We found out on Thursday that the brilliant Luigi’s Mansion which appeared on the Nintendo GameCube is coming to the Nintendo 3DS. The game, which is scheduled to be released this year on Nintendo’s dedicated handheld, has been featured in a head to head comparison video by GameXplain. See which version you prefer in the video below.
Video: Luigi’s Mansion GameCube Vs Nintendo 3DS Comparison

Look better on the old good GC! Wish they made an HD Switch port instead…
Nope I disagree the 3ds version looks better and will be further improved,especially with the cool 3d effect.
And who uses 3D anymore?
People who like 3D.
😸
Only thing tht makes the GC ver. better is the resolution and lighting. I can understand thw game being brightened up bc of the low res, small screen. (especially making the ghosts a lil more solidified.
It looks bad when its exploded up to regular scrn size. It will look better when its on a 3DS with that smaller size. It looks like how I would think it would though, small improvement over the original in every place but resolutions ;P
The 3d effect will enhance the graphics on the 3ds version.
On it’s blurry 240p screen. Try blowing that up on an emulator at 720. It’ll look a lot worse than Killzone on Vita.
@PBJ89 Unless u use in internal res scaler then u can blow the internal res to HD.
Figures that my time with the 3DS will end with the original Luigi’s Mansion when the sequel is what made me buy a 3DS lol.
GameCube looks way better, with better lighting and textures… Why didn’t they do it up and the 2nd for Switch!? :(
I like the better designed textures even the res is almost half of the old GC res. The lighting was obviously going to b brightened up bc of the low res, small screen. Other than res and lighting, it looks better on 3DS.
The 3DS version has better textures and models.
The GC has more particle effects
I don’t like watching 3DS videos. You don’t get the same awesome quality that the 3D effect gives a boost to when playing on the actual 3DS.

This was a bad idea. Say whatever you want but the 3DS should’ve stopped being supported like a year ago.
Depends on how you look at it. Bad for Switch & their owners; good for 3DS & their owners.
||As long as it keeps selling, it will be supported in some way, in the end, this was more of a tribute to its intended purpose from the beginning…||
Normally I would argue that it’s okay for remakes to look worse due to hardware limitations since people would enjoy playing things on the go, but now that the Switch is out there’s no reason for this.
If any game needed to be a dual release, it’s this.
If I had a dollar for every argument I had with people who told me over the past year that the Switch is not powerful enough to play GCN games. And here we are, a GCN game on the 7 year old 3DS.
Switch not powerful to handle gamecube games? Even with all of those Wii U ports? …..please don’t tell me those people were serious. This level of idiocy… it’s just too much…
This was the only part of direct that disappointed me. Wish this would’ve been on Switch instead. I’m done with 3DS. It’s impossible for me to go back to the more limited controls and smaller screen.
Here’s to a double pack release for switch !
An HD remaster would have been preferred. Makes me appreciate the GCN graphics, though.
I wish I could play “Dark Moon” on the Switch signed your girl Gruntilda the witch!
yeah its look better in the Gamecube.but however i’m so happy that luigi mansion is going to be released in 3DS because i don’t have a switch
