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.

@@savagebeastty yeah I'm one of the guys who will always defend the OG version, the 3D screen and unlocked framerate did a lot for the game

[@noodleman4555]

​​​​​@@ErenTheWarcriminalAll the unlocked framerate did was make the game a jittery mess in a lot places on original hardware. Unlocked FPS on a low hz screen is never good, and it actively made the game look worse when it's constantly struggling to go higher than 30 FPS when doing anything besides slowly walking around. I agree that the 3D looked really good though.

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?

[@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.

[@piercemat331]

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

[@TheodoreMalcomson]

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!

[@noodleman4555]

​@@TheodoreMalcomsonOkay so um. Guess who Tantalus would have gotten the uncompressed audio files from? Nobody said Next Level made the remaster, but they did make the original. They most likely provided all the files to Tantalus to make it.

[@MrPiggmin]

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

Personally, I think they did a fantastic job with this remaster. I like how it's faithful to the original, while including several new visual enhancements and some quality of life improvements. Great video by the way.

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

[@devinharris9284]

THIS

[@gaminggoose2329]

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.

[@Mindstormer]

Thats why the Vacuum’s grab looks less impactful, that lean back was really good for showing how much effort Luigi is putting in, now he looks stiff

[@5A1A2AR]

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

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

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?

[@pacstermh]

nope. it's all visual stuff: models, lighting, ui, animations etc. The base game remains untouched.

[@fabriciolamana4106]

Minor correction, the Poltergust in Dark Moon is the 5000 model, not the G-00

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.

[@noodleman4555]

I get what you mean, but you don't "upscale" models. Doesn't really work that way. They would've remade them from scratch.

[@Camphreneas]

Huh…it’s more than just an upscaling in quality! They improved the textures, models, and everything! It’s not to the point where it’s considered a “remake,” but like a remaster, with some qualities of a remake to improve things that normally couldn’t be seen before on the original 3DS version!

[@Caliber_1579]

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

[@noodleman4555]

It's a bug and it's only one of a couple different odd audio bugs present in the remaster that are entirely unique to it. Really unfortunate oversight tbh.

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.

But forking over 60 bucks for what is basically the same game isn't my cup of tea. I'm gonna stick with the original. Sure you might say "But the switch version has better graphics!"

​​@@flux8815Original game ran at an uncapped framerate on 3DS, so there isn't any logic tied to the framerate or bullshit like that to worry about. The uncapped framerate sucked on 3DS because it meant the game was super unstable and had horrible framepacing, but it runs really well on emulators because of it. They basically just put a 30 Frame cap on Switch to keep it consistent and didn't change anything else regarding that aspect of the game, so everything remains the same there.

I wish that they added more Main Story Upgrades, Such as getting the Dark-Light Goggles from the Multiplayer Mode later on in the Game.

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

[@Tailslover2002]

This whole video is evidence/proof that this is not a remaster but a remake. If it was a simple remaster, they wouldn't change a lot of things like the fingers on the knight armor and the car model. This game was build straight from the ground up and I have a feeling the devs (Tantalus) used the OG 3DS version as a reference. Also not every remake has EXTRA things put in it. It is as the name says it "It's a game REMADE from the ground up" If any of you got any objections why this isn't a remake, then please tell them.

[@AarturoSc]

That’s what is called a “port”. A remaster still uses the same engine as the original and most of the same assets, collision data, sounds, etc. as the original. A remake recreates the whole game from scratch in a new engine with new internal logic.

[@AarturoSc]

@@dustymcwari4468 It's not even up for debate. You can transfer your 3DS game save data to this one. I don't understand where do they say this is a remake other than a need to make this something bigger than it is.

@@AarturoSc shoot my comment got deleted x,d, though yeah, its a remaster at best The Streetpass folder is a dead giveaway, and omg, that thing of being able to transfer your save file is hilarious xd

Since you’ve (presumably) bought and played the game, tell us: was the remake worth the $60 price tag? (I presume not)

[@clothinghanger6978]

no. the game is so buggy it's sad (it sucked way more on 3ds but back then it was a new game so it was absolutely worth the 60 bucks even tho it was really glitchy) such a great game ruined by a lazy company

@@Ryuujin1078⁠yeah he said this game is buggy but he mentioned only the 3ds and not the switch so I presume he doesn't have the switch version.

[@overqwilgaming6614]

Honestly I mostly bought it for Scarescraper because I think it’s better than the Luigi’s Mansion 3 version

[@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.

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

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
