New Ghostbusters II video feature. Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow video feature on New Ghostbusters II for the Nintendo Entertainment System developed and published by HAL Laboratory.
The NES got two Ghostbusters games, and to be perfectly honest, bustin’ didn’t make us feel good in either of them. But overseas, gamers were treated to a Ghostbusters game North American audiences never received-New Ghostbusters II. From the makers of such NES classics as Kirby’s Adventure and the Adventures of Lolo, New Ghostbusters II is a top-down action game that takes place in locations from the movie! From the courthouse and the subway tunnels to Venkman’s apartment and the river of slime, New Ghostbusters II is loaded with details and references that make it a great representation of the film. It’s also one of the best Ghostbusters games ever made. New Ghostbusters II is a single-player and multiplayer game, sadly, never released in the States.
This video feature features video gameplay footage of New Ghostbusters II for the Nintendo Entertainment System and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.
I'm surprised Derek didn't mention (or maybe even notice) who developed the game. Title screen says "We made a good game"; translated from HAL Laboratory. The same HAL behind the Kirby and Smash Bros series. How could it not be good in at least one aspect?!?
I know, I was surprised he didn't see that either! It's like HAL saw that original Ghostbusters 2 game, went "HAH, we can do so much better" and made this just to slap the New on it to say "Here, this is the GOOD version."
As a kid bad games also confused and pissed me off. I had many dilemmas and questions in my life like why are people bad when it's better to be good? Also, why do people make bad video games? Don't they know the game sucks after they make them? Why was it ever released? My life was bad as it was and the last thing that I needed was bad video games.
You know I'm really getting tired of rewatching so many f#cking times
Here's the funny thing; back when this came out almost every UK magazine that reviewed it gave it low scores.
😂😂😂
You're welcome, Derek.
Btw, since I sent it to you I missed the game, so I bought it again.
Enjoy
My sanity was spared, since I've encountered this game first and OG Ghostbusters 2 later, which was a pile of garbage.
NG2 is an amazing game, with good graphics, good controls and gameplay and amazing soundtrack, which mostly taken from the movie itself (which was a rarity back in the day).
I have a repro cart of this. It's really fun. Probably the best Ghostbusters game I've played besides the 3D one that came out a few years ago with the original cast doing the voiceovers.
Ghostbusters for Genesis is the best one
The Ghostbusters arcade game was fun
Growing up in Australia, I played both versions of Ghostbusters 2. HAL really beat Activision with this one, I love this game! Also screw those driving segments from the other game, lol.
I agree with you on the driving levels, as they are harder than Mega Man 2! But yeah, I too played both versions but on an emulator. And I even PLANNED on ROM HACKING one of them to tie in to that 2016 reboot that the internet SHOULD admit was good!
Does this work on a ntsc console?
The music isn't this high-pitched in the actual game. Is this to avoid copyright issues or an emulator glitch?
It's sped up and higher pitched most likely because he's running a PAL game on an NTSC system.
my cousin had it he had a pal NES i really wanted to play it but i couldnt on my ntsc 20 years later i feel the same way
The music in certain aspects of the game, like the boss music, seems sped up.
Wow, I actually feel bad for living in Europe... I mean, I've always played this game and not THAT crap, and I wasn't even aware of other, BAD ghostbusters 2 game.
Same here I'm from the uk and I love this game. I couldn't believe the review when he was talking about how bad it was. The music is so good. This and gremlins 2 on the nes made my childhood
It actually has Winston the others dont
I played this as a kid... but I've never been anywhere but Arizona and California in my whole life..... how?!
What does u only being in 2 shitty states your entire life have anything to do with this review go ahead I'll wait ......
vincent pistoia the fact that this was only officially released in Europe and Japan makes the OP's comment relevant. There you go, the waiting is over.
40th? 20 minutes ago? And you guys have an office?
The puns are very impressive!
That game does look far better than the American version.
do you plan on reviewing watch dogs Wii U
Who is?
oasisbeyond the guy in the video
No
It is true!there were lots of bad games back in the day.But,thankfully,that was why game genies were created!:)
Nekowaifers?
I love this game... I love it
Great positive review.
Too bad even if you live over here in Europe, this game is super rare and expensive :(
For a loose copy what is "expensive" in USD?
Christopher
The main problem is actually finding the game, mainly because the actual GB2 game was released here as well, and before New GB2. When you do find one, it's about 50€
That's good to know. As I just got a loose copy off eBay for $34 USD. Should be in Monday. Postage takes a moment from out of country. Lol
Fernandoooo :)))
Two American movies(Ghostbusters and BTTF) that can't even get the best versions of the video games......that doesn't even make sense.
Not only do Europeans have easy access to RGB video inputs, but they also have a better Ghostbusters 2 game.
I was born in the wrong continent.
Well yeah but that hardly compensates for having about 25% of the console libraries of consoles like the SNES and NES.
but Terranigma tho..
Yeah i guess
And slow ass games (16,7% slower in both gameplay and audio unless optimized)
Only about 10 PAL NES games played like the NTSC version.
I hate regional differences
I am so jelly Japan got so got this and Super Back to the future 2 but then I realized that activision owned the rights to Ghostbuster and BTTF so while we got these shitty Western made games (Western made console games back then for the most part was shit except on PC) and they got these good games.
Ghostbusters on the NES was made by Microids, a Japanese devoloper (a really shitty one, they later made the crippled SNES port of Raiden Trad)!
CarozQH ok thanks
super back to the future 2 is a game I think about very often. any game store I go to i actively seek out New Ghostbusters or Super BTTF. One day, I will finally get to play the only good Back To The Future platformer
Update: currently in wait for Super BTTF II for the SNES from etsy for like 25 bucks. if anyone was interested, figured I'd share.
New Ghostbusters II is also on there for 30 dollars
Not Interested.
Stop trying to be amusing, your not
Dude, trying to be amusing is this guy's style. Hell, that seems to be how everyone at CGR reviews. If you don't like it, then maybe it's time to find another reviewer's channel to get your game reviews from. I enjoy it. I don't want Derek or Lord Karnage to stop with the amusements if they enjoy doing their work this way.
Lord karnage is the man. This little chump on the other hand needs to retire
+StevieHyperD2 . he sucks too. he is a dumbass.attitude
Well I hope you guys are happy with these comments. Because Derek had to leave. And there's no more of him. At least Mark is still around...
