Prepare to smash your controller on the ground again and imagine what it'd be like to ever get past the first level on the original like you did when you was young as it comes out on the 25th this month.

I’ve only discovered in recent years that everybody found this game difficult. I assumed it was just me, but no. I think I made it onto level 2 just once, and even that was a fluke.

People who talked about Dark Souls being difficult would wet themselves if they had to play the original Ghosts 'N Goblins. |

The Souls games are tough but fair. Ghosts N Goblins is vintage 8-bit bullshit difficulty lol.

One of those where the difficulty just renders it not fun for me. I feel sorry for the poor buggers in the arcades who put all the time, effort and money into beating it, just to have it pull that move on them at the end.

"I beat Ghosts and Goblins" was basically the same as "My uncle works for Nintendo and said..."
You just kinda knew the speaker was full of shit.

Maybe if it does well, they will do a sequel or remaster of Demon's Crest, that's a hidden gem on the SNES and one of my favorites to play since I discovered it on the Switch

Got all the endings on it except for the fourth one where you have to kill The Dark Demon.

I only ever played the 8 bit Spectrum version and struggled with that. I was better at the arcade sequel Ghouls and Ghosts, but still only regularly got as far as level 2. |

Demon's Crest is such a good game. It deserves way more love than it got and I like seeing more people appreciate it.

Ghosts and Goblins was very difficult but what always made it atrociously difficult was the slowed frame rate when the screen was full of enemies.

I don't like Ghosts 'N Goblins. That game gives impressionable children the wrong idea about... How easy it is to strip someone down to their underwear in public.

Good news everyone, its sounds like it'll be just as hard and merciless as the original series.

Downloaded it last night, boy is it tough. Not beat the first level but at least the respawn points are fair.

I don't why I bought this expecting it to be anything different. I guess I'm an idiot. Impossibly difficult games like this and all From Software games just aren't my thing. I just don't have the patience for them and end up getting mad rather than having fun.
