While I appreciate grezzo's consistently pretty good efforts at all the remasters they do, Luigi's Mansion just does not work on the 3ds. While everything in the game is basically intact here, nothing was really butchered at all, the controls just get hit so hard. The circle pad just does NOT work like an analog stick of any kind does, and having to tilt the system to aim up and down is decently annoying. For reference I'm able to consistently get gold frames on every single ghost on the regular mansion (except for Luggs and Weston, who are kind of impossible to consistently gold frame on anything but hidden), but on the 3ds they were a rarity. It doesn't even feel that good to use the circle pad for this either. Definitely go for the gamecube original first, literally any controller with an analog stick (and analog triggers if you can get em) works better than this does. Still don't hate this version, but it's not gonna be one I play frequently in the slightest.
