It is the second game in the ''[[Luigi's Mansion (series)|Luigi's Mansion]]'' series after ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' to be released for the 3DS. It was first announced in a Nintendo Direct presentation broadcast on March 8, 2018<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsFna-Z1MjU&t=291s</ref> and initially released in North America on October 12, 2018, a week later in Europe and Oceania, and the following month on November 8 in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong. Among the new features, the remake includes a map that appears in the bottom screen of the Nintendo 3DS, as well as a redesigned [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]] with a Boss Rush mode that allows players to battle against already defeated [[portrait ghost]]s.

==Achievements==
Achievements are divided into five different levels (Beginner, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Master), and can be viewed through the Options on the pause menu or by interacting with the statue in the [[Gallery (Luigi's Mansion)|Gallery]], located next to the right-side stairs. When Luigi first visits the Gallery, only the statue stand is present. As the player completes each level, statues of different ghosts are added to the stand. Completing all achievements in the game turns the stand gold.

*''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'': When [[Gooigi]] is introduced, the Professor E. Gadd from the future that sent him is the one from during the events of this game. The ring tone that plays during future E. Gadd's call is that of the [[Dual Scream]], and [[Gloomy Manor]] can be seen on the monitor behind him. The redesigned Gallery features what looks like a [[Pixelator]] screen on the south wall, which Luigi ponders the purpose of if scanned with the Game Boy Horror.
* ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'': A sprite of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' version of Boo is used as an icon in the Boo counter on the Game Boy Horror's screen.
* ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'': Gooigi returns in this game, although now also playable in single player rather than being exclusive to co-op mode.

Like the original game, the remake received mostly positive reviews. Praise was aimed towards the new features, graphics, and the use of the touch screen as well the use of 3D, which was an idea for the original version, but scrapped due to the high cost. However, the multiplayer received mixed impressions, and the lack of improvement to the original game's graphics in certain locations, such as the [[Mirror Room]], was criticized. While the controls were easy to handle, the motion controls received some criticism, being described by IGN as "a purge."

<blockquote>''G-g-ghosts! Time to suck those suckers up because Luigi is back in the first portable version of this spooky classic. After winning a mansion in a contest he didn't enter, he must beat its many bosses and puzzles. Follow a map on the touchscreen, shine a flashlight, blow fire, shoot water, stun ghosts, and trap them...before Mario is trapped forever! All this ghost-catching tomfoolery pays off! As you suck 'em up with your Poltergust 3000, you could also rake in millions in hidden, in-game riches for our hard-luck hero. Make sure to search every area using the Game Boy Horror's map on your touchscreen and activate its Boo Radar to track down every Boo in the mansion or spot ghosts' weak points. After beating and capturing boss ghosts, you can select their portraits from the gallery to best your own score in tense rematches—a new feature in the Nintendo 3DS version!''</blockquote>
