The multiplayer Scarescraper of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon
It was rather disappointing when Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon was delayed out of last year into the increasingly crowded early 2013 timeframe, but if there’s any company that wants its headline products to be top-notch, it’s Nintendo. (After all, it was Miyamoto who uttered the now-famous “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is forever bad” quote.) Plus, every time I’ve had a chance with some hands-on with the game, I’ve come away more and more impressed with how much it builds on the concepts of the original GameCube game. Now there’s a brand-new multiplayer element in the mix, and it’s not what you might expect.
The multiplayer mode is separate from the single-player campaign, and supports up to four players either locally or online. (Players without the game can also join in with limited-function download play.) Rather than retreading the Luigi’s Mansion inspired minigame in Nintendo Land, the Dark Moon multiplayer mode has more in common with a roguelike than the simple hide-and-seek of Nintendo Land’s adaptation.Gallery: Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (Multiplayer)Continue reading The multiplayer Scarescraper of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark MoonThe multiplayer Scarescraper of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:00:00 EST.
