October is here so it's time to get those wallets spooked!
The Luigi's Mansion remake for the 3DS kickstarts Spooktober. It will finally realize an unimplemented feature from more than a decade ago. The original Luigi's Mansion for the GameCube was developed with stereoscopic 3D in mind but 3D televisions were not widespread at that time so it was never implemented outside of development. Switch owners shouldn't be bothered because a new Luigi Mansion game is scheduled for next year.
Speaking of the Nintendo Switch, big titles such as Mega Man 11 (sorry, Mighty No. 9), Super Mario Party, Disgaea 1 Complete, The World Ends with You: Final Remix, Lego DC Super-Villains, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, Warriors Orochi 4, Dark Souls Renastered, Lego Harry Potter Collection, and Just Dance 2019 are on the list.
Note: The information below are the tentative release dates for Nintendo 3DS and Switch games in North America (also known as US, Asian, or MDE) unless otherwise stated. The local retail prices mentioned below are just approximate values based on the US SRP and the current exchange rate at the time of writing. Tax, shipping, and other fees are not taken into consideration. Final price will only be revealed by the retailers on the actual local release date itself. Games with no prices under the Retail column (indicated by -) mean that they are eShop-exclusive digital titles. The TBA tag will be used for games that have yet to update their SRPs.

Nintendo Switch
While the 3DS is region-locked, the Switch is not so you can play Japanese Switch games on your US Switch console. The eShop usually updates at 12 PM or 3 PM of the same day or at 12 AM of the next day, Philippine Time. Local retailers like DataBlitz and Game One PH/ i.TECH will usually sell physical copies at the date of release, unless unforeseen shipments or delivery problems occur.
