Nintendo ended up capitalizing on the popularity of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon by launching a remaster of the original game on 3DS in 2018. Its assets would also be used to create an official Luigi's Mansion arcade cabinet. It was launched as part of Nintendo’s Year of Luigi, becoming one of the bestselling games on the 3DS. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon continued the tale at a new series of mansions that were infested with ghosts.

It took Nintendo until 2013 to deliver the next chapter in the Luigi's Mansion series, doing so on the Nintendo 3DS. What followed was a zany adventure that made good use of the GameCube's hardware, and it quickly became one of the best-selling games on the console. It instead brought Mario's brother Luigi to a spooky mansion filled with ghosts. The first game was a launch title for the Nintendo GameCube, serving as the first Mario game to release on it prior to Super Mario Sunshine. The Luigi's Mansion series has been around since 2001, yet and it has only seen three mainline entries so far. RELATED: The Case for Luigi's Mansion 4 The Luigi's Mansion Series is Gathering Dust on 3DS It would be a shame if Nintendo chose not to revisit this unique series on Switch, and now would be a great time to do it. Mario got to celebrate his 3D platformer history with Super Mario 3D All-Stars, but his brother also deserves to celebrate his spooky spin-off series. Luigi's Mansion 3 is currently the only game in the series on the Switch, with its two predecessors left to gather dust on earlier Nintendo consoles. It seems like Nintendo does not have plans to capitalize on the success of the third game, which would be a strange choice. It was a critical and commercial success, but there has been no news about further ghost-busting adventures with Luigi since. Luigi's Mansion 3 brought the series back to Nintendo's home consoles after its brief stint on handheld, and it proved very popular. Nintendo seems to be going all in on remasters and ports for the Nintendo Switch, but the Luigi's Mansion series has not yet followed suit.
