at current price, just a rip off
Loved Luigi's Mansion on GC. Loved Luigi's Mansion 3 on Switch and was going to get this to complete the collection. But not at that price Nintendo, it just ain't happening.
@@euanjones7117it’s $60 in the US, and it’s not worth that even if you never played it before it’s still bad value. I can’t put new wheels and some leather seats in a 2001 Corolla and then claim that full 2024 price is a fair value lol
definitely shouldn't have been a full price game. With what little they did even 40 would be pushing it...of course I still ended up picking it up (so I suppose I have no right to complain, lol) I do wish they had upgraded the controls, feels a bit like playing old school Resident Evil tank controls.
@@spedmonie416I mean, that’s illegal. I mean I pirate games, but I don’t think you should pirate games you can currently get and especially not new games.
i've been playing this for a few days now, it's a glorious revision to the middle child of the series. the frame rate could be a little better, but the overall experience is so 1:1 with the original that it feels wrong to nitpick (anything beyond the price).
@@Owen-m9f3w Lol shutup, dingus. 30fps is what dark moon was locked to on the 3DS. it's reasonable to assume that a technological advance would have been made over the last decade. but improved visuals are fine too.
I'll pick it up eventually but not at that price, but I look forward to it, hopefully next on the reverse HD trilogy, they'll remake/remaster the original title, now that would be awesome
I feel 1 and 2 should have released together. Love the freedom of 3 but the charm of 2 is un matched. 1 had the darkest feel. Nintendo need to balance this into 1 experience.
This is a tough one. I really liked the first Luigis Mansion. I never played this one because i just didnt care for the 3ds. I prefer playing off a TV. I have the third un the series but have been holding off playing it until I could get my hands in this one. This looks cliser to OG, which I prefered style-wise. I would put the value rating much higher due to my circumstances. Still, Nintendo could ease back on the prices a bit, especially after a game has been out for a year or ten.
I haven’t even finished 3 but it is a fun game. For the price, Nintendo knows their fan base and they could charge $70 and it would still sell like crazy. Shop smart with your wallet people or sail the seas.
Not as impressive as LM3, but still so CHARMING! Feels like the kind of game Aardman Animations should be making... A Wallace and Gromit game in this style would be great!
I started this after finishing the original remake back on my 3DS but never finished it, as I don't have the 3DS anymore this has been a no brainer of a purchase for me.
for me the biggest crime of this is that it didn't coincide with the original also coming to the switch. 2 and 3, but not 1? 🤔 for me thats really the only one I like as I prefer the one big mansion and linear gameplay to the later two.
Thanks so much for the review. Never owned a DS/3DS but will probably wait for a sale. Maybe it will permanently drop in price below $50 but who knows.
Got it on 3ds. At this price, i wlda maybe bought a complete remake with new graphisms and content, but not something that basicalky just had its dust removed . 🤷♀️
I enjoyed this on the 3ds, but definitely not enough to double dip, especially for that price. I only paid around £12 for it digitally so there's no reason it should be so expensive.
I can buy physical and sell it on ebay when done and play the game for around $10 total vs the digital download. WOuld do the digital though if it were $40
Great review, I did enjoy playing this on the 3ds but never finished it. I will probably pick this up physically but will wait for it to drop slightly in price.
I think i still have this and the first luigis mansion both digital buried at the bottom of a draw also with extra thu Upgrade that the 3ds clipped into made this and resident evil revaluations a lot better to play
I am kind of interested in picking up this game because it was fun originally. I know a lot of reviewers were complaining about the limitations in the game, even though that was inherent to the original version.
I bought Luigis Mansion 3 last sommer and i played about 3 hours of it, i dont know why but the game was Not enjoyable for me . But nice review as always
"If i were luigi i would have dunked this ds into the fountain you see behind me.." LMAO oh my that was absolutely golden. And with that dry humor tone too. I will be laughing about that for weeks, thank you!
I hope they add an update where you can see your collectable gems since you can only view them in egads lab And maybe a a brightness slider some parts are ridiculously hard to see in
This game came out 11 years ago at $39.99 brand new. Putting a fresh coat of paint on it doesn't justify the 50% increase in pricing. It's a cash grab from Nintendo.
£50 would've been an instant buy if it was 1&2. Instead I'm going to fire up my animal crossing new 3dsxl (the new 3ds's were twin stick, just tiny!) & play the m both on it again..... In 3d!
£50 download yes... physical its £37.00 in most places... got it for £35. I really like this one, prefer it to 3. But yes should be bundled with first one. Games are subjective, good on people for liking thousand-year door... I hated it, combat awful and the amount of speaking in that - e.gadd speaking in LM2 is nothing compared to that game!

