Luigi's Mansion 2
Overview
Announced during the Nintendo Press Conference at at E3 2011, Luigi's Mansion 2 is the sequel to the GameCube launch game Luigi's Mansion. It's being developed for the 3DS by Next Level Games and is said to feature multiple mansions as well as new ghosts. The game is slated to be released in early 2012.
Gameplay
The game once again stars Luigi as he continues to hunt down ghosts with his trusty vacuum cleaner. Ghosts are captured via the vacuum cleaner and like in the first game, you move Luigi from room to room on a 2D plain while sometimes navigating the environments in 3D to go up stairs.
To capture ghosts, you must shine your flashlight on them which will paralyze them and allow you to catch them with your vacuum. Once you start sucking them in, a counter will appear above their heads, telling you how much time is left before the ghost is successfully caught.
The time it takes to catch a ghost depends on the ghost and certain ghosts must first be lured out of their hiding place before being caught. This game introduces enemies other than ghosts such as mummies; It is unclear how you will deal with these enemies.
