Play Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon on a Nintendo 3DS for a few minutes, and the 12 year break feels well worth it, rejuvenating the simple fun of guiding Mario’s lanky sibling through a haunted house, catching ghosts as you go. Derided at the time as being at best a tech-demo for the just-launched GameCube, and at worst a stopgap letting Nintendo finish its grand follow-up to Super Mario 64, the original Luigi’s Mansion has aged into one of the last, great internally developed series from the company. Fox’s show 24 had just debuted, and Windows XP had been in stories for less than an month. Dark Moon offers a cooperative multiplayer mode that can be played locally or online via Nintendo Network.When the original Luigi’s Mansion was released in the U.S., the first Harry Potter film had just been released. Luigi progressively explores five different-themed mansions while capturing ghosts and solving puzzles in order to progress to the next level. In the game’s single-player mode, the main goal is to retrieve the shards of the shattered Dark Moon, a magical object that has a pacifying effect on the ghosts who live in the game’s setting, Evershade Valley, while also rescuing Luigi’s brother, Mario, from King Boo, the mastermind behind the disappearance of the Dark Moon and the paranormal activity. In Dark Moon, the player controls Luigi, who is equipped with the Poltergust 5000, a specialized vacuum cleaner used to capture ghosts.

The game was released in Japan on March 20, 2013, and later in that same month in most other major regions. It is also the third video game where Luigi is the main character instead of Mario after the first Luigi’s Mansion game and Mario Is Missing!.

It is the sequel to the 2001 Nintendo GameCube game Luigi’s Mansion.

Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, known in Japan, Australia and Europe as Luigi’s Mansion 2, is a 2013 action-adventure video game developed by Next Level Games and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS.
