Y'know- the thing about Nitro Rad, as a reviewer- he's just so gosh darn pleasant. He's got this sort of optimism in his voice, you can tell he just loves videogames, and even when he gives negative reviews it's less like he's calling a game "bad" and more like he's finding all the flaws that bring down what *should* and *could* have been a good experience. It genuinely feels like he enjoys every game he plays- like....like a game is never bad at it's *core*, nothing is hopeless, and if it weren't for the flaws it'd be fixed. That's a very positive outlook, that makes all of his reviews a joy to watch. And it's accentuated even more when he loves a game as much as this- seeing him gets excited rubs off on you, and you can't help appreciate the game too! Brilliant job, Nitro, if you happen to read this! One of the very most enjoyable review channels on all KZbin!

[@thechickengod]

One of my favorite little details is just before the King Boo boss fight after you briefly save Mario. Mario jumps over huge gaps and wall kicks up to the top of the castle in seconds while Luigi has to cautiously makes his way up. It does a great job highlighting the difference between the brothers personalities with zero dialogue. It's only a short section but manages to be probably my favorite moment in the game. Almost makes me wish they had some post game Bonus missions where you get to Ghost hunt as Mario with his moveset.

[@frosted_glaceon5513]

Wow. This just made me realize how much I want Mario to join his brother on the next ghost hunt. I can imagine Mario charging ahead while Luigi calls after him, shivering, and quietly opening doors along the hallway as he approaches the main hall-something like that. It could be great from a gameplay and puzzle perspective too, getting Mario to perform actions to solve puzzles together. I know this is Luigi's mansion, but I kinda want to see the brothers ghost hunt together.

[@Knapperoni]

@@frosted_glaceon5513 There's actually an unused version of Mario's model in the first Luigi's Mansion that gives him poltergust straps along with code for a 2P mode, but it was scrapped.

Agreed. Luigi's Mansion 3 is a great game. Such a big improvement over Dark Moon. Granted I wouldn't say Dark Moon is a bad game, it's fine for what it is, but I say Dark Moon is easily the worst of the three Luigi's Mansion games. The mission based structure that Dark Moon was going for really ruined the pacing of that game & I'm really happy to see 3 completely ditches that structure & instead went for a more level based structure this time, which I think works WAY better than the mission structure from Dark Moon, considering it's closer to the structure of the first Luigi's Mansion game.

@Meta Shade Can we please admit that the first game hasn't aged well?

[@metashade4218]

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 I disagree I think LM1 has aged pretty well. Granted it's not perfect. It does have its flaws, like the gameplay can get pretty repetitive at times & the puzzles being stupidly easy, but other then that I still think it's a fun game that anyone can play & I still think LM1 has the best gameplay structure of the three Luigi's Mansion games. It doesn't have a mission based structure that ruins the pacing of the game like in Dark Moon nor does it have any few filler moments like in Luigi's Mansion 3. I still stand by on what I said about Dark Moon being the worst of the Luigi's Mansion games, even I still think it's a good game for what it is.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

"the gameplay can get pretty repetitive at times" At times? The game goes like this. Go through a hallway, enter a doorway, solve a puzzle that isn't really a puzzle, suck the portrait ghost up, rinse and reppeat. The same goes for sucking up normal ghosts. There are a few decent puzzles and even several challenging portrait ghosts but this is incredibly rare. I don't mind repetitive gameplay if the mechanics themselves are good. Now I haven't played 3 yet but I have played a bit of 2 a while back and it made going back to the first game a little hard due to the mechanics feeling unrefined and lacking some needed polish. Catching a ghost on your torch light is inconsistent and sucking them up feels noticeably wonky. Also, considering that's all you really do in the game, the game starts getting really monotonous. "I still think LM1 has the best gameplay structure of the three Luigi's Mansion games." This is something I have to address. LM1 is arguably just as linear as the second game (nearly debatably). The only time you would ever want to explore is to get all the gold as well as all of the boos although you need 45 so you are forced to explore a bit. Aside from that, the structure is very linear to the point where it might as well be mission based. The second game had a mission structure for a reason, it was designed to be played in small doses since it's portable. Now like I said, I've only played a bit of 2 a while back so I can't really comment much on the pros and cons of the mission structure. But I really do not see the first game as this big open mansion you can explore aside from having to suck up the annoying as hell boos. There's also the lackluster boss fights which don't add much (and the third one is really badly designed) as well as the ridiculously short length which made me question why it took me so long to beat it as a kid. Final take on Luigi's Mansion 1. I like the game fine enough despite how critical I've been. It's a great introduction to scary games for children and so are the sequels. There's certainly a charm to the game but the gameplay issues prevent me from seeing what all the fuss is about. Very nostalgic game but I've seen better Nintendo games.

