I played the original at least 4 times before I got a new game for my Gamecube back in the day. That was my first game.

I wonder what the realease trailer gonna look like? Rest assured my cousin gonna have a heart attack when he see's this. He been looking up this for years! Only to find random fan art.

I was thrilled when I saw this as well. I loved completing the first Luigi's Mansion several times. I thought this game was good for either 3DS or Wii U. The only thing I don't like is waiting until December 2012 to play it

Holiday 2012 could mean November or even October at the earliest. I'm hoping October somewhere around Halloween as that would be most ideal. They could market it really well then. Either way my guess is this game will be the earlier Holiday release, while Paper Mario will be the December 2012, closer to Christmas release.

This game is going to be unbelievably awesome, calling it now.

Wait so if there's a punch-out!!! Reference what would it be? I hope it's more then just a quote.

I hope Doc Louis shows up as a ghost.

Seems like we'll be getting DLC or something for the game.
The game sounds too scary though.
Dark Moon scares the bejeezus out of me because it sounds like that Twilight film, New Moon.

Here is a link to a side by side comparison that IGN put together of Luigi's Mansion and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon.

Ugh, why couldn't this be an August release? xD
Then again it would be neat to get this on Halloween. xD

I can't wait for this game to be released already. "Lugi's Mansion: Dark Moon," and, "Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate," are my most anticipated 3DS retail titles of 2012. I guess 2012 will be a great year for dark and gothic themes.

even in the context of Luigi's Mansion, calling a Mario game gothic will never not sound silly

@kkslider5552000, why's that? That's exactly what gothic represents.

that doesn't contradict my point. It sounds silly even if it's true.

I need this game. I do feel that this title, like the original Luigi's Mansion, sustains a creepy ambiance. I am so excited to own this. I'm especially excited for playing it on a 3DS XL. <3

I wonder if they are going to bring back this song. i know it can get repetitive after playing through the whole game with that song but it does a good job in setting the tone and feel of the game IMO. Also the theme kind of grows on you.

I would love to see this return, the memories!

I'd guess that the Luigi's Mansion theme will return during a weird segment where you play parts of the first game near the end of the game. (see: Kirby's Adventure, Startropics 2)

I didn't hear Luigi humming in this game sadly, loved that in the first one. :c
Hopefully they'll put it in with a similar theme like this., also loved how his voice changed slightly depending on his health. xD
EDIT: You know what they should do that'll probably never happen? Include the original game as an unlockable or make it an eShop download or something. xD

The more I think about the title of this game the more i think of this...
