Luigi’s Mansion on Nintendo Switch 2

Originally a GameCube launch title, Luigi’s Mansion will join the GameCube Classics Library on the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 30. The release brings the original spooky adventure — featuring Luigi, the Poltergust 3000, and the Game Boy Horror — back to a modern Nintendo system.

What is included and pricing

The GameCube Classics Library is a feature exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2 and is available through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. Membership options and included content are as follows:

• Individual membership: $49.99 per year.
• Family membership (up to eight people): $79.99 per year.
• Access also includes titles from Game Boy Advance, Nintendo 64, and Sega Genesis libraries, plus select DLC such as the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass and Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise.

All three Luigi’s Mansion games on Switch 2

With the October 30 addition of the original game, all three entries in the series will be playable on Nintendo Switch 2. The lineup on Switch now includes:

• Luigi’s Mansion (original GameCube release, coming to Switch 2 on October 30)
• Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon (re-released as Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD on Switch)
• Luigi’s Mansion 3 (already available on Switch)

Therefore, players who want the complete trilogy can access every main entry on Nintendo’s current home console.

Where to watch the trailer

For the official footage, watch the trailer linked above. Additionally, Luigi’s Mansion will join five other GameCube titles in the Classics lineup: F-Zero GX, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Strikers, Chibi-Robo!, and Soulcalibur II.

Finally, the October 30 release means players can download the original game right before Halloween weekend, giving time to revisit the mansion with the whole trilogy available on Switch 2.