I thought the final boss was great, I didn't like the first Luigi's Mansion final boss BECAUSE it was Bowser.

You slam them a LOT faster and I feel the combat gets just a little more engaging. Great review btw, you explained exactly how I felt about Dark Moon and why I loved 3.

[@retrogamelover2012]

Well, either that, or basically a combination of the two in a sense. Honestly, I figured they could try the muitiple building structure from 2 again, but with a more natural flow compared to the mission structure. And I figured that, wkgh that in mind, they could go with a sort of Silent Hill/Lovecraft type approach, where E Gadd invited Mario, Lugi and his friends to help renovate an abandoned town, only to realize that it was abandoned because it had some ancient evil locked away below, that King Boo was planning to release. And, after dealing with some supernatural anomalies, as well as potentially having Luigi's friends get their bodies hijacked by spirits, and therefore, you have to fight them similarly to Veran in Oracle of Ages, of hitting the ghost, without damaging the body, you get to where King Boo is, who releases the entity, only to realize his mistake, when the entity turns out to not be interested in any bargaining, and basically KOs King Boo, with the entity being the final boss, which after defeating, then leads to King Boo getting sucked up in like a cutscene or whatever, afterwards.

I wish the developers of Paper Mario Color Splash listened to fan feedback the same way Next Level games did.

This is one of those rare games where I never want to skip _any_ of the cutscenes.

[@TreasureHunterLocke]

Aside from the game bring a little too bright, it's absolutely amazing what they've done here. I really love taking old mechanics and improving upon them, and introducing so many cool new ways to use them. This is the true sequel to the original Luigi's Mansion to me.

i dont think the king boo final fight was as unsurprising for you as for me. i felt it made a pretty good conection with the previous boss fight and floor! through out the 15th floor you go through Helen Gravely´s penthouse looking through all the paintings and decoration and it paints a pretty clear picture that it snot that she just admires King Boo but that she kinda has deep feelings for him (she keeps king boo shaped pillows on her bed fer chrissake). and shes constantly infuriated by her staffs inability to stop Luigi because it means shes failing the one she so admires. Shes putting so much on the line, her hotel, her staff, her precious pet, all to get the admiration of her idol so he can see her the same way she sees him. but after conquering all she could throw at you and reaching the roof of so many dangers, we confront King Boo, where he shows what he thinks of all Gravely has done for him... and he really doesnt give a shit. Hes just annoyed that she coudlnt do the thing he wanted. like he never cared about her, just capturing Luigi and gang. He just doesnt care about her at all, just using her resources. he even goes as far as making the portrait gigantic in order to capture Luigi, eventually causing the entire hotel to collapse (you have to admit, that part of the fight was pretty cool). he would level the whole hotel to catch Luigi. King Boo is a fuggin jerk and im happy you catch him.

I loved all the boss ghosts in this game. My favorites were Morty, Amadeus Wolfgeist, and the skeleton T-Rex

[@Magitek1112]

The game looks great! And It's relaly nice that they actually had createive freedom for the boss ghosts, unlike the more recent Mario RPGs that got inexplicably hit with the "No Original Characters" mandate which resulted in pretty much very boss being "Giant version of an enemy" or something

[@lordroy88]

Nintendo knows not to restrict Luigi’s Mansion. We don’t get these games often but they’re pretty popular when they release. This game proves that NLG cares about the criticism they receiver.

MY WISHES CAME TRUE AND IT TOOK ONE DAY

[@tokutickler]

This game helped me realize that Mario 64, Luigi's Mansion, Sunshine, Dark Moon, and Odyssey all take place in one specific continuity. The reason why Luigi isn't playable in those Mario titles is because, in this continuity, Luigi has none of Mario's moves. We see that clearly when Mario parkours up the building while Luigi watches hopelessly. That combined with the obvious stuff like Egadd's technology being in Sunshine, of course.

[@thekiddshow]

I've always loved your game reviews. Very detailed, full, and, enjoyable without being repetitive! Can't wait to play this game with my friend at his house.

[@seacliff217]

One thing I think Luigi's Mansion 3 took inspiration from outside of the Mario franchise were those 90s point-and-click adventure games, the puzzle sequence in the Movie Studio level really felt like a puzzle straight out of those kinds of games. I'm really glad a game with a bit of that DNA is doing really well commercially and critically, especially after being told they don't sell well. Then genre simply needed a new coat of paint and I think Luigi's Mansion 3 is an example of how that can work.

