Read details on the game below:
Luigi wins a stately mansion, but he’s in for a ghastly surprise when he creeps through its front door and learns that his magnificent manor is teeming with ghosts. And worse yet, Mario is nowhere to be found!
Enter Luigi’s Mansion, where a gallery of ghouls haunt the halls, secrets wait to be unearthed, and Luigi is … not the most courageous character around. Luckily, Professor E. Gadd is on the scene, and he has the perfect tools for the occasion! Play as Luigi, capture ghosts with the Poltergust 3000, track his items and whereabouts with the Game Boy™ Horror device, and help save Mario from a frightening fate in this action–adventure game originally released for the Nintendo GameCube system in 2001.
With Luigi’s Mansion joining Nintendo Classics, all three games in the series can now be played on Nintendo Switch 2, including Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3. Take all three adventures for a spooky spin this Halloween!

very cool, but there are 2 games i really want on the online+
- eternal darkness
- star fox adventures
Star Fox will probably come at some point, not sure who owns the rights to Eternal Darkness these days.
Eternal Darkness is still a Nintendo property and they could release it whenever they wanted... if they wanted.
I wish Nintendo would try again at an actual horror game like they did with Eternal Darkness.
im not the biggest fan of remakes but eternal darkness is a great candidate
great game, have you played it before?
I like the idea of this service, but the input lag kills it for me. And it's sad that younger people, or older people who got rid of their CRT/Gamecube years ago, can't enjoy these games at their best.
For those who have a good understanding of why input lag continues to be a problem, do you think we'll ever get to a place where it's inherently no longer a part of emulation?
If they ever add Mario Kart Double Dash!! with internet play capabilities I will probably buy the Switch 2.
Zoinks!!
