In 1985, Capcom released the game Ghosts 'n Goblins to arcades. In the game, you play as Sir Arthur, a noble knight. When the princess Prin-Prin is kidnapped by Asteroth, Sir Arthur must pull a Mario and save her from the lord of the Demon World and his monster army.
The arcade game would be a high earner. It also got lots of praise, and the NES port was infamous for its difficulty. Over the years, the game got sequels, and was ported to game consoles. It would even get a couple of spinoff series like Gargoyle's Quest and Maximo. Also, Arthur and Firebrand (one of the demons in the game) would appear in crossover games like Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. It was announced the series would be rebooted with Ghosts 'n Goblins: Resurrection. So, let's look at the trailer!
The game looks like it's doing that 2.5D style.
Heh, I like that rendition of the theme.
Ooh, watch out for the mini-Deaths there with their little scythes.
He got the knife.
According to the Angry Video Game Nerd's review of the original G'n'G game, the knife is the best weapon in the NES version. In fact, it was the only really good weapon in that version. I do hope this remake fixes that and makes all the weapons useful.
Oh man, Arthur just can't keep his armor on, can he?
Hey, ghost jellyfish. They can swim into your soul...
BRING DOWN THE THUNDAAAAAAAAAA!
Is Arthur on a giant pillbug?
Do those ogres thing Arthur owes them money?
Oh hey there, Firebrand! I played a bit of Demon's Crest on Nintendo Switch Online. Really fun. Criminally underrated game.
I would like to try a demo of this game if they release one. I do hope they manage to make the notorious difficulty of the game a bit more manageable. It does look fun, and I hope it does well.
