The Japanese edition of Luigi's Mansion 2, locally titled Luigi Mansion 2, is the game's original pressing and one of the emblematic mid-cycle Nintendo Japan releases on 3DS. Its collector value comes from the more stylised Japanese sleeve and from the cartridge carrying the initial Next Level Games build, before minor international adjustments.
Is Luigi Mansion 2 still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2013 on 3DS and known in North America as Luigi's Mansion - Dark Moon, Next Level Games' project resurrects the ghost hunting with the Poltergust after over a decade of absence. Luigi, trembling and endearing, vacuums up the spectres after dazzling them with the flashlight, in mansions packed with puzzles and secrets. The humour filled art direction, the expressive staging and the mission structure cut for portable play make for a charming adventure. The mission segmentation divides fans of free exploration. An excellent action adventure game, recommended for fans of puzzles and humour.
