If it were, that would shatter Nintendo's rep for making "kiddie" games.

Survival Horror is a more crowded genre than rail shooters on the Wii.

Good ones on the other hand are few and far between (though hopefully that will change).

No it should have the same excellent charm of the first one.

If it was a M-rated survival horror game, it would ruin the feel of the original and would not be the same game. I also see no chance in hell of Nintendo making a M-rated Mario game. So I don't want it to happen and I think it is safe to say it will never happen.

I thought this thread was going to be Should Luigi's Mansion get a play on the Wii port and I was going to say HELL YES!!!

Specially if they can add some levels/puzzles to it.

Should Luigi's Mansion get a sequel even though it was not well received? HELL YES!!!!

Yes. Yes it should.

Rated M for Monkeys. There were not enough in the first game.

There is a lot of potential for a Mansion sequel on Wii.

I haven't seen any videos but the Ghostbusters game should be a similar game where you suck up ghosts.

Oh yeah, give Mario a gun and have him shoot hookers... It worked great for Shadow, right?

Seriously, turning a cheery franchise grim and gritty may sound cool at first but five minutes later you'll wonder what made you even consider that retarded idea. I thought this nonsensical worship of the M rating had died with the Gamecube but it seems that some people are still not over the fact that nobody except the 12-24 age bracket gives a **** about "kiddie" games and many people outside of that bracket are even repulsed by excessive violence. Of course you're not going to hear that on the internet because the kids-that-want-to-be-men are the majority here and make it seem like any significant number of people actually wants franchises to get butchered like that.

Luigi's Mansion 2 should simply be titled Luigi's Mansions. It should heavily feature the Poltergust 9000, which can transform from a vacuum into a go kart, jet pack, or enormous mecha. Luigi will have to fight the crazed ghosts of all of his friends, including Peach and Mario, to force them back into their bodies. Putting them back will require completing a CPR minigame. Luigi will also regularly run across an overly friendly ghost dog who will lick his face, sliming him, whenever they meet. Over the game, Luigi will go from fearing the dog to being annoyed, to finally starting to like him and giving him treats. In the end, the dog will be turned into a horrible demon, and Luigi will have to put it down, Ol' Yeller style. The traumatic experience will leave Luigi scarred for life, and instead of being cowardly, all future appearances of Luigi in Mario games will depict him as an amoral killer. In fact, he'll off Bowser for good and become the bad guy for all future Mario games. Instead of kidnapping princesses, his motivation will be to bulldoze the Mushroom Kingdom and build more mansions.

I always assumed that if Luigi ever did snap and become evil it would be because of his brother hogging all the attention.

But I don't want Luigi to be evil.

An M-rated Mario game would be idiotic. Anyone (who isn't a complete dolt anyway) who asks for Nintendo to create M-rated content obviously means new content, not taking what is already there and completely overhauling it. No one wants to change Mario or Kirby or Pikachu. They just want more than that.

M-rated Mario is the strawman argument used by the "Nintendo is always right" crowd against those that suggest that Nintendo provide more variety by making games that cater more to the tastes of older gamers. It's the old "What, you want Mario killing hookers?!" crap.

I'm sure someone will bring up Zelda. I maintain that cel-shaded Zelda was the change. The request for "mature Zelda" was merely requesting that Nintendo bring back the style they had already established. And in the end we didn't get blood-and-guts M-rated Zelda. Link didn't kill hookers, Zelda didn't prance around in g-string, and the music wasn't replaced with heavy metal or hip hop. Just like Metroid and Fire Emblem and the N64 Zelda games we got a game that still felt very much like Nintendo, just with a graphic style that isn't so cutesy and takes itself a little more seriously.

For a Luigi's Mansion sequel I think it would work well as Wii-Ware. The original game was fun but just lacking in value. It was a total rental game and these days we might as well use Wii-Ware for games like that. No point charging $50 for a weekend of gameplay with no replay value. But Luigi's Mansion's greatest flaw was always that it was just a poor choice as the flagship title for a launch. It wasn't the right kind of game to try to use to sell consoles.

Also, partway into the game, Luigi is mutilated in an attack and the only way E. Gadd can save his life is by fusing him with the Poltergust, making him a cyborg. Then you can use the money you collect to buy upgrades for Luigi's body like missile launchers, shields, and giant subwoofers, but only after you clear the ghosts out of the auto body shop. You can also give him custom paint jobs after you clear the paint shop and buy new clothes after you clear the clothing store.

You can also find the four legendary Vacuums of Power and merge with them to form Luigitron, but only in certain boss battles.

We've already seen them appeal to older gamers, now everybody's whining that 30+ is too old.

they should make an m rated zelda that doesnt have link gannon or zelda and call it something else. Maybe New Franchise?

Stogi · « **Reply #24 on:** April 14, 2009, 04:12:26 PM »

YES YES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YES

Edit: Ahem. I honestly think that it would be a smart business move if Nintendo, not blatantly, but systematically released new franchises the borrows heavily from existing franchises.

Zelda, Metroid, Pikmin, and yes, even Pokemon would have their M-rated counterparts. It wouldn't play exactly like those games, but the underlying structure would be there.

I'd buy em'.
