Some details about Luigi’s Mansion Arcade have surfaced and been translated over on NeoGAF and while it doesn’t get into the meat of the gameplay too much it does help provide a bit more of an overview on what to expect. Here’s the quote:

-Coming Summer 2015.
-1st person perspective. Luigi does appear in some cutscenes.
-Professor E. Gadd gives the tutorial and some in-game advice.
-Based on LM2 – Gloomy Mansion was the only mansion featured in the location test. More stages in the final game.
-Controller shaped like the Poltergust (including rectangular end), two buttons (trigger + strobe). Shake left and right to suck in ghosts.
-The main unit itself had a start button and a bomb button.
