Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is an upcoming Nintendo 3DS game that will serve as the sequel to Luigi's Mansion (which was released for the Nintendo GameCube). The game is confirmed to have several mansions, but there is little info at the moment. However it has been confirmed there will be at least three mansions. The game also introduces the Poltergust 5000, the Poltergust 3000's upgrade. Shining light via flashlight is no longer sufficient to stun all ghosts in the game. Players need to activate a strobe function to stun the ghosts. The game is said to be a lot more puzzle oriented.
