10 GameCube Games We Need To See On Nintendo Switch
8. Luigi's Mansion
2019’s ghost busting threequel was a commercial hit beyond Nintendo’s wildest expectations. Luigi’s Mansion 3 has become one of the console’s best sellers and has won praise for its varied play, humour, and endlessly delightful vibes.
The latest release took the smart move of building on what it already had, refining rather than redesigning the earlier games in the series. The original Luigi’s Mansion, therefore, would be like a comfy pair of slippers for those only familiar with the Switch game.
The mechanics and vibe are essentially the same, with the setting a smaller dilapidated gaff rather than the sprawling haunted hotel of 3. Luigi’s Mansion has aged about as well as any game you could name; whether you’re revisiting or taking it on for the first time, it’s never not fun to lead the cowardly green clad plumber through room after room of puzzles and ghostly combat.
Nintendo could have a major franchise on their hands if they play their cards right, and bringing the timeless GameCube launch title to the Switch feels like a no brainer.
