Poll: Luigi's Mansion 3 Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?

I’m on my way to the store right now to get it. I feel like I’ve waited 100 years for a sequel.

Started playing it midnight last night but only managed about a half hour before falling asleep

Looking forward to it.

I really can't decide whether to get it today or wait for Christmas!

This game is going to suck...hehe

Yes!! I'm still saving 20% off all games at Best Buy. I've been super excited for this one.

This is likely a top-5 game of this generation. I would think most switch owners will be picking it up.

Loved the first two but I can't afford it right now. Will definitely buy at some point though.

I thought I was. Turns out, I didn't pre-order it in the first place despite being so sure I had done so. Soo, it really depends if Tesco has any in stock tonight. Otherwise no.

It should be waiting for me just inside my door when I get home...man, I can't wait to play it! Being an adult gamer in a full-time job sucks - I have to stay at the office late tonight for a meeting, so I won't get my grubby paws on it until 6pm at least. Still, so hyped for this!

@FragRed Argos?

I was going to - and probably still will - but I'm a bit concerned about the lack of inverted controls on the Y axis. 30 years of gaming with inverted controls are inside me...not sure I'll be able to play it very well!

Sorry, my wallet isn't brave enough for this yet.

Eh, It came out too late. Maybe next year.

It's just not my bag. Or canister! But I'm looking forward to watching videos about the Easter Eggs and any lore development (In modern Mario? L-O-L) on YouTube!

my copy is waiting for me at home, just need to get to 7pm to finish work. When I get home I will walk my dog as the wife and children are at a Halloween disco party then about 8 I will get to sit down for an hour before the family come home. No doubt the kids will want to see it before heading for bed

Already got it and 4.5 hours in. Currently on the 6th floor. Absolutely loving it but I'm not surprised as I've been a fan since the original Gamecube debut.

It’s waiting for me when I finish work. Gonna spend the night bustin’

The game seems fun, but not in the mood now when pokémon soon is here.

Will get it later on. The main story definitely looks like it was meant for co-op, and I don’t have anyone to play it with right now

My day will be checking out the kids' school costume parades, heading to my work for a work Halloween party.and picking up LM3 on the way home, eating our traditional Halloween dinner at Sonic Drive In, then trick or treating with the kids for about 30 min (we live in Utah and its insanely cold today), then coming home to eat candy and play LM3 with them! They are so excited!

I am already up to floor 8. Loving every moment!

yep, cant pick it up til 1030 am

Already bought it, but i'm too invested in The Outer Worlds to start right away. I will when I'm ready!

Getting? Was predownloaded mate.

@ALinkttPresent you can play as co-op for sure, but the amount of puzzles where you need both at the exact same time is so minimal, and its easy as to switch between.
I think i am a little under halfway and actually feel having two ppl around all the time might actually get a little annoying.

I wish I could, but unfortunately I had to decide between it and Link's Awakening (which I never played back in GBC days). Maybe for Christmas.

Preorder waiting for me when I get home. Cannot wait to play.

I love to buy this but I since I bought my Switch lite only recently I will hold out a bit till I finish some more games on it.
And with Red Dead redemption 2 coming out on pc soon my wallet will be a bit reluctant.

Pre ordered physical. Just need to pick it up at Best Buy.

I want to play the other 2 first on 3DS. Then hopefully it'll be available at a nice price second hand.

Luckily I got it delivered early yesterday so have had 3 hours of being amazed at the improved animation quality and physics in this game. Luigi is so expressive and there are many funny moments inserted here and there with their own unique animations

Yes, yes and a triple yes. I've been waiting for this game for years! I loved LM on the GameCube and I loved it on the 3DS. It's just so much fun. I'm at work right now, but in 2,5 hours I'll pick it up at my local store. I got the steelbook version.

I just really can't wait. It's been a great year for me as a Switch owner. Astral Chain/Super Mario Maker 2/Links Awakening en Luigi's Mansion 3 are a couple of my most beloved games this year.

Here’s the thing, I JUST beat LM 1 on 3DS yesterday, which I’m very proud of. I absolutely love the amount of detail added to even Dark Moon. And I LOVE that 3 is not mission-based like Dark Moon. But I am holding off buying on Day 1 for 2 big reasons:
A.) it’s coming out ON Halloween; I wish it came out like... even a week ago so I could play THROUGH Halloween season.
B.) I’m saving money for Pokémon and WRC on Switch. (And also Death Stranding on PS4.)

