So according to the introduction of the story, E. Gadd used to own friendly ghosts that worked for him in his lab until the Dark Moon, which I assume is a power source, somehow spilt and caused the ghosts to become mischievous and rebel against E. Gadd. The professor contacts Luigi to help him capture the ghosts and restore the Dark Moon, and the adventure begins.

I believe King Boo, who was somehow freed from his painting, got revenge on E. Gadd by breaking the Dark Moon in an effort to free the ghosts from E. Gadd's control just as the portrait ghosts from the first Luigi's Mansion were freed from E. Gadd with King Boo's help. And it seems like Mario is not kidnapped again, so thankfully there's not another damsel-in-distress plotline.

/me smells plot twists

Did they show it in the Nintendo Direct? I must have missed it.

The boxart is ok. Game looks good.

Would this be it, by chance?

yup

That's awesome! Can't wait!

It looks really nice.

I'm expecting us to get it around March. Near the Europe release.

Hopefully..... I dont want to have to wait until Spring

what would make this game great if all the mansions were as big as the mansion in the first game

Screw the box art, I want the dam game.

I love the boxart. Heck, sometimes that's part of the deciding factor for me to get the game. But yes, that's the boxart, I suspect it'll take like 20-30 or even more hours to complete the game, seeing as there are many mansions(at least that's what I heard) a plot twist does sound inevitable, and it'll probably take longer for those of us that will go through and find every... last... secret in the game. Every time I see a trailer for this, it looks better.

This game will definitely be lengthy since not only are there multiple mansions, but there are missions for the first time too.

Hopefully it will take WAY longer to beat than Sticker Star which I hear takes about 30 hours to complete. I have a feeling that the Devs had this in mind considering that one of the main complaints of the original Luigi's Mansion was that it didnt take that long to beat. Also, is it just me or do the graphics look a little better since that last trailer was released

A friend has told me that theres a demo coming to the eShop after Christmas? Can anyone confirm this.

I'm so desperate to play this game just to get a feel of it and compare it to GameCube version.

I don't think a demo has officially been confirmed yet.

But yeah, the game should definitely be longer than the first one. The multiple mansions thing was probably the best decision Nintendo has ever made in regards to this game.

also it has missions. This could actually be a genius way to have a ton of content, optional or otherwise.

I sent Nintendo an email asking if they could send me a review copy of the game.

That's awesome. What was their response?

I wouldnt get my hopes up if i were you because i think 30 hours for a luigis mansion game is HIGHLY unlikely, let alone way more than 30 hours. My guess is there will be about 6 mansions taking around 3 hours each so approx 15-20 hours to beat. Just a guess, but we'll have to wait and see.

It would be amazing if it took that long though
