#ryukahr #gaming #retro ghosts and goblins nes ghouls game review avgn spooky horror games halloween - Ігри
As a kid I remember this game feeling impossible, even for the first level. And I hated that with each time dying, the stupid level map showed up. It was as if the game was mocking me, saying “Yeah there’s 5 other levels, and you’ll never see them!”
And then you have to beat those levels twice to actually get the real ending!
Idk if you’ve beat it if not go back bro defeat that damn demon after words I bet you feel like “first beat the game” after beating it “Take over the world” lol I tell people if you grew up in that time it wasn’t easy but if you do it now you want to tell everyone..as a kid you would gat mad respect now it’s like crickets sound” lol … much respect ✊🏾
Ever since Ryu modeled for the main character, he hasn't stopped pushing this game. I think he gets royalties.
XD lmao.
Ryu from street fighter is a real person ?
For those that don't know, the famicom version is more difficult. Enemies are faster and you have no continues.
Famicom version has hidden continue: hold right and press A or B three times, then Start.
Other thing I noticed is that the famicon version seems to a bit more laggy, something to do with the fequency, I can't really tell. But like, when you shoot the goblin you can't stun lock it as efficiently as in the US version. The european version is the easiest, cause the response time is the best and you can stun lock enemies much easier. In fact, that's the only version I managed to beat.
I was wondering about there being continues and weird speed. I was like this isn't my ghost n goblins from my childhood.
@@adamrmoss Wish I knew that much sooner.
This is the original darksouls . I came real close to beating it then I said forget it 😂😂😂😂😂
"You don't HAVE to get the knife".....
*2 minutes later*
"Okay the knife is really good, I would get the knife"
I love you Ryu
@@mbagle ???
@@isaacwilbourn3362 Sorry. i think I was replying a separate comment and clicked on yours by mistake. I remember a Spammy comment but it wasn't yours. Sorry.
I mean, those two statements don't contradict each other...
@@mbagle You mean something like"Didn't ask,my content is better"?XD
lost in this entire conversation
After never playing the game before, I beat it today thanks to your video! It was still quite hard and took a couple hours but definitely would have quit without your numerous tips
I just use save states i know it's cheating but it makes the game so much easier
Yeah, it's like the only way to beat the game is with the collective knowledge of millions of people finding very niche strategies and then compiling it. As if no normal person would find this game easy without extremely obscure knowledge.
Before I even watch this: yeah fucking right.
But ima watch and learn and maybe this will be the time I finally beat my favorite impossible game ever!
Thanks, best series ever Ryu!
Yes, all people have to do is USE STRATEGY and BOTHER TO OBSERVE PATTERNS instead or brute-forcing everything:)
Indeed a great game , It was one of my favorites as a kid even tho I don't think I ever saw level 3 back then. I didn't beat it until 30 yrs later , lol.
It’s the full commitment jumping. And the ‘attacks from all sides, get clusterfucked’ thing that happens all too often. Ryu’s video makes it look so easy it’s insane!
I’ve been waiting for this video ever since the series started. Never beaten this game so I’m hoping after I watch this I can finish it.
Same!
you got this
@@Ryu gotta do super ghouls and goblins
@@ChefRengar Don't forget about Ghost N' Goblins Resurrection on the Switch on legend difficulty.
@@ChefRengar Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts?
Listen, I love this series and will always watch it. But you are not going to convince me this game isn't brutally unforgiving 🤣
Yea I haven't played most of the games he's done, but one of the most skilled retro gamers on youtube saying a game is actually easy isn't convincing anyone.
@@Reulorics He literally said he wasn't saying the game was easy near the start with his series, and at the end. xD
does this guy sound like a gay mountain man or is it just me?
Silver Silver and Battletoads are remorseless.
@@stevenjohnson243this comment made me laugh hysterically because of how out of place it is. Also Ryuka has a wife lol
The only part of this game that peeved me was finally beating it, then finding out I didn't beat it😂
I need to start a series called "Bunking the Difficulty" to bring balance to Ryu's god gaming.
Actually, bunking would not be…well it wouldn’t be that…
First episode- Kirby's Dream Land- unable to get past the second level.
"You see these guys?"
*Points to Waddle Dee*
"These guys are DEADLY. I call them 'Muderators'. If you see Muderators coming, you RUN and you HIDE. In a bottomless pit."
