Is it just me, but does the game have a kinda bad frame-rate?

If it's "damn dark", you won't be able to see what's going on :V

I'm looking forward to this one, definitely. I loved the first one, and I can't wait for a release date to come up for this one!

I'm hoping that's just a bad trailer.

Bumping this to ask...is this game really coming out next month like some random poster said on this forum? That would be awesome if it were true. >.>

Nope it's still TBA.

Figures...here I thought that it may be true too. >.>
Nintendo needs to hurry up with these games, lol

I do think it's supposed to be out fairly next year though. Then again, Kid Icarus and Resi are out pretty soon... I suppose they may leave it until May or something.

....I don't wanna wait until 2013 for Luigi's Mansion 2. T.T
(lol, you said next year)

I can't wait! Loved the first one! Now ten years later, the sequel gets released! Awesome! The concern I have about the game is the controls. Do I have to use gyro scope to capture ghosts or can I use the second d-pad? Because if you can only capture ghosts with gyro scope, that would be kinda annoying. Plus I wanted co-op in the game. But sadly that won't happen . But I'm still gonna pick it up day one! Hope it comes soon!

Since there was no mention during the Nintendo Direct conference, this game will be out in the summer at the earliest and fall at the latest.

@ #104: That was probably me that posted about possible next month release....however Someone working for tendy on here said April/May open window.....I actually played through the 1st one in one sitting under 3 hrs. last night and scored an -A- ranking...ahhh the nostalgia. one game that hasn't lost its edge...

what could co-op do for this game? I don't see much to be had from co-op...

So I've never played the original, I love all of the Mario games, how does this compare? Can someone discribe the game and say why the original game is good or not and why I should run out on the first day and buy it? I really want to love it, but don't know much about it.

Have the original...it's fantastic but will not placate me any more.... I am becoming VERY impatient about the wait for this one!!!!!!!!!!!

I just need it. I don't want to wait until mid year for it!

Apart from being set in the same universe, Luigi's Mansion is not much like typical Mario games. You don't jump. Instead, you explore a haunted house, catch ghosts, and find keys to open up more areas of the mansion. It's a fun game, but the original is quite short. To really get a feel, watch some gameplay videos on YouTube or track down a copy if you have something that can play it.

this game is the only reason i bought a 3ds! i cant wait for luigi's mansion 2

The best way to describe it is "Ghostbusters set in the Mario universe."

I'm pretty sure you use the touchscreen to aim the vacuum.

The first Luigi's Mansion didn't use a second stick for capturing ghosts, so I doubt this one would either, especially considering it doesn't have one.

It did when you were capturing Boos, not sure about other ghosts though.
