After a while it was deemed false, but now Nintendo has filed a new trademark with the USPTO for "Luigi's Mansion" - leading to more speculation. This could potentially mean a sequel is in the works, but less exciting, and probably more likely, it will mean a "New Play Control" game. That being, the original Luigi's Mansion but... read more
