Luigi's Mansion is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch Online library. Debuting on October 30, the GameCube classic arrives just in time for Halloween, and means the entire trilogy, along with Luigi's Mansion 2 and Luigi's Mansion 3, is now playable on Nintendo Switch 2.

Luigi's Mansion released way back in 2001 and sees Luigi win a creepy old mansion. It's all very exciting right up until his brother Mario mysteriously disappears, leaving Luigi to rid the mansion of Boos and ghouls in order to find the missing Mario.

As yet there's no word on how the classic game will make use of Nintendo Switch 2's most hyped features, including its new mouse controls, but we do know it'll be playable for Switch 2 owners who subscribe to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

Nintendo Switch Online is a subscription-based online gaming service for the Nintendo Switch gaming platform. Memberships include online functionality, allowing you to compete or cooperate with friends, as well as a collection of classic Nintendo games spanning four decades, including titles from the NES, SNES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, and, most recently, the new GameCube library. A free seven-day trial is also available.

The GameCube library currently includes The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, F-Zero GX, and Soulcalibur 2. Further titles thought to be joining the service include Super Mario Sunshine, Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, and more. Most recently, Super Mario Strikers, Klonoa Empire of Dreams, Mr. Driller 2, and Mario Paint were added to the library of GameCube classics.