Yes, because there aren't any UA-camrs who scream and rage at game difficulty. I can't think of a single one.
And for the record, I love the MaximillionDood Boss Rage series.
If AVGN is Yin, this series is Yang. It's amazing. This game absolutely is a crapshoot that deserves to be ranted about (Yin), but with a levelheaded, disciplined approach... it can be managed (Yang).
is basically, less fun, but more chill (and tutorial)
It's basically how James (AVGN) is IRL
He’s gonna take u back to the past
The Debunking series is my new fave. It amazes me how I could sail through these games as a 10-12 year old kid, and now as an adult I struggle.
No one ever sailed through Ghosts n Goblins
@@cedric1138 Contra, Metal Gear, G&G, Battletoads, Spanky’s Quest, and so many other NES and SNES games were beaten on a Saturday a piece at a friends house.
Ridiculously hard games were the norm. Especially compared to modern games.
Not even that hard, any of those games. Unlike Souls games, but even those are a matter of acclimation.
Said Noone ever lol
@@RedHairdosouls is easier.
I have a special technique for watching Ryu videos. I click the “like” button BEFORE watching it because I know its gonna be good. I don’t want to risk dying in a meteor shower before I finish and missing the opportunity.
Ryu: "I want to show it isn't so bad"
Game: "My sprites are often invisible, you arbitrarily lose for getting the wrong weapon, the whole thing is a twice-twice, and the reward for all that is a lazy ending message that's not even spelled properly."
Ryu: "It isn't so bad..."
This is spam impersonating ryu. Report as spam
I always loved this game. I also loved one of the spin offs from this game called Demons Crest (SNES) . It's main character is one of the flying Red Arremer enemies in this game ( as a hero named Firebrand) and I believe was also the main character of the Gargoyles Quest series
I believe demon's crest is a prequel to gargoyle's quest
I always thought it went Gargoyles Quest 2, then 1, then Demons Crest in terms of the lore. Once you get the Time Crest I believe there is a bit of dialogue with one of the townspeople where he freaks out that you have returned or something similar to that. I could be entirely wrong however.
@@Joshhow I might be confusing it for gargoyle's quest 2, i only played demon's crest to the end, the other ones i have yet to finish.
Demon's Crest is a sequel to the Gargoyle's Quest spin offs.
I see what you're doing with this series. You're removing the stigma that these challenging games are "impossible" for the average gamer.
Yeah no shit lol
@@aschlamishowsup lol
For those playing the original arcade version, the red arremers use a different AI from the nes port. When you see it waiting, you can get a free hit on it once (it will dodge subsequent attacks), then you must wait/dodge through its attack cycle until it charges straight at you horizontally (this prevents it from dodging). When it does this, you can then finish it off with a few more hits before it rams into you.
"The most annoying part is how the hot-dogs spawn randomly" 😂😂 Thanks for debunking one of my favorite childhood games. My brother and I would play this for hours on end. I didn't even know about the armors! Thanks for sharing another awesome video!!
Bro, this video was awesome.
Breaking down the game to a few core strategies that really helps make the game seem more approachable and less daunting of a challenge to complete was very cool.
Great video! This game is still mind numbingly difficult but hopefully this will make the game more bearable. You failed to mention some things tho.
At 8:57 actually if you stayed longer in the platform until it goes high, you can spawn an item disc that can increase your timer. That was really helpful.
At stage 3, there are 2 armor placements, you failed to mention that too.
I personally think this game can't be made any easier because so many random elements that you can't control happened and that can really ruin your run. If you succeed doing one thing in run 1, maybe that thing wouldn't work in run 2. At least that was my experience. You can make this game bearable but never easy.
For some reason I could never get the first armor in stage 3 to spawn
@@ryukahr That's funny because I vaguely remember watching you on twitch when you tried to beat this game the first time and you managed to spawn it lol. Anyway, these debunking difficulty videos are the best. Keep 'em coming.
In fairness knowing stuff like where the armor is and the enemy patterns makes it far easier.
I beat this with only the guidance of the manual and it's fucking ridiculous.
On another note I never knew that second armor was there in Stage 3. I thought there were only 5 suits of armor in the game.
This comment should be pinned. The random elements is what make this game difficult.
I love this series. Keep keeping on, liking the positive vibe
Nice video! Love seeing these videos, i don't play these games myself but that makes it all the more fun to watch.
