Kotaku caught up with Nintendo’s Yoshihito Ikebata and Kensuke Tanabe to talk about Luigi’s Mansion 3 which is being developed by Next Level Games. The two developers explained to the site that the game was originally in early development for the Wii U system and then the Nintendo Switch. Development commenced shortly after the release of the ill-fated Nintendo 3DS game, Metroid Prime Federation Force.
Luigi’s Mansion has been in development for a while, with early design taking place on the Wii U and development starting in earnest following the completion of Next Level’s multiplayer-centric 2016 3DS game Metroid Prime Federation Force. At E3, Tanabe and Ikebata were heavily pushing two of Luigi’s new moves in the game: a vacuum-powered hop in the air called “burst” and “slam,” the ability to slap a vacuum-tethered ghost around the room and into other ghosts like snapping a wet towel. The slam move was working on the Wii U and seems to be core to making ghost-catching in the game more exciting and satisfying.
The switch really helped it with its look.
It would be better if nintendo took the controls to the new one, but it will take a few years
The game runs much better on the Nintendo Switch thanks to the hardware.
it helps with 4gb (technically 3 because 1 is for OS) of RAM and having 4 cores instead of 3 cores and 2gb (technically 1 because 1 is used for OS) of RAM, im actually surprised that the Wii U can run Darksiders Warmaster decently, heck im also surprised it runs AC III and IV decently with how little RAM it used.
Oh i see why it runs it on there.
Wii U had much more RAM than the PS3/X360 and Darksiders is, well, a PS360 game. Sometimes it’s like people forget the PS360 era existed or something when the X360 like 256MB RAM and it ran games the best.
I’m surprised after Luigi’s Mansion 2 bombed they’d even consider doing a 3rd game!
I don’t know where you’re getting your info, but Luigi’s Mansion 2 certainly did not bomb, despite anyone’s personal opinion of the game.
Let’s hope ports of the 1st 2 games are being considered so a trilogy release can be brought out in the future.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 was one of the best selling 3DS titles. It did not bomb at all LMAO
