System: Nintendo Wii
Category: Action
Players: 1-2
Release Date: June 16, 2009
Publisher: Atari
Developer: Red Fly Studios

Ghostbusters is considered to be, by many, one of the most recognized movie franchises to have surfaced over the last few decades. Not too many people can claim that they have never heard the film’s main theme song or, at the very least, the phrase, “Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!” It’s been over fifteen years since a video game based on the series was released and with the track record that Ghostbusters possesses, it’s surprising that it has taken so long for a new video game to be released. But it’s finally here – A new ghost-busting game is out and fortunately, the Wii version isn’t too shabby.

It’s important to note right off the bat that this is not a gimped Ghostbusters title. Unlike many publishers who ignore the Wii when it comes to multiplatform titles, it is very clear that Red Fly Studios, in charge of the Wii version, put in a lot of effort in creating a bona fide experience. You’ll see familiar faces along with their original voice actors, you’ll hear the famous Ghostbusters song (although it is underused) and you’ll recognize unique weaponry. No, the Wii version does not feature realistic graphics (which is actually an intelligent design choice). However, the game still manages to hold its own when compared to the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.

Much like the GTA franchise, Kingdom Hearts titles have launched on both the Game Boy Advance and DS, yet there has never been a release for a Nintendo console. But perhaps that could change in the future. Kingdom Hearts creator Tetsuya Nomura, speaking with Nintendo Power in the July edition of the magazine, addressed the possibility of bringing the series to the Wii in some form – and nothing was ruled out. Nomura said that “Once the projects I am involved with have settled to a point, there might be some room to consider that.” For the moment though, he said he has a lot on his plate.

Interestingly, Nomura shared that Nintendo had approached him and presumably other members of Square Enix to create a Kingdom Hearts game for the DS. That’s one of the reasons why work began on 358/2 Days. So maybe if Nintendo used a similar strategy for a Kingdom Hearts Wii title, Nomura could be influenced.
