Luigi's Mansion 2 HD release date

March 10: In celebration of MAR10 Day, Nintendo just announced the release date for Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. The game launches on June 27, 2024.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD was announced for Switch in June 2023. Most recently, it had a Summer 2024 launch window.

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD for Switch is going head-to-head with the 3DS original as part of a new graphics comparison video, courtesy of GameXplain.

Simply boosting the resolution is an easy win for Switch given how limited the display was on Nintendo’s older portable. Apart from that though, we’re able to see that some assets have been touched up. But other areas of the game – notably models – are very comparable to the previous 3DS edition.

That news was shared alongside a bunch of other Mario news – notably Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Super Mario RPG, and the new Princess Peach title.

Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon originally released on 3DS in 2013, so the game will be making its return just over a decade later.
