This is the game I’ve been most looking forward to on the Switch. Hopefully it will have as much vacuuming and furniture humping fun as the original Gamecube version did. Luigi is once again the main character along with his trusty ghost dog Polterpup and Professor E. Gadd to craft his gadgets. It will be a wild tour of the mansion to save your friends. Also Gooigi!
