"Luigi's Mansion, the original game in the glorious ghost-hunting series, was a launch title released for the GameCube in 2001. However, beyond a remake on the much underloved 3DS in 2018, the 24-year-old classic has long been tough to play without using emulation. And it's worth playing, because it's completely brilliant! So it's tremendous news that October 30 the game is being added to the GameCube collection on what's now called Nintendo Classics, available to anyone with a Switch 2 and the expanded subscription."
"Poor Luigi, ever trembling in the shadow of his brave brother, is notified that luck is finally going his way, and he's won a mansion! Except, he never entered the contest, and it turns out the place is a haunted wreck. Thankfully, scientist Professor Elvin Gadd has made a base in the place (presumably squatting?), although explains the building only popped into existence a few days earlier."
Luigi's Mansion launched as a GameCube debut in 2001 and remains a celebrated ghost-hunting adventure. A 2018 3DS remake exists, but the original has been hard to access without emulation. The game centers on Luigi winning a mysterious mansion that turns out to be haunted, Professor Elvin Gadd's lab, and Mario trapped inside; Luigi uses the Poltergust 3000 to vacuum ghosts and clear rooms. The title initially met mixed reactions due to its sub-10-hour length and because it spotlighted Luigi rather than Mario. The original will be added to the Nintendo Classics GameCube collection on October 30 for Switch 2 expanded subscribers.
