Luigi's Mansion 2 HD - A Game Worth Remaking? - DF Tech Review - Switch vs 3DS

Nintendo is back with yet another excellent Switch game. Even though Luigi's Mansion 2 HD was originally a release for the 3DS handheld, development studio Tantalus has done an excellent job in modernising the visuals - and yes, although hardly spectacular, it's another solid addition to the bulging Switch library.

That original soundscape was indeed amazing. I didn't realize it until you played that clip. It brought me back 20 years.

[@guspaz]

It supported surround sound too, via Dolby Pro Logic II. Most modern surround sound systems should still have a mode that supports this, though it may be called by a different name (since most matrix surround decoders are more or less backwards compatible with Pro Logic). The easiest way to check that it's working is if the thunder is coming from your rear speakers.

The 3ds was a beast and nobody can tell me otherwise. I spent thousands of hours on my 3ds. Between monster hunters, Pokémon’s, Smash Brothers, Kingdom Hearts, I had hundreds of hours in each. And then just all the bangers in between, Kid Icarus Uprising, DragonBall Fusions, Mario Kart, the Zelda remakes, all the great Kirby games, Shovel Knight. I mean the list literally goes on and on. Battery life for days, the Circle Pad Pro before the XL became a thing. I can’t even begin to guess how much time I actually spent with mine in my hands

[@lyconxero457]

I appreciate you doing the video at 4K despite the game only outputting at 1080P because it goes a long way towards getting around the compression issues of KZbin and it really lets the visuals and art direction of the game shine.

For the price of $60 bucks? Yeah no. This game has no business being that expensive. It's not even 'Metroid Prime Remastered' (more of a complete remake in my opinion) level of quality graphical and performance conversion, and that game was only $40-50 bucks. However though, I am STILL glad that this game was even ported to the Switch with "some" noticeable improvements mostly to the number of polygons the characters got instead of a straight from the 3DS conversion job. Because I really so badly wanted to finish this game on my 3DS but never got around to finishing it. My Luigi's still stuck at the beginning of that old abandoned clocktower level on my red beat up N3DS XL to this day.

[@user-cd3je7lo2z]

Saying "some" noticeable improvements implies you didnt even watch the video...

[@Oscar-Guzman]

The game needed an overhaul remake.

[@11cat123]

Quality of the Remake is nice. Really should have been bundled with the first to remotely justify that $60 price tag. Considering they already ported the first with updated assets to the Dark Moon engine for the 3ds port I don't think it would be too big of a hurdle. This seems like the kind of switch game that will go down to $30 for physical copies within a couple months. Will prolly pick it up then but no higher

[@bananachild1936]

@@user-cd3je7lo2z I have. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to downplay the devs' work. I'm saying "some" because to the normies, the HD version won't really give you that immediate 'Night & Day' difference if you look at it at first glance. You'd have to have a _really_ technical viewpoint in order to _really_ appreciate what Tantalus have accomplished with this remaster. Which they've done a great job doing in my opinion. It is an 'HD' remaster after all, not a full-blown remake. I myself am not a total expert like John from DF. But I always appreciate the subtle but still substantial enhancements given to an old game's graphical details, while still keeping the visual spirit of the original. It's just the unjustified $60 price that's bugging me man...

[@deetsitmeisterjd]

[@thingsiplay]

I'm sure if Retro Studios would do the Remaster, it would have been even better; and in 60. Retro Studios are those who made Metroid Prime Remastered. But they are busy with Metroid Prime 4 at the moment. I don't understand how anyone can get excited about Luigis Mansion 2 HD, in the sense of being amazing.

[@thingsiplay]

@@leftyfourguns That's the point of a Remake. But even for a Remaster, this port is quite underwhelming.

[@jobi-wankenobi2244]

The only issue is that (even though I agree) is that Mansion 2 uses a different engine across the board versus 3, and implementing that kind of detail into a different engine would basically be a retooling of an older engine. I feel like we'll be getting Masnion 1 remake with the 3rd games engine in mind, I'm sure 2 was done to just pump some sales, and tbh it doesn't look bad! Just mote cartoony over animated film like 3 is.

Im ok with 30fps to be honest, uncapped fps in my opinion belongs on PC where you can upgrade your machine eventually.

I must point out that, when you mentioned that the geometry was largely untouched in the exterior of the first mansion, it wasn't exactly correct. You can see on the fences and on the stones on the ground that the geometry was changed a little bit. The overall shape is the same, but both the fences and the stones have beveled edges now. Also, the vines climbing on poles and other stuff are much higher quality now
