New Ghostbusters II (ゴーストバスターズ２?) is a 1990 video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy, both developed and published by HAL Laboratory in the PAL region and Japan. The NES version was never released in North America due to licensing issues with Activision, while the Game Boy version was released as simply Ghostbusters II.

The NES version is not to be confused with the earlier video game title, Ghostbusters II.Contents [hide]

Gameplay

In the game, the player is presented with four Ghostbusters to choose from: Peter, Ray, Egon, or Winston. The NES version features their accountant, Louis, as a fifth playable character. This, along with the North American version of Ghostbusters II, were the only titles ever released that allowed players to play as Winston. While the action can be performed by oneself in the NES version, a secondary player may join the game with the ability to press B on a second controller to release a ghost-catching trap. The objective of the game is to trap all the ghosts in an area until an arrow appears which alerts the player where to travel to next. A boss appears at the end of each stage.

Stages

There are six stages in the game:
Courthouse
Abandoned subway tunnel
Dana's place
Drainage system
Art museum
Vigo the Carpathian

Version Differences

New Ghostbusters II for the NES is not a port of the Game Boy version, or vice versa. The Nintendo Entertainment System version features new music, different layouts for the levels and alternate versions of cut scenes between levels and stage bossses. The Game Boy version has only three stages and no multiplayer capabilities.