That aside, I really don’t have any other reasons for not getting it day one. I think it looks phenomenal and I have no concerns gameplay-wise. Honestly, there’s a very high chance I might even go to Target on my lunch break today and pick it up. It just depends on my mood. Otherwise, honestly, I think I’ll be getting it sometime in the next 60 days.

Was planning on picking it up today at Target w/ the M&Ms and canvas bag to give to my kids for Christmas, but both said they didn't want it as a Christmas gift, would only play it if the other kid got it. And I only wanted to play it if they got it, it doesn't seem like a $60 game to me.

Does seem like a game the library will have in the kids sections, so maybe I'll pick it up sometime next year for a weekend. Redbox near me still don't carry Switch games.

I'll definetly get it but will wait untill christmas (Having so many on-going games and pre-ordered Pokémon is coming soon). Hopefully multiplayer will be nice with the family.

It’s odd really. I was so desperate for LM1 that I paid for it using a big chunk of 5p’s. At the time of LM2 I was an executive producer and just bought every new game as they came out. I barely played it. Instead continuing to play Animal Crossing on flights and in bed (with the partner too )

As for LM3. Nothing is really appealing to me over it. I’d rather replay the first game as I never touched it once finishing it 2 weeks after buying it. I’ve forgot most of it by now and would relish the chance to play it on Switch.

I remember Nintendo once saying (either publicly or privately) that more women than men played LM series. I’ve often had the vibe from LM3 promotional materials that they’ve focussed on women. Which is pretty decent of Nintendo.

I just picked up Saints Row 3 on Switch having played it on PS3 years before (for maybe an hour or two). I’m finding the controls to be pretty terrible but the surrounding gameplay to be moreish and rewarding. I’m also big into Minecraft right now too thanks to the new update and impending PS4 crossplay support.

I've been waiting to see what the file size is, but it seems this is one of those titles this site isn't interested that info on. Some games get their own article link just about the file size, but others you have to wait until you can go check on the eShop. Why not add it into to game info at the top of the page?

I have a list of $80 (Canadian) games that I haven't played yet. I want Luigi's Mansion but I still haven't played DQXI or DQB2 or Fire Emblem or Witcher 3. And Pokemon comes out soon too. And there are a bunch of smaller games like Obra Dinn that I want to play. It's tough but most of these will have to wait.

My wallet is just an empty husk.

My pre-order is late So only tomorrow hopefully.

It’s at home and I’m at work.
I should be home and not at work.

I can’t believe there’s no option to invert the Y axis! I’m playing like such an amateur. There really needs to be an update that can resolve this issue in the VERY NEAR future, kind of killing my gameplay experience.

@m8e3point1415 nah. It’s too spooky for you 😉

Not until they sort out the y-axis.

Been playing for about 30mins now, videos on the internet do not do this game justice. It looks and plays fantastic, my only issue is controls on y axis, giro is inverted, Analogue isn’t. It’s not a game breaker, but in panic situation it can be annoying. Hopefully a future patch will update with some extra control options

I was going to get it today, but had a recent run of expenses hit at once and I decided to wait - sometimes being a responsible adult sucks!

I'll throw it on my Christmas list.

Got it pre ordered but sadly am unable to pick it up until second week of November when I am also picking up pokemon sword

Since most people get paid on Fridays I will be getting it tomorrow lol.

Nah, I played Luigi's Mansion 1 back in the day and I liked it but for whatever reason the idea of a sequel to that game has never really interested me at all.

I’m on the fence with this one

Nope I'll be playing the Ghostbusters remaster instead.

Waiting at the Mailman.. with a bonus Boo-lamp!

It’ll be waiting for me when I get home

If I get home on this haunted evening......

Mine is out for delivery come on ups

Both the wife and I are interested in getting it, but we're both wary due to Dark Moon feeling a bit hand-holdy.

I’ve canceled my physical preorder and bought a digital copy since I now have 2 Switches in my house and we can share games. I haven’t booted it up yet but it looked awesome when my wife was playing.

