Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins gets tweaked


Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins on PSP is one of those games that's so hard, you hate yourself. Well, it looks like Capcom is going back to the game and making a few revisions -- but will it make the game any easier? Not really, according to 1UP. The game will be more akin to the arcade original, limiting the number of continues that gamers have and restricting the ending of the game to those that beat the game ... twice. However, players will be able to get the double jump from the get-go and play levels out of order. That's a plus, no?

This interestingly tweaked version of the title will release in Japan this August. However, considering how specific these updates are, we find an American or European release to be highly unlikely.

IGN gives Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded an 8.0

IGN gives Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded an 8.0
Never to be left out when it comes to beating a dead horse/stealing your money/delivering the goods on past franchises, Capcom is getting in on the retro kick by releasing Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded, which is based on the PS2 version, Oct. 24.

The game stuffs nearly 20 of Capcom's greatest arcade games, like Street Fighter II and Ghost 'N Goblins, onto one tiny UMD, and IGN recently got their grubby little mitts on a copy and thought it was a pretty solid title, giving it an 8.0.

While they had generally nothing but good things to say about the collection, they did note that "the game does run into the same noticeable flicker and aliasing issues present in the PS2 disc (in all the shooters), while the transparency effects are hindered by some obvious interlacing troubles."

Aside from the obvious things like how well the games play, a classics collection really benefits from additional and unlockable content, and Capcom didn't skimp out here. "In fact, there are almost 900 different collectibles that can be uncovered over the course of your play-through, and an interesting slot machine mechanic is used to find them (you're awarded tokens for playing through individual games which can then be gambled with to unlock secrets," IGN wrote.

They close by saying, "Reloaded is a solid PSP anthology that's better than its predecessor and one I'd easily recommend for old-school gaming fans everywhere." Mark me down for being totally excited for this one. Knights of the Round is one of my all-time favorite beat 'em ups, and to have it available on the go, has me giddy like a school girl.