This should have been $40 like Metroid Prime.
Agreed!
Metroid prime is the weaker franchise, that's why it was only 40 dollars. Luigi mansion will more likely sell more which is why its not 40.

With enhanced visuals, lighting and sound effects, creates a more intuitive and engaging gaming experience than ever before

I hope this paves the way for other 3DS games to get the HD treatment like OOT 3D, Kid Icarus Uprising or Fire Emblem Awakening.
The Metroid 2 remake was on the 3DS too. Would like to see that remastered. I never got to play it! Glen
Not for $60
Kid icarus for sure coming next year
I’m playing it right now! So far it’s a lot of fun!

As a non-native English speaker I misheard “hasty remaster” instead of “HD”… But it seems to be a little bit undercooked anyway… 😂
Haha, fair point!
Looks really good. $50 would have been steep. $40 would have been just right. $60 is absolutely too much. Great review. 👍
$20 more than the original 3DS price is insane lol
Luigi Mansion 2 seems a lot of fun, but it also makes fun of my wallet. Will wait for sale.
It's a nice game but, 40 or even 30 bucks seems fairer
I love that RUclips decided not to show me your video until much later and on a different channels video.
That's RUclips for ya
Good game, i love it bc of nostalgia 😅, but it shouldnt be $60, shouldve been like 40
Don't sleep on this game if you missed it the first time around. Fantastic game and helps explain why Luigi is clearly the better Mario bros
Honestly I’d only buy this at $20 and that’s a hard maybe. This coming from someone who loved the 3rd game and the 1st in this franchise.
My first time ever playing this game, I must say I don’t like it. So annoying! Also kinda boring too much back and forth u nail the rest of it
It's much more stop-start than the others. Glen
@@SwitchUpYt it’s not fun. But i will finish it

Please nintendo MAKE THIS HALF OFF!! PLEASE
Not as impressive as LM3, but still so CHARMING!
Feels like the kind of game Aardman Animations should be making...
A Wallace and Gromit game in this style would be great!
The lack of nuance in the lighting actually makes Luigi look like a Wallace & Gromit character. Glen
I'm having a blast with it, a bit annoyed everyone keeps talking about the price though. Buy it or don't. 🤷🏼♂️
Nope... one of my favorite franchises. Will not pay 60 bucks for it. Nice try Nintendo...
Looks like a prettier, more refined game but I'm not going to invest. Thanks for the insight SwitchUp.
Damn I love this game. Price is steep considering everything but if you never played on 3DS it’s worth it
I will probably pick this up at some point but £50 for a remaster is way too much... hopefully they will do a sale for this game at some point
I started this after finishing the original remake back on my 3DS but never finished it, as I don't have the 3DS anymore this has been a no brainer of a purchase for me.
Literally the one thing keeping me away is the price. Aside from the Mario brand I don’t really see the value in this, good game and all.

Final verdict is Nintendo is still charging top dollar for old ass games that they regurgitated onto their system..
Will stick with my 3ds version., offers much more immersion with the depth of field
This is a series I never got into, but I know my partner will love this ❤
I wish it had 1 too
Time to get around to finishing Haunted Mansion 3 I think.
the game looks fab but the price is spooky
I rather play this on my 3ds...
Thanks so much for the review. Never owned a DS/3DS but will probably wait for a sale. Maybe it will permanently drop in price below $50 but who knows.

I'd be happier with the price if they'd thought to add Gooigi, playing through LM3 is so much more enjoyable in couch co-op.
All I wanted them to do was fix the terrible save system of 3DS version. Playing an hour and losing all the progress was not fun.
I enjoyed this on the 3ds, but definitely not enough to double dip, especially for that price. I only paid around £12 for it digitally so there's no reason it should be so expensive.

