Nintendo announced during their Nintendo Direct at E3 2019 that Luigi’s Mansion 3 is coming to the Nintendo Switch sometime this year. Today they’ve specified the perfect release date for our spooky ghost-catching game; October 31st, 2019. Luigi receives a dream vacation package with Mario and friends to a luxurious hotel. Once there however, King Boo reveals everything had been a ploy and now everyone is captured! Each floor of the hotel is its own unique level but this time, you don’t have to do it alone!
If you’ve read our last article on Luigi’s Mansion 3, then you know all about Gooigi. If not, a local friend can play as a green blob version of Luigi and have their own unique abilities to solve puzzles and access specific areas. For example, Gooigi can slip through metal fences and walk through spikes. As Luigi, you can unlock 3 new abilities: Slam, Suction Shot, and Burst. Burst being a truly exciting new move as you can damage several ghosts at once when surrounded.
Don’t forget to also check out the details about ScareScraper, the online multiplayer mode which includes voice chat right here! Play with up to 8 players and either catch all of the ghosts or find all of the toads within a limited time. With all of these cooperative features perhaps you’ll want some new joy-cons along with your shiny new game. Both joy-con colors announced will be releasing on October 4th, 2019 for $79.99. May we suggest the purple and orange colors to get you in the Halloween spirit and for a nice treat?

During today’s Nintendo Direct at E3 2019 in Los Angeles, Nintendo revealed some new features for the upcoming Luigi’s Mansion 3 coming to Nintendo Switch this year.
Luigi is invited to a luxurious hotel with Mario, Peach, and the others. But of course, not long after Luigi arrives, things take a dark turn for the gang. The other guests turn out to be ghosts and they are rather aggressive! Luigi has to save everyone and face every challenge thrown at him. There are many floors to this hotel with each one having uniquely themed designs, ghosts, and puzzles. For example, the floors range from a medieval castle to a museum/production studio!
Luigi now has a new Poltergust G-00 to take care of these enemies with some new capabilities. These capabilities are: Slam (slam the ghost to the ground), Suction Shot (attach the plunger to stuff and pull – effective against ghosts with shields), and Burst (a powerful air-pressure release to get rid of multiple ghosts at once). It should be pretty satisfying to gain experience t unlock these new abilities.
Multiplayer
The game will receive a cooperative mode which includes the best invention from the lab yet; a green blob that is Gooigi. You can alternate between the two to use both their skills. Gooigi can slip through metal fences and walk through spikes. However, Gooigi and water do not mix so stay away from those bathrooms. You can also pass the joy-con to a friend so you can both play at the same time in the main story; one is regular Luigi, the other as Gooigi.
Another new feature is the ScareScraper which offers offline and online play for up to 8 players. Catch all ghosts before the timer runs out or find lost Toads throughout many procedurally generated floors.
The game did not get a specific release date but is still scheduled to come out later this year. Stay tuned with us here or follow us on Twitter for more Nintendo and E3 2019 updates all week long. See below for some gameplay video with Nintendo Treehouse.
