Luigi's Mansion : Dark Moon

Coming to the Nintendo 3DS in the fourth quarter is the sequel to the GameCube game, Luigi's Mansion. Luigi's Mansion : Dark Moon finds Luigi once again going into a mansion to rid it of some unwanted guests. The difference is perhaps a few added tools and quirks that change some of the game play but it also has the feel of the original for anyone who has ever played it. Check out the trailer below:
