Ghosts 'n Goblins heads online News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC MMO

Korean dev pillaging licence.

Capcom's rock hard side-scrolling platform game Ghosts 'n Goblins is heading online.

Korean developer Seed9 is doing the honours, according to 1up's translation of 4Gamer.

The side-scrolling format will remain, as will the mechanic whereby armour drops off the hero with every hit you take.

The biggest change will be the advent of a class system. Judging by the game art, there will be a ranger-type bow-and-arrow class, a magic user and the traditional knight in armour.

Ghosts 'n Goblins appeared first on arcades back in 1985. Since then, Capcom's ported the game to various formats - most recently iPhone this year with Ghosts 'n Goblins: Gold Knights II.

God, the original on the speccy was hard, hard, hard. I could not get past level three - the ice caves, I think it was. But, what a brilliant game it was!

Loved the PS2 Maximo titles. Wish they'd do updates of those.

It'll have to go some to beat the truly masochistic experience of the PSP version...now that's one hard-as-nails game that I couldn't put down.

lol just two days ago I bought Super G&G on Virtual Console, and I found the joy of laughing in despair again. Always a pleasure to meet the Gargoyle in particular.

I seem to develop a masochist behaviour, not long ago I bought R-Type 3.

An absolute classic game that has never clicked with me in any of its reboots or even the original form.
