Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has online multiplayer (OP updated)

Yep, that trailer is very explicit about the multiplayer being online. It's good to see they went with my Four Swords idea for the game, too.

The bitching pile is finally at an end!

One mode
no voice chat
It's not competitive

People can find something!
 
The only possible downside is the mentioned "frustrating controls"...but then again, I never had a problem with DKCR waggle-rolling, SS' swordplay, or Kid Icarus' analog-touchscreen combo, so, eh.
 
This is fantastic news! OP, I'd recommend deleting the old posts, everything but the latest updates explaining the "scarescraper" and such. People need to know the good news!!

I changed it to reverse chronological order so it should be more readable now
 
omg, there's an endless 'scarescraper' mode that goes on forever. The more I read and see about this, the happier I get!
 
There's a PR now

MULTIPLAYER MODE MAKES A GHOSTLY APPEARANCE IN LUIGI'S MANSION: DARK MOON


Jan. 24, 2013

Nintendo has revealed new information about Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon launching exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on March 24. Luigi stumbles through multiple mansions to capture ghosts and solve puzzles armed with his trusty ghost-catching vacuum cleaner, the Poltergust 5000, and in a series first, the game will feature local and online multiplayer modes, as well as Download Play capabilities.

Join up with up to four players and journey into the ScareScraper, which is jam-packed with paranormal creatures. Additional systems and games may be required for multiplayer modes and are sold separately. In Hunter Mode, each player controls a different color Luigi and is challenged to hunt down ghosts and use effective teamwork to clear each floor of the tower before the clock strikes zero. Bonuses and upgrades can be earned depending on how well the team performs. There are also boss battles at the top of each tower. Players can choose the number of floors in this mode ranging from five, 10 or 25. They can adjust the difficulty to cater to both new and veteran gamers. Fallen players can even be revived by their teammates to keep the adventure going.

When Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon launches on March 24, shoppers can purchase the packaged game as usual at retail locations nationwide. Or they can simply purchase and download the game on their own from the Nintendo eShop using a wireless broadband connection. Regardless of their purchasing method, the game sells for a suggested retail price of $39.99. For more information about Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, visit http://luigismansion.nintendo.com.

Its an online coop "dungeon crawler" WOW

The only thing i dont like is that they used Luigi clones, a not Mario, Wario and Waluigi.
Of how Next Level usually thinks that was probably the proposition, and of how Nintendo usually thinks im pretty sure they were them the ones that said "no, use luigi clones".
