  Happy 20th anniversary. Luigi's Mansion! And by association, happy 20th anniversary to the GameCube as well. Hope you enjoy this retrospective on a classic Nintendo title!

  I know this has been said time and time again, but the original Luigi's Mansion actually felt like a horror game--albeit heavily watered down to not actually scare people. Dark Moon and 3 are great in their own right, but they severely lack that ominous atmosphere the original had, and that's why it feels so different compared to its sequels. When I tell people I prefer the first Luigi's Mansion, it's not entirely a nostalgia bias because I genuinely love it for the mood and feel it offers.

  I remember being SUPER in love with this game when it first came out. I haven't played it in SOOOOOOO long unfortunately, but the atmosphere is IMMEDIATELY what I remember every time I see gameplay of Luigi's Mansion

  It was around the holiday season of 2001, I was 7 and having a great time in the first grade, and one day my dad came home with two new consoles and a few games that I had wanted for a while: the Xbox with Oddworld and Shrek, and, of course, the brand-new Gamecube with Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion! It was a good day. This game is one of those cherished memories of mine. The sequels that Next Level Games developed were good, but for me neither of them captured the heart of the original.

  I’ve played this one countless times on the 3DS. That goofy, cowardly, green-clad beanpole has vacuumed his way into my heart. Can’t wait for your reviews on the rest of the series!

  I actually tried something I never did before with this game, which is to adjust the brightness as the game intended (adjust until the Boos on the right image disappear completely). And it makes the game way better!! Some scenes like the dark hallways, and the mansion blackout sequence, as well as bosses such as Bogmire, and the final boss look way more spooky with the brightness adjusted. It feels like the developers wanted that brightness adjustment to be the definitive way to play it.

  Nice! I have such nostalgia for Luigi's Mansion since it was my first GameCube game.
