[@Makoto0729]

What these are teaching me is that Luigi's Mansion 2 HD is kind of a Twilight Princess HD situation, where it looks like you remember it, not how it was, so it SEEMS like less of an upgrade than it actually is

[@Skipper93653]

Funny you say that as the developer for Twilight Princess HD also did Luigi's Mansion 2 HD (Tantalus Media)

[@jerkofalltrades]

For number 1, it's more like they fixed an inconsistency. By the time the camera cuts to the other side of the door, Luigi has already turned the handle. That means he would of had to have turned it twice in the 3DS version. Not impossible, but also not necessary.

[@seanmcbay]

Yep. It makes more sense in the HD version.

[@ryanepic45]

Nintendo really gave the boos an aura boost in the hd version 💀

[@Mattbuddy0947]

Yeah, like if they were in Dragon Ball. 😂

[@pooky-bellegaming4089]

That “aura boost” and the refined facial expressions and animations help make the Boos look more sinister!

[@supernintendo182]

Honestly it helps them look more ghastly. Their opaque appearance in the original ironically made them look the least ghoulish out of all of the enemies.

[@EthanMastercrafter]

I'm surprised how no one has brought up the fact that they nerfed his scared run animation, his mouth doesn't move at all when he's scared

[@kirbo6497]

A difference I found was that Luigi no longer looks like he's shrieking in terror when he runs if he is scared in the HD ver, which is sad because I liked that little detail in the 3ds version.

[@alejandrovelez6358]

What makes it even worse is that in one of the early trailers for this remaster, his mouth was opened when running in terror. The fact that his mouth is now closed when running just makes less sense and feels very stiff… This game is the equivalence of the issues Conker’s Bad Fur Day: Live & Reloaded had. Add new facial expressions while also removing some, making certain moments not hit has hard as they did originally…

[@Mattbuddy0947]

Also, one fact in the Haunted Towers is the entrance for B-3. When Luigi opens the door, you can even see the rain and the rust more clearly than in the original.

[@blue-cloud-studios]

Generally surprised, they actually did a lot for this port now I actually want to play it

[@piercemat331]

Still, I want Secret Mine buffs 2 new levels big exploration addition of Polterpup

[@evdestroy4121]

They did some minor bug fixes and animation tweaks. That is not a lot.

@@piercemat331 would have been cool but that's too much to ask for this game I do think it would be a bit out of place though, changing something that big, but yeah secret mine was way too short

There’s no way Nintendo got away with adding even more details to the stuff we already got in the base game to begin with 😂

[@angelgamesyt7227]

I love the detail of Luigi humming his own music in-game (in the HD version)

[@Jipsypop]

He does on the og also :')

[@xinpingdonohoe3978]

He did in the classic.

[@GexTrilogyWhen]

He does that in all the games, which is always great

[@tippedjoshua6802]

2:41 why does the boo look like that on the left

[@NotScared]

4:26 luigi teleported 💀

[@sorbetshark4339]

In the switch version the doorknob has more alot more polygons so it could still be moving and its too hard to notice.

[@quintonheimann]

it doesn't move on the switch version, which is more realistic as most door knobs only move one side, or the devs simply didn't bother since they figured it was high enough poly to be hard enough to tell

[@AlejandroEscar]

In the 3ds version when luigi exits the level through pixelization there's no music but in the HD version the lab musics starts playing it bugs me because the music stats again after he arives in the lab. I hope that gets patched.

[@astrotheunhingedguy]

0:50 I always thought this was intentional because of the fake door in the master bedroom

[@nutaneme5179]

im surprised you haven't mentioned how E. Gadds theme starts playing right before the victory theme at the end of every level. even at the end of boss levels, which sounds strange in some cases. though that isnt a graphical difference

[@LetsPlayNintendoITA2023]

so... one thing from PMTTYD remake. Marylin no longer has her crossed arms animation

[@ddnava96]

I think I prefer the arms staying closer to the body

[@Banjeoin]

I agree! They probably changed it for Switch since the slight clipping between his arm/hands and his hips would be more noticeable at larger resolutions... but the straighter line-of-action of his arms in 3DS is better posing overall I'd say. Gives more weight to him holding out the torch, and makes for a more stylised/cartoony silhouette than having his elbows sticking out slightly like in the Switch posing. Ah well, just a minor detail, and I like most of the other changes they made!

