Luigi's Mansion - Nintendo 3DS

Grezzo is developing the 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion, according to a new classification from Australia.

The remake was announced during the last Nintendo Direct in March. At the time, many assumed that Next Level Games was leading the project since it looks to be using the same engine as Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. While the studio could still be involved in some capacity, the Australian rating indicates that Grezzo is in charge.

Nintendo Switch - Nintendo 3DS

While Switch is undoubtedly Nintendo’s focus right now, 3DS continues to be sold and software is still being made. In fact, the company said last week that 3DS titles will continue to be made in 2019 and beyond.

When asked if 3DS can coexist with Switch during the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s financial results briefing last week, president Tatsumi Kimishima indicated that this is still the case. One reason for that is due to 3DS’ price point and “ample software lineup”, which are attractive points for parents.
