I get the impression some of the team wanted to lean harder into the scary side with things like the cut ghost scare mechanic. The poisoned state likely being the original effect of the poison mushroom would have potentially added a lot more challenge to portrait ghosts. I also just noticed that the portrification room is meant to look like a kitchen.

[@Trikovioz]

Hey, as one of the first people here, I really just wanted to say that I really appreciate the living hell out of the research into the history y'all put into every single one of your videos.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you very much :)

[@bottombarrelbudgetfilms1854]

No obnoxiously long intro, no skits, no repetition, no tangents, no circular discussion to pad the runtime. This is why no cap you are the GOAT of beta game content!!!

[@ricardocantoral7672]

I wish they would return this series to it's simple, haunted house roots.

[@arcadiogonzalezgutierrez8884]

The videos just keep getting better and better my dude!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you very much! :)

[@ThePika78]

This video was really good compilation of the things Luigi's Mansion could've been! Also, will you be covering the newly leaked Pokemon Megaleaks?

[@mikeyisbombable]

Been playing games for almost 25 years now and Luigi's Mansion still remains as my all time favorite.

[@Venemofthe888]

Luigi's Mansion is one of those games id love to see earlier builds for along with Sunshine (Which is my most want to see older versions). I think its interesting like Sunshine this game could support two player mode with relative ease and is a remnant of the past. I could imagine it might have been a competitive two player where you are in a room where you suck ghosts up in a certain amount of time unless the main game was a little different back then where Mario was also playable or perhaps even E.Gadd being playable. I think the timer aspect could have been interesting if it was the case where you would have to save Mario in a limit. It could also have been something simple as the time being set on the Gamecube. I do like its loose connection to sunshine where King Boo says he kidnaps Mario for foiling him in the past which could make Sunshine a prequel to Luigi's Mansion

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Oh that's a good perspective on Sunshine being a possible prequel. I always throught it migth be a reference to Mario fighting "Big Boo" in Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 before becoming a monarch of ghosts haha

[@Farkas-zy8vn]

Always look forward to your videos Sir. Appreciate the quality/research you put into making these to give us an insight I never knew into my childhood games!

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Thank you very much! :)

[@juiceala]

3DS version did bring back cut content, mirrored mode, stereoscopic 3D, and of course multiplayer with Gooigi.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Mirrored mode was a big surprise to me. Bringing back cut content is one thing, but flipping it to throw us old players for a loop is another haha

[@elio7610]

Mirrored mode was in the gamecube version too.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@elio7610 oooh guess I forgot about that one lol

[@elio7610]

Oh, I see, it is a regional difference. So, the original has the "hidden mansion" which is like a hard mode and in the PAL release that also includes the mansion being mirrored.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@elio7610 ohhh that makes sense why I couldn't recall. It definitely was not then in the NA version

[@Themasktrooper]

Still waiting for a Switch port

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Same!

[@Themasktrooper]

⁠​⁠@@TheObsessiveGamer Nintendo releases a Alarm Clock but not Luigi’s Mansion 1 on October and also that Luigi Render 5:34 is creepy

[@spartanq7781]

They didn't because they did just remake it not to long ago.

[@Themasktrooper]

@@spartanq7781 it was pointless remake since the Switch was already out by the time the 3DS remake was announced

[@rakku4004]

​@Themasktrooper you've gotta consider how long they work on projects like that, I'm sure it was a very low priority project that was already almost finished when the switch was out

[@NitwitsWorld]

Gooigi kinda replaced Mario as player 2 in the 3DS remake.

[@STARSVeteran]

It’s wild how many mainline Mario series titles Nintendo wanted coop/multiplayer but had to be cut.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Yet at the same time made way too much since they were shoving that into every game at that point. Even Zelda getting a multiplayer game like 4 Swords

[@STARSVeteran]

@@TheObsessiveGamer It’s as if Nintendo started the trend of multiplayer needing to be shoved into countless games in the 2010’s. 😬

[@jes141]

You say it doesn’t make sense for the story to have the second player play as Mario but it also doesn’t make sense for the story to have player 2 be another Luigi lol

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

I agree and the only reason we have 2 Luigi's here on-screen is cause the multiplayer activates if you have two playable characters on screen at once. Thus duplicating Luigi does that trick, but with the original Mario playable character, that would have done it too before removed.

