If this is real, I'll buy the shit out of it. Since I don't have a 3DS it'll be good if they port a few more across.
The GameCube original featured a Game Boy Color as Luigi's GPS.
As for my two cents on this whole subject -- it seems plausible, insofar as the game took several years for Next Level Games to make, and Nintendo might want to squeeze some extra mileage out of it on the WiiU.
It's also the Year of Luigi.
I'd double-dip, for sure.

Product listing is guaranteed to come from Nintendo. http://www.nintendonews.com/wii-u/n...ansion-dark-moon-wii-u-listing-is-guaranteed/
Man, this is looking good then. I will get it for Wii U if it's gotten the HD treatment.

Hadn't gotten around to getting this on the 3DS, a Wii U port sounds perfect. I far prefer games on my television than my handhelds.
If they want to move anything else from 3DS to Wii U (Kid Icarus?) I definitely wouldn't mind!

This and Kid Icarus: Uprising would be perfect in HD, especially if they changed up the pacing in Luigi's Mansion so you don't get booted out of the mansion every time you accomplish something.
Hmm I dunno, that just sounded like a random clueless customer service rep copy and pasting generic Newegg FAQs to me. Does not give me any confidence that they investigated the actual listing.

Well, now that Nintendo knows that takes them 6 to do HD revisions maybe we will see more releases like that....

Oh man, I hope it's optimized. I enjoyed what I played but something about the stage complete screen bugged the crap out of me.

Did recently Direct said that Luigi Mansion: DArk Moon and Kid Icarus Uprising are getting special contents or something like that?
I doubt this is happening.
That, and, does anyone really want this? They'd have to do a lot more than bump up the resolution to make this game look proper on a next-gen console. It's pretty low-poly and mission structure is bite-sized.
Excellent on a handheld, but on a console not really.

Actually, I'd argue the missions were a bit long for a portable, due to the inability to save mid-mission and the amount of backtracking involved. The whole game feels like it's straining the 3DS to the limit. Chances are higher-res assets, etc, exist at NGL and would translate well to WiiU. The levels are already intricate in their geometry and environmental detail, and the characters are insanely well-animated. You wouldn't need to tweak much to get it looking great on WiiU. The increased lighting, resolution and framerate, along with true twin-stick controls, could work nicely for this game.
they say year of luigi is another reason why it would release, but does anyone think this would actually release this year? just a few months left.

Maybe as a digital release like Revelations? Could be I guess.

They all used the CTR code so they are using the 3DS code. I assume its just speculation

Speaking of that, it would be great if they included another online mode. Maybe similar to the Nintendo land game? Perfect opportunity, I think.
I do really hope this is true. I've been wanting to get it but I'm just not big into portable gaming.

Ugh, I hope it's not happening. I'd rather the guys at Next Level Games spend their time and resources on a new game. I don't care how desperate the WiiU is, I've already played this game and so have a ton of Nintendo fans. Only hardcore gaffers are going to double dip.

Hmm, would I double dip in this? I loved Dark Moon a lot, but idk...
Would totally jump on a KI: Uprising port, though.

I have been saying this for a minute and this game is a great addition to Wii U library.
With that being said, New Egg? Not exactly promising but very welcomed if true.

If it's true, I wonder if we might see more of this sort of thing coming down the line to pad out the Wii U lineup. Especially since the handheld and console software teams have been consolidated, and Iwata has been talking about trying to create multiple devices with a unified OS's and whatnot. Now obviously that doesn't apply to Luigi's Mansion, but I could see them testing the waters for putting out the same game across multiple platforms.

I am thinking fake or their will be an Uprising

Considering I haven't gotten Dark Moon yet, if they released on Wii U I'd probably get it there.
. Would be nice to see, especially if it came out sometime this month for Halloween or something.
Hell there's a chance I'd double dip if I liked the game enough

Wild guess, what if it's the game Armature is making for this winter and maybe with Bluepoint (the NA HD-remake king), just a random top of my head guess. XD

Based on WWHD and interviews with Nintendo, isn't it now known that ports to WiiU take very little time and dev power?
So all those Kingdom Hearts games shouldn't have existed on any handhelds by that logic.
Well...that argument might have merit with certain people.

This. I never like seeing a series that started out as a big console title get downgraded to handheld.
I agree. The 3DS one is still selling, right? Them trying for "evergreen" titles and all. Also, probably a lot of the Wii U audience already has this on 3DS, hence people talking about double dipping.
It would make a lot more sense to do a direct sequel or remake the first, or some combination of. Easier to convince the fans of Dark Moon to buy it that way.

I can't wait until all our hopes and dreams are obliterated.
It's one thing to revamp a ten year old console Zelda title. It's another to port a year-old 3DS game.
I know it only took TWWhd 6 months to make, but I'd rather have NLG's next title 6 months earlier.

While it would be nice to see a visually upgraded version of Dark Moon, I too would like to see NLG working on something brand new instead.

I would like to see this, but it's true that it doesn't need it. IMO, It should have been developed for Wii U in the first place, but that ship sailed. I think that instead of porting new games, they should continue reviving older ones. And if any game deserves a remake right now, it's Metroid Prime.

I sure as hell do!
Metroid Prime Trilogy was a fine "remake" and it only came out recently.
If any game needs a remake, it's F-Zero GX on WiiU and Majoras Mask on 3DS.

unless they add in some brand new modes, it doesn't really seem very nintendo like to port from handheld to console. The only instance I know of where they've done something similar is the Warioware port from gba to GCN, which featured a new multiplayer mode.
gba release: March 21, 2003
gcn release: October 17, 2003
