Ultimate Ghost 'n Goblins re-release to be more difficult
The latest issue of Famitsu reports a new version of Ultimate Ghost 'n Goblins for the PSP is coming to Japan under the name Goku Makaimura Kai. The revision aims to bring the game closer to its arcade roots by limiting the number of continues and forcing players to complete the game twice before seeing the ending. Magic will be a charged attack, similar to previous Ghouls 'N Ghosts games, and the double-jump will be available from the start. Gaming masochists in North America will have to import the title when it's released on August 2, as Capcom hasn't revealed plans to bring the game elsewhere.

There is a difference between making a game more difficult and more annoying. Beat it twice to see the ending? That doesn't even make sense. This game is only difficult because the controls are unresponsive. Nostalgic sure, but there have been advancements in the genre since the SNES days.

wow, a re-release of a game that after I got to the end and it told me to start over I just sold it. Brilliant. And here I was hoping this would be about the XBLA port.

One of the best games ever. I have an import of the original that I play on my DS all the time. Now if only they'd release this vesrion on XBLA I could die happy.

Making ghosts and goblins more difficult would be like making rice more white.
