Yes, bow, cheer and haller 'til the celing comes down, I have played Luigi's Mansion!
First off, ignore Bonus's poncy comments about the game, and hear it from the horses mouth... as it were.
First off, you'll notice the game is very Nintendoie. The graphics are set in the same style as Miyamoto's best on the N64, they're just a lot better, with detailled textures, great lighting and all.
Luigi is pretty good... he does seem to have lost his domineering height which so easily distinguished him from his brother, although you can still tell it's him.
The way he calls "Maaaaaaaariooooooo?" is good.... you do that with the 'A' button... X is for a room/level map and Y is for the Full-Screen Gameboy Horror.
The Pad is great, a bit bigger than a PS2 pad and about 8 times as comfortable. The L and R buttons weren't quite how I expected... their breadth (sp?) isn't quite so prlofic and the 'Click' is more of a 'Thud' that you had when pressing the L or R buttons on the N64 pad. Still, very good... and you can actually control the intensity of the suction from the Vaccum/Hoover.
The game was in Japanese, and mine was a bit rusty... it's a good job the game has certain words in colour... then you know what to press!
I know this post is all over the place, but believe me, you'll love the Gamecube... The Pad is great, the GC looks cool, the graphics are Post-PS2 material and above all the gameplay... is SPOT ON!
Gamecube is the Future of Gaming.

Emmmmm, not really too interested in running about sucking up ghosts myself, if I really want to see that done, I'd probably watch Casper, but then again, they are probably both aimed at the same age group anyway, lets hope Game is a late developer, and not just stuck where he is. :D
