Overview
Description

New Ghostbusters II brings the comedy-action of the hit movie to the Nintendo Entertainment System. Developed and published by HAL Laboratory, the game features six varied stages like a courtroom, subway, and art museum, letting players hunt down mischievous spirits in a side‑scrolling format. Though never released in North America, the PAL and Japanese versions let players experience the ghost‑busting fun on their NES consoles.

Although never officially localized, a dedicated fan translation makes the game accessible to English‑speaking players on modern PCs. Its colorful graphics, era‑specific power‑ups, and challenging boss fights capture the spirit of the beloved franchise while delivering classic 16‑bit platforming gameplay.
