While North Americans like myself know the game to be Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, everyone else in the world, including our friends across the Pacific in Japan, know the game as Luigi's Mansion 2. Nintendo is advertising the game as something spooky for Nintendo 3DS owners to enjoy. Regardless of which country you live in, most everyone will get to play Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon/Luigi's Mansion 2 when it arrives later this month.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS) North American Commercial
It's coming-- creeping around the corner... Why, it's Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (a.k.a. Luigi's Mansion 2) for the Nintendo 3DS. This North American commercial for the game is well done from my limited commercial-creating experience. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon spooks North American store shelves on March 24.

My Five Most Wanted Nintendo 3DS Games of 2013
This week of five special themed articles has reached its conclusion, and with it comes my five most wanted Nintendo 3DS games for 2013. The System of the Year 2012 seems to be just as hot for 2013. Come take a look at these five titles and you'll find out for yourself why.
Pokemon X/Y
Pokemon as a series stayed tried and true to its roots, even on more powerful hardware like the Nintendo DS. However, now on the 3DS, the series is finally "evolving" with Pokemon X and Y. This pair of 3DS titles due out worldwide in October will feature full-fledged three-dimensional graphics-- battles, environments, characters, etc. Even with the short announcement trailer (as seen right here), Poke-fanatics across the globe are salivating at all of the possibilities the new dimension adds to the series. As someone who started to grow tired of the franchise, it's lovely to see Pokemon try something new and truly advance itself.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
After the extremely safe Animal Crossing: City Folk, Nintendo is shaking things up in a big way for Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Now the player assumes the role of the mayor, a role ole' Tortimer vacated. Mass customization is the name of New Leaf's game, allowing the player to place landmarks around their town, create patterns for furniture, renovate their home, wear more detailed clothing (in the previous games only shirts and hats were able to be customized), and much more. New Leaf is without a doubt my most anticipated Nintendo 3DS game for 2013, and it cannot come out soon enough.
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
The original Luigi's Mansion was a launch game for the Nintendo GameCube back in 2001. Now, Luigi is once again getting a game of his own to star in with the follow-up, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. This time around the cowardly plumber isn't just visiting one mansion-- he's visiting several. Each mansion contains different themes, enemies, and puzzles for Luigi and the player to solve. Shigeru Miyamoto has stated that Dark Moon is to possess more puzzles than the original GameCube game. Bring it on, Nintendo, as I'm sure there are plenty of 3DS owners ready to test their mental matter while experiencing some fun, E-rated scares.
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Nintendo's first foray with DLC on the 3DS in Japan, Fire Emblem: Awakening is the latest in the long-running strategy RPG series. Awakening brings with it new concepts, such as the aforementioned DLC, but there's also other things as well. I'm alluding to things like being able to create your own character to great depth, a more intricate class and job system, and much more. The February 4 release date for Fire Emblem: Awakening is less than a month away, but it seems so far away, doesn't it? ...Especially for our European pals.
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate
The Castlevania series returns to its 2D roots with the long-winded title of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate, a Nintendo 3DS exclusive. The March 2013 release game will feature multiple playable characters, including Trevor Belmont, Simon Belmont, and Alucard. Unlike the previous 2D entries in the franchise, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - Mirror of Fate has earned itself an M for Mature rating by the ESRB. Whether that affects sales in any way is up in the air, or whether or not the lack of longtime 2D Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi will harm or help the game in any way either.
The end of our look at what currently announced games for 2013 excite me most has come. I hope you enjoyed seeing the top titles that have me quivering in my boots with anticipation. Next week will be the third week in a row that is special. We will have five reviews in five days. I hope you look forward to that! See you then!

Nintendo 3DS Sizzle Reel - October 25th, 2012
Nintendo showcased a myriad of titles during their Nintendo Direct presentation, and what better way to do so in a flash than a sizzle reel? Such games featured include Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the first footage of the 3DS version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, among others. The 3DS library is shaping up. Here's hoping the prices become more affordable.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS) Gameplay Footage
While there is another video from GameXplain, this video from Nintendo World Report is easier on the eyes. I didn't want to spoil myself too much on the game, but I did watch a little bit of the footage. Luigi is just adorable, and the actual gameplay across numerous haunted locales looks vintage Luigi's Mansion. Here's hoping the game comes out around Halloween-- the marketing writes itself!

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS) E3 Trailer
An old haunt from last E3 shows up once more for this E3 in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. The game features multiple mansions to explore and suck up ghosts in as well as some stellar visuals. The folks behind Punchout!! for Wii and Mario Strikers: Charged are behind the development of this title. Look forward to the game coming out sometime this holiday season.
