Luigi's Mansion 2 Announced For 3DS

The much-loved GameCube title is finally getting a sequel on Nintendo's latest handheld. Luigi's Mansion 2 channels the same boundless charm and ghost-vacuuming gameplay as the original.

The video Nintendo showed at its E3 2011 press conference made Luigi's Mansion 2 look like a ton of fun. Fans will be familiar with the flashlight-and-vacuum mechanics. The video also showed a wide variety of haunted objects spooking Luigi.

Nintendo didn't say anything about a release date for Luigi's Mansion 2, so I'm betting we won't see the game at retail until 2012.
