My first thought is that it would make more sense for a game to go from an underappreciated console that no one has to the much loved one that everyone has (Wii U to 3DS). But the Wii U needs all the help it can get.

I could understand if they put a B-team on a port and not take any time and resources away from the real talent that develops new games. I hated the original Luigi's Mansion though, so this one would have to be worlds better for me to even consider picking up.

it is. everything they do they are testing for the future.  My theory is that a dedicated home console for them is a risky, high stakes, zero sum game for the for the most part. Handhelds by themselves are getting riskier to launch and maintain for the most part as well. But if they could combine the two into a fantastic all-purpose device, then at least they could count on one superstrong revenue stream, instead of  two possibly subpar ones. Then as well, that helps explain why they are not interested in the high tech war. If they want to combine the two devices into one next gen, they have to keep them in the same ballpark graphics and technology wise. All this shit they have been doing that just seems like they are dicking around, stuff like transporting miis and dabbling in connectivity, it is all just a means to an end.

... Its not a poor port at all.

 Its just a very handheld-esque game and it suits handhelds better imo.

Its a bundle yet to be revelead. It happens a lot, since the code of product relate do 3DS

Moving on...

Would be cool if it's true, but I prefer a completley new Luigi's Mansion OR a complete new Luigi game.

Luigi's Vaccum very often does suck.

Co-sign, I own a lot of Gamecube games but the original Luigi's Mansion is one game that I haven't owned or played.   If they made this a double bill with both games then it'd be a definite buy.

Its not a bad idea to have it on both systems... as long as they have a save feature like MH3U. Wish RE:R had it!!

Nintendo mentioned that more cross play games are coming... could this be one of them? 3DS owners would get it for free and i, as a Wii U owner who didn`t get this for my 3DS, would gladly buy it! :)

i would really welcome this news. I loved the first luigi's mansion and was pretty bummed when i heard the new one was for the 3ds since i don 't do any mobile gaming. The only downside i could see would be the graphics would be subpar for a console. Didn't really care for revelations trip to console land graphics wise. Nintendo's art style tends to be more timeless though, so maybe it'd be fine.
