The legendary tale of Sir Arthur and his quest to save Princess Prin Prin from demons was a huge success, but also notoriously difficult. Super tough from the off, in a further sadistic twist it must be completed twice over to reach the true ending. The series then continued with the faster and tougher sequel, Ghouls 'N Ghosts - following the same formula, the slicker and (at the time) cutting edge title was exactly what Sega needed to bolster the line-up of its latest console, pulling off a close-enough arcade perfect conversion for Mega Drive, and to critical acclaim. This is where things get interesting, as it contains new remixed stages selected from previous games in the series. Exclusive to GBA, these nostalgia trips serve up tiny twists for die-hard fans, such as the fire bridge stage from Ghosts 'N Goblins falling apart in places where it never used to, or brand new boss encounters. Unfortunately Capcom failed to coax the poor GBA into effectively handling these additional stages; there's some horrific slow down, most strangely at times when there's hardly any action displayed on-screen. Some of the additional new backgrounds are also a little rough around the edges and the overall stage design isn't quite on par with the originals. Ultimately, they are a nice to have rather than a reason to purchase.A welcome change is the ability to pick up the Ultimate Weapon (required to access and defeat the final boss) during the first play through in arrange mode. In basic terms, this means you don't need to complete the game twice to reach the true ending, a first for the series and much needed relief for those wanting to reach the conclusion.Being a handheld title, Capcom also saw sense to include a save option. This made the game much more user friendly when playing in ten minute chunks on the bus, but it can't be seen as a plus point on Wii U as all Virtual Console games allow for save states.
