Luigi’s Mansion was a curious launch title for the GameCube back in 2001, and it’s even more curious as an end-of-life title for the 3DS. It’s got the feel of an eccentric mid-generation release, a July stopgap to keep you going while you wait for the next major title. But Nintendo’s faith in Luigi’s Mansion, which has taken on a cult status over the years and has a second sequel due to release on Switch next year, isn’t misplaced–the game still has a lot of charm.
Luigi’s Mansion sees Mario’s put-upon younger brother exploring a mansion after receiving a letter telling him that he won it in a contest. He arrives to find that not only is the mansion haunted and full of ghosts, but that Mario received a similar letter and has not been seen since he entered.

Xbox controllers are available in a wide range of colors currently, but when it comes to a mix of red, white, and blue, this patriotic model designed by Razer makes for an eye-catching design. Inspired by Captain America and Anthony Mackie’s take on the character, this particular Xbox wireless controller and charging station combo usually retails for $180, but right now, the Captain America combo pack is down to an astonishingly low $80. Much like Woot’s deal on the Star Wars Stormtrooper controller, we expect this to sell out pretty quickly. Woot is an Amazon-owned company that offers free shipping for Prime members.

Majima fans have been waiting years for the Mad Dog of Shimano to make his return as a main story character. After his protagonist run in Yakuza 0, the Majima Everywhere system in Yakuza Kiwami, and the short-lived but very satisfying saga ending in Yakuza Kiwami 2, fans of the beloved character have probably spent a chunk of their free time screenshotting and recording every frame of his appearances in the games, holding on to the little moments we can have with him.
The years of waiting around have finally come to an end. Ryu Ga Gotoku (RGG) studio has released a seven-minute announcement trailer of its newest title Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii where Majima shines again, and this time as the sole protagonist. Even though RGG has been releasing full-length games almost …
The Mario & Luigi RPG series started on the Game Boy Advance, and even many years and a few iterations later, it has always reflected a connection to those roots. The two-button Game Boy Advance was the impetus for the series’ central hook: Each brother is assigned to a face button and you control them both at once. Even as the series has progressed to platforms with more face buttons, the core concept has remained defined by its initial limitations. Now brought to the Switch, Mario & Luigi: Brothership feels like a conscious effort to escape those limitations, resulting in a lengthy RPG that can’t quite sustain its own weight.
In Brothership, several denizens of the Mushroom Kingdom are magically swept into the new setting of Concordia–a vast sea dott…
Attendees at CinemaCon were treated to the first look at A Quiet Place prequel that shows how the alien attacks began. The movie will focus on a new character played by Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o and helmed by Pig director Michael Sarnoski.
While the film still has a year before release, the footage gave us an idea of how the first day went down. It opens up in New York City and Lupita’s unnamed character on the bus with her cat. Suddenly there are strange giant sounds all around. The bus stops and the invasion begins right there and then. The back half of her bus is ripped off and we see New Yorkers standing in the street staring at the ships crashing to earth, looking like a meteor shower.
There’s also footage of people learning they have to be silent, to survive and ther…
