Ghosts 'N Goblins on the VC has me thinking...
« on: December 12, 2007, 07:24:25 AM »
There is something about Ghosts 'N Goblins that is incredibly addictive. It's always been one of my all-time favorite games. When I was a kid I blew tons of quarters on it in the arcade and I've had at least a dozen various incarnations of it on home consoles over the last 20 or so years. This morning I was thinking it would be cool if Capcom updated the game for 2008. I'm picturing something along the lines of Viewtiful Joe. Anyone else with me on this one?

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins came out for the PSP in 2006.  Close enough?

On a somewhat related note, Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts has been on my to-purchase list for months now.  I never got to play it back in the day but I remember drooling over it in Nintendo Power and wishing I wasn't a kid so I had money to buy it.  How does Ghosts 'n Goblins compare?  Is it significantly better than its SNES sequel?  Would I be better served getting it instead?

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Actually, pretty much. BUT - I'm not going to buy a PSP just to play one game.

Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts is like Ghosts 'N Goblins on steroids. It's seriously one of the hardest games ever made.

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

The real question is, "Should I be stoned while playing this game?"

No, I don't think it's anything like Viewtiful Joe. Ultimate GnG might be though.

Ultimate GnG is nothing like Viewtiful Joe.  I'd say take Super GnG, add 3D graphics and new levels.  There you go.

Good - then my dream still stands. Capcom needs to revamp GNG , VJ-style.