[@ddnava96]

@@Banjeoin The new pose also reminds me of how in Super Mario 64, Mario keeps his arms unnaturally lifted and away from his body

[@sh1zin]

I'd like to point out the Mission Complete screen's music is bugged, it plays the bunker theme, then cuts to the mission complete theme, then cuts back to the bunker theme.

[@cuppacon]

I’m wondering with all these changes to cutscenes whether they were entirely reanimated or simply upscaled and tweaked. When you put many of them side by side, there’s quite a few noticeable differences, but they’re still timed exactly the same. I’d love to know!

[@ventusse]

Most probably they still have the same rigs, then just replaced the models with the HD models and then retweak the rigs that they originally had. If you have the source code, it is easy to just replace the 3d models while still having the rigs (the "animation") and keyframes intact.

[@noodleman4555]

What do you mean by upscaled and tweaked? The cutscenes are real-time and rendered in the game engine. There's nothing to upscale, it's just the game.

[@SteelAxleVII]

They still didn’t fix the part where after the Underground Expedition mission and the result screen, the underground theme continues during the loading screen.

[@piercemat331]

Still, I want Secret Mine buffs 2 new levels big exploration addition of Polterpup

[@Robinnezz_Ofc]

You can do a comparison of Luigi's Mansion (GCN) and Luigi's Mansion (3DS)

[@Wings_Of_Nightfall]

I can't remember if this was actually the case but for the OG I remember you being able to encounter non scripted boos again (the scripted ones being in A-4 and E-2) until you caught all the boos the game, HD it's a 1 time thing and I can't remember if that was always the case or if it's a change

[@BigDaddyDowney]

Subtle is definitely the word here

[@FireFlameYT]

In the Haunted Towers selection, the left tower has 5 windows with only 2 floors while on the 3ds it has 6 windows and 3 floors

[@toomuchfreetime7194]

lmao the new -aura and +aura memes got me laughing at 2:26

[@ArtisticallyAlex]

I had this game for the 3ds, I never beat it , but the game was so fun I didn’t care. I didn’t think they could make the game look better until I saw how bad the graphics actually were on the 3ds version. I didn’t remember it looking this low poly, is it just me?

[@VECTORY_]

nah, me too.

[@evdestroy4121]

It doesn't look this bad on original hardware with the smaller screen and 3D effect

[@TheComedicProsthesecondone]

Wdym "bad graphics"? They still look great and hold up very well (for the most part atleast). Especially if you upscale it on an emulator, it looks phenomenal

[@VECTORY_]

@@TheComedicProsthesecondone yes, but now its natural good, not upscaling good.

[@ArtisticallyAlex]

@@TheComedicProsthesecondone I mean compared to the switch version

[@marijnvanbelzen3756]

I find it annoying that the bunker theme plays too much. When you have completed a level, it plays. When in the original it was just silent until the ‘level complete’ theme would play.

[@simplyspecial69]

Nintendo saw render 96 and suddenly had a plan.

[@BitFireStudio]

I hope we get a Kirby64 remake at some point.

It's clearly not an upscale, even inconsequential things like wall textures seem to have been remade Still I don't think it's worth $60

[@bagobeans1444]

@@DogsRNice That's a fair opinion. But it's part of the Mario series, so of course it'll be priced at $60. Pikmin and Metroid? Those games don't sell nearly as much, so they get the lower price treatment.

am i the only one who prefers Luigi's model in the 3ds version?

i like it a little more too. he looks cuter somehow

It feels like by upgrading the quality they take out cute or interesting details from an older version. Whether that's the character or the game itself.

I'm curious though ,do the glitches from the original 3DS version of Luigi's Mansion 2 still work in Luigi's Mansion 2 HD?

Hi

[@hfplaysrblx6964]

Beated this game on 3DS and gotta say that some missions can be very difficult if you don’t know what your doing most of the times, and you might need KZbin for most of em, and paying 60$ for a game on a modern hardware makes no freaking sense at all, like do they make it 60$ because of… you know… MONEY! Seriously they gotta stop that with HD remakes, you can just get it cheap on 3ds if you wanted to, and ignore the switch version which has better graphics, etc, but all you want is the 3ds version because its cheaper. How do I know that? It’s because you can get it under 30$ and that is a GOOD Price, but if you want the switch version, 60$ it is.

[@Tailslover2002]

It's because all cutscenes, textures, models and such have been remade for a bigger screen.
