Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is a Nintendo Switch remaster of the Nintendo 3DS game Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It was first announced during the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, and was released worldwide on June 27, 2024.[2][3] The game features visually enhanced and updated graphics compared to the Nintendo 3DS version, greatly resembling Luigi's Mansion 3. It is the second reissue in the Luigi's Mansion series after the Nintendo 3DS remake of the first Luigi's Mansion and the second game in the series for Nintendo Switch after Luigi's Mansion 3. The game retains Charles Martinet's voice clips for Luigi and Mario, after he retired from voicing the characters and was succeeded by Kevin Afghani starting with Super Mario Bros. Wonder.[4] The game uses its European name, Luigi's Mansion 2, in all regions, including those that originally used the name Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It was developed by Tantalus Media, who previously worked on The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.
Changes from the original game
Gameplay changes
- The map is displayed at the top-right corner due to the Nintendo Switch's lack of the bottom screen.
- The Dark-Light Device meter is displayed over Luigi instead of at the top-right corner.
- Missions are displayed on the left side while the mission description and score are displayed on the right side.[5]
- HD Rumble has been added for certain actions, including sucking up ghosts.[6]
- Motion controls are now utilized for adjusting the camera.[7]
- Playing ScareScraper online requires a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, rather than being tied to Nintendo Network as with the original release.
- The game is locked at 30 frames per second, as opposed to the original game's uncapped frame rate (which could range from 30 to 60 frames per second).

Text changes and localization
- The empty file slot was changed from "Empty" to "New Save File".
- Characters' head icons are no longer in the dialogue, instead displaying their names like in Luigi's Mansion 3.[8]
- With the exception of Boothoven below, the names of ghosts and locations, as well as the ghost descriptions in E. Gadd's Vault and Professor E. Gadd's recounting of selling King Boo's portrait in a "garage sale", rather than a "car boot sale", are taken from the North American version of the original release in all English-language versions.
- The Boo in the mission Sticky Situation had its name changed from Ooga Booga to Boothoven, a nod to the classical composer Ludwig van Beethoven, as the Boo is hiding in a piano.
- Some of the end credits are different, including but not limited to a note at the beginning saying that it is "Based on the work of the development team from the original Nintendo 3DS version", a mention of Tantalus Media (credited as simply "Tantalus") instead of Next Level Games as a developer, and crediting Shuntaro Furukawa as Executive Producer rather than Satoru Iwata.

- The imperfections on wood elements are visible instead of smoothed.
- Gold Bars have stars on them.
- Beside the top screen of the Dual Scream, the dark shape is now clear and shows that they are pinhole patterns of the speakers resembling the professor's face.
