Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered will be available on Switch and other platforms in just a matter of weeks and building up to the launch, Saber Interactive has shared a brand new 'Favourite Memories' trailer.
The video shows a number of fans talking about their favourite parts of the original game released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 back in 2009. If you'd somehow missed the news, this version - and not the cartoon-y adaptation which made its way to Wii and PS2 - is arriving in remastered form on Switch on 4th October, still featuring the original cast of the classic movie.
Here's a little more if you need to catch up:
Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered delivers a unique story from Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis that captures the supernatural comedic fun and fright fans love from the franchise, celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. As the new rookie on the Ghostbusters crew, you’ll team up with your favorite characters from the films, reunited by the voices of Aykroyd, Ramis, Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson as Stantz, Spengler, Venkman and Zeddemore.
Manhattan is overrun once more by ghosts, demons and other paranormal creatures unleashed by a mysterious force, and only the Ghostbusters can drive this evil back to whatever dimension it crawled from. Hunt and trap a variety of new and infamous ghouls and phantasms — all remastered in HD resolution — with cool gadgets and weapons, thrilling boss fights, and destructible environments.
The game is scheduled to be available for $29.99 / £29.99 via the Nintendo eShop, and physical copies of the game can also be pre-ordered exclusively at GameStop in the United States, EB Games in Canada, and a variety of retailers in Europe (GAME, Amazon, etc). Physical pre-orders in the UK appear to be cheaper than its eShop price at present.

I loved this game back on 360. The Library level in particular had a very eerie atmosphere. Can't wait to play this one again!
Buying it again on Switch. Unfortunately I dont like dealing with Gamestop
I remember it having some game breaking bug on the spectrum 48k , hated it
I'll definitely be buying when it's confirmed they've put gyro aiming in it.
@KIRO
That was, really, such a great game! I played it endlessly on my trusty C64. 😊
Pre-ordered it the chance I could after it was announced. Loved the game originally, played it on PC. Excited to be able to play it in handheld mode on the Switch!
@Ooyah don’t tempt me into a Speccy v c64 fight, its 2019....
Besides, Spectrum would clearly win
Pre ordered this last week.
Pre ordered the physical copy for £24.99 on July 17th looking forward to October’s releases including the Witcher, darksiders dethfinitive, baldurs gate and planescape torment. Still waiting for cup head in physical release.
Haven't decided if im getting this yet.. if I get some eshop credit for my bday next week I'll prob pick it up.
@KIRO
Well, here I was, trying to be friendly, and... 😉
@Ooyah well don’t tell anyone but I did eventually get a commodore 128. Absolutely bombes unfortunately
Preordered. Can’t wait. This and luigis mansion....
I ain’t afraid of no ghosts this autumn!!
Medievil too.... not ok switch obviously
I hope the Wii/Ps2 version eventually get remastered as well
Nope, C64 version was the beat Ghostbusters game ever
They should have a remaster of the Wii version as a bonus download. Just upscale it to 1080p and there ya go.
I was thinking Switch but I had been watching it for awhile on steam too. Tough call really hate the idea of going into GameStop though. And cool it with the inferiority complex comments hating on the PS3 as it has nothing to do with this release.
If only this version gained co-op-- Ah well, still buying it. No motion controls either?
Buying a Switch and PS4 version. Might gift one. What a great game, shame there wasn't a sequel to it.
I want this Remaster, but I’m holding off until I read some reviews—specifically, which version to get!
@MagicEmperor well if you want portable, there's only one decision!
@Wavey84
Yeah, that’s exactly how I felt last gen, surprisingly it’s reversed this gen. Microsoft and the XB1 have taken a huge step backwards and I’ve switched over to the PS4 full time.
I just turned on my XB1 for the first time in over a year to finally play Gears 4 in preparation for Gears 5 since I bought the game pass dirt cheap last year.
After I finish Gears 5, I have zero reason to turn on my XB1 again. Unless Microsoft revives the Fable franchise, I’ll have no reason to buy an XB2 or whatever they end up calling the thing.
@Jawessome By gosh, yes! Of course. How could I forget... the Atari Lynx! Haha, Switch is my front runner for sure, but I dunno, I just want to hear some opinions first. Jawsooooome!
wish this was cheaper. I'd buy it but not for what I have to pay. if I get the urge to play it I'll just play it on the Xbox 360 or PS3. forgot which one I got
@Wavey84
Finally someone else mentions the sticks on the XB1 controller. They really bug me. On 360 FPS games were great, when I bought my XB1 (before my PS4), I was really disappointed in how loose the sticks felt. I could barely play any FPS or 3rd person shooter that required precision.
Then I bought my PS4, and while I have serious issues with the build quality of the DualShock 4, the sticks feel incredible, even better than my much loved 360 controllers.
I couldn’t play shooters on PS3 because the roles were reversed last gen, odd that everything has switched sides for me this gen. I’m a bit worried about the PS5 controller, hopefully they just stick with the DualShock 4 but increase the shoddy build quality of the controller because they break and wear out far too quickly. My original 360 controller still works great.
