This week’s Nintendo eShop update for North America brings a diverse slate of titles to Nintendo Switch, headlined by the highly anticipated release of Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.
While the list of new games is extensive, it’s a relatively subdued week with a focus on long-awaited remasters, visual novel localizations, and a handful of indie debuts.
### Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Haunts the Nintendo Switch
Launching on June 27, 2024, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD from Nintendo revives the beloved 3DS classic (also known as Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon) with gorgeous new visuals and enhanced controls tailored for Switch.
Players once again take control of Luigi as he explores a series of haunted mansions, wielding the Poltergust 5000 to capture mischievous ghosts and solve environmental puzzles.
The remaster offers solo players a single-player campaign as well as cooperative multiplayer in the fan-favorite Scarescraper mode.
Up to four players can tackle challenging ghost-hunting missions together, both locally and online.
At $59.99 USD, this HD update gives fans and newcomers alike a chance to experience one of Luigi’s most acclaimed adventures.
A Nintendo spokesperson emphasized that Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD brings "fresh life to the franchise with updated graphics and the memorable ghost-busting gameplay that fans have come to love." The new release demonstrates Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to revitalizing its classic catalog for the Switch audience without sacrificing the spirit of the originals.
### Beyond Good & Evil Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary
Ubisoft is also in this week’s spotlight with the launch of Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition, available now for $19.99 USD.
This commemorative edition features upgraded graphics, improved controls, and remastered audio, enhancing Michel Ancel’s critically acclaimed action-adventure for both longtime fans and first-time players.
In Beyond Good & Evil, players join photojournalist Jade as she investigates a planetary conspiracy, blending stealth, puzzle-solving, and hovercraft racing in the colorful world of Hillys.
The anniversary release is part of a broader Ubisoft effort to honor its classic hits as the publisher celebrates decades of innovation on Nintendo platforms.
