Luigi's Mansion 2 Spooks Its Way Into UK Top Ten

Sale damn you.

Lego City's sales are baffling me, the Miiverse isn't too popular either. It's by far the best game on Wii U and uses all of Wii U's features very well. What are gamers doing?

@Grubdog Waiting for 1st-party games most probably.

@Grubdog 12th in an all-format chart is a great achievement for a console with such a small fanbase. It's sold really well considering

Like Monster Hunter, I feel that you either like the Lego Games or you don't. Lego City has a lot of good humour and it's open world. It boils down to if you like collecting studs and blocks as in previous Lego Games. 12th place in the all format charts is a respectable position. How many WII U owners brought the machine just to play Lego City in the Uk?

Distribution and shipping by Nintendo is horrible. There are shortages everywhere. You aren't releasing games yet when they get released you have all these shortages in all territory. What if there were Wii U releases every week? What the hell would happen?

I'm loving Lego City apart from the load times... geeeeeees from turning the WiiU on to actually playing is 5+ mins. NLife - any rumours of a upcoming patch for the game to help load times??

I predicted top 5 for Luigi when commenting on the Japanese sales Very much deserved. I just hope Fire Emblem does well as that's far less known than Luigi.

As for Lego City, it might have sold more than MH did. MH got 7th spot but that was both versions combined, and the 3DS one sold more. I think both of them have sold really well when you consider how few Wii Us are out there.

Loving Luigi's Mansion, and perhaps a couple of years back would have gone for something like Lego City, but time's short, the weather's picking up and I can't see myself spending 40+ hours on another 'open world' game in the coming months...

I finished it last night, and it was great. Had some of the best bosses I've seen in a while, my favorite being the old clockworks boss.

Great news for Luigi! :3

Both great games, and I know as I am currently playing through both of them, but I really have to give the nod to Lego City. I haven't had so much fun with a game in quite some time, at least not in this particular way. Ironically, I've never played a sandbox game that I liked before, and I was sceptical of this one luring me in, but with the Wii U software release schedule bone dry, I took a chance on it, and never looked back. Hopefully others will give this game the same chance, as it certainly deserves more attention than its getting. Not to downplay Luigi's Mansion, as that too is a fun game, but we all knew that game was going to be successful.

Well considering none of the shops in my town sell these games its not surprising.tesco and asda have not had a new Nintendo release this year.

@Grubdog Never had much faith in UK gaming population. But yes, Lego City really is a gem. Is doing better everywhere else, apparently, so good news for TT.

@Five-seveN You liked the Old Clockworks boss best? I just beat Old Clockworks yesterday (I'm still working on the fourth Mansion) and I was almost underwhelmed with the boss... I mean (SPOILERS ALERT FOR ANYBODY WHO IS STILL PLAYING THROUGH THE GAME), it was just twelve waves of random enemies that you have to fight with a time limit on a giant clock. I mean, it was better than that stupid staircase, but I thought it paled in comparison to the awesome giant spider in the first mansion - I feel like that one was much harder and more satisfying once you figured it out.

@Captain_Balko Yes, I like the third boss best. And I'll even defend the [SPOILER] staircase boss because, though it was easy, who'd have thought of making a boss out of a staircase? [END OF SPOILER] Anyway, yes I like the first boss a lot too. (Fourth boss was good too, but a little infuriating.)

Luigi's Mansion 2 is great fun. A brilliant game, with fantastic 3d visuals, Why cant you keep your spoilers to yourself? You annoy my happiness!

@SPUD We marked the spoilers. If you went ahead and read them that's kind of your fault.

@Five-seveN: Well, keep in mind that it's easy to accidentally glance past spoiler warnings if they're jammed right up against the actual spoilers. I've been on some sites that recommend adding extra white space between the warnings and the spoilers themselves, and I personally think that helps a good bit. (Not that I'm saying you didn't try; it's just a suggestion...)

On Topic: This seems encouraging, I suppose, but we'll have to wait and see how sales hold up in coming months...

I love this game. The graphics is awsome

Meh. If you are reading posts on a gaming forum, and you chance to spoil the game you plan on playing, well it's your own fault for reading the posts. Whenever I buy strategy guides, I only open them when I get stuck in the game. Then when I finish the main quest, I'll use the guide extensively to unlock all the stuff I missed during my first playthrough.

IMHO, spoilers are something rich punks put on there cars because they think it makes them look cool.

I've been enjoying Dark Moon WAY more than the original. And I liked the original.

I'm glad to see it doing well!

hmm... Should I buy lego city undercover the chase begins or Luigi's mansion 2...I no that Luigi's mansion 2 is good but if the chase begins is good like the wiiu version, I will buy it to my 3ds.

Sorry for my bad English. I'm from Sweden.

Ok, Now we're barely starting to see games that could move hardware, especially for the 3ds. Luigi's mansion 2 looks freaking awesome.
I want it, I want it now!

I went for Lego instead of Luigi and loving evert minuet of the game.

@kaptenSwe Hard to say...Luigi's Mansion 2 is really good, but I haven't played either Lego City Undercover game yet. I really want them both though.
