The Nintendo Switch will get a number of new games in the coming months. Many of these games were announced recently during a Nintendo Direct. The main attraction of this Direct was a 2D Mario game called Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

While many were very surprised by this particular announcement, it appears Super Mario fans have something much better to look forward to. Nintendo took cues from the success of the Super Mario Bros. movie and announced Luigi’s Mansion 2 for Nintendo Switch.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 is coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2024!

Luigi’s Mansion series is the odd one out of all of Nintendo’s franchises. It’s a very humorous horror game that stars none other than Mario’s scared younger brother, Luigi. These games star Luigi as a ghost catcher who goes to a creepy location on a mission to save his kidnapped brother.

This series has seen three installments over the year, with the last one released recently for the Nintendo Switch. And that game was doubtless immensely successful. It looked pretty good for a Nintendo Switch game; some even compared it to those very good-looking CGI movies.

But many might not be aware that this series started on the GameCube as an experimental title, but ended up being a cult hit. Years later, a sequel was released, but for a handheld console, the Nintendo 3DS. This game naturally became a success, as ardent fans were waiting for this sequel to launch.

Nintendo did not stop there; they remade the prequel Luigi’s Mansion 1 for the Nintendo 3DS. This was a complete remake made with Nintendo 3DS in mind. That is what Nintendo is bringing to the Switch, they are upscaling the 3DS sequel to HD and bringing it to their current generation of consoles.

It would be very interesting to see how this game ends up looking on this HD console. But one thing is still arousing curiosity among the fanbase, why is Nintendo only giving Luigi’s Mansion 2 this treatment?

Fans are really expecting the first game in this series to make its way to Switch too, here’s hoping it happens soon enough. These two might even end up being among those titles that would release simultaneously for Switch and Switch 2, as that console is also said to be launching sometime next year.
