Luigi's Mansion 2 – Nintendo Switch
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is an enhanced remaster of the classic Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, originally released on the Nintendo 3DS. The version for Nintendo Switch brings high-definition visuals, refined controls, and all the spooky, puzzle-filled fun of the original, updated to take advantage of the Switch’s capabilities. You join Luigi on a quest to restore the shattered Dark Moon, journeying across haunted estates and mansions to bring peace back to Evershade Valley.
The game comprises five distinct haunted mansions, each with its own atmosphere, architecture, and challenges—from overgrown towers and frosty mines to clock factories and gothic-style castles. Within each mansion are multiple mission-based levels featuring puzzles, traps, ghost hunts, and hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. Beyond the main story, there are optional tasks like collecting gems and capturing Boo ghosts, designed for players who like to fully explore and master the game.
On the technical side, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD delivers noticeable graphical upgrades over the 3DS original: better lighting, improved shadows, higher texture clarity, and smoother animations. Controls have been refined as well: the addition of a second analog stick allows Luigi to aim and move more precisely, improving the use of his signature tools like the Poltergust vacuum and flashlight. The game maintains its characteristic mix of humor and light horror, with expressive animations and environmental details that build both tension and charm.
A cooperative multiplayer mode called ScareScraper allows up to four players to team up, traverse haunted tower floors, complete timed objectives, collect treasure, and fight ghosts together. This adds a fun social dimension for those who prefer playing with friends.
Overall, for fans of mystery-solving, atmospheric adventure, and ghostly excitement, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD delivers a strong package on Nintendo Switch: beautifully updated visuals, engaging gameplay, and enough depth both for casual play and for deeper exploration.
