Now for 3DS! I know, a bit old, but dear God this game looks like it will be amazing. Have a load of these screens...

A room, with an old toy car. Looks a bit like some kind of abandoned workshop.

Title screen art. Simple but effective.

A clearer version of the above. I like the window with light shining through, makes it look all eerie and haunted.

Part of the first presentation.

Mummies! There are apparently multiple mansions, including those based on Egyptian tombs and pyramids!

Cobwebs block doors. Nice bed though.

Knights slam down their weapons to try and kill Luigi when he passes. This version seems to have a lot more interactive elements.

Best yet, we have an awesome piece of official art, and the news that there will be multiple mansions to explore! Not just one, many with many rooms each!

Professor E Gadd's lab gets a needed upgrade! Looks shiny!

Like before, you suck up ghosts with the polterguest.

Still, anyone excited for this game?
 
HOLY CRUD HOLY CRUD! This game is going to be amazing, and I LOVE the official art with the menacing King Boo. Looks like he's returning for revenge!

Damn that King Boo looks scary. I can't wait to play this game at night, heh.

Or, since it's portable, make sure the 3DS is fully charged during a thunderstorm at night. There's no chance of the game suddenly getting cut out than, unless it runs out of charge.

Seems like most of the games I wanted to hear about where covered, heh.
 
Well I'm shocked because I didn't think Luigi, let alone Mario, would fall for this twice, but oh well. I'm happy it's coming out. I'll buy it and play it on my friends 3DS if he gets it.
 
Hurray! E Gadd is back!!!!!!!!!

So it'll probably be each mansion will have it's own theme I assume.
 
I kind of hope not. It would be cool, but I like the original so I hope it keeps that. If not I hope it keeps the intensity of the original song.
 
I was a bit surprised when they announced Luigi's Mansion 2... didn't see it coming. Anyway time to save money to buy all the AAA Titles when it is out ^^
 
King Boo looks awesome! As in "I'm setting that pic as my screensaver" awesome.
I sure hope he keeps that look! not just a boo with a crown.

And do those red ghosts remind anyone else of De Blob?

Oh, and can someone rip the trailer music for me? I really want to upload it to Youtube, and it seems no one else has. It's pretty awesome too.
 
My thoughts on Luigi's Mansion 2

It's an interesting concept for the game, and it seems like it might fix many of the issues from the Gamecube version (at least, the length issue and the issue of slight repetitiveness).

But there are some things I'm worried about.

While the idea of many different mansions is a good one, I'm a bit worried that each mansion might be much smaller than the one from the Gamecube original. The fact each house is seperate is another thing, the ability to visit the rooms in different orders made the orignal game rather interesting, and gave it some neat secrets and replay value. The many mansions in the sequel are apparently quite linear, which could ruin this effect a bit.

I have to say though, I really like the style of Luigi's Mansion 2, it certainly feels like Nintendo will be pushing the comical 'horror' feel to its limits. Think about it, we've already seen a traditional haunted house, an Egyptian style pyramid and a house with various suits of armour and what not, as well as all kinds of rooms (like potentially a library, with the books) that weren't anywhere to be found in the first game. Maybe a haunted hotel where a ghost smashes down a door with an axe like in The Shining? A haunted town? Maybe ghost versions of other monsters from horror films and the genre, like ghost vampires or ghostly zombies (we already have mummies confirmed as enemies in the game)?

The original was already a kind of survival horror parody (note the door scenes making fun of the Resident Evil games), so maybe the sequel can mock some of the other aspects and settings from games in the genre.

On another note, this ONM UK article said something quite interesting:

http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/27264/luigis-mansion-2-gameplay-preview/

Apparently, Luigi and E Gadd are now in the ghost hunting business, and hence why they're exploring various different houses to take out the spirits haunting them. It also said there's a creepy intro to each area where Luigi basically gets atomised and rebuilt in the house via way of a CCTV camera. Presumably, like the intro to a Super Mario Sunshine level.
 
I would love co-op as E Gadd. That would be so fun!
 
Why not with Mario? Unless he got captured again... Which I hightly doubt Mario would... Right?
 
More gameplay footage

The guy recording is awful at using a camera though.
 
HE ZOOMS OUT WHEN THE GOOD PART HAPPENS! Also, the guy playing mustn't have played the first one, heh. I mean, he's just sucking up the ghosts without pulling that control stick.
 
I love seeing all these trailers in 3D. (3DS downloaded)

I can't wait....... so according to my get list....

1. Ocarina of Time
2. Paper Mario 3DS
3. Mario Kart
4. Super Mario Bros 3DS
5. Luigi's Mansion.

Gah........ I can't stand this...... 5 great games...... not enough money.....

But anyway, in Luigi's Mansion, can someone tell me what was the difference between the Mansion and the Hidden Mansion? Hopefully for some sort of bonus there will be more Mansions for fun.
