Luigi’s Mansion 3 director Yoshihito Ikebata has spoken more about the origins of Gooigi. Although he’ll be appearing in the Switch game in a few months, his first appearance was in last year’s 3DS remake of the series’ initial entry.

French retailers recently started to list a physical version of Yono and the Celestial Elephants. Now that it has appeared on Amazon France as well, we feel more confident that those listings are accurate.
It appears that the physical version of Yono and the Celestial Elephants will be available starting September 1, or sometime around then. Currently, no information has been shared about a release outside of France. However, Switch is region-free, and English will likely be supported.
