What's up with Luigi's Mansion on the 3DS? (Luigi's Mansion 3DS Remake)

[@tacothedank]

I wonder how much of the inner programming they had to rewrite for this game. I'd personally love to hear someone who worked on it to go into detail regarding all the platform quirks they had to fix or change to get it to work. That sort of stuff fascinates me as a hobbyist programmer. I should get this game and try it out for myself. Good video!

[@CafeCharlie]

Thanks! I always wonder about that stuff too. There are a thousand issues and decisions in each little change made. Even things that didn't change probably took a heck of a lot of work just to make it happen on the 3DS.

[@BryantheArchivist]

Digital Foundary did a video on this

[@beatziegraham6928]

My theory as to why it’s on the 3ds is because the game was always meant to be in “3D”. The GameCube was originally going to have a “3D” feature to allow some games to be in “3D”. But it was scrapped. The only game they had planned for it was Luigi’s mansion. Sue to it being scrapped, they probably remade it on 3ds to make it 3D like it was always meant to be.

[@momoman64]

Yeah but this game came out a decade before 3D was booming and the 3ds game came out when the switch was out..

[@PianistTanooki]

@@momoman64 Yeah… that's why Nintendo scrapped it. 3D displays were not ubiquitous in 2001, they were incredibly expensive. That doesn't take away from the fact that they'd always *wanted* to make Luigi's Mansion a 3D experience. I don't know why Luigi's Mansion was brought to 3DS as late as it was, but it made perfect sense for them to bring it to the 3DS solely because it allowed them to finally give the original game that 3D experience.

[@starman5901]

On 3ds because switch is over rated trash

[@odnorando8684]

@@starman5901Man I love the 3DS but the Switch is in almost every way superior to it lol.

[@aguynamedlynx6397]

@@odnorando8684except the lack of a 2nd screen that gives consoles a little more merit to exist Though to be fair that would make the switch more fragile and expensive

[@PianistTanooki]

It's really not that complicated. The original game was planned to have stereoscopic 3D, but with 3D displays being incredibly expensive, Nintendo scrapped this idea. With 3D now being one of the 3DS's primary selling points and a baked in feature, they could now bring proper stereoscopic 3D to the original game as intended back in 2001.

[@akalalaimranrp]

Nintendo should have released Luigi's Mansion HD with LM2HD for the switch.

[@Itzamewaylo]

Exactly it would have given more purpose for the Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

[@MrMoffatt]

A very well-made video, nice input. Luigi's Mansion is honestly a good game (and relatively cheap to buy in GameStop and some other places from around $15 and up), and it's delightful to see the Quality-of-life changes that were made for the 3DS version of the game. This game (and many others) really proves how powerful the 3DS/New 3DS line was, it was the Wii in the palm of your hand! (Though I'd say it's more of a GameCube 1.5 in the palm of your hand, but it depends on opinion.) It also proves that games on the go were actually viable, and not just separate from the home consoles. Hence why I say that the Golden year of mobile gaming was around 2011 (The launch of the iPhone 4S, where it had ports of games once considered “too intensive to run”). To 2017, Which was the year of the switch (which actually had hardware considered “obsolete,” but still powerful, and I felt the “formula” for the console in the palm of your hand was perfected at that point) Fun fact: Since the OG 3DS has 128 MB RAM, most games use a 64/64 MB split (half for the OS, half for the game), but in some special cases, games can use a 96/32 MB split (or 3/4 RAM for the game, 1/4 for the OS). This is because some games need as much power and performance as possible, like Sm4sh for 3DS. To make sure all RAM is reallocated properly, iirc the 3DS resets itself after exiting a game that has those circumstances. Running 3DS games that use the 96/32 MB split on an N3DS won't do the reset, as it has 256 MB of RAM (which means the N3DS has a 128/128 MB RAM allocation, meaning the 96 MB is already supplied to the game itself.)

[@CafeCharlie]

Hey thanks! I didn't know that about the 3DS, always wondered why it reset like that on some games. Really interesting stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@logogogo4872]

I WANT THIS PORTED TO THE SWITCH SO BADD

[@Maynards_so_blue]

Same here. I really want to replay this game again like on the game cube

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

I think it was to give reason to Gooigi in Luigi's Mansion 3, helping to tie stuff in. Maybe then Luigi's Mansion 2 HD will tell us how the vacuum got back into the car before 3.

