What went wrong?

Absolutely nothing

I liked the different mansions approach. Felt more varied than the original.

The 3ds

>>382286667
>no varied portrait ghosts with their own little backstories
>that goddamn ice boss

All in all, it was pretty good and I liked that they remembered Luigi's Mansion existed but it felt like it could've been so much more.

>>382286667
After all this time, there's only been 2 Luigi's Mansion games! Where's Luigi's Mansion 3?

>>382286667
nothing
was maybe a bit long winded if you went for 100% but then no one forced me to do that so idk
I can't recall any glaring issues EXCEPT that the ghosts looked like they were made by brits and it's kind of jarring

It was a good game, held back by being on the fucking 3ds...

>>382286667
Not much. They stayed true to the original game, and didn't castrate it in the way that Alphadream did with Paper Jam and the Paper Mario series.

>tfw no Luigi's Mansion on switch
I'd even buy a switch from a scalper if it was announced

its a solid game, but I didn't care for it being mission based, and I think I would prefer one great mansion over 4 ok mansions

Nothing similar to the portrait ghosts
Less creepy atmosphere

>>382287436
>it's a fucking portable
>also, every mission is different and makes you explore the mansions under many different ways, making you deeply interact with each room and object

>>382286667
Nothing really but the mission style they went for due to it being portable turned a few people off. Multiplayer was a blast in it

>>382287138
That ice boss really was irritating

>>382287138

Too many missions about the stupid ghost dog, other than that fun game desu

>>382286823
this and this only

it was a pretty great sequel

The developers fell for the "handheld means nobody can ever play it for more than ten minutes at a time" meme which had a knock-on effect in making the game worse in most regards.
I thought it was terrible.
Then I went and played Luigi's Mansion (I only played for a little while when it first came out and never finished it) which made me even more angry over how much worse Dark Moon is.

Honestly, not much. The mission-based structure was pretty crap compared to save points in the first game, but otherwise I thought it was a fucking fantastic sequel. You interacted more with the environments and the gems were hidden ridiculously well. I didn't really miss the portrait ghosts too much because the regular ghosts in Dark Moon were actually pretty charming. I want polterpup back so bad.

That entire final section was pretty fucking great. King Boo moving inside a photograph was amazing

>portable
Not an excuse
>missions
I think having a hub with the mansions as different levels to explore and progress through would have been a better idea
