While a specific release date for the highly-anticipated 3DS Luigi’s Mansion adventure has yet to be set in Europe, it’s now looking it will carry a different name when it’s inevitably launched. Dubbed “Dark Moon” in North America, official cover art has been leaked for the game today that shows it will be released as “Luigi’s Mansion 2″ in Europe:

A logo with a similar ghost-looking “2″ was used before as a placeholder before the game got its official subtitle last year. The reason for the name-change is unclear, but it could certainly stem from game tracking weaker there than on our shores, leading to Nintendo wanting to instantly connect it with its Gamecube predecesor.

Even though it’s the same game, playing the game as “Luigi’s Mansion 2″ makes us inexplicably more excited.
