Earlier this year we reported on the news that Capcom and Sega were working on an arcade semi-sequel to Luigi's Mansion, which features first-person, ghost-busting gameplay.
The game's official site has now gone live, along with a trailer which gives you a taste of what the final product has to offer. The final name is Luigi Mansion Arcade, and strangely there's no mention of Sega anywhere. Sega had previously stated that the game would be demonstrated on its stand at this year's Japan Amusement Expo.
The arcade unit comes with full-sized plastic Poltergust weapons which must be used to suck up all kinds of ghostly beings. You can view some of the gameplay in the trailer below, as well as a second video which explains the mechanics of the game - in Japanese, naturally.

The final name seems to be "Luigi Mansion Arcade", not "Luigi's..." at least according to the trailer
Bring this to Wii U and you win E3 Nintendo...You win it, even after Bethesda killing it with Fallout 4 and after your own epic championship.
I hope Toad is still in it
@Spectra_Twilight
Arcade game trailers have existed for years, in fact, they existed long before home console game trailers.
This looks perfect for the Wii U.
@Spectra_Twilight Once you've been to Japan you will get why there are trailers
Capcom? So this was the deal struck to have Ryu in Smash?
@Spectra_Twilight They have an English trailer for Mario Kart GP DX. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KcdQNwc8MM
Wow I never thought a trailer could be ruined by excessive text but there it is
Love how Luigi just hums along to the music on the second trailer.
Time for this, Pokken Fighters, and Mario Kart Arcade GP DX to be released for 15 bucks each on the eShop. I bet Luigi's Mansion works great as an on rail shooter.
Whoa, Luigi's Mansion FPS... I would dig that.
@manu0 Luigi's Mansion is known as ''Luigi Mansion'' in Japan, so that's why.
There are a lot of arcade games out there which I wish had console releases. Given that the technology to reproduce the experience is more or less standard now it should be cost effective enough for companies like Sega to make the ports.
Looks like they just slapped a Luigi skin on Elebits, the 9 year old Wii game. I don't think it's even worthy of being on the Wii U. Well maybe if it has gyroscope controls like Splatoon w/ the tv getting the whole room and the Gmaepad workng like Captain Toad minecart levels. Maybe an $8 DL or free w/ the Luigi amiibo.
Try not to jump? Luigi cannot jump on Luigi's Mansion, it should be easy.
@rjejr
So this won't count as the Luigi's Mansion you wanted if they announce it on Wii U?
At least it looks fun...
@sinalefa - Not in those videos, no. It doesn't even look like a game to me, it looks like a shooting gallery. OK, shooting gallery can be a game, I really enjoyed Elebits, and Link's Crossbow Trainer, but I want Luigi and NFCs and exploration, this looks on rails, if that. Which is fine for an arcade game, that's how those work, put in a quarter, shoot a few things. At home I want a story.
You should see all the bad stuff I wrote about DOOM this morning for its lack of anything that interested me, despite looking incredible.
Looks fun! I love on-rails arcade shooters, hopefully this will be released on Wii U at some point.
I bet this'll be at Dave & Buster's
Bah, this'll never make it west. Shame.
This has just joined F-Zero AX in machines I must own before I die...
Bring it to Wii u please.
Why cant this be in the US?
