Luigi's Mansion 3 | Hotel Hell

I have been a fan of Luigi’s Mansion since the first one, and the series has only improved with every installment. And after playing the latest entry, Luigi’s Mansion 3 at E3, I’m officially ready for more ghost hunting. Which is great, since the Nintendo Direct today had a bunch of great news. For one thing, every single floor of the hotel in the game has a distinct theme, such as the Egyptian themed Tomb Suites, full of mummies and cascading sand. Or if that’s not quirky enough, there’s a disco floor and a pirate themed restaurant as well! It all looks fantastic, and the bosses look big and bolder than ever, such as a ghostly shark.

There’s also more multiplayer to enjoy in Luigi’s Mansion 3. Scream Park is a multiplayer party mode that pits a Luigi team against a Gooigi Team, and with only one Nintendo Switch system, 4-8 players can battle it out. Gulp down the most ghosts and do the most damage to win. You can also pilot floaties in pools to collect coins.

But perhaps the best reveal from today’s Direct was the release date for Luigi’s Mansion 3 – October 31st! So if you love spooky themed games during that wonderful time of year, you’re officially in luck.
