Is it still worth playing?
The 2018 Nintendo 3DS remake of Luigi's Mansion, in which Luigi explores a haunted mansion to rescue Mario. Professor E. Gadd hands him a flashlight, the Game Boy Horror, a handheld map and tracker, and the Poltergust 3000, a modified vacuum cleaner. To capture a ghost, he stuns it with the flashlight to reveal its heart, then sucks it up while its hit points fall to zero. Portrait ghosts appear only once a condition in their room is met, and Boos can be found only in rooms already cleared. On top of that, the remake adds a second player as Gooigi, a copy of Luigi, a Boss Rush mode for up to two, gyroscope controls and stereoscopic 3D. Stunning a ghost and then pulling against it turns every capture into a short tug of war, and a second player can now join in as Gooigi.
