And to quote the Smash announcer, hopefully: "Gooigi".

Luigi's Mansion 3 has scored the perfect release date.

The ghost-hunting game will launch in all territories on Hallowe'en, October 31. A new trailer is also available:

When Luigi’s friends go missing on vacation, it’s up to our reluctant hero to save them from the ghosts in the Last Resort hotel! Join forces with Gooigi, slam ghosts, & prepare for a spooky treat when #LuigisMansion3 arrives to #NintendoSwitch on 10/31!https://t.co/3fg4O2t6PB pic.twitter.com/iNM9BKNKg5

With October 31 falling on a Thursday, Luigi's Mansion is the first Nintendo first-party retail release to not launch on a Friday since Pokémon X and Y launched on Saturday October 12, 2013.

OK. Don't know why it took them so long to nail that date down. Looking forward to it.

Seems odd releasing right on Halloween. Why not a week or two in advance?

Luigi's Mansion 1&2 are still sitting on store shelves so I guess they're trying to clear them out and delaying 3 to avoid cannibalizing sales.
