When I first played Luigi's Mansion in the 3DS (I never owned a GC) I had previously read about it and I thought that it could be the kind of game I would be liking, even if it was short compared with other Nintendo games.

Once I got the game, my impressions were confirmed as it was quite enjoyable even if it felt old at this point. What surprised me the most was the originality and vibes I was getting of it: a game where almost everything could be interacted, where puzzles really astonished you and everything was charming and very cautiously chosen. The boss fights and ghosts in general were absolute gold as well, just like Luigi's personality.

Even if short and a little bit old-fashioned, the game was set to be considered a piece of art by myself just because of its aura and the feelings it transmits, like a old magic of creativeness and excellence that there was once at Nintendo and that it might not be there anymore as it was in this era.
