15 Subtle Differences between Luigi's Mansion 2 HD and the original - Part 1

#LuigisMansion2HD #differences #details
We've found 15 subtle differences between Luigi's Mansion 2 HD for Switch and the original game for Nintendo 3DS. The games may look identical, except for resolution, but there's a significant number of refinements, from graphic assets to controls and UI.

[@Arcad3n]

Huh, I guess it really is a case of “they made it look the way we always *thought* it looked, so it doesn’t actually seem improved until you look at them side by side”

Small but important differences such as improved graphics, lighting and shadow effects, sound..

[@Concon12316]

Honestly, my favorite part about the remaster is how all the audio is much clearer than less compressed than the original 3DS version. Most remasters either just redo the the SFX entirely or leave them as they were originally but Next Level Games must've just kept all the uncompressed sounds for Luigi's Mansion 2 for 11 whole years, which is really cool.

The remaster was actually done by Tantalus Media (the same guys that remastered Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword) instead of Next Level Games.

[@Octomosh]

The uncompressed sounds were actually used for the Arcade version, released a few years after the game. Despite being limited to only a few areas of Dark Moon, it contains the entire soundtrack in it's filesystem!

I don't remember from so long ago but how many keys do you typically have at any time? Does it even indicate when you've completely run out?

LM2 HD is what we all thought LM2 on 3DS looked like back in the day. On that tiny low resolution 3DS screen it was hard to notice the game’s low graphical quality but blown up on a big screen you can see its imperfections more clearly. Tantalus did a great job updating the game for modern day but it takes a side by side comparison like this to really appreciate how much work was put into it

One change that I don't like and honestly might be a bug is the Egad music (specifically when he's talking to you on call or in the lab, the original Luigi's Mansion theme) playing for a few seconds before and after the mission clear screen. It even interrupts some cutscenes like after bosses. This was not in the original and its a minor nitpick but it does annoy me.

[@PacmanLeaf]

I'm so glad someone mentioned it. I feel like it's a bug too but I've played the OG so many times and it was kinda annoying

Yeah, I noticed it straight away music cuts in during door unlocking cutscenes when it’s meant to be silent for suspense and the lab music cuts in between the end mission screen appearing and sounds akward when it immediately transitions to the mission clear theme and then cuts in just before the pixelator load screen before abruptly cutting off.

[@5A1A2AR]

When using the dark light device, the icon drains smoothly on the 3DS version but it drains by sections on the Switch version.

[@MERCHIODOS]

When the first trailer was shown people were expecting Luigi's Mansion 2 HD to use the same models as Luigi's Mansion 3, but Luigi's Mansion 2 upscale the 3DS models, so it looks like an in between of 3DS version and Luigi's Mansion 3

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Mostly. Some of the details have been even more significantly touched up than just an upgrade. Luigi's model actually does seem to be from LM3 but with an upscaled Poultergust.

Though I'm loyal to my 3DS version, and play it to this day, I must say this does look crisp. But there weren't any major additions, right? No lore about how the Poltergust G-00 got in the car, like how Luigi's Mansion 3DS told us about Gooigi's origin story?

One thing that really stood out to me in the remake was the complete removal of silence when finishing a mission. On the 3DS, Luigi would celebrate without music at the start, then the celebration music starts, and after it ends the scene is silent. However, in the Switch release, those quiet moments are replaced with E. Gadd's theme for some reason. It sounds really jank to me

I realized that the car shown here (1:02) is the same car from Luigi’s Mansion 3, just red and less worn down. The new details in the LM2 HD came from LM3 with the keyhole and hinge and you even get the Poltergust from the hood of the car in both games.

2:19 This one is exaggerating by saying the rug is basically a flat regular surface. Even on 3ds, the rug isn't completely flat. For example, the down-left corner is going up slightly, indicating that you can use the Poltergust there to pull the rug. Sure, the middle is flat, but there always was a visual hint that there's something underneath the rug with the down-left corner. It does exactly what it needs to do to let you know you can interact with it.

You forgot to point out the mistakes they made to the animation in the switch version.

[@skidooshlayman12]

they spoiled it

[@melon-dm1bp]

Spoiled what, an 11 year old game?

[@GreenLoonie]

Luigi's animations suck in the remake

[@noahbanana7526]

Great remaster? Yeah. Worth 60$? No.

[@trapez77]

They really botched this remake

[@AarturoSc]

It’s an enhanced port, an HD remaster, not a remake.

[@piercemat331]

Why not include the buff for Secret Mine, Next Level Games? - 2 new levels - addition of Polterpup - big exploration

[@clothinghanger6978]

this port was so unbelievably lazy it's sad the 3ds game was super buggy and broken but LM2 is a great game, it deserved a remake so it could have LM3 level graphics and actually not be a buggy mess but nope, Nintendos lazy asses did a super quick rushed port the street pass folder is (apparently) even in still in the files because they rushed it so much

that's not how game development works buddy

@@pacstermh what's not how development works? 💀 it's not possible to remake a game instead of porting it?

[@pacstermh]

@@clothinghanger6978 oh it only costs like so much more and takes so much more time??

@@pacstermh ok? they are a multibillion dollar corporation. they could have either dedicated the money this game deserved to it or just made the lazy port cost 30 dollars.

@@pacstermh and time shouldn't be an issue either, games take time, they didn't give this one enough time, that's their mistake

[@AdaTheWatcher]

My question is, why doesn't this game look like Luigi's mansion 3 That one looks like 5 times better than this remake.
