I guess so, though I think here in Japan games like Monster Hunter 4 and Luigi's Mansion 2 would compete with WiiU games, and not be overshadowed by them. I'd just like a bit of news about it, since its been quiet for the past few months.

Hope Luigi's Mansion 2 comes to the Wii U sometime.

It will brother.

I was looking on nintendo's other website's & found this:

Here's the link:

Luigi's Mansion 2
Nintendo / Nintendo 3DS

Ghosts are back!

Who will you call?

Luigi comes with all forces for the second protagonist who is now on the Nintendo 3DS. Much speculation about the sequel to Luigi's Mansion, in fact, we all thought would happen in the Wii. But our surprise was even greater at the time that Nintendo not only became official this new Ghostbusters adventure of green overalls, but would also be designed directly for the 3D laptop.

The game retains many of the features of its predecessor. The design of the scenarios with multiple elements that may-or may not-have interactivity, adding the element of surprise for each of the quarters. Each house is divided by screens, in turn, they will contain the necessary elements to unlock new areas. That is, it is not the type of games that you have to explore all over the place hard to find a key (some of you get to catch all the ghosts in the room), here becomes even easier for you to focus more on fun .

Keeps the game system seen on the Nintendo GameCube version, but now are larger scenarios and other challenges.

This time, the story tells how Luigi was teleported by Professor E. Gadd to investigate multiple mansions that are infested with ghosts. To meet this challenge will have at your disposal a brand new model vacuum Poltergust 5000, specialized in absorbing all kinds of supernatural beings. To do this, first you must stun the ghosts with your flashlight, and then activate the vacuum and begin to absorb the enemy. Of course, you also need skill, because once you've fired maintain stable vacuum to reduce the force of phantom and not oppose more resistance to capture. Another use for this device is to reach items or collect coins and bills.

The release date for this title yet to be confirmed. In fact, much has been said about the possibility of using the Circle Pad Pro to give you the same feeling that GameCube game (which used two analog sticks), but there is no official position of Nintendo. Meanwhile, it is clear that use the gyroscope to provide new forms of gameplay, similar to what we saw in Star Fox 64 3D. In case you were wondering about the quality of the 3D effects, you commented that, simply, is perhaps one of the best titles worked in this case, either the style or visual sharpness and animation elements. Luigi's Mansion 2, far from being a child title is postulated as one of the most creative three-dimensional platform.

Interesting idea with circle pad pro. I hope it makes it to the Wii U to. I want this game to be out now so much.

Huh? I'm not sure what the point of posting a bunch of Google translated text is, especially when it doesn't seem to say anything new.

confirmed release date for 3DS finally. 1/1/2013!

Seriously cant wait. GOTY possibly

I wonder if some of us will get a delivery delay because of the Christmas holidays?

@xBASSxMONSTAx Where did you get that info?

Shop.to emailed me about it. http://www.shopto.net/3ds/3DSLU01-luigis-mansion-2-3ds

Ok... I'm a bit skeptical about this, but ok...

Shop.to are accurate on release dates I find.

Wel, for 2 reasons. First, because it's the first of the year, and the other is because Nintendo hasn't announced a release date yet.

If this is true then we still have some time to wait for it to come out.

If a store doesn't know a game's release date they almost always will place hold either 12/31 or 1/1 of the year.

I don't think this is accurate at all. Not to mention if this were true, Nintendo did an awful job trying to market it.

I just pre ordered from them so if it's not correct, I will hit the roof and go mad!

Even if it actually is true, I'd be prepared to hit the roof and go mad.

lol.

Dam, its out in March Nintendo Direct as just mentioned.

They said Spring 2013, which could be anytime in the period in March through May. Poor Luigi, but I can't complain because Game & Wario will likely be around the same time as well.

The boxart looked really good.

Yeah, boxart looked great.
