In an interview with Polygon, Next Level Games director Bryce Holliday said the humor found in Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon was inspired by Mr. Bean, which is a British comedy program. According to Holliday, Luigi acts like the program’s main character, Mr. Bean, who’s played by comedian Rowan Atkinson, in the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game. Luigi and Mr. Bean are apparently similar in that they both are hesitant heroes while being unlucky fools. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon launches in a week.
“Watching Luigi is kind of like watching a Mr. Bean episode. You know he’s going to get into trouble, but you’re kind of surprised about where it’s going to come from.
“We did watch a lot of Mr. Bean in the beginning to get reference for the character animations, so he’s kind of like that hapless fool and reluctant hero. He’s trying to live his life, but you know what the joke is before he does.”
-Next Level Games director Bryce Holliday
Are they trying to turn me off to the game or something?
No.
Trying to make you LOVE the FUCKING GAME !!
It’s worked with me. I fucking adore Mr Bean.
I agree with you jellybean. Rowan is truly a comedic genius.
Give my Gravatar account back Aeolus you pathetic little cock sucking basement dweller!

Nice try, Aeolus wanna be. Fuck off!
Wait …. what the fuck is going on?
He hacked my account now he’s mocking me!
I don’t know what to believe either…
lol
Rowan Atkinson is a legend , Blackadder for the win , one of my all time favorite TV shows !
you really have a boring life o_O don’t you?
The irony is strong in this comment.
‘icepokemonmaster’ LOL kid go and play your kids games of pokemon hahahhah ‘icepokemonmaster’ LOL
You don’t know how stupid that sounded.
I could kiss you!
Yeah. Nintendo’s bitch NLG just admitted that they stylized Luigi to act like a retard. Play something manly.
Spider Man: Look at all the fucks I don’t give, they’re just falling from the sky.
I keep seeing you use this word… “manly…” how the hell can you play a game that’s “manly?” News flash, kid… there’s no such thing as a manly game. If you play video games, you are most likely a nerd. I can freely admit that I am a nerd and I play video games. Playing video games is NEVER manly, no matter how many terrorists you shoot in the head or how many hookers you bang. There is no such thing as manly video games.
Do you understand what I’m telling you, Billy?
SOLD
+1
I could kiss you!
Rowan Atkinson is a legend. Monty Python + Rowan Atkinson are easily my favourite english speaking comedians/cabaret artists
I could kiss you!

Monty python and Rowan Atkinson together.
lmao. fuckin awesome :)
I came.
but Mr Bean is a fool & a idiot, people laugh at him & not with him.
recently with all Nintendo games, the first things i hear about a new game makes me really interested & as time goes on & i hear more about it through updated news & media, the worse the game sounds.
i hope Nintendo have not decided to go down the path of making games the Peter Molyneux way !
if they have they will be making games for the X720 & Ps4 sooner than we thought.
Mr. bean is actually a very loveable character cause he isn’t your average person. and you think this game will be bad cause of this? the cutscenes i saw from mansion 2 were really great lol. it give the game a character you know.
OMFG you brain dead ape. NINTENDO WILL NEVER EVER FUCKING IN A TRILLION YEARS GO 3RD PARTY ONLY. They go out of the console business they take there games with them.

This just makes me want the game more then I already did!, Mr.Bean is hallarious!
You have the best name on this page. XD
i will still get the game, but this news seems to have put a bit of a dampener on it.
Not really sure what to make of this. Never seen any of Mr. Bean’s work.
Rowan Atkinson. Mr Bean’s just a character of his.
Greatest silent comediane of all time
LOL, neat. :P
yea we know that luigi is a pussy, its funny that way
that explains it all
haha that was hilarious xD
omg that was epic made my day thanku
Made my day xD
Thats fucking awesome!!! Mr. Bean aka Rowin Atkinson FTW!!!
I don’t recall typing this comment either. What the hell is going on?!
It would seem your contraceptives are acting up.
Who the fuck is trolling me??? Aeolus is this you!!!! I have only ever ONCE said I dont recall saying that. Sickr or Alba ban me. Cause this is fucked up. Nobody uses my name but me.
It’s not Aeolus; he doesn’t stoop that low.
If you look at some previous articles, you’d see the same person under his actual name. Yes, he’s stupid enough to forget to change his gravitar.
In fact, if you click on his gravitar, you’d see who he is.
That’s… an interesting comparison…
Reblogged this on Paw Print.
Love Mr.Bean xD
Luigi’s always been hilariously awkward, especially in Paper Mario.
Dat high jump, though.
He was one of my favorites just because of how goofy-yet-useful that move was.
I really should get TTYD back into my collection soon. I miss it.
Sorry, meant to say TTYD and Super Paper Mario.
I miss this show…
On this we agree Aeolus. True genius mister Rowan Artkinson.
I was never really into Mr Bean; the Johnny English movies were the most interesting things Rowan Atkinson has done in my eyes.
Skipped on Paper Mario Sticker something so i’m definitely gonna get this
Luigi + Mr. Bean = Epic Win.
LOL! Now I want the game even more than I already did. Mr. Bean is awesome!
Hey out off topic…
Anyone else getting the Limited Time Pikachu 3DS XL? I have a Cosmo Black 3DS but i’m getting the Pikachu 3DS XL!! :D
I AM! I also have the cosmo black 3DS. And I’m DYING to get the Pikachu 3DS XL. I borrowed the money from my brother so I can get it at Target on March 24th. Yay for us!!
I wouldn’t know what to think if he played Luigi in a live-action movie. Probably too quiet in demeanor to do so though, considering how loud and out there Luigi needs to be, lol.
If you don’t like Mr Bean well then fuck you! I know it was already said but Rowen is a comedic genius.
too be honest i kinda turned me a bit off as well, but i’m still excited. Haven’t been excited this much since Pokemon back and white was announced, which is saying something.
Mr. Bean isn’t a comedian, he’s a comedic act.
Title incorrect blaghaghsghash
Rowin is a comedian.
Get out of here, pig.
Fuck off impersonator.
I salute you.
The Black Adder.
Ok….
Mr.Bean is alot more funnier than most american sitcoms which are basically all about alcohol, sex and other nonsense…
Mr. Bean is english though, so that explains it.
Although it’s ITV, which confuses me even more.