@m8e3point1415 dude, this is a fanboy website, you just HAVE to say good things about anything nintendo does.
Don't expect to find unbiased opinions nor useful reviews here.

I used my last Nintendo Voucher to get this and Pokémon Sword. Between DQ XI S, LM3, and Pokemon I’m set on games through the end of the year. And what an awesome way to close it out it will be!

@Cartridgemaster :

Yes, I totally agree. I love Nintendo and everything they do is just amazing. I even loved Yoshi's Crafted World....

Played some of the game together with my 4 year old son... It was good craic!

I have not played a single LM game, but I plan to play the gamecube original before any other entry first. Perhaps I'll get this game next year or so.

I'm kind of odd here. I thought the original was decent, but not good and I didn't enjoy the 2nd one at all. They're just not up my alley so I figure on passing

I was actually planning on passing for the time being simply due to being unable to afford it, but my paycheck today includes a raise tied to me upgrading my certification at work. I'll be downloading it as soon as I get home!

@KitsuneNight me too brought that for my Halloween game, it is waiting for me at home 😃

@Tourer145

It's a pretty good if short game
you can finish it in one sitting.
I usually play it around this time of year it seems fitting.

Every time I look at trailers and gameplay, it just looks like it'll have less of what made the original so much fun. And to be honest, it could just be nostalgia cause I don't exactly know what made the 1st one great. Even though it's a 1st party Ninty series about Mario's bro, I feel like the sequels get more and more cartoon-like and lose any sense of eeriness the 1st game might've had.

@WCB 4.5 hours in and already on the 6th floor? Sounds like either this game is pretty short or you've absolutely smashed through it!
I won't be getting it today, haven't got the money... hoping I'll be able to get it soon though!

I already preordered it, but I’m on a business trip and forgot to pack the switch!

I would’ve rushed to the store, but for now, my wallet only has a button and a fly 🙃

I'll get it later. Its not high on the wishlist.

I'd love to get it right now, but I just returned to the Switch with the Switch Lite (after selling my Day 1 console after a year) and bought 8 games in a shoppimg frenzy, so I have to hold myself back on this one. For now, at least.

I will borrow the game from my son, stepdaughter and grand-daughters once they finish it. Of course they bought it physical.

No Princess Daisy as a playable character? No buy from me

@Rebusmind Just curious what did you pick up in this shopping frenzy lol?

Ironically I won’t be tonight as my copy from the Nintendo shop “fell off of the system” and so they had no record of my pre-order. So, I put my faith in Game, and sure enough they too let me down, despite an email & text saying it was there along with the steelbook. Gutted, especially as those scalpers are already selling the steelbook on eBay for £50!

Yes, but now I wish I had waited until they patched in a setting to allow inverting the Y-Axis :-

@CheapCheepBeach
I agree! Daisy should be in this series, ideally as a playable character, but possibly just as an NPC. Give her more to do, Nintendo!
What really repels me from this is Gooigi, though. Slimer Luigi looks unappealing to me, regardless of how good the game comes out.

Played it for a couple of hours and love it - some of the animation is fantastic and hoovering things up feels great, it's had me laughing while I play it. I got the original with my Gamecube and enjoyed it, this feels a lot bigger and better.

I was so excited to receive for Halloween night then found it the shipping has been delayed to tomorrow,, guess it’s a Dia De Los Muertos experience now!

Just never seen the worth of this series. Hard pass.

@Taycam the first few floors are pretty short, plus I haven't collected all the Boo's and gems.

Since Amazon doesn't ship stuff early for release dates and for whatever reason doesn't ship game preorders with your Prime sub, I'll be getting my copy a few days later as always.

@Bizzyb Mainly RPGs, but here's the full list: Ni No Kuni, Tales of Vesperia, Battle Chasers, Darksiders, Link's Awakening (played through it in a few days and traded it online for Dragon Quest 11), Pokemon Let's Go Evoli, Ghostbusters, Final Fantasy XII (which I accidentally bought twice...).
Most were pretty cheap, but still I should take a break. ^^

It's a brilliant entry in the series👻🔦💰🎃

@Rebusmind Nice haul man! With all those RPGs yeah you definitely have more than enough on your plate. Enjoy mate!

Edit: Btw Luigi's Mansion 3 has amazing production values. The visuals alone are damn near Toy Story quality..!