Thanks to you, I have finally beaten this monster of a game!! And with the good ending too! You did miss a couple useful tricks, such as another extra armour on level 3 (pretty late, on the stairs where the two flying dudes spawn), but you gave me the power of will to beat the game and I really needed the technique to kill the little red devils. You're great, Ryu!
Diggin the debunks Ryu!! Much love!!
Solid video! It was actually really enjoyable to watch. I’m currently watching a bunch of play throughs of the classics so I can apply some of what I see in the retro styled Metroidvania I’m developing, and so far your videos have been some of my favourites to watch 😁
Cheers, friend! 😁🍻
After watching this, I went down memory lane and watched Ryukahr struggle with this game 4 years ago on his extraordinarily hard game series. It was funny watching the struggle on those demons and accidentally doing the humpback technique before he knew that was the strat.
This series has given me so much hope in beating these games. THANK YOU 😊
Always love these series, keep it up, my friend!
Another super interesting video👍
I have super console x so i have access to all these games and i play them often. I really like watching you make these games look easy and the truth is with practice it becomes easy eventually. I appreciate the tips and the pure entertainment of just watching you play. I'm about to try to play through the 4 main ghost n goblins games in a row. Ultimate ghost n goblins is the one that scares me most and i haven't played resurrection yet so I'm looking forward to that. Anyway great content and I'll be watching and commenting on all these videos as i play the games for myself. Ty again and keep em coming👍👍
You're easily one of my favorite content creators, I'm here for when you have a million subscribers that said I'm glad I've been here for a long time
Your contents really phenomenal and fire
And even when I'm having a bad week when I see one of your videos drops it makes my entire night
Phenomenal work my friend 👊
I have a yearly "Try to beat this game!" party where we do line-ups of difficult classic games and this is one ive never beaten. Not even close. Then i watched this video, sat down and did it in like 20 minutes. I'm blown away how just a handful of tips have checked this game off for me.
This series is a great idea. I'm loving the vids. Keep it up.
I want to play this game again now 😂Another great video man, i love the debunking series.
Yess i remember requesting this from you. So glad its here so i can atleast have a shot at beating it !
Great video man. Classic game. Thanks for the play through.
Nice to see you do this game, there is a way to avoid the forced fire weapon from the ladder on level 2, i'd have to replay the game to remember but it depends of your trajectory. i also beat this last year on my channel both quest and it felt nice.
Besides the way he showed?
The torch spawns if you come down the last ladder just before the ladder with the torch on top of it. If you take another route it won't spawn. Using the speedrunning skip is kind of overkill, given that it's very easy to get hit after that. He was extremely lucky in this video (unless there were other takes we didn't see). Often the Unicorn bosses just run into you and there's nothing you can do about it.
@@conorneligan7694 Yup I agree and that is the way I did it myself, by not triggering the torch and not taking the shortcut. You do have to hurry but you should have enough time to get to the end. Ah I should replay this game soon, been a while, that and Ninja Gaiden remain my favourite 2 NES games to beat!
Bro.. your reflexes and feel for stuff like how the (incredibly clunky) jump works is what’s helping you the most, and that’s something you only learn by going through the gauntlet.
Finally! thank you. I was playing some Castelvania SOTN and I was thinking about this weird Castelvania game I played as as kid on my NES, but I could not find it anywhere. And now I remember, it was this game! I was racking my brain about it..
After you finish Castlevania SOTN, look for a giant yellow/golden skeleton called Paranthropus, this enemy will drop a Gauntlet and Ring of Varda. You can find 3 of these enemies in the room above where you fight a boss named The Creature in the inverted castle. You'll want 2 Rings of Varda. Also, in the inverted castle, go to the library and look for a enemy called Schmoo. This enemy will drop a sword called the Crissaegrim. After you get this new sword, defeat the Guardians in the room below where you fight Shaft. They'll drop an armor called God's Garb. I hope my comment here helps you on this game. Have a great day!! 😎👍
@@stacychamness9077 he didn't even ask for that lol
My dad is a god at ghosts n goblins. He prefers the arcade version by far, but he runs over the nes version as well.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't worthy of his love until the day I beat ghosts n goblins.
I agree with you ryu. Making any hard game easier is all about knowledge. Which in early games is everything.
We didn’t have the internet when this came out. No idea where the hidden armor was. Died a million times as a kid
love the series, dude! Keep up the great episodes!
