Ultimate Ghosts ‘n Goblins – New Info & Screenshots

Capcom has announced the PSP action game “Ultimate Ghosts ‘n Goblins” (original title “Extreme Ghosts ‘n Ghosts”). The game will be single player exclusive, the release date and the price is unknown yet.

“Ultimate Ghosts ‘n Goblins” is the latest title of the “Ghosts ‘n Ghosts” series which was first released back in year 1985. The players will have to control the knight “Arthur” to rescue the kidnapped princess. On the road, Arthur must avoid the traps along the way, and beat the monsters. Combining the use of the weapons, the massive jump controlling, the total difficulty of the game is going to be as hard as the other titles of the series. The PSP version is using “Ultimate” as the prefix, which means the difficulty will even be the highest among the series.

In Ultimate Ghosts ‘n Goblins, there are some “shields” scattered within the stages. Basically, the shields are placed out of an easy reach, and usually having some monsters guarding them. Usually, the shield is equipped on the back of Arthur, and can be used when pressing and holding the down key. When Arthur enters the state of defense, the attacks of the monsters will be defended. The shields can also be used even when Arthur is naked. The higher rank the shield has, the higher duration it will have.

Shields are placed somewhere hard to reach. In this case, you need to have the air-jump ability to get to the shield		There is a shield behind the Minotus. Then, how to get it?
A shield is equipped on the back. Press direction down when you want to use it.		You can even equip a shield when naked. And of course, you can use it too.
[Cracked Shield] Can defend the attack of the monster once. Better than none. In a super hard game like this, having or not having a shield can sometimes lead to drastical changes of the situation.	[Knight’s Shield] Several times. A standard shield for defending the enemy attacks.	[Overlord’s Shield] Much more durable than the Knight’s Shield. Where is it hidden?
[Devil’s Shield]		[???]’s Shield
A shield with a sculpt of a Devil’s face. Should be better than all the shields above, but the actual effect is still unknown.		A mysterious shield.

The basic taste of the game is as shown above, which the graphic performance of the game has been largely enhanced too. The game has taken in the 3D feature of the PSP to bring the feeling of 3D to this classical side-scroller game.
