Turns out Luigi won’t be returning as a homeowner anytime soon. A press release from Nintendo of America has announced that the highly anticipated 3DS game won’t be coming to your handhelds until 2013… which is a significant delay from the fall release fans had expected.
And fans have been waiting a long time for this one—it’s been nearly a decade since the release of the original Luigi’s Mansion game, so the delay is going to make fans even antsier… and give a game a lot more to live up to.
The official statement from Nintendo of America said, “Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon will now be available in the first half of 2013 in the Americas”, suggesting that the European late 2012 date still stands (as no one has said otherwise).
We’ll keep you posted on any updates!
