8 Nintendo Direct Announcements We Still Can’t Get Over

Luigi’s Mansion Remake for 3DS

Biggest Surprises From The Nintendo Direct

We don’t think anyone saw this coming, especially for the Nintendo 3DS. That’s right, the original Luigi’s Mansion – yes, the game that came out way back in 2001 – is coming to the 3DS this year as a remake. Well not so much as a remake, but a straight-up port. The game is essentially how you remember it on the GameCube but with a few little features thrown in, like having the mansion map on the bottom screen and a boss rush mode.

Luigi’s Mansion would have been a great addition to the Switch library of games, but Nintendo seems to be waiting until their online service begins before they add virtual console to the Switch, which we understand. At least now, the first Luigi’s Mansion and its sequel are both playable on Nintendo’s handheld system, so that’s cool, right?
