Nintendo has just announced that the beloved GameCube launch title, Luigis Mansion, will be available on the Switch 2s Nintendo Classics service starting October 30, perfectly timed for Halloween. This classic game, originally released in 2001, has players guiding Luigi through a haunted mansion in search of his brother Mario, armed with the quirky Poltergust 3000 vacuum. With this addition, all three Luigis Mansion games will be playable on a single console for the first time, offering fans a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Square Enix’s latest comparison video showcases the impressive capabilities of the Switch 2, particularly in how it handles the visually demanding Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. While the Switch 2 is less powerful than the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, the video demonstrates that it can still deliver a visually appealing experience, especially in the game’s opening sequence. The subtle differences in texture quality are often hard to discern, highlighting the optimization efforts made for this port.

Nintendo has made waves in the gaming industry with the launch of the Switch 2, selling over 6 million units in just seven weeks. This remarkable achievement not only highlights the demand for new gaming hardware but also sets a new record for console launches, surpassing the PlayStation 5’s initial sales figures. With a strong launch title like Mario Kart World, which sold nearly as many copies as the console itself, it’s clear that Nintendo has struck a chord with fans eager for fresh gaming experiences.