You have amazing patience. I used to grind on these games back in the day. Well done.
27:11 --> Just like in Kid Icarus!
Never knew there was so much from that game in this one =D
Nice video!
I cant believe you actually did this one!! Dude you are a legend.
Just found these videos and really enjoying them. I can't seem to find it you have it not, but one of these videos for NES Blaster Masrer and Mad Max. I spent all day even with Game Genie on Blaster Master and when I finally got to the final boss, my mom called us for dinner and my brother jumped off the bed that had the game on the game genie wedged, kinda like stacking games, for the damn game to play and it froze. That was they day I gave up. And Mad Mad made me sad so many times I wasted hours that could have been spent on something worthwhile. Lol. Thanks for the videos, look forwards to your next ones as well as getting to the ones I haven't seen yet.
I'm surprised how much I enjoy this series. As a general suggestion for future games, I remember finding every game by Ocean on the SNES to be rediculously hard. Robocop 3 and The Addams Family drove me nuts.
I just booted this up last night! Thanks Ryu!
Love this series, and I'll continue waiting patiently for Battletoads :)
I've been looking forward to these episodes like I was looking forward for the next AVGN episode, back in the day. Time to get some noodles and enjoy.
Congraturation!
Great video! I would LOVE if you also did Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts from the snes.
the first time i watched ryu he was playing this game on twitch, and honestly it’s my favorite twitch vod of all time. glad to see it return!
YES YES YES, I’ve been waiting for this 😍🔥
Love this series! You should look into doing one on Double Dragon for NES. That game is pretty difficult, at least I thought so when I was a kid :).
It gets quite hard if you keep doing more and more loops. I've never heard of anyone getting further than loop 7.
@@markxv2267 Holy f, that's nuts. Grats! Any idea where the loops "break" and just become repetitive or crash the game?
Hmmm, I didn't notice Loop 3 as being any more difficult than Loop 2.
@@mikethered123 Wouldn't be surprised if it breaks only after loop 255 (FF in hexadecimal).
@@Animebryan2 someone should make a TAS for it and test it out
Loved the video Ryu. I can't believe you actually tested the no shield ending that AVGN warned about lol... I thought it was bs.
This game is still difficult even with the hidden armor tricks, way too cheap with the invisible stuff and weird patterns.
The wall damage skip trick was awesome.
I remember being able to warp to any level by doing some button combinations on the title screen. You are then able to play the final boss with any weapon you want too.
Start the button combination right when you see the title screen and be sure to complete it before the game demo happens.
1. Hold Right and press A 10 times
2. Up (do not hold)
3. A 3 times
4. Left (do not hold)
5. A 3 times
6. Down (do not hold)
7. A 3 times
8. Start
9. B
10. Start
This is off memory from my childhood. If that doesn’t work then just use B button for all the combinations.
When you complete a level it will take you back to the warp screen. You can also practice the same level over and over again.
Great way to practice that 1CC.
Enjoyed this! 😁
Hell yes this is one I've been waiting for
One of my most favourite game as a kid. First playing it at the corner-store, then getting for Christmas with my NES in 86. Times were so different, my friends and I did think this was hard, we thought it was awesome.
Absolutely loved the Switch version, that one is more difficult !
The reaction at the end after reading the ending credits was hilarious!
Hell yeah! This is the game I wanted to see. The trick for the red devils is super helpful, that's the kind of stuff this series is all about. Definitely still a very sinister game, can be a super cheap bastard especially in the late stages but it's good to know there ARE real strategies.
Arcade version was ROUGH (tons of RNG). The NES version was just about memorizing everything, and "enjoying" the stupidity of all the secret nans, weapon requirements, etc.
🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨
Don’t hit him up on telegram. It a scam, lol
I think game overs actually reset all of your points, so if you're playing for score those WOULD matter. This is pretty common in arcade games.
-Great vid! Here's one for ya: at 8:00, if you don't need to get the armor, stay off the top floor, and that fire won't drop, blocking the ladder.
-also, there is a cheat for this game. Kinda like the one for Contra(up, down, up, down, etc.) I don't remember exactly what it was but, the cheat allows you to start at any stage except the last one(where you fight the Devil). And also, the cheat negates needing the cross(shield) for the final boss.
