Luigi’s Mansion 3DS Port Receives PG Rating: Grezzo Confirmed as Developer

The highly anticipated Luigi’s Mansion remake for Nintendo 3DS continues to gain momentum, as the Australian Classification Board has officially issued a Parental Guidance (PG) rating for the title.

This recent classification not only confirms the game’s pending arrival in Australia but also reveals details regarding its development.

Notably, Grezzo, the studio renowned for its meticulous remakes and ports within the Nintendo ecosystem, has been confirmed as the developer responsible for bringing Luigi’s Mansion’s ghost-hunting action to the Nintendo 3DS platform. Luigi’s Mansion is a beloved action-adventure game featuring Mario’s iconic brother, Luigi, as he explores a haunted mansion in search of Mario while evading and capturing ghosts.

Originally developed by Nintendo and released for the Nintendo GameCube in 2001, this remake offers both nostalgic value and new enhancements for players on the 3DS.

The Australian Classification Board’s PG rating includes a consumer advisory regarding the game’s “mild supernatural themes,” ensuring families are aware of its adventurous and slightly spooky content. The Nintendo 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion is not a simple port.

Thanks to Grezzo’s expertise, the game features updated graphics that leverage the handheld console’s capabilities, bringing richer visuals to Luigi’s paranormally charged adventure.

Additional features include a real-time map that displays on the 3DS touch screen for improved navigation, newly integrated motion controls to enhance immersion, and a challenging boss rush mode for veteran ghost-busters seeking an added test of courage.

These improvements are designed to modernize the classic while honoring its original charm. Grezzo’s involvement is especially noteworthy.

The Tokyo-based developer has built a sterling reputation through its portfolio of successful Nintendo 3DS titles.

Grezzo was responsible for the critically acclaimed remakes such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition.

The team also co-developed The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes with Nintendo and created the original IP Ever Oasis, further showcasing their proficiency and creativity in game development. Luigi’s Mansion for Nintendo 3DS is scheduled to launch worldwide in 2018, joining an extensive library of celebrated titles on the eShop and reaffirming Nintendo’s commitment to quality remakes on the Nintendo 3DS platform.

As fans look forward to revisiting Luigi’s haunted escapade, the port stands as a testament to Grezzo’s ongoing contribution to iconic Nintendo franchises.