[@LMFinish]

P2 can be whatever actor from the game you want without dependance on whatever P1 is, Luigi, Mario, a flying pan, etc. excluding obvious issues. There is just no pre-existing code that we know of to change whatever he spawns as. But I doubt story was ever considered at that point, as plenty of the game's core mechanics were not complete enough and don't account for P2's existance properly

[@Caolan114]

When It released It was hated because coming off the previous consoles SNES launch title Mario World N64 launch title Mario 64 GC launch title Mario's dopey brother plays ghost buster? I understand why this turned some fans off who wanted a sequel to Mario 64 and got this game where Luigi can't even Jump I loved this game and still do despite being a Nintendo game It has such an atmosphere sequels failed to capture

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Yes, this initial release is darker. I think it simply because there's a mystery that lends the atmosphere of fear. Mario disappears in a haunted house. A fear of the unknown. Now, it's just a series you are familiar with.

[@matthewpeck5607]

I love every one of ur videos man

[@dipayanchoudhury2720]

Hey will you cover the massive recent Pokemon leaks, some of it looks really interesting, would really enjoy a deep dive on it.

[@azliaheaven]

yes luigis mansion on October! 🎃October! October! October! 🎃

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

And purposely at that haha. Been waiting to make this all year so I can time it for this month.

[@Zonai_Emptor]

It will be a joyous day if the Luigi’s mansion beta ever gets leaked. I’ve been waiting for over a decade for it to and the beta restoration project has been as close as we may ever get

[@obsesion]

Bro. Pokemon Teraleak!!!!! It's crazy man

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

It is! I plan to make a Gen 3 part 2 video for it as a result :D

[@Bibienneh]

​@@TheObsessiveGamer I'm so excited to maybe finally have some sprites for the pokemon that only existed as pokedex descriptions I'M SO EXCITED!!

[@obsesion]

@@TheObsessiveGamerI'll be waiting for the video 💪

[@mintychustarclan7381]

"Hang on, Mario" - Luigi

[@BaneKing57]

Thank you

[@LightsJusticeZ]

God whatever music you used at 11:10 that has that repeating star-falling sound is so fucking distracting to me I dunno if I even wanna finish this video.

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

Apologies for that. Will make better note that in the future.

[@MartKart8]

I remember Paper Mario, hinted at Luigi's Mansion.

[@TheFoolish727]

I think the multiplayer would’ve played int eh hidden mansion, since by that point you would’ve already save mario

[@Electrical.Perspective]

Are we able to get part 5 of Pokémon gold beta? That’d be awesome

[@GalaxyUndertaleGamer]

12:26 sounds like it would be in Pokémon diamond and pearl 😂

[@Actual_Gabe]

6:13 actually there's a boss there now!

[@terrysyvertson9205]

the 3ds isn't a remake, it's a sequel

[@jes141]

They also remade the first game for the 3ds

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

^This. Dark Moon happened yes, but then they went back and remade the first game. We got two Luigi's Mansion games on the 3DS as a result

[@Cliffordlonghead]

hii

[@PortableProductions]

you should probably do some personal research instead of reiterating cutting room floor text

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

tcrf is gonna have alot of overlap and there is alot here not even on TCRF, infact if you look at the sources in the description I used several sources.

[@BakedANDAwake4_20]

10:10

[@SomeSproutFern]

luigis mansion was never planned for n64

[@TheObsessiveGamer]

@@SomeSproutFern yes it was. I got a literal source in the description from an interview with the developers talking about it

[@DropkickNation]

So cool to see things about games you have never seen, even though you have played the game for over 20 years.
