Its been five long years since Nintendo last released a game in the Luigis Mansion series, and with fans beginning to give up hope of another, the news that a sequel will hit Nintendo Switch in 2019 is very welcome news indeed.Announced with a trailer during a Nintendo Direct on September 13, the tentatively named Luigis Mansion 3, is set to be released on Switch at some point in 2019 - so far no official release date has been divulged, but with a remake of the original Luigis Mansion coming to 3DS on October 12.No other details about the spooky new installation of Luigis flagship franchise have been released as of yet.
However the trailer shows Luigi creeping through a haunted mansion with ghosts bursting out from behind cleaning supplies as he battles them with his trusty Poltergust 5000 (which is essentially a glorified vacuum cleaner).With the first two games focussing on Luigis efforts to save his brother Mario from the haunted mansion, we imagine Mario has got himself into trouble again, although details on the premise of the third installation are yet to be announced.The last Nintendo Direct broadcast Luigis apparent death, with his soul appearing to leave his body - so whether the new game will address this is yet to be seen.Fans of the second game, Luigis Mansion: Dark Moon will be pleased to know that the mischievous little Polterpup makes a return, most likely to cause havoc for ghost-busting plumber.Cut to the chaseWhat is it The third entry in Nintendo's spooky seriesWhen can I play it 2019 - no official date has been announced yetWhat can I play it on Nintendo SwitchLuigi's Mansion 3: release dateAll we know so far is that the game will be available on Switch in 2019, but if you cant wait that long, fear not - the original Luigis Mansion is being re-released on 3DS on October 12, so you can get your ghost-busting skills up to scratch in preparation for the new installment.The rebooted version of the Gamecube classic will have a fun new feature that allows you to play in multiplayer, much like the second in the series.Luigis Mansion 3: trailersAlthough the 41 second trailer doesnt give away much, it does give us a sneak peek at the high quality graphics and gameplay.