[@CCLee1]

The Hidden Mansion was in the original Luigi’s Mansion game on the GameCube or at least the Player’s Choice edition. I think losing coins when getting hurt was also a thing, but I haven’t played in a while so I’m less certain on that one.

[@rohitkashyap9904]

Well only for the PAL version of the GameCube version. So you must be from Europe or Australia. Whereas for the 3ds remake the hidden mansion was available everywhere.

[@Blundabus1337]

@@rohitkashyap9904 Actually the hidden mansion was available for North America. The PAL version's difference was that the hidden mansion was harder and mirror'd.

[@jasonquinlan1733]

Never understood why they would release this game on the 3ds instead of remastering it on the switch to garner hype for the 3rd installment. They’ll probably bring the original eventually if GameCube games get added to switch online but still that’s a rerelease and not a remaster which this game desperately needs imo.

[@luhgarlicbread]

I believe with a modded 3DS you can cast your screen(s?) to your computer and record gameplay that way. Also on the New 3DS’ you can scan Amibo by tapping them on the bottom screen.

[@CafeCharlie]

Yeah that might be helpful, but I still like to emulate most games to upscale the resolution. And yeah I forgot the New 3DS doesn't need the NFC reader.

[@valletas]

You cant Really its shit The footage is low quality and it drops a LOT of frames inconsistenly Its the worse way to capture footage on the 3ds

[@giu0014]

@@CafeCharlieYou need a “new” modded 3ds or 2ds to share the console’s screen and maker recording on pc possible. It is still possible to do this with old 3ds and 2ds but it is discouraged as these consoles are not powerful enough to do it and they will make the game run 10fps

[@Hynotama]

The more important question is why they didn’t remake it for the switch? Why did they make Luigi’s Mansion 2 or all things?

[@Thenumber1yoshi]

Short answer: They released it to promote Luigi’s Mansion 3 on the Switch!

[@CafeCharlie]

Yeah it could have been a way to get people into Luigi's Mansion before releasing the 3rd. Thanks for watching!

Considering the lore tie-ins to Gooigi, most likely yes they did.

[@Spizite]

They said wanna try our new mechanic that everyone wishes we didn’t use in the game we actually got it right in?

[@SpoonTaco]

They made it for the 3ds because it was supposed to be a 3ds game originally, if it wasnt for that reason i doubt they would have put effort to change all the polygons so the 3ds can handle it.

[@tanyapattersonjohn2846]

I'm glad this was made since I don't own a gamecube, plus i prefer portable consoles anyway so it was a welcome game in my book

[@ultramanlo9991]

Kinda weird to have a remastered game in the year later the 3rd installment of the Luigi mansion was announced

[@PipeGuy64Bit]

Well from what I can assume is they kept releasing 3DS titles like this one just in case the Switch didn't catch on or was a "failure"

[@Itzamewaylo]

In my opinion this has more purpose than the Luigi's Mansion 2 HD remake (sorry if I offended all 16 Luigi Mansion Dark Moon fans) (also don't take this seriously)

[@julianx2rl]

The first thing that comes to mind with this release is: "Why?" but also, Luigi's Mansion 2, which is on the 3DS also. However this game was developed by Grezzo, so that puts it more along the lines of the Zelda remakes.

[@cyanideOwO]

[@yilli_9109]

If you think about it for a little, the cube is made out of several triangles, therefore making the cube the most powerful shape.

[@germanopolito5294]

I think they had to rebuild the whole game, just like the remake of dark moon for the 3ds

[@VaniRoyal]

I’ve never played the original, so I really appreciate this remake (GameCube games can be hella expensive now) the model feels weird, though. I mean the original looks… well, ugly. But the new one looks out of place, like they just slapped a stock Luigi model on without changing the animations to suit it. a second analog stick sure sounds nice though, the stick on the new 3DS just will not work with this game, so I end up having to tilt the entire system all the time to look up and down (which of course is uber annoying)

[@CafeCharlie]

Yeah I was super happy when I first saw this cause the original is like 100 bucks easy. I've played through both and I didn't really have an issue with the 3DS controls, but I might just be used to them from Dark Moon.

[@VaniRoyal]

@@CafeCharlie in dark moon, you can look up with X, that’s probably why I had no problem there.
