Nintendo's latest Direct dished up a few spooky surprises including the announcement Luigi's Mansion 3 was on the way to the Switch in 2019. Later on, we also found out a bit more about the upcoming 3DS release.
In Luigi's original outing - returning on 12th October in North America and 19th October in Europe - players will be able to explore the mansion alongside a friend. You can capture ghosts and even take on bosses together. To play the full story, both players will need to own a copy of the game. To take on bosses, all that's required is a single game card.
The title will also include support for select amiibo. With these you can heal Luigi and find hidden Boo.
Are you excited about the return of the original Luigi's Mansion on 3DS? Tell us below.

That 2nd player looks like the lovechild of Luigi and Slimer.
Do you both have to own a copy?
I want this game so bad. I just got Dark Moon, never played it before... loving it. Loved this game back in the day.
@kepsux To play through the full game, yes, but you can do the Boss Rush co-operatively via Download Play, as I understand it.
Already got this pre ordered a while back. I loved the original, and I can't wait to have it on a portable so I don't have to dig my Gamecube out to play it.
The 2nd player character looks UGLY!! They could have at least put Mario or Waluigi!
This was a nice surprise! Can't wait to play Luigi's Mansion with @immensechicken!
I got a 3ds but i would prefer this on Switch. 3ds already had a luigi mansion game. Don't see much reason for a second own.
Does anyone know if this is in 3D? The sequel was beautiful in 3D.
@123akis Who's this Waluigi you speak of?
@123akis I definitely agree that the second player looks awful, but adding Mario would cause a pretty huge plot hole!
Personally, I wish they’d just have added in a regular-looking Luigi with a different colored hat. Or even Daisy would’ve been neat, and it’d give her something to be in that’s not a sports game.
@dimi I swear they said something like "while you're waiting for the new version to appear..." when they first started talking about this title!
I definitely can't wait for this one since I've only played Luigi's Mansion 2/Dark Moon. It'll be fun to experience this game for the first time.
It's a very good game, I hope it features stereoscopic 3D which worked great on Luigi's Mansion 2.
i mean. its a nice touch but...is co op honestly needed in a game thats literally...well...extremely short.
I believe this does have stereoscopic 3D. I'm sure it was mentioned originally and you can see it on the box art here:

and yet, i was hoping that the first two Luigi's mansion games would be released on the Nintendo switch and not the 3DS.
I’d love to see the 2 system play with one game cart modes come to the Switch. I didn’t run into it often on 3DS, but it’s a darn cool feature.
@Burning_Spear I'm also wondering, this will make the difference between me buying it twice for co-op (looking past the silly blobby second player...), or not at all and just replay it on my cube while waiting for 3.
@Burning_Spear I've forgotten the source but yes this is supposed to be in Stereoscopic 3d just like Dark Moon.
