Thought that sound was fixed in a patch?

Did you try using R for light, L for plunger and both together for dark light.

Anyone order the steelbook edition from Game.co.uk? How long did delivery take?

Thinking of ordering it, but wondering if it would be here before Friday so I can have it on the plane when I fly next week.

Have to say this game is absolutely beautiful. The animations are some of the best Nintendo have ever done. Controls take a little getting used to but become natural after a short while.

That Mario Strikers easter egg is cruel though if it's just that :P Would love that game on Switch.

I'm hopelessly addicted to collecting cash in this game!

Egad keeps telling me to

go and get the briefcase and stop searching every room

No I'm busy sorry! :pac:

You can turn off his nagging in the settings.

He's a pain when your busy cleaning the whole hotel. Egad we'll get to it but the place has to be spotless first :pac:

Some of the puzzles are great. Really clever one in the Snooker/Pool table room.

The dart board one? That was pretty cool, yeah!

There's achievements on switch games now?

I got a pop up down the bottom left anyway. Maybe achievement isn't the right word and it's a challenge in game?

Was just about to post this, finished watching this between various things on tonight. I have to say I'm very impressed, especially given the limitations. They did an excellent job. I was saying elsewhere a few days ago when watching footage, it looks great, though when you see 3rd party games on Switch, and what they look like elsewhere... But then again, one can say, you shouldn't miss that which you never had.

Edit: And be grateful what you do have.

Better than Kojimas walking one that's for sure :P

Just finished this. Really enjoyed it.

All gems and Boos collected.
Ended up looking up the location of one gem in the museum as couldn't find it after searching for ages

Exclamation Marc

Picked it up on Halloween but finally played it today. Love it so much so far. Humour is brilliant. A good bit easier than LM2 so far (the ghost slamming makes it a lot earlier) but still very enjoyable. Plenty to go though so maybe it's just early on

Coming to the end of it now, it's not that long a game really. Fantastic for what it is, charming, funny, endearing. Really wonderful.

I remember getting Luigi's Mansion 1 with my Gamecube, playing it to death, finishing it in a day or two and trading it in for Smash Bros Melee. I might be doing the same here I think* unless I can think of how I can play this again.

*the trading in part, not the Smash Bros part.

I believe there’s DLC on the way for it at some point. Have you managed to get all the gems & rare ghosts?

I bought Smash Bros on release but that game really shines in multiplayer so I passed it on. I've a kid now who won't be interested in playing games for a good long while so I figured he'll be ready for games by the time the next Smash Bros comes out.

Most of the gems, yes and plenty of the rare ghosts. I've not looked up what I'm missing. Coming up to the final boss now. I'll probably hold on to see what the DLC is and if I'm disappointed I'll then wait for Gamestop to have one of those 'get this new game for free if you trade in a game from the list' deals and pounce.

I think I just prefer games I can lose myself in at the moment, or games that can briefly offer fun challenge and then return for more later on. I keep on coming back and replaying Zelda and the Steamworld games. Pokemon this week and plenty more over Christmas and in the new year.

2 question

I'm up on 5th floor looking for Gadds suitcase and a ghost has gone off with it and he told me to look at doors and walls with that special light but I can't see anything?
Ive found a couple of hidden areas but can't seem to access them, the gargoyle and the room with the washing machines and golden mouse. Are these accessible when I get the vacuum upgraded?

If I remember correctly, the ghost goes from the rightmost room through rooms to the left, then goes back to the rightmost room again. If you shine the blacklight on the door, you will see the outline of the ghost.

My favourite is when you complete a task as Gooigi and Luigi (in his semi-comatose state) also does a little victory gesture but decidedly half-heartedly and with his eyes closed.
