Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered (NSP, XCI) ROM + v1.2 Update

Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered – The beloved and critically acclaimed Ghostbusters video game is back and remastered for Nintendo Switch! Strap on your proton pack once again and join the Ghostbusters on the adventure with the voice and likeness of the original crew as you battle to save New York!

GAMEPLAY

The single-player campaign is the same for the Xbox 360, Windows, and PlayStation 3 versions of the game. The Wii and PS2 versions have significantly different campaigns, but the stories are mostly identical. The game is a third-person shooter, placing players in the role of a recruit to the Ghostbusters team known as “the Rookie”. Players control the Rookie’s movements as he explores the environments of each level, seeking out paranormal activities and ghosts, either alone or in conjunction with the other Ghostbusters.

Players can switch to a first-person perspective by equipping the Rookie with a PKE Meter and goggles. In this mode, paranormal items are highlighted and the PKE Meter helps direct players to ghosts or haunted artifacts. Players can aim and fire a Proton Stream to weaken ghosts, before switching to a capture stream to maneuver them into a ghost trap. Continuous use of the Proton Pack causes it to overheat, and players are momentarily unable to use the pack’s weapons until vented. The Capture Stream can also be used to “slam” ghosts, and move objects in the environment.

Throughout the game, the Proton Pack can be upgraded to include additional firing modes such as the Shock Blast, Slime Blower (positively charged), and a Meson Collider, each with an alternate firing mode (a Boson Dart, Stasis Stream, Slime Tether and Overload Pulse). Upgrades are earned by capturing ghosts and identifying cursed artifacts and new species of ghosts. The game also tallies monetary destruction caused by the player, with Xbox 360 Achievements and PlayStation 3 Trophies awarded for either minimizing the damage done or for causing a high amount of damage.

Many of the achievements names come from quotes in the films, such as the “You Gotta Try This Pole” achievement. In place of a traditional heads-up display, the player’s health and weapon status are represented as meters on the back of the Proton Pack. The player’s health regenerates over time if they do not take further damage, and they can be revived if knocked down by any Ghostbusters still standing. Similarly, the player can help revive fallen team members. If all of the active Ghostbusters fall, including the player, the player will have to restart at the last checkpoint.
