Iwata and Miyamoto star as the Luigi brothers
I'm ridiculously excited about Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, as the lanky member of the Mario Bros. duo will always have a special place in my heart, much more so than his showboating, portly brother. Miyamoto has the lowdown on this spooktacular 3DS title, and details some of the new mechanics, including a much more robust Poltergust -- the 5000 model, to be exact. It's going to be sucking and blowing all manner of objects, the lucky devils. I admit to being somewhat more interested in the potential for a Luigi Bros. movie (or better yet, a sitcom) starring Iwata and Miyamoto, however. Will Miyamoto ever manage to fit Iwata into his Poltergust 5000? Will Iwata ever get the ectoplasm off his suit? The possibilities for tomfoolery are endless. Did you know?

| 2:30 PM on 03.30.2013 This Poltergust 5000 replica should scare off some ghosts |

Nintendo challenged the folks at iam8bit to put together a "functioning" replica of Luigi's ghost sucking Poltergust 5000 from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. They did exactly that, because ghost catching is serious business. If I can get my hands on this and a working Proton pack, I'll stop having to worry about Patrick Swayze forcing me to make pottery. more
