New Poltergust in Simon Belmont Trailer?

[GamerGuy09]

I've noticed in the new Simon Belmont trailer Luigi has a new Poltergust. It is of a design we've never seen before, specifically the silo in the back filled with green energy particularly sticks out to me. Sakurai has always been a stickler for nostalgia, so why redesign the Poltergust?

There's only three possibilities for this in my mind:

1. Luigi's Mansion 3 is going to be a thing and Sakurai wanted to use the new model so that Ultimate is up to date on a game not release/announced.
2. Luigi is getting a new final smash and Sakurai wanted to give it a snazzy makeover.
3. With the new gamemode "Spirits" allegedly existing, does ghost catcher Luigi have anything to do with it?

I think you know the answer by now heh

I can't believe that the theories were true.
Or at least, I wouldn't have believed it if not for the plunger firing ability. A redesign could be waved off as just being redesigned for Smash, but an ability he never used in Luigi's Mansion? Now that's what made me think this was a hint.

Now the real question is, will it be used in his final smash, and will it function differently in some way?

good catch I'm excited for Luigi's Mansion 3.
