Happy Halloween Season everyone! We thought it would be fitting to share with you another episode of our Sound Stone sister show, Millennium Edition. This one features Gooey alongside Sean talking about Luigi's Mansion. If you like what you hear, please subscribe to Millennium Edition on your podcast platform of choice! - Luigi's Mansion was an unconventional launch title to introduce new players to the GameCube. With Luigi in the starring role and playing completely unlike other Mario games, it didn't embrace the broad appeal we'd come to expect from other launch titles like Super Mario World or Super Mario 64. And yet, Luigi's Mansion would go on to become one of the GameCube's highest-selling games, and its expressive characters, lighting, and environmental effects proved to be an amazing graphical showcase for what the new system could do. In this episode, Sean and Gooey revisit Luigi's Mansion, looking back on its development history and considering its place among Nintendo's pantheon of famous launch titles. How does it feel to play 25 years later? Did Nintendo make the right choice to launch the GameCube with such a quirky new Mario game? And how does it perhaps match the unassuming yet creative energy one might associate with the GameCube today? While it may not be remembered with the same fanfare as some Mario titles, both Sean and Gooey had a great time setting off on another ghost hunt, in a game that was key to shaping the Luigi as we know him today.
