Gaming Where's the hype for Luigi's Mansion 2?

it's pretty pointless collecting money after the 2nd mansion i had all the upgrades by than

It's only important now for the ranks....( I think it could be more upgrade)

 

[MarioFanatic64]

As far as I know there are no ranks in this one.

Money does become pointless after upgrading the Poltergust to the max.

Except for the challenge of getting the most money you can from each stage, nope, not really a point.

So I picked this game up yesterday, funny story:

I go to the WalMart in my town to buy this game, because EB Games never had it. I bought it, brought it home, opened it up, saw the instruction booklet but it's only French. I think to myself
"Weird, usually the english is first". Looked through the rest of the pamphlets, nothing. Now I like to have my games complete. Sometimes I like to read the instruction booklet because it reminds me of something that I forget. But nope, no english instructions. I know you can access them on the 3DS, but sometimes it's nice to just get a quick look at the controls and go "OH YA!".

Anyways, I did a google search, and found that I'm not the only one, it's a lot of us in Canada who only received the french manual regardless of where we lived. I thought that was odd, because I heard the Pokemon game that launched the same day, had both manuals. I contacted Nintendo with the following:

I just bought my copy of Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon. I'm living in British Columbia Canada, and it didn't come with an english instruction manual, instead only the french. After a quick google search I see that I'm not the only one affected by this. There are tons of people like me who like to read the pamphlets and such, as more often than not, I forget that I can do something and the instructions remind me.

I'm aware that you can access the instructions on the 3DS itself, but I'd really like a physical copy as it just feels better.

I read that apparently it's a law in Canada that all games have to be shipped with french instructions, but there's no law about english instructions. Which is baffling. If there are instructions on the cartridge itself that are also in french, why is there even a french instruction pamphlet?

I'm just wondering if it's at all possible to get a copy of the physical instructions so I can put in my case.

Thank You,

I get the reply:

I have included an attachment to this email with an English version of the Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon instruction manual. A PDF version of the instruction book can also be downloaded and printed from our support website:

I'm just curious as to why there's only a French instruction booklet available. I get that you guys want to be more green. But if both the french and english manuals can be accessed on the 3DS console itself, why include a French instruction booklet and not a English one, or why add one to begin with?

Their response:

Hello,

Thank you for writing back. I'm sorry to hear you never received an English manual with Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and I can understand your disappointment. Unfortunately, I don't know why you and certain others only received a French version. However, by using your email address, I'm happy to report that I was able to access your Club Nintendo account and send you an English copy of the manual to the mailing address you have on file.

This manual will ship via Canada Post and should arrive in 4-11 business days once it leaves our warehouse. I hope you can still enjoy your game!

Sincerely,

Kevin Anderson

That's cool, I'm happy I'm getting it.

Also sorry for the messy post, tried to clean it up, can't figure it out.

Good guy Nintendo!
That's awesome of them.

Yeah, it seemed to be just a Canada thing from what I gathered. I didn't even ask for it, he just went ahead and did it anyways, so that's cool.

Is the french booklet an actual booklet? The US insert is a four panel fold out, like a poster. Just wondering.

Oh no, it's just that, but so used to saying instruction book..

Is there any way to copy your save files in this game? I let my kids play and I am really nervous about them deleting my game save...it seems so easy to do in this game. Every time you start it asks Load or Delete. Usually I will just copy my game save to other slots incase one gets accidentally deleted but I don't see a way to that in this game. I have put in 6 or 7 hours and I will be devastated if I have to start over.

Yeah, Im guessing there's some kind of reward for collecting 'x' amount of money, as its all stored in the vault.

 

[Eerpow]

Loving the game!

Haha maybe I'm just weird but I'm really happy I got the glow in the dark LM2 cover, it sits on my shelf and is easily visible at night :3
Wish there were more gimmick cases, right now besides LM2 I have a lenticular 3D one, an orange one and two four with reversible covers.

I will probably be getting my copy of dark moon, either sometime tomarrow or in the next few days. From what I have read so far, it seems like a fantastic game. Of course the toughest competitor for my next 3ds game, was between this or monster hunter 3 ultimate.

 

[DoctorSmash]

Luigi's mansion dark moon is one of the best games on the 3ds in my opinion.

that is good to hear, however i have to wait and resell some old games again next month or so. every store out by me was completely sold out, of dark moon and had no clue when it would be back on shelves.

is anyone else having connection problems on multiplayer? sometimes all of the sudden i go from playing with multiple people to playing by myself, both online and local. i was playing with three friends all sitting at my kitchen table and all the sudden were each just playing by ourselves.

Not directly, unfortunately. Though you can buy the digital copy and let them use that copy instead of the cartridge, but I doubt you'd want to buy the game again I guess you just have to trust your kids with it.

I can confirm that the money after you upgrade the Poltergust 5000 to the Super Poltergust is Useless. Other thing is that the battle with King Boo was MEH compared with the battle in the first one. Other than that the game is awesome one of the best games in the 3DS. Plus it has Online Multiplayer.
