Luigi's Mansion is a parody of Resident Evil 1

Luigi's Mansion 1 is a parody of Resident Evil. The main gameplay loop of slowly exploring the mansion, unlocking keys, and backtracking is the same. The opening door animation between areas is almost exactly the same. Even the storyline is fairly close to RE1 with a fake mansion and a larger conspiracy.


It's fairly interesting looking at how obsessed Nintendo was with Resident Evil during the GameCube era. I feel as if they saw its success on PS1 and assumed by acquiring timed exclusivity on GameCube they'd do better.

Yeah they are fairly similar

The original silent hill was very popular back then so everybody were rushing to create something simmiliar but also with a unique twist to it.

Thats just by design to make you feel powerless and its not the focus of the games.

Luigi's Mansion is an OK game. Gameplay wise it's nothing special and it doesn't really reach its full potential. What makes it special is the SOUL. It's a very soulful game.

I dislike the story so those games don't appeal to me.

Oh, yeah. The survival horror genre was born from it. Fatal Frame is probably the only decent game inspired by it.

Nintendo really did have a strange obsession with survival horror during the GameCube era. They published two as well.
Eternal Darkness and Geist.
