Forums - Nintendo - Did you hear about the Ghost Busters Wii version?

It is a Ghostbuster video game. It will fail no matter what.

Oh hey, there's a new trailer for the Wii version, too. Nice timing.

Ghostbusters was pretty cool when I was 5-10 years old, but as an adult it is lame as hell. I can't believe that anyone wants to play a game based on a comedy from the 80s...

That being said, Wii games are constantly made with cartoony graphics whether you want to admit it or claim that you like it better than realistic graphics. Personally, it is nice to see improvements in every part of a game, including graphics, otherwise you are playing the same old crap over and over forever.

But we can't give up hope!  They could reverse the curse!

Besides, this one's looking way better than any of the old ones.

I mean, doesn't bustin' make you feel good?

It's not just "a comedy from the 80's."  It's the most successful comedy of the entire decade.  And it didn't earn that title by just being for kids.  The movie is funny for all ages, and is still funny today.  I probably watch it once a year, but I should watch it more.  Good writing doesn't go bad.

Oh, I see... you think old movies suck and old graphics suck, and old everything sucks.  Well, enjoy all your new stuff.

Can you imagine if Capcom did that to their Dead Rising and RE4 remakes?

They would have been the laughing stock of the industry.

 I would buy this game day one. I don't care about the gameplay at all honestly. Give me an entire Resident Evil game made like this and I will love it. Bonus points if the writing is as absurd as the art.

Amen--Ghostbusters is absolutely fabulous, and the perfect example of how to make a coedy that can appeal to everyone.  It's got just the right doeses of action, romance, innuendo, and comedy for all ages.

 

Then again, since it's old, it can't possibly be good, I suppose.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

LMAO, most successful comedy of the decade? Are you kidding me? Where exactly did you come up with that BS. And I happen to like a lot of older stuff, like movies, but I happen to have good taste and like good movies...

 



"If you don't like me, bite me!"

Wii version: not HD

PS360 version: HD

Wonder which one will run more smoothly, have fewer lags,gliches or freezes?...

hint: doesn't have a 3 in it's name



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Anyone who doesn't like Ghostbusters can't possibly have good taste in movies.

From wikipedia:

With inflation adjustments, the film's original release grossed over US$500 million in the U.S., making it one of the highest grossing films of 1984 and the 31st highest grossing film of all time, domestically.[2]

and...

In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Ghostbusters the 44th greatest comedy film of all time. The American Film Institute ranked it 28th in its list of the top 100 comedies of all time (in their "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs" list). In 2005, IGN voted Ghostbusters the greatest comedy ever. In 2006, Bravo ranked Ghostbusters 76 on their "100 Funniest Movies" list. In 2009, National Review magazine ranked "Ghostbusters" number 10 on its 25 Best Conservative Movies of the Last 25 Years list [4].

The 80's had some great movies of a similar nature. Back to the Future, Gremlins, The Breakfast Club, Goonies, etc. All are instant classics and amazing movies that even my kids now love. But, to say that Ghostbusters isn't in the top 10 or even good?! My God man... I don't even know what to say.
