Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD still has StreetPass in game files

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD finally launched this week on the Nintendo Switch to good reviews and data miners have already been searching high and low through the game files to see if there’s anything of interest. One data miner has discovered that the Nintendo Switch version of Luigi’s Mansion 2 has the exact same file structure as the Nintendo 3DS version and therefore still contains a file for the now defunct StreetPass. Luigi’s Mansion 2: Dark Moon never even used the function. Here’s where Reddit user FierceDeityKong chimed in with more information on the subject:

“The original game didn’t even have StreetPass, the folder containing the Scarescraper exclusive ghosts was just named that, probably because it was originally planned. That folder wouldn’t be removed because it’s still actually being used in the game.”