I’m impressed. Not cuz you beat it (which still respect) but because you showcased the escape route with the damage boost in stage 2 😂
nice video well done as usual :D suggestion for a game to debunk would be the gremlins 2 and isolated warrior , those are pretty harsh and unforgiving ;)
You actively motivated me to complete this game!
One of my first Nintendo games ~1988-90. Great game
Love this man! Thanks
in the words of AVGN GET THE KNIFE!
I cannot believe the title. Ambitious, indeed!
You should do Karnov at some point. Not sure if it's a famously difficult game, but I couldn't get far into it when I was a kid, and I still can't. Kind of reminds me of Ghosts 'n Goblins.
Love this.
I beat the first cycle back in the days without any tips but had to keep my console running over the night so I didnt have to restart the next day but could continue. I felt absolutely disgusted and turned off the console when I realised I didnt get a real ending. Had no clue that there where another ending at cycle 2 but thought It would just cycle forever.
I was waiting for this game since you started doing Debunking the Difficulty 🤩 Great one, Ryu!
This series is so awesome man! Hope you get into next consoles too like snes and genesis
Awesome series, subscribed. If I may recommend 2 games: Trash Panic (streamable on PS Plus) and Wipeout HD
Super nice video with great content and information. A++
Red dude is called Firebrand
Congratulations 👏🏽
The NES was notorious for bad interpts lol
It's easy to say this game isn't difficult after someone else mapped it out for you, but as a kid, this game was why I started smoking cigarettes at the age of seven. I had the Advantage joystick that had turbo buttons. When you paused the game, nothing shows up on the screen, so I used to use turbo on the pause button and basically play this in slow motion and I got pretty far doing it that way. Nowhere near beating the game though. Gamers that can beat this do make it look pretty damn easy though.
I'd love seeing you debunking either "The Goonies II" or "Faxanadu".
Anyways, many many thanks for this content, your community just love that
Gg. Thank you for this video and your debunking series. It helped me beat the first loop for the first time today on my wife's birthday.
“I always have people getting mad, saying ‘You didn’t debunk the difficulty! It’s still hard!’”
You could’ve called the show _Nullifying the Notoriety,_ but then you’d lose the double-D.
Hey man, great video! You could start debunking some old SMS games too. I think it could be a nice change of pace in your channel. Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Wonder Boy or maybe Kenseiden.
One other difference between Loop 1 and 2 is that in Loop 1, the Axe and Shield weapons do not appear until stage 5. In loop 2, they can appear at any point.
Wouldn't mind seeing a Wizards and Warriors debunk. Good old Fabio on the box art. That game wrecked my life as a kid, but it could be because I had no idea what I was doing. I bumbled my way through the first couple of levels but don't think I ever beat it. Huge nostalgia vibes though, thinking back on it.
Great video, but I'm gonna live vicariously though you on this one!
I almost beat this game on NS Online without knowing it was infamously beyond difficult. And I was thinking to myself the whole time “wow this is hard”. But now knowing that, I’m proud of myseld
"Get the knife" is one of those classic lines from old youtube history, just like "You can just walk over it".
Great tips but I would like to note that in the second stage in the infamous goblin house you can kill the difficult right side goblins from the left side of the wall and if you don't go to the very top of the house it won't even spawn the fire! This makes the part very easy if you can handle the crows
DDD
Digging the Debunking the Difficulty! Thanks Ryu, this game is so (hard) easy
I watched the youtube video from extraordinarily hard games. Your first run was how i'd imagine most people struggle. But then you master it, and it's easy peasy
\
I do know that in ghosts and goblins whatever enemies you don't have to kill you can just keep moving except the enemies that get in your way
I grew up playing Super GnG on the SNES and just replayed it on the Virtual Console. I may have to play this some time.
Nice video, and it is a fun game to play.
If you are interested in a tough NES game (might not be tough enough for this series but you can check it out) is NES - Sword Master.
For those who have not played it, the game is just a series of 2D boss fights. It is really fun though.
“I think the fire is better against the dragon” as he proceeds to completely wreck two dragons with da’ knife.
"you feel a strong welling in your body" but is the princess's body ready?
Ryu se que no entiendes mis comentarios en español... pero te sigo en tus dos canales y amo estas series!!! Espero ver más. Soy tu fan. Saludos desde Argentina mi rey. 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
Unrelated to the video content, but what exactly are those in the background with Chrono and the Mog? I’d love to get my hands on one of those ! What are they called and where can you buy them? Thank you :)
