If you liked Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Switch and are curious about where the series started, the first Luigi’s Mansion is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. The original Luigi’s Mansion was basically a glorified tech demo for the launch of the Nintendo GameCube in 2001, but its legacy has endured for decades now, and it’s become a full-fledged series. Even when it first released, it didn’t blow the doors off, and some grumbled they would’ve rather had a sequel to Super Mario 64 for the launch of the GameCube instead, but it’s worth going back to.

Luigi’s Mansion is out now for Nintendo Switch with a Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack subscription. Check out the launch trailer below:

Mariooo, where are you?

One day, Luigi received the unexpected news that he’d won a huge mansion! Overjoyed, he called up Mario and invited him to celebrate the exciting news. But after arriving at the mansion and searching for Mario, who should have arrived first, Luigi is attacked by a ghost!

After being saved from danger by Professor E. Gadd, Luigi expresses his panic that Mario is nowhere to be found. Luckily for Luigi, this professor has the perfect tools for the occasion! Now, armed with the Poltergust 3000 and a Game Boy™ Horror gifted by the professor, Luigi must explore the frightening mansion to find Mario in this action adventure game originally released for the Nintendo GameCube™ system in 2001. Shine your flashlight on ghosts to surprise them, then suck them up with the Poltergust 3000. When ghosts try to run away, the trick is to quickly tilt the stick in the opposite direction and back again repeatedly to weaken them.
