Yes, a determined young lad playing live through the grandaddy of one of my favorite Capcom series: the devilishly difficult Ghosts n' Goblins.
Watching this video requires you to know about one of Capcom's meanest tricks: after you play through and beat the ridiculously hard game, it turns out that "This room is an illusion and is a trap devised by Satan." Oh noes!
So that was all a dream, and to get the REAL ending, you have to play through the entire game again. From the start.
...
That's what this guy is doing here. The video starts with the first, "illusion" playthrough, and then cuts to the end of part 1, so we can see him play though again, this time for real. He has a bunch of crafty tricks, but if you've played a game in the last few years and felt like "wow, this is hard!"--think again. This one's brutal!
Part 2 of the playthrough is here.
G&G! Man I love this series!
ScarecrowSo good to know you guys at Capcom USA love it too!
Would love to see a real revival for it on consoles. The psp one is really fun too.
But they need to make it less Arcady, and instead create an EXPERIENCE. Something where you start with ALL odds against you and then you build up as you get farther in the journey.
PS: Seth, I know you can write down a well written presentation for CapcomJapan. If Capcom's looking for new ideas and such make sure they hear you.
PPS: Sorry for being so direct, don't ban me!!!
