"Nintendo has a long (like, real long) history with arcade gaming, a tradition that's continued into recent times with stuff like F-Zero and Mario Kart. But those are two games you would expect to see in an arcade. Nintendo's latest arcade title, Luigi's Mansion, is not."

"Yup. Luigi's Mansion. Nintendo has handed the GameCube and 3DS series off to Capcom, who are currently testing it in Japanese arcades. Given the type of cabinet being used, Arcade Heroes speculates that this Luigi's Mansion will actually be a new title, and a light gun one at that."

Bigger news is that they're still making arcade games.

I would rather it be a cinematic style button masher than a light gun game. If they concentrate more on the "sucking up ghosts mechanic" it would take away the adventure aspect that I like about those games.

I know being an arcade it will be more linear. And more likely it won't have as many hidden items and no going back to get them. But they can still have a good adventure action arcade if they ignored that annoying vaccuum.

I wonder how that game will play and will it come to the arcades in the US?
