First launched on Nintendo 3DS, Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon is making the jump to Nintendo Switch on June 27. The Switch version, dubbed Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, enhances the charming adventure with refreshed graphics and quality-of-life gameplay updates that bring the game closer to its sequel, Luigi’s Mansion 3, while keeping the 3DS original’s content intact–including all the same puzzles, enemies, and even the ScareScraper multiplayer mode. Preorders for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD are available now.
Our Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon review gave the original game solid marks for its charming characters and atmospheric levels, though its lack of checkpoints and difficulty spikes made the adventure more challenging than expected. However, thanks to the Switch version’s graphical and gameplay tweaks, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD looks to be the ideal way to experience Luigi’s second ghost-hunting adventure in 2024.
Of course, Luigi’s Mansion 2 isn’t the only game in the series available on Nintendo Switch. Luigi’s Mansion 3 launched for the system back in 2019, and is considered by many the best game in the series. If you haven’t played Luigi’s Mansion 3 yet either, you can grab the physical edition at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, or Target.
