Fun fact: Capcom made a successor to Ghosts n' Goblins on the Playstation 2, complete with a 3D format. This game was named "Maximo: Ghosts to Glory," and it was the first video game I ever played. They even made an orchestral version of this theme song and put it in the first few levels. To this day, it remains one of my favorite games of all time.
Seriously, what kind of video game locks both saving your progress, and continuation after losing all your lives, behind a paywall?! And the more you use it, the more they raise their price!
@@esmooth919 I mean you can always go back through the first level and just accumulate a bunch of coins. That’s what I always did before I knew where all the hidden treasure chests were.
Trueeee. I always tell me friends that this was the original dark souls when I talk about lol. Late nights with my grandma, and damn that gargoyle in the beginning scared child me.
I'd also love to see Smash do something with Ghosts & Goblins, but Capcom owns the rights. Although, it's strange that Nintendo got permission from Capcom to use Megaman and not this. It's shame, because I consider Ghosts & Goblins to be an ultimate classic Nintendo title. Legendary status IMO.
Ghosts and Goblins are comin' for you tonight, they're gonna get you! Ghosts and Goblins are gonna put up a fight, ya gotta get through zombies and bats and dragons and that's all just to begin with, meanwhile you're in your underwear. (Yes, that diaper there.) So do beware 'cause they'll try to bite your wiener!
The music to my childhood right here, right alongside the Mario games music. It’s so iconic that Capcom used, maybe still, uses it as their film production theme that plays before their “films.” (Ie. Street Figjter Chun Li, among others).
I had this theme stuck in my head from time to time for the past 35ish years. I remember playing it on a sleepover for about 8 hours straight. I never knew what the name of the game was. I just had the theme stuck in my head again and google search and here it is! Thanks for posting this GBelair!
This theme….. I had SO much trouble with the damn ogres that I spent way too much time hearing this theme! By the time I end up in the caves I barely have enough lives to survive. Really wish I had a code system for this game back in the day like level select. Don’t recall if Game Genie ever had 1…..
This must of been my first NES game. But it was on a plug and play with a shooting game and I think a boat one. Probably one of the first I ever played.
Good game, scary death animation WHAT HERO TURNS INTO A PILE OF BONES WHILE BEING........IN HIS UNDERWEAR?! Not even Adventure island/Wonder boy is that brutal
I always thought the music of this game sounded really empty with no percussion, but after listening to the original arcade version, I now see that they were just trying to replicate the arcade soundtrack (which also had no percussion).
PLEASE do yourself a favor and listen to Tom Brier play this on piano! Bring so much crazy life to it without changing a thing. He does it first try, by sight, and is amazing. Favorite pianist.
Who else wished Konami did a Medieval style Castlevania spin-off? I mean Castlevania but with heroic Knight for a Belmont, and A dark king/Sorcerer instead of Dracula.. That would be a really cool concept for me to be honest. Traveling through Dark valleys and ruined castles.. Facing Dragons, Dead knights, trolls, cyclops.. Makes me wish Konami never actually got in the Pachinko machine business.. More great Ideas and franchises could be born! *sigh*

Yep yep, I can still feel it
Touhou?
Manageable.

Challenging, but surely beatable.
Ghost and Goblins?
In your dreams.
Ghosts 'n Goblins is definitely beatable. It's tricky, but possible.
don’t forget Cuphead

the theme of dying more than making progress :)
Yup dying instead of making progress
Though the game is possible to beat, the AVGN was certainly not joking when he said the game is harder than fossilized triceratops turds.

Yes you indeed can. XD
CURSE THAT INSENTIENT SQUEALING! AREN'T YOU FINISHED YET? YOU'VE BEEN STUCK ON THIS LEVEL FOR NEARLY THREE HOURS!
I didn't even played this game but I'm in love with this soundtrack.
Don’t unless you want to self refer to a therapist about your experiences with this game.
The official background music of 2020.
We only in the beginning.
This comment won the internet. Ha ha
Who tf even cares
And by the look of things it'll be the background music of 2022 as well.
Can't wait to die after 8 seconds!
I want a Smash arrangement of this
Yo, Arthur as a DLC fighter, a stage and this music remixed for Smash would be friggin sick
Well they put terry and he really isent popular so it could happen
Arthur's moves could contain his super upgraded attacks from Ghouls 'n Ghosts, in addition to the good old Ghosts 'n Goblins weapons.
I'd also love to see Smash do something with Ghosts & Goblins, but Capcom owns the rights. Although, it's strange that Nintendo got permission from Capcom to use Megaman and not this. It's shame, because I consider Ghosts & Goblins to be an ultimate classic Nintendo title. Legendary status IMO.
FUCK LMAO
fun fact, in russia ghosts'n'goblins was pirated as chostly village or ghostly village, i'm seriously
They should've named it "Boo! Hauted House!"
@polaski
The game's original name is "Demonland village"
@TheBrawlUnit
More like "Knights - the source of iron" :P
“Makaimura”, it was originally called.
what can I say?
"GET THE KNIFE"
Also, Firebrand is awesome.
Get the knife from avgn
1: get the knife.
2: get the knife.
3: get the knife.
Get the shield weapon. You'll need it.
Don't forget the Psycho Cannon. That weapon is also amazing.
@@MeteoraZero yes without the shield you get a bad ending saying it was all an illusion
Sounds like everlasting agony.
When this music plays you are screwed.
This game was so damn hard. Music is soo damn good too!
Everyone: I played this as a kid! Me: SYOBON ACTION
YES
This theme brings back childhood memories!
Ghosts and Goblins are comin' for you tonight, they're gonna get you!
Ghosts and Goblins are gonna put up a fight,
ya gotta get through
zombies and bats and dragons and that's all
just to begin with, meanwhile you're in your underwear.

So do beware 'cause they'll try to bite your wiener!
Psychobilly music! Lol
So u watched the Brentalfloss too?
And we thought Dark Souls is harder.
Amuro Ray damn straight
yeah no this is worse
At least in Dark Souls, you don’t have to play the game twice
Real name for Dark souls should be not ghosts and goblins
its kinda unfair to compare them cause they are entirely different types of difficulty, but this game is the embodiment of misery
It is like Mike Tyson Punch Out and Castlevania had a baby and this came out.
The music to my childhood right here, right alongside the Mario games music.

Here After the smash reveal
I always thought the music of this game sounded really empty with no percussion, but after listening to the original arcade version, I now see that they were just trying to replicate the arcade soundtrack (which also had no percussion).
I played hours and hours of this.
So did I, and I've still never passed the Red Devil at the start.
Que gracioso es UA-cam al recomendarme esto después de que Arthur fuera anunciado como traje Mii
6 stages but enough to kick your ass all day long.
The icon you select basically looks like your characters head mounted on a spike. Just to prepare you what you're in for...
First time I heard this song I was like 5 l years old and just remember running out the room. Didn’t want any parts of what was chasing behind me 😂
Now in Smash
Someone make a beat outta this
I will try.
When you're typing out an essay of a comment and it gets deleted, so you have to write it all over again.
So good! I just played it on piano on my channel!
Super Mario Bros. Crossover- Arthur (NES)- Overworld, Athletic, Sky Clouds and Night themes.
Certainly!
I do not play but I love this game.
Talha ŞAHİN its just so good
When a song is good but it reminds you of a bad time.

Love it when this bop starts playing just for a zombie to immediately resurrect and ruin it
I'm actually here because of the game "I Wanna Be The Guy".
this sounds like music that belongs in pokemon games for the game boy
I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps it's the lack of percussion and the heavy harmony between the two pulse channels.
