Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is an upcoming Nintendo Switch remaster of the Nintendo 3DS game Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It was first announced during the Nintendo Direct on June 21, 2023, and is set to be 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.

Differences

Gameplay changes

  • The map now is displayed at the top-right corner due to the Nintendo Switch's lack of the bottom screen.
  • The Dark-Light Device meter is now 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]

Text changes and localization

  • Characters' head icons are no longer in the dialogue, instead displaying their names like in Luigi's Mansion 3.[6]

Graphical changes

  • As the title indicates, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is rendered in high definition, rather than the original version's standard definition.
  • All characters now have new in-game models, more closely resembling Luigi's Mansion 3. For example, Luigi now has visible yellow threads on his overalls.
