And, even though we know that it is a toned down horror game designed to be cutesy, it did legitimately get me to jump out of my chair when I saw King Boo in the later part of the game. Ill definitely continue playing this, especially if other players continue playing the ScareScraper."

GamingUnion.net: "When Luigi's Mansion released on the GameCube, it lifted up Luigi's standing in the eyes of many gamers. He was no longer a side-kick, he was now much more of a fan-favourite character. Sucking up ghosts in a haunted mansion with a vacuum cleaner proved to be a nice escape from the traditional platformer game genre that Super Mario games are known for. And even though the game was short in length , it become one of Nintendo's cult classics. Now over ten years later, the long awaited sequel, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has arrived on the Nintendo 3DS and it proves to be a great follow up."

DarkStation: "The moment-to-moment navigation and ghost-busting is so innately enjoyable that it often negated my complaints, though. Mostly, Dark Moon is an excellent adventure game that smartly builds upon one of Nintendos most unique and underutilized properties. It could have used a little more balancing and little less padding, but otherwise, this is a grand start to the Year of Luigi."

An emphasis on action and a mission-driven structure bring Luigi back to clear away the pesky poltergeists that have taken over Evershade Valley and restore the Dark Moon in the sky in an enjoyable adventure with only a few missteps along the way.

Paste: "The best parts of Dark Moon feel like an interactive silent filmthe bumbling yet capable Luigi exploring on his own, fearing and falling for a mansions subtle tricksand are complemented by superb animation and audio work. When the game interrupts that structure with banal instructional calls from E. Gadd or ends it abruptly once youve met a missions parameters, it creates a pace of play thats convenient (save problems notwithstanding) at the expense of some wanted control. Even so, the sheer amount of detail and creativity in Dark Moons iterative design makes experiencing another Luigi caper more than worth the small inconveniences."

While Nintendos penchant for going back to the well of tried and true franchises has worn thin for many a gamer, its hard to fault their decision in bringing Luigi back to the forefront to the point of declaring it the Year of Luigi even. In this case, we revisit the neglected green plumbers lone starring role in a sequel to his 2001 GameCube title, Luigis Mansion. The 3DS version, subtitled Dark Moon, is obviously trying to reclaim the magic of its predecessor, which incidentally managed to be the most successful title on a relatively disappointing system. Its hard to argue that they havent, but while it overcomes some of the shortcomings of the original, theres still some flaws that linger and serve to keep Luigi in his brothers shadow as far as gaming perfection is concerned. Find out more when Michael LeParc of Gametactics reviews Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon for the 3DS.

Callahan explained that March 2013 saw 20 percent fewer new releases, but these games generated nearly 70 percent more dollar sales per SKU than last year.
"With solid performances of new games like , 3DS software sales increased over 50 percent from last March."
March was a positive month for publisher Take-Two, as the strength of BioShock Infinite combined with continued sales of helped the publisher achieve the highest sales for an individual company since the NPD Group began tracking retail sales in 1995.
"Two strong launches for the month included Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite, which were the highest first month sales for games in these franchises," Callahan said.
Switching to accessories, this sector was flat in dollar sales during March 2013, coming in at $216.1 million.
