We've Played Luigi's Mansion 2 HD - Is It Any Good?

this really should be a 1+2 HD pack. I would be all over it

Crazy they didn't update the camera controls at the bare minimum, this must've had a really fast development cycle

I'm distracted by the computer screen in the background that says Luigi's Manson, instead of Luigi's Mansion lol

This is why nintendo takes down roms. So they can sell them to you for $60 each

We have metroid prime remastered cheaper, and then we have this. For someone like me who played (and enjoyed) the 3DS version, you cannot convince me to buy this.

Although I thoroughly enjoyed the game on 3DS despite its shortcomings as a sequel to the GameCube classic, this game on Switch looks cheap and lazy. For crying out loud, I think they put way more effort into the 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion 1 than this game because they did a lot of retexture work and unfortunately had to change up the lighting to work better for 3DS, but it makes sense. This is for a much larger audience now because Luigi's Mansion 3 has come out now and sold millions in the meantime! So, you would think that they would put even further effort for this greater audience, but rather this remake seems to be made for the sole purpose of trying to make a quick buck rather than make a captivating piece of art. I don't think they adjusted the poor lighting of the original game very much, nor did they do much retexture work because everything looks pretty low in detail still. The animations of this game also look very stiff at times, which you could easily hide on 3DS, but in crisp HD on your TV will be impossible not to notice. This is on the same console as Luigi's Mansion 3 and the difference is night and day visually between the 2 games and it's embarrassing! This game could have reached its full potential on Switch looking as good, if not better than Luigi's Mansion 3! Another problem is the price, which is $60 for this barely changed 3DS game. 3DS games retail for an average price of $40 max and I even got this game for $20 9 years ago! Nintendo shouldn't get away with this and I am surprised not enough people are calling them out on this. If Nintendo didn't want this game to be compared to Luigi's Mansion 3, then they should not have made them both the exact same price. Release this game on the eShop for $30 and no one would be overly judgmental. I mean the Pikmin games were just fine that way.

It baffles me that this game is $60. You could pick up Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the same price.

Kind of ridiculous that they're charging $60 for this and it doesn't include a HD port of Luigi's Mansion (either the OG or the 3DS version) as well. Both on one cartridge and then all Luigi's Mansion games could've been on Switch.

So, they just updated the graphics a bit, and raised the price from 40 to 60? I'll just keep playing with the 3DS version until this one goes on sale.

i agree with $30 for this type of quality. The full retail is $60 and this is definitely not a $60 game.

I loved this game on 3DS and never once missed the portrait ghosts. It's a shame that this Switch version ended up being such a low-effort port job though...

3DS original was my introduction to Luigi's Mansion, and I adored it. Even if this isnt exactly prime Luigi's Mansion, I love it and can't wait to get a copy.

It's very bizarre that the first Luigi's Mansion hasn't been ported to Switch yet considering it's a short game. Anyway, I'm looking forward to NicoB finally playing Luigi's Mansion 2.

Luigi’s mansion 2 is my favorite one in the series surprisingly. I liked it more than the third one.

I bought a 3ds FOR luigis mansion, same with the switch. I'm definitely adding this to my switch library. Your critiques for LM2 are pretty standard, and definitely accurate. Would have loved if they streamlined it, but I'm just excited to play it on my TV.

7:26 Aww hell. So they didn’t change the control format. 🤦‍♀️. We have a right stick

Me who has 700 hours in Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon-

i know everyone has said it, but this really shouldve included the first game aswell. we got a great remaster of the first game on the 3DS. why couldnt they have included that aswell? edit: i will say though, i never understand when people complain about the mission structure though. luigis mansion 3 does the exact same thing it just disguises it with an elevator. i think the mansions actually feel more real and lived in(?) if that makes sense? the hotel in LM3 just feels so, gamey(?). I know its an unpopular opinion but yea, i actually like this game alot more than LM3

My daughters can’t wait for this. They loved LM3 and while I do own the 3DS version of this (and loved it) they can’t play on the 3DS.

I’ve played the original 3DS version and this was a very fair review. When it was revealed I held out hope that they’d fix some of these issues and give the game some very much needed QOL changes. Unfortunately it wasn’t given nearly the same amount of love as something like Metroid Prime or Paper Mario. The video pretty much tackles all my problems with the original game and the port itself. The only good that can come from this release is if Nintendo puts the first game on Switch.
