    They could’ve easily bundled this with the first Luigi’s Mansion even if that was just upscaled and emulated like Sunshine in 3D All-Stars. That would’ve easily have been more worth $60

      Absolutely but this is Nintendo. They'll definitely charge $60 for a Luigi's Mansion remaster (or at least $40). More profit for them.

      People would still complain even if this was a bundle. LM2 HD does more than just resolution bump though. it's like what TP HD did with way better texture work and also higher geometry.

    Metroid Prime Remaster: $39

      Not just consistent with the Price, but also with improvements/features; Prime got so many options that let you play however you want and simulate those every of the Consoles the game was released on, meanwhile Pikmin 1/2 got basically just a bit of Motion aiming when trying to throw or call a Pikmin, but not to the extent of the New Play Control!-versions (which is better by a longshot!). Then we got the Port of Luigi's Mansion 1 on the 3DS which also added some nice features (including Gooigi-Coop for the Story), while Luigi's Mansion 2 basically receives the bare minimum. It's quite a shame...

    I really feel like they should have bundled this game with the first game. The first game was only like 7 hours long and it would give people more of a reason to buy this as you'd get to play from the start of the franchise. Would make the game feel more worth its price too.

      Paper Mario TTYD is the better game between the two and a full remake, but I would reccomend playing LM2 later down the line. Just not for $60, since it is a bit of a steep price for what seems to be a minor 3DS remaster.

      The DS family I agree is a bit iffy whether they'll come or not. It'd probably take too much work to fix the controls for many games. Maybe Nintendo would just be very selective with the games.

    Sounds like a good remake. Especially happy about the improved anti-aliasing and higher resolution. Too bad they couldn’t go up to 60fps too, but that shouldn’t be too problematic for a third person slow paced game like this. As for price, Nintendo is clever here charging $60 for what would have likely been $50 at the start of the Switch lifecycle. Essentially getting that $10 bump that most publishers are going for these days while still appearing to be at the standard $60 price point. Alas, I’ll be picking this up on day one because my wife and I loved LM3 and I’m sure we’ll have a blast with this one too.

I have a 3DS, but don't have Luigi's Mansion 2 Dark Moon on it so it's a great move from Nintendo to bring Luigi's Mansion 2 for the Switch, but only as a HD Remake and the normal Switch game's price a $60 because in my opinion thsi should be a $40 game, of corse Dark Moon is amazing a classic 3DS game and it's nice to see this have a multiplayer mode with 4 players, but still it dosen't need to be that pricy game because nothing can't beat Luigi's Mansion 3 before Luigi's Mansion 4, for me the Score is a 8/10 the good game Luigi: Ooh Noo not again! 💚

  • @xXEPIKgamerXx

    Despite being the first infamous departure from mood and gameplay that makes LM1 remain above it two successors, its a shame that LM2 still has bittersweet semblances of LM1 that make it feel like it would be a much better game if only you could surgically improve on certain obvious flaws like the mission structure or the rendering. Unfortunately they had the opportunity and entirely ignored it, and all that means is this game still remains nebulously tied with LM3 even without the controller limitations or low resolution simply because of how the gameplay loop is designed and how lacking the visuals are, and in that regard, casuals ignorant of the series will certainly focus on the latter, doing this game no favors compared to LM3. An actual remaster with updated textures and lighting rather than just an HD port would've required moderately more effort, but if they could have done the the bare minimum of matching LM3 or, heaven willing, replicated a fraction of LM1s 'je ne sais quoi', this rerelease would have had much longer legs for $60. A full on remake that made each mansion seamless, well that's a pipe dream, but it would have been extremely compelling, to the point of being a must buy for people who even played the original.

    • @goldmemberpb
      @goldmemberpb 17 днів тому +1

    • @xXEPIKgamerXx
      @xXEPIKgamerXx 17 днів тому +1

      ​ @goldmemberpb I dived into it and checked the comparisons and you're right, apparently they put a lot of work into making it look exactly how people remember the original but with only technically better models/lighting ... which is not the worst possible outcome but still very unfortunate ...they put all that extra effort in only for the game to not meaningfully feel any better beyond the resolution update and native twin stick controls. Doesn't really hurt the consumers, and the workers got paid, but still seems like a shame.
      If you're someone who has played DM before this probably still isn't worth $60. A mere port although unideal would have cost less but at least had equal value to first time players regardless. These graphical updates may be the reason the game is $60 at all, which is just going to compound into less sales.
      I'm conflicted. lower sales may steer the series away from DM design approaches, but is may equally as likely discourage Nintendo from making LM in general. And nothing this game does wont change the fact that LM3, flaws and all, sold 15m+ so who knows how Nintendo perceives that success in relation to the actual design details of the game.

    It honestly boggles my mind that Nintendo didn’t rerelease this on Switch alongside the 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion 1 so that we had the full trilogy on Switch. Since while LM2 isn’t a bad game by any means, it’s certainly not $60 worth, especially for a minor remaster that does nothing but minor touch-ups. It’s wild how a remaster as visually impressive as Metroid Prime Remastered can be $40, but not this. I did get it for basically $33 with the PlayAsia deal where you got 3 games for $100, but I most likely wouldn’t have bought it otherwise. And I can only hope we do still eventually get the first game, whether as a port or full-on remake with LM3’s visuals.
