Ghosts 'n Goblins

The developers at Capcom send along some new screens for the exclusive PSP edition of the famed platformer Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins. The game uses a 3D graphics engine to give depth to objects, put you can expect to see the same side-scrolling gameplay style that we all fell in love with. Basically, your goal is to make your way through all of the stages while obliterating everything in your way. As the game progresses, you'll be able to improve skills, such as jumping, as well as learn how to use a greater number of spells and weapons. Best of all, the non-linear gameplay includes a level branching system and warp points to create a new single player campaign every time through.

cant wait...looks pimp

# . — Nietzsche 2006-06-17 12:38

This may just be THE "killer app" on the PSP . . .

# game — ActionHenk 2006-06-17 12:44

is this a game that comes out on umd? it really looks crappy. 2d play . it looks more like a good homebrew game, i cant see this will be selled at 50 euro even at 20 euro i wouldnt buy this kind of crap

# uh.. — Guest 2006-06-17 13:07

It's 3D models. A good homebrew game? Ghouls N' Goblins is a *****ing classic. Putting down a game because of 2D gameplay? How idiotic.

# to lazy to sign in still me though — Guest 2006-06-17 13:20

i cant wait for this i loved playing super ghouls and ghost on my super nes this is a new and improved version of the kick @ss game as far as i can tell

# 3d-2d — Guest 2006-06-17 13:41

3d graphics with 2d gameplay fits so perfect on psp

exit and megaman have both proved this along with others

this game looks so awesome.

gonna be a killer app fo sho.

The PSP is more suited to 2d sidescrolling games then the GBA or the DS, actually. PSP has a wider aspect screen, which means more gameplay area visible in a sidescroller. It worked great for Mega Man Maverick Hunter X.

I was never a big of of Ghosts 'n' Goblins, but this looks pretty neat.

@number 3

killer app? ghouls and ghosts...? no!

# Capcom, put savestates! — aliasneo 2006-06-17 17:57

I remember how insanely hard the SNES game was, I just hope they dont make it uber hard or atleast make a lot of save states or check points

# difficult — Guest 2006-06-17 20:12

I agree the original was insanely difficult

# It was hard.. — Guest 2006-06-18 00:26

But that's what was so brilliant. You had to play through a level dozens of times and not ***** up once. The PSP version will have an optional, easier difficulty setting and re-spawn you at the point where you died.

# Hard — StrawHat 2006-06-18 10:47

Or as we say now, "old skool hard" I remember playing this in arcades, and played a version of it in one form or another on all the computers and consoles, and it's always been bloody hard.

# hard for me 2 — Guest 2006-06-20 03:05

I like the ghost n goblin games..But there too hard

# GnG has a charm no nOOb wouldbe gamer can appreciate — Guest 2006-10-01 21:52

Basically this is GnG on steriods. Had a quick go just now for the first time and there's alot to take in. The depth of this game is huge. I just hope the new wave of capcom developers didn't compromise the playability of the first ones. Should be hours of fun.....
