Luigi's Mansion

A launch title for the console in which the timid Luigi, instead of his brother, explores a haunted mansion and vacuums up ghosts with the Poltergust. This charming, atmospheric little game with excellent humor showcased the new hardware's graphical capabilities: dynamic shadows, reflections and physics. It isn't very long, but its distinctive style, clever puzzles and an adorably terrified Luigi made it an unexpected hit that kicked off an entire successful series. The perfect game to boot up first on the purple box.
