Trivia Time!
Luigi's Mansion was originally pitched as "Peach's Womansion", in which the Princess would fight through a house filled with ghosts that represented misogynistic tropes. However, the game was retooled as a Luigi title after it was deemed too radical for western audiences. A decade and a half later, many of the original "Womansion" ghost ideas were reused in the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot, and were subsequently lost to time, as no one actually watched that movie.
Stay tuned for more Trivia Time segments in the near future!