Enjoyed this a lot on the 3ds and have memories playing it with my daughter when she was small.
But 50 quid is too steep imo
If I’ve never played any of the games in this series…. Should I try it?
In my opinion #3 is one of the best games I've every played.. Top 10 for sure..And I'm a huge Zelda fan.
Great review, I did enjoy playing this on the 3ds but never finished it. I will probably pick this up physically but will wait for it to drop slightly in price.
Got all three games two on 3DS and one on switch. Not sure I would get this in switch but I love the game series.
should’ve been a digital only game for $25.
I think i still have this and the first luigis mansion both digital buried at the bottom of a draw also with extra thu
Upgrade that the 3ds clipped into made this and resident evil revaluations a lot better to play
A gripe is that Luigi looks cartoonish? Wow.
I just hate how they made Luigi a little bitch in so many games. He’s a great character but always skiddish or scared.
I am kind of interested in picking up this game because it was fun originally. I know a lot of reviewers were complaining about the limitations in the game, even though that was inherent to the original version.
Its good they are releasing this HD version, the game needed this for sure
$50😂
Luigi mansion 2 0r 3 which should I buy ?
So wait a year till it’s half price in a sale then 🤪
I did the Eerie Staircase last night. That was tedious!
I bought Luigis Mansion 3 last sommer and i played about 3 hours of it, i dont know why but the game was Not enjoyable for me . But nice review as always
I would say mansion 1 and 2 are more like a kid version of resident evil. I enjoy them a lot more than 3 which I feel exploration was not fun.
Better than 3 but not as fun as 1, but having a blast with it.
Is it worth £37.99?
That's certainly more palatable. Especially if you haven't played it before.

There is a brightness slider if you pause the game go to options and scroll all the way down!
It's Glen who played it.
Will wait for a sale
4-5 years at minimum lol
I have it on 3ds do i need it on the switch? I wish they remade 1 instead
I mean they did remake 1 on 3DS already.
imo 2 is better than 3 or 1 🤷🏻 i love it 🥰
I was too busy having fun playing Dave the diver that i didnt even realize there's a new SwitchUp video. 😅
Oh boy is my boy gonna be excited to hear this one.
Every Nintendo Game costs Like 60€ . I think they dont Care about theyre prices 😂
Yeah, they're quite happy to go with top-end prices. That's for sure!
Definitely a must play
Both games were right there. They should have bundled the first and second games together to make up the value.
Think I’ll play Luigi’s Mansion 3 while I wait for this one to hit the sales
E Gadd is needy, but doesn't do it nearly as often as the interruptions in the first couple of Metal Gear Solid games.
That's very true!
Not really related, but does anyone else feel like Luigi’s Mansion 2 & 3 are too long? They kinda overstay their welcome imo
Yeah, I feel the first one was the perfect length for such a quirky game! Glen
@@SwitchUpYt Not for $60. It is too short. Which makes me wonder what they'll do if they plan to release it by itself.
Not worth its price but I will pick this up because i never played the original and it’s cheaper on Amazon, anyway great review as always guys.
I think this looks and plays fine but could have been priced a bit more appropriately.
60 is way too much for this remake.
This game came out 11 years ago at $39.99 brand new. Putting a fresh coat of paint on it doesn't justify the 50% increase in pricing. It's a cash grab from Nintendo.

Yet it will still sell
£50 would've been an instant buy if it was 1&2. Instead I'm going to fire up my animal crossing new 3dsxl (the new 3ds's were twin stick, just tiny!) & play the m both on it again..... In 3d!
Yeah, it had a little nub on the right hand side - I remember! I played a lot of Monster Hunter 4 with that thing! Glen
£50 download yes... physical its £37.00 in most places... got it for £35. I really like this one, prefer it to 3. But yes should be bundled with first one. Games are subjective, good on people for liking thousand-year door... I hated it, combat awful and the amount of speaking in that - e.gadd speaking in LM2 is nothing compared to that game!
Vote with your money, y’all!
Verdict is the price is keeping me away, not the ghosts
£50 lads!!!! This is bonkers. Who on earth can justify this at the moment?
Yeah, it's crazy!
People complaining about 20$ difference 🥴🥴
No way controls worth 15/20. They were awful on 3DS and they remain awful on Switch.
How do you know the remaster was hasty?
