Luigi's big Switch outing turns haunted-hotel cleanup into one of Nintendo's richest character-driven adventures.
Luigi's Mansion 3 takes the vacuum-and-puzzle formula and scales it into a lavish hotel structure packed with themed floors, environmental interactions, and some of Luigi's best animation work ever. It is slower and more deliberate than a mainline Mario platformer, but much stronger for committing to its own rhythm.
Example
Gooigi co-op and the boss-floor gimmicks make the game feel far more like a premium Nintendo adventure than a side-character side hustle.
Why it matters
It matters because it confirms Luigi can carry a modern tentpole on Switch without leaning on Mario for cover. In franchise terms, that is a serious expansion of what the Mario umbrella can support.
