Luigi’s Mansion Joins Nintendo Switch 2 Classics, Completing the Iconic Series

Nintendo has announced that Luigi’s Mansion, one of the GameCube’s most memorable and beloved titles, is now officially available for play on Nintendo Switch 2 through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.

With this addition, fans can now revisit or experience for the first time every main installment in the Luigi’s Mansion series on a single modern platform, just in time for the Halloween season. Originally released in 2001 for the Nintendo GameCube, Luigi’s Mansion captivated players with its unique blend of atmospheric exploration, ghost-busting action, and charming humor.

The game follows Luigi, Mario’s often-overlooked brother, after he unexpectedly wins a luxurious mansion.

What begins as a stroke of luck quickly turns into a spooky quest, as Luigi finds the mansion swarming with mischievous ghosts and—most alarmingly—no sign of his brother Mario.

Guided by the eccentric Professor E.

Gadd, Luigi arms himself with the Poltergust 3000—an ingenious ghost-catching vacuum cleaner—and the Game Boy™ Horror device to locate Mario and rid the manor of its supernatural residents. With Luigi’s Mansion joining Nintendo Classics on Nintendo Switch 2, the full trilogy—including Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3—is now accessible to players old and new.

Nintendo’s president emphasized the importance of preserving the series’ legacy, stating that making the complete Luigi’s Mansion saga available for a new generation is a key milestone in their ongoing commitment to classic game preservation. This latest release is part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, a premium tier that offers subscribers access to an ever-growing library of classic games from GameCube, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy Advance titles, alongside select downloadable content (DLC) and exclusive online features.

Subscribers also benefit from online multiplayer for compatible games, access to retro collections such as the Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ and Nintendo Entertainment System™, the Nintendo Music smart-device app, and GameChat—an online communication feature exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2. Luigi’s Mansion on Nintendo Switch 2 supports modern controls and online enhancements where compatible, ensuring a seamless experience for both nostalgia-driven fans and first-time ghost hunters.

Players can dive into the original’s haunted atmosphere, brimming with secrets and surprises, enhanced by the hardware capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2.

Additionally, with the availability of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3 on the platform, the entire saga is unified for easy access on Nintendo eShop.
