Topic: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

I have to say, you seem like an awesome grandma. Danny is lucky.

I play old NES and PS2 games with my 4-year-old nephew regularly, and I gave him my old 3DS so that he can play some newer games on it (replacing his worn out DS Lite). I love Nintendo consoles because they have no shortage of child-appropriate games that are quite fun. It has become increasingly hard to find similar offerings on consoles from competitors.

That is one of the most adorable things I have ever heard.

I'm going to try and finally beat this game tonight.

Wish me lucky everyone~

Nah man, I wish you the best of focus!

Well I just beat it:

That last mansion, with secret mines coming at a close second, is definitely my favorite mansion in the game. I really liked all the variety found in each room. For some reason, I just loved the nautical and space rooms, they were really neat. :3

The Big Boo boss was so creative! It was a nice nod to the original game's Boolossus battle, albeit much less frustrating (not complaining there). I thought the circussy music fit the Boo's perfectly- as I think they've been associated with that before via Super Mario 64 and the Strikers games. Overall, probably my favorite non-final boss of the game.

I really enjoyed the final battle with King Boo, particularly the running sequences. As epic as the original's? Possibly.

Anyone else slightly disappointed they went with the whole Mario-captured storyline again?
It just seems so thrown in, as that wasn't even Luigi's motive the whole game up until the very end. It all felt a little unnecessary to me.

I loved the ending though, especially with Luigi getting a ghost puppy

Pretty great game~

Well, I finished the game...Dunno if I'll go online at some point but I'm gonna spend some time with that Scarescraper for a bit. (might go online for some of the harder parts, but gonna stick with "Normal" for now. xD)

I still like decapitating bowser with spike balls.

I have the feeling this is the kind of game you get very excited about for like a month, and then just forget about...I guess in part it's because once you beat the game, there isn't much to talk about.

Isn't that the case with... most games? The hype for a new non multiplayer game in general only lasts a few months or so too, just see what happened with Mario 3D Land and New Super Mario Bros 2.

Treacherous Mansion. Loved the style, loved the music, loved the neat cut scenes played in each mission and I thought the Tough Possessor battle (the one with the suits of armour/knights) was awesome. Not to mention the clever puzzles that had you take items through portals, that was some of the best level design in the game.

I could talk about Pikmin 2 and Super Mario Sunshine all day, to name two. The unique thing about Luigi's Mansion is it's a very good game. Super Mario Land 3D and Super Mario Bros. 2 weren't all that great imo, so I don't really want to talk about them.

I want to do a painting in Colors!3D picturing that.

Treacherous Mansion was definitely my favorite, followed by Secret Mine.

this was already on page 3. Inexcusable.

ALSO OMG I COULD GET ANOTHER NEW GAME THIS YEAR, THANK GOD. I have enough money to get games again. Might not play it today but great to finally have this game.

I beat this wonderful little game today myself too. Just decided yesterday to pick it up again and finish it off, having played through the first three mansions in the weeks following release; I put it away for a bit though.

Some of the levels in the title were really, really good. Top drawer design. There was an air of tension in it too, possibly as a result of the lack of checkpoints (not that I ever "died" in the game all that much though). There was little frustration in it either, which is welcome as I do not have the patience for games which are poorly designed or spike in difficulty for no reason.

The visuals, controls, atmosphere and music were all excellent in this game. I really enjoyed the combat, though the "dodge" on the B button wasn't as well implemented as it could of been possibly.... My main gripe with it is the meaningless RPG element - there was no real point in putting the upgrade mechanic in there as it didn't really do much. Really, who got excited when they upgraded the strobe light?? This part of the game could have been better thought out in my view.

All in all though, a superb little adventure. I'm going to get back to it again soon to find more of the boos and gems, and maybe give the online multiplayer mode another go; thought it was okay before, but nothing special.

This is turning out to be one of my favourite games on the 3DS. Wonder if they will bring a version or new one for the Wii U.

Luigi is so entertaining.

Gonna take a while to get used to these controls, I lost half my health to early enemies...

this game showed me the only negative about the 3ds xl: my thumb kept slipping off the circle pad. it needs some texture to stop that.

luigi's mansion 2 is incredibly fun!

SPOILER

So since Luigi kept the Polterpup at the end (which I think was really cool) do you think we will see the pup in the future in some way? I hope so. Maybe like, at least a Mario Kart cameo or something. Preferably with Luigi in some case since I've really come to enjoy his character (and the pup's for that matter)

Thanks what I'm guessing. I'm just hoping in the future they may sort of hint at Luigi still having that dog or something.
