Must-Play Halloween Video Games | Luigi's Mansion Gamecube 3DS Switch

I will admit that Halloween is not one of my favorite times of the year. As such, I'm kind of particular in the Halloween-themed games that I play each October. As such, I wanted to share some of my favorite games to play around Halloween with you. I don't dig a ton of blood, guts, and gore, but one game I get gleeful delight from every time I play, and a game I consider one of the Must-play Series to play for Halloween is Luigi's Mansion for the Nintendo Gamecube, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon for the 3DS (and soon the Nintendo Switch), and Luigi's Manion 3 for the Nintendo Switch. Let's take a closer look.

At it's core, the Luigi's Manion Series is more of a puzzle game than an action game or a platformer. It's interesting that it was a launch title for the GameCube and not a Mario Game, but it definitely paved the way for an amazing series.

In the first game, Luigi gets a letter about winning a mansion in a contest he did not enter. He informs Mario and they agree to meet up outside the mansion that evening. Luigi follows a map to the mansion, located in a dark forest, and finds it more sinister-looking than the supplied photo. With Mario nowhere to be found, Luigi enters the mansion alone to try to find and rescue Mario.

There are staples of the series, such as the helpful but slightly odd Professor E.Gadd, the Poltergust Ghost Vacuum, and Luigi's charming humming of the main theme. We've also got the addition of King Boo to the series through Luigi's Mansion.

Luigi's Mansion was followed up years later with a Nintendo 3DS Sequel which was very similar to the first game, and it will be coming to the Nintendo Switch in 2024 reportedly as a remastered version. Finally, Luigi's Mansion 3 was released for the Nintendo Switch in 2019 and is a wonderful addition to the series.

Which is your favorite Luigi's Mansion game? Did you ever get past that creepy baby? Share your thoughts in the comments!
