First off im just wondering what did everyone get for Christmas? I got a Game Cube with Luigi's Mansion, Ghostbusters DVD, and Tons of GB items from Hot Topic (some of them were for my birthday, there right next to each other). Lastly my favorite one (next to Game Cube) THE ECTO BOMBER MINT IN PACKAGE I MEAN NEVER TAMPERED WITH THE STIKERS ARE STILL ON THE STIKER SHEET! Sorry got over excited.
Lastly I just want to state things about Ghostbusters simularities in Luigi's Mansion. The Ghosts first off all seem like reincarnations of GB ghosts. Whether is in personality or looks. The way you capture the ghosts has some simularities also. The way you move when you capture the ghosts and the way they move themselves. Laslty the technology. While the pack used isnt quite all GB but the style is simular I guess(even though its a vacume). Later on in the game you have to catch BOOS (you know the ghosts from Mario 3 that are in the castles), and the proffeser gives you a adon to your communicator (Game boy Horror), that has a light that bliks and makes noises when you get near a BOO. Finnaly the machine used when you capture boss ghosts looks alot like the “Slimer” version Containment Unit, even though it does nothing similar. Well thats all I have to say. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year.

Yeah…and even the ghost's LOOK similar. With their pudginess and glowing eyes and all…

Yeah, I got a Gamecube and Ghostbusters….errr Luigi's Mansion, it does have A LOT in common with GB.

I don't mean to sound like a jackass, but you're not the only one to figure this out.

EDIT: I made this post a while ago, and apologize for … well … being a jerk without any real reason. Sorry, everybody.

If you want a GB-like game get Castlevania for N64. I got it this year and it has Terror Dogs! Seriously these things look so much like Terror Dogs I think I can even see the same SE streak.

Spiff well you did sound like a jerk. I was just stateing facts. I didnt say or even think that I was the first to notice this, especialy since there were posts almost a year ago about it when the game was a prototype.
