Back when the Nintendo GameCube hit shelves in 2001, Luigi had the honour of starring in the console’s launch title, Luigi’s Mansion. Fast forward to the 3DS, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon saw Mario’s younger brother exploring several haunted locales rather than just one. Now, here we are in 2016, and writer Geno from Dual Pixels has supposedly leaked a statement from developers about a third Luigi’s Mansion game to usher in the NX system.
The apparent goal of the new, rumoured title is to give it a “‘living 3D cartoon movie’ look with insanely detailed shadows and transparencies.” The full quote can be read on Dual Pixels’ news page. Despite some sloppy grammar that may call into question the legitimacy of the quote, a Luigi’s Mansion game coming to NX is entirely plausible considering that the series’ fan base remains dedicated.
