Luigi's Mansion 3 will be released on Halloween, but you can get it for $10 off at Rakuten right now.

Nintendo

Thursday is Halloween, but you don't have to wait that long to start eating the candy you've been stockpiling for trick-or-treaters. Nor do you have to wait to explore a spooky mansion with everyone's favorite Mario Brother, Luigi. That's because, while it's not being released until Halloween, you can buy Luigi's Mansion 3 for Nintendo Switch for $49.99 right now. To get that deal, you need to be logged into Rakuten and apply the coupon code DS9 at checkout. This looks like a great deal, since everywhere else seems to be offering the game for the $60 list price, and not a penny cheaper.

If you're interested in snagging the game for $10 off, you've got until just before the stroke of midnight Wednesday night (Oct. 30, 11:59 p.m. PT) to place your order; as the witching hour begins Thursday morning, the $10 discount evaporates like wraiths in the pale moonlight.

If we've done our math right, Luigi's Mansion 3 marks the first time Luigi has ghostbusted since 2013's Dark Moon for the Nintendo 3DS , and early looks at the game suggest it's every bit as charming and endearing as the original Luigi's Mansion for the GameCube in 2001. It has already racked up a metascore of 86 over at Metacritic. Want to know more? Check out what CNET's Scott Stein had to say in his hands-on Luigi's Mansion 3 review. Happy haunting.
