Luigi\'s Mansion: Dark Moon will feature multiplayer modes for up to four players.

Nintendo has revealed that Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, launching exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS on March 24, will feature local and online multiplayer modes for up to four players, as well as Download Play capabilities.

In Hunter Mode, each player controls a different color Luigi and must hunt down ghosts and work as a team to clear each floor of the tower before the clock strikes zero. Bonuses and upgrades can be earned depending on how well the team performs. There are also boss battles at the top of each tower. Players can choose the number of floors in this mode ranging from 5, 10 or 25. Fallen players can even be revived by their teammates.

When Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon launches on March 24, shoppers can purchase the packaged game as usual at retail locations nationwide. Or they can simply purchase and download the game on their own from the Nintendo eShop using a wireless broadband connection. Regardless of their purchasing method, the game sells for a suggested retail price of $39.99.
