Luigi's Mansion 2 (3DS)

I think it's something Nintendo is working on. Probably a successor to the 3DS, the only Nintendo console worth owning right now.

Hmm that would be a good idea.

This game is so adorable I wanted to hug it within 5 minutes of starting it.

The lack of a second analog isn't as big of a deal as you would think. A lot of the game's pace is kinda slow and relaxed, and there are two ways to aim up and down (use X/B or tilt). Getting stuff is not hard at all.

I liked the GC original, was worried when I heard that they farmed this to a third party (Next Level Games, they did Punch Out Wii and Mario Strikers), but I'm digging this even more than the first now.

Luigi has 4 fucking buttons assigned to calling out "Hello" in different scared voices. SO CUTE!!!!

Can't wait to play this! I loved the first despite the whole world seeming to poo-poo it.

I'm gonna have to wait about a month, though. Soul Hackers first! Weegee Manshun will have a much bigger print-run than every Atlus game combined Soul Hackers.

I'm really liking it so far, but I do wish they let you map the buttons. The original had kind of a 'tard button set up as well, but there's no reason to press buttons to look up or down, especially when the D-pad isn't used for anything gameplay-related.

Aside from that though, the game is awesome. I don't care that they farmed it out; this is pure Nintendo goodness.

That's the feeling I'm getting - Next Level really did their job well and whatever oversight Nintendo had shows too. This thing it great! I could sit and watch these goofy ghosts all day.

Nintendo rides a company; they make great games.

Company gets a big head and leaves; every game they make sucks.

Someone at Rare just read that and shot themselves in the head.

I picked this up but haven't played it yet. Hoping to get some time in tonight with it. Glad to hear it turned out well.

Mine should be getting here from Newegg today, really looking forward to this one. I absolutely loved the GC original, and it was a game I've been asking for a sequel to for a long time. I'm actually really surprised there wasn't one on the Wii. Considering it had the whole pointer aiming thing, which I think could have worked great with the game.

I keep reading online that the multiplayer is pretty decent. Who's down for trying it out sometime?
