Luigi's Mansion the Arcade game by Capcom

Fp? What's that? Thanks for the vid!

 

Presumably "First Person"

 

Is this a TriForce game?

 

I think I remember seeing this in an arcade that was inside of a massive AEON mall once, but I can't remember where...

 

i would like to have this machine

 

Doesn't look like a FPS.
Looks like a standard lightgun railshooter.

 

Not all first-person games are free roaming first person shooters. The game is first person because you are (presumably) playing the character of Luigi and the images you see on the screen are from the point of view he would have.

Basically, it's a first-person rail shooter, like _The House of the Dead_

 

Played it a couple weeks ago in two player mode. I remember one credit lasted quite long and it would let you play until you lose all your energy. The player who loses his energy first has to pay for another credit or wait for the other player to finish. I think there are only three courses which are quite long, but I found the game very repetitive even within one course and don't see much replay value.

 

House of the dead 3 (and onwards?).
Nobody says "fp games", it's an uncommon thing to say, hence why I asked as I didn't understand.
Also a railshooter is a railshooter no matter the point of view so calling it an fp game is weird already there.
Nonetheless thanks again for the vid, Yakumo, it was interesting to watch.

 

Sweet! Had no idea of this, thanks for sharing Yakumo!

 

All the House of the Dead games have been first person. I'm honestly confused about why you would consider HOTD III to be a first person game and the earlier ones not, since they all had basically identical presentation.

I guess using "FP" in that way is a moderately uncommon usage, but it does come up quite often when discussing games on a technical level. It's also worth pointing out that although rail shooters are commonly first person, this is not a necessary trait - one obvious counterexample being one of the earlier rail shooters _Space Harrier_.

As for why Yakumo mentioned it, it's most probably because the original GC version of Luigi's Mansion was a 3rd person view game, and the 1st person view in the arcade version is a significant change, and one that's worth noting.

 

The major difference is that prior to hotd3 you didn't see the gun like in an fps and like in this particular game.

 

FPS = First Person Sucker?

Lol, I had to

 

Every Nintendo first party game in a nutshell

 

I was joking around but it does sorta feel like it that way honestly especially with most recent released ones and the older ones too a bit.

but on-topic, yeah it feels pretty lazy for arcade game makers to do by cashing in on the rail-on shooter games (granted there's a couple of decent ones) but the majority of times really doesn't have any replay values (besides trying to get secret endings) that makes you wanna keep playing or going back to the next visit or so.
I really wanna see more Japanese exclusive games you got like "Too Spicy", "House of The Dead EX couples edition" or something like that and also some Tekken 7, MORE of those pod games like Mobile Suit Gundam & Airflight dogfight games that runs under Windows XP Professional Japanese OS and Left 4 Dead Arcade with the mouse & Keyboard combo (i'm surprise South Koreans hasn't thought of that) and Typing of The Dead and Intial D Racing games!
