Is it just me, or does the texture applied to Luigi's model on the cover and artwork make him look kinda like he's made out of clay?

I get a Wallace and Gromit vibe from it, yeah.

 

[GCX]

The US cover art with the saturation level of the PAL cover art and we got us a winner.

The US cover obviously isn't that oversaturated in reality. It's just the image in the op.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

I love how the artworks are styled like stop motion clay animation.

If only there was a WiiU version that looked exactly like this. Same with the Paper Mario Sticker Star artworks.

EDIT Meh, cant find a higher resolution were you can see the wallace and gromit clay texture in high quality

 

[papercamm]

Can't get here soon enough.

 

[dankir]

Wow at those bullshots, wished the game looked that clean.

edit: Oh wait its artwork.

 

[Neo Child]

that artwork looks amazing, like, if only the game looked like that

 

[LiK]

US cover is fugly

Wii U 3D Mario...

Totally, it's really evident in the one where luigi is running away from the ghosts. The clay style would be great for HD, and Luigi would overall be great for the Gamepad.

[Pyrrhus]

Why "Dark Moon?" What's the significance of the subtitle?

 

[qizah]

Still can't believe Nintendo actually made a sequel to Luigi's Mansion.

Can't wait.

 

[Chittagong]

.

dat CMYK conversion

 

[Neuromancer]

Cover looks fine to me, gets the job done.

 

[Dark Octave]

If they really wanted to, they could do that (pics in the OP) on the WiiU.

 

[BruiserBear]

I kinda like the cover.

Hope the game is good.

 

[eareboucas]

I like the first cover a lot. From both of the times I played of the game at E3, it seemed pretty awesome.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Looks glad. I have this preordered for $30 on NewEgg

And Professor K. Tastroff for the french version.
Yes, it mean the same thing.

 

[Tagg9]

Like I mentioned in the other thread, a few Canadian retailers have the NA date set as March 10.

 

[Neiteio]

The "Dark Moon" is the crystal that controls the ghosts, keeping them pacified. When it breaks, the ghosts go wild, and it's up to Luigi to catch them and piece the Dark Moon back together. That's where the subtitle comes from. (Someone asked, I think)

 

[Niraj]

Like I mentioned in the other thread, a few Canadian retailers have the NA date set as March 10.

That'd be awesome since I could pick it up for my birthday

Not a huge fan of the box art, but this is a day one for me.

What's the pun with the English version.

 

[TriGen]

Like I mentioned in the other thread, a few Canadian retailers have the NA date set as March 10.

That would be sweet -- and it's realistic.

 

[gerudoman]

Not sure yet but this could be the PAL cover.

Probably not, althought I like it. If I'm not mistaken, is not going to be "Dark Moon" in Europe, just Luigi's Mansion 2. Odd.

 

[Niraj]

What's the pun with the English version.

Elvin Gadd= E. Gadd -> egad, which is a mild exclamation, usually expressing surprise etc. I think it's derived from "oh god!"

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

What's the pun with the English version.

Egads!


I want that release date NOW

 

[LeleSocho]

US gets the better boxart

 

[Shadow Hog]

Oh man, that plasticine texture is awesome. What a shame that would be utterly indiscernible at the resolution the 3DS runs.

 

[Morts]

Amazing this game isn't out yet. It's been my most anticipated 3DS game since it was announced.

 

[Zarovitch]

when?

3DS have a really good line up.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Promo art for this and Paper Mario Sticker Star looked amazingly good. I'd love to play a game that actually looked like the promos

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Hopefully we get a Direct soon with 3DS/Wii U dates. Maybe after the earnings release.

 

[Hero of Legend]

NOA covers are always posted online though some muck-up with CYMK vs RGB or whatever.

The box on the shelf will look just peachy.

Hopefully we'll get a proper shot quickly though.

 

[schwabdizzle]

I hope this game longer than 8 hours.

 

[Hero of Legend]

 

[Chrom]

Wow, I think that's some great artwork. Hope there's a Nintendo Direct coming up soon!

 

[qizah]

Looks way better.

 

[Sora_N]

Screens look good, I hate the cover though. Weird colours. I may print a custom cover for mine instead.

 

[Ran rp]

nvm beaten

 

[TheCongressman1]

It's still weirdly over saturated... Hmmm. I'm gonna be making a custom cover for sure. I will be posting that in the cover art thread later on if anyone else is interested.

SYSTEM SELLER
...well, it sold me anyway, can't wait! best mario bro + ghostbusting was a short but enjoyable GC classic for me

I hope I'm ghost busting by March.

me too but i just want it dated...whenever AC drops though, it's gonna get busy

 

[hachi]

Looks lovely. Saturation is a good thing in this context. I like it to have an overtly neon-ified, Halloween TV Special look. That's what Luigi's Mansion is all about.

 

[VGChampion]

This and Animal Crossing. All I need for my 3DS. Well, and Poke now that that's announced. Gimme gimme gimme.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

What do you think these "Online Interactions" will be?

Expanded, online-capable version of the Nintendo Land Luigi's Mansion game.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

 

[zroid]

yeah this is quite nice. It's from GameFly?

Hopefully the real thing is closer to this one.

Edit: same cover at Best Buy http://www.bestbuy.ca/multimedia/Products/500x500/101/10172/10172225.jpg
Edit2: on second glance, it's not quite the same, Best Buy's is a little more saturated. Still looks good though.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Love the cover and can't wait for this one.

Also, can Aardman please make a short to advertise this - it'd be perfect.

 

[John Harker]

I like it, though up close Luigi looks Wallace & Grommit

 

[Ushojax]

I like the boxart, but why does it look so damn oversaturated?

Loads of official boxart images do for some reason. The retail box is always correctly saturated though.
