I'm just making this thread with the excuse of a new IGN blog update about the co-op mode. Wii owners will not get any online gaming out of this, but at least we get a seemingly robust split screen co-op mode, where every level from the single player mode is available.

"The two-player option means that there's always backup, even in the most demanding scenarios. As long as one of them is on his or her feet, the rookies can revive each other, meaning the game keeps moving at a very brisk and exciting pace."

"But because Ghostbusters consists of more than just blasting ghosts, tactical choices and teamwork make multiplayer more than just double the "firepower." One simple and iconic example is that while one player is wrangling a ghost into submission, the other can throw out the trap that will snag the ghost."

It looks pretty snazzy too:



One thing that I find weird is that there are screenshots where you can see all the characters have proper shadows, while in others they have none at all. I hope the complete game is at least consistent, even if it's not one of the best looking titles on the Wii. It's charming, somehow.

Anyway, is anyone else looking forward to the Wii version of this? It's no big budget wonder like its HD cousin, but it's not a shoddy port either. If it's done right, capturing ghosts with the remote will simply be fun, especially with a friend over.

I gave you a plus 1 for craps and giggle.  Anyways, I am going to assume this game is crap because it is being made by Atari.

"The Wii version is by Red Fly Studio, the Mushroom Men guys. HD is by Terminal Reality."

New video.

If the Wii version is different enough from the 360/PS3 Ghostbusters, and still good, I'm seriously considering getting both versions. I'd love to get a Quick Look on these games. As for the lack of internet multi on Wii: no big loss. Couch multi is a lot better than not being able to chat with the other dude online.

I would like the GB game to be good in general, but I'm still very skeptical. However...the Wii version looks like far closer to complete shit than the 360/PS3 one.

The first 20 minutes... Including the intro, gah, skip. But the game looks good. Though the player is kind of obessive about little things at the start. Destroying every little vase instead of just wandering as one would in search of ghosts. Oh well.
