Ghostbusters news has been pretty focused on the Xbox/PS3 versions of the game as of late, so for those of you hankering for some content to oogle on the Nintendo side, here’s your chance! This “first twenty minutes” video will take you through a short intro, a small tour of the firehouse, and show off some gameplay in the first mission.
Head past the break for part 2.
Ghostheads in US territories can breath a collective sigh of release thanks to Atari CEO Jim Wilson, who contacted GamesIndustry this morning to assure them that Sony only bought the rights to the upcoming Ghostbusters game in PAL territories.
“The Sony Computer Entertainment partnership is exclusive to Europe, Atari is going to be publishing on all platforms in the US on June 16,” clarified Wilson.
Until now, fans had feared that the Sony buyout would have outright canceled Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the title, but new information shows that this a Europe exclusive deal.
Although it still seems like a shady move that’s unfair to the fans, screwing Europe seems to par for the course when it comes to game publishing.
Ghostbusters will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii on June 16th 2009.
What will probably be known as the most dickish move of 2009, Sony just picked up the rights from Atari to publish the Ghostbusters game. What this means is that the game will now be an exclusive for the Playstation 2, Playstation 3, and Playstation Portable. There has been no word on what will happen to the Wii and Xbox360 versions. Update: Ghosbusters Sony exclusive only in PAL territories, Multiplatform is still a go for the US market.
