Iconic Mario games from the GameCube era and 3DS system (respectively) are making the jump to Nintendo Switch with some updated graphics!
During the latest Nintendo Direct, the House of Mario revealed a pair of classic games that are getting new life on the Switch console. Both Luigi’s Mansion 2 (which originally released o the 3DS) and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (a GameCube exclusive) are coming to the console at some point in 2024.
Both of them also look incredible. Honestly, while watching the Luigi’s Mansion trailer, I completely forget it was a 3DS game! Paper Mario looks similarly mind-blowing and it’s no wonder Nintendo decided to close out the presentation with it.
The Nintendo GameCube game returns with updated graphics. Turn the page and join Mario and friends in an RPG adventure to discover the legendary treasure behind the ancient Thousand-Year Door. Will Mario complete his papery quest, or will he crumple under the pressure?
Explore multiple spooky mansions and clean house as the easily scared Luigi in this visually enhanced version of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. Evershade Valley is filled with chilling locales to visit and clever ghosts to capture. Luckily, Luigi has the tools for the job – like the Strobulb to stun enemies and his trusty Poltergust to vacuum up ghosts or interact with the environment. Good thing, because his paranormal escapades will take him to a variety of places, including a former plant research lab, a broken-down clock factory and an icy, snow-covered mine, just to name a few. Plus, hunt ghosts with up to four players online*** in group “exorcises” across different multiplayer modes, or conjure up fun frights in the local multiplayer ScareScraper mode.
No release date on these yet, but both are expected to launch next year!