[@lordjack225pig2]

[@ECL28E]

To me, what made the original Luigi's Mansion click was that it had a sinister undertone. It was dark, literally and figuratively. The mansion looked like a stylized version of the Spencer Mansion from Resident Evil. The music was low-key, heavy on bass, and sounded haunting. It was also sparse; when there wasn't music, it was silent with only Luigi's whistling or humming serving as music. Also, no music when using the Game Boy Horror. When the lights were off in one of the rooms in the first game, it was almost pitch-black. The ghosts weren't just over-active cornballs; they were out to get him. The reveal that Mario was trapped inside that painting was actually kind of disturbing. You could play it in the dark with the lights out and actually get scared. The original Luigi's Mansion was slightly more grim than goofy. The subsequent games were more like "Haunted Mansion" rides.

[@puginthemug502]

I didn't even notice that about Helen gravely's name through the entire game

[@elvisskater3362]

They should make Luigi’s mansion dark moon remastered for the switch

So my wife really struggled on the boss fights and she really appreciated the extra hearts they gave her. It felt like a second chance to learn the boss attacks and she kept saying how grateful she was that they weren’t immediately failing her

[@YaBoiBoris]

what they should have done is add an extra settings mode option to change the enviorment lighting so you can have a normal mode and a dark mode where everything is more dark and spooky so that everyone can get what they want and to also make the flashlight actually useful

[@ihatestairs9034]

Lonely Whale More like LM2’s magic but aight

[@SakoresDark]

​@@lonelywhale1548 I'd say I realize that its doing it's own thing. It's just I PERSONALLY want more of the original. I love when horror media doesn't feel like it's pulling it's punches despite being made for kids. (Billy and Mandy, Haunting Hour, Goosebumps, Invader Zim, Villanous, etc). So seeing the ghosts go from actually malicious and antagonistic in the first game, to....basically Minions in this game, for example, was quite the blow. But yeah, I agree lots of the original LM fans are getting way too strung out over a kids game. It's _frustrating_ after two sequels I still don't have a game to fill that spot in my heart that the first game did. But if other people are happy, and it's makin Nintendo money, that's cool. It's still better than fucking Dark Moon was. The only thing I WILL get strung out about for this game is.....yeah it's too bright. And there's already lights on? I thought the whole lore was that light scares ghosts away. So your flashlight surprises them to catch them? But in the lobby for instance, the flashlight is barely brighter than the ambient lighting?

[@lonelywhale1548]

@@SakoresDark Yeah the original had a special place in people hearts, and I'm fully ok with people liking the original the most. That game had a strange magic, that I don't think any Luigi mansion will every recapture. But when you get to the level of someone like the bit block, that's where I draw the line.

[@projectterminia7357]

Honestly my biggest issue, while pretty nit picky, is that the generic ghosts really are just reskins of Dark Moon ghosts

[@aaronjones6299]

Okay explain how.

[@projectterminia7357]

So basically, the Goob (Blue bois) behave like greenies, basic enemy that can arm themselves/wear armor The hammers are crushers but square, strong and dumb (personality wise) The guys who throw stuff at Luigi are practically ripped from Dark Moon but recolored from blue to yellow And the pink/purple ghost who sneaks around (I do not remember either of their names, forgive me), in both games screw with Luigi by scaring him and whatnot

[@aaronjones6299]

@@projectterminia7357 first that is to be expected from the goobs and personality wise the greenies are more playful while the goobs while playful them selfs seems to care about doing there jobs more. Other than being the red the slammers and hammers have completely different attacks the slammers where short tempered and not that bright the hammers on the other hand are lazy showing going sleep alot if times and are not dumb just cocky as they will flex on luigi they never showed to be out right dumb but they still have a anger problem like slammers. And the purple ones are a mix of the originals huggers enemies and darkmoons sneakers while they do turn invisible something both did and scare luigi they also grab on to him like the originals huggers enemies and even does instant damage and you have to shake them off. Similar yes reskins no at that point you should say the gold ghost and greenies are the same because they share the same purpose. They are not reskins similar yes but reskins I just can't call them that.

[@aaronjones6299]

@@projectterminia7357 also yes while similar the yellow ghost can also move freely and throw stuff with out being in a object p and can even throw 3 things at a time something the blue ghost can not do.
