Mario's emerald-hued brother will finally get another turn in the spotlight at the end of the month, as Luigi's Mansion 2 creeps onto 3DS.
It's the sequel to the 2002 Gamecube launch title, in which Luigi explored a haunted house to find his missing brother. For this long-awaited sequel the Poltergust 5000, Luigi's ghostbusting vacuum cleaner, has been upgraded and he'll also have other gadgets to help him fend off the phantoms. The Strobulb will dazzle the undead, while a new Dark Light feature will reveal hidden clues and messages.
Puzzles will revolve around using the Poltergust's suck-and-blow windy physics to work out the way forwards. You may need to blow back a carpet to reveal a switch, for example, or suck wallpaper off the walls.
As well as the single player story game there's the multiplayer Hunter mode, in which you team up with others to clear floor after floor of Thrill Tower against the clock, and minigames such as Polterpup, in which you use your Dark Light to track down a wandering spectral pooch.
The European release will also come with a limited edition glow-in-the-dark cover, so you'll never have a problem finding your copy!
Luigi's Mansion 2 is out exclusively for 3DS on March 28th.
