Play New Ghostbusters II (Japan) Online
You dash through haunted halls blasting ghosts with your proton pack, but the stiff controls and weird enemy patterns make it feel like you're fighting the game as much as the spooks. That chiptune soundtrack and janky charm keep it weirdly playable though.
Game Overview
Ever heard of New Ghostbusters II? It's this weird little NES game from Japan that never made it to the US. Developed by Hal (yeah, the same folks behind Kirby), it's a side-scroller where you play as the Ghostbusters—except it feels nothing like the movies.
You're basically running through haunted mansions, zapping ghosts with your proton pack, and dodging floating furniture. The controls are a bit stiff, and some of the enemy patterns feel unfair, but there's something charming about its janky 8-bit sprites and eerie chiptune soundtrack. Definitely one of those "lost in translation" NES oddities.
If you're into retro curiosities, this one's a neat footnote in Ghostbusters gaming history.
