The Nintendo 3DS remake of Luigi’s Mansion received a definitive release date today. Launching on October 19th 2018, players will be able to return to the GameCube classic just before Halloween creeps in.
Luigi’s Mansion is an action-adventure game in which Luigi makes his way around a dark, haunted mansion; searching every nook and cranny for his brother Mario.
