A couple of weeks after it appeared in the west, the 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion has debuted in Japan. In its first week, the game sold about 27,000 copies. Dengeki further reports a sell-through rate of 45%.

Dengeki adds that Luigi’s Mansion’s initial sales seem a bit slow given the performance of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. The latter game sold nearly 350,000 copies in its first week and over one million overall.

We do have to remember a couple of things here. First, many players have moved on from 3DS to Switch. We also have to keep in mind that this is ultimately a remake. It’ll be interesting to see how Luigi’s Mansion 3 does in 2019.

The name of the co-op second Luigi in Luigi’s Mansion 3DS revealed

When a game goes out for review, companies often place restrictions on what you can talk about. With the Luigi’s Mansion remake on 3DS, there’s something very specific that outlets weren’t able to reveal until release. For whatever reason, Nintendo didn’t want publications to share the name of the second Luigi-looking character in the co-op mode.

That name can finally be shared since Luigi’s Mansion has launched in North America. A screenshot showing the co-op partner can be found below.
