Arthur: Ghosts 'n Goblins Support Thread

[Mr. Stevenson]

They really made Sir Arthur dirty, eh.

It’s depressing when the Mii costume is better than the fighters, and it’s even more depressing how that seems to be a thing Nintendo tends to keep up with.

 

[Perkilator]

Just as I was supporting him, too.

Oh, well. Live to fight another day.

 

[Phoenix Douchebag]

Damn, my condolences, the only Non-MegaMan Capcom newcomer i actually wanted.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I'm honestly still happy. No matter how much I wanted him to be playable, I wasn't expecting it. And getting a Mii is great too.

Maybe for Smash 6!

 

[Aerospherology]

You got a Mii Costume. Congrats!

 

[Janx_uwu]

Alright everyone, get your $0.75 ready. Let's show Nintendo how much we love and appreciate this classic series and its protagonist.

A new Ghosts and Goblins game came out last week! So was Arthur's mii costume intended to promote his new game?

Travis (No More Heroes) may have been forgotten, but Arthur remains remembered to this day.

I bought Resurrection. I'm buying the Mii. That's all I can do at this point.

 

[Yokta]

I really don't understand the point of this costume. If you don't already have an Arthur Mii, isn't this just generic knight armor? Unless it transforms into boxers above 100% damage or something...

 

[DarthEnderX]

It's point is to say "GnG is in Smash kinda!"

 

[Perkilator]

I'd say it'd be hilarious if Arthur showed up in Vol. 2 anyways and that he would've had to beat Astaroth twice to get into Smash, but I know Smash doesn't play by those rules.

 

[DanganZilla5]

I wasn't expecting Arthur so I'm happy with the costume and that Ghosts n Goblins got something.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Arthur just got a new game, so even if he's just getting a costume this time, it's still a win overall, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Ohhh man, I'm just a Bill Rizer Mii Gunner away from finishing the SNES Classic checklist!

 

[SneakyLink]

By the way, if you have played Ghosts n Goblins Resurrection on the same system you play Smash, you get a Arthur spirit.

The spirit will be made available at a later date to all players.

 

[DynoStretch]

Shout out to the Arthur supporters here. Went ahead and made an Arthur mii to use with the costume. I was having trouble figuring out which color looked the most reddish brown for his facial hair,

 

[Giga Kaiju]

Passing by to leave my congratulations. For some time, I had always liked the idea of Ghosts N Goblins being represented someway in Smash and I'm kind of glad that it some attention. Regardless of reason, it is still some light for the series. Arthur's costume looks alright and I'll definitely try it out as I adore the series.

I have yet to try Resurrection but in due time I will as it looks interesting despite the changes.

What a time to be a fan, indeed. Hopefully this does well for the future somehow. For the series and for Smash.

Huh, that's pretty neat. Haven't seen that kind of spirit in a while, but an ideal game to do it for.

 

[Looma]

Arthur's getting so much more love than I ever expected. Gladly accepting this dub. I will feed my promotional Arthur spirit well and treasure him always.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Doc is training him up as we speak!

 

[Oddball]

That's actually a pretty awesome Arthur Mii.

 

[tonygameman]

Now when I'm thinking about it, ever since a Mii costume and spirit (via Resurrection's save data) came up, people will be more interested on Ghosts 'n Goblins (depending on a difficulty) and may discuss their ideas there more than we had before.

I can't wait for people to call it the "Dark Souls" of 2D platformers, even if it actually isn't that much far off from the truth.

But yeah, publicity via Smash even like this will be good in the long run. It'll increase support for Arthur and at the very least get this thread bigger than a diddy three pages.

 

[Bee Card]

RIP my boi

Sounds a little bit backwards to me.

They call it "Nintendo Hard" for a reason, and games like Ghosts and Goblin were very much one of those reasons.

It would actually be kind of funny if for Ghosts and Goblins spirit battles, you stared off at 300% damage for each one.

Or you have to do twice the battles lol.

I'm just referencing how journalists called the Crash trilogy the "Dark Souls" of 3D platformers, back when N. Sane Trilogy released.

Well, that exclusivity period turned out to be absurdly short.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Well, they probably hoped it would get Arthur into Smash. And when it didn't they were like "Well nuts to you then!"

At the end of the day, Capcom wants to make lots of money on as many platforms as possible, so this isn't new (take it from someone who bought Viewtiful Joe when it first was a Gamecube exclusive). I just didn't expect it this soon.

That said, I get the distinct impression that so far they've been having issues deciding on a DLC character, seeing as Monster Hunter and Resident Evil have also been skipped over entirely (with insiders only stating "internal politics" for RE's case), and Chun-Li is rumored to have had plans for her dropped. So unless it was first come first serve (from the part of other developers), I'd find it bleeding weird for Capcom to just settle with in the base game and some DLC Mii costumes.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I mean, they did get to have a Boss. That's not nothing.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Regardless of anything, I'm glad that GnG's revival will gain more exposure to new players.

I kinda dread the prospect of the trophies/achievements though (yes, it's also on Xbox One).

 

[DarthEnderX]

Regardless of anything, I'm glad that GnG's revival will gain more exposure to new players.

Indeed. The one-two punch of a Mii costume and a new game will do a lot to introduce it to an entirely new generation.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

Quite a long-time fan of Sir Arthur myself for long while now - still do go back on the classic trilogy now and then, along with being a beloved main of Arthur in MvC3. (Thanks to both Mushroom Kingdom Fusion and Project x Zone for bringing me interest~)

I'm already pretty content with the tributes and now the recent reboot installment GnG has gotten from Capcom, so this is just sweet gesture- the Mii Costume looks decent enough, I'd say~

 

[Oddball]

I finally got around to playing the new Ghosts and Goblins game.

I do like how on easier difficulties Arthur's armor can be knocked off in chunks and wonder if that would work in Smash.

 

[pupNapoleon]

This, Vault Boy, and Cuphead were the PreMIIums I was happy to see.
I'd have taken the first two (Arthur and Vault Boy) as full characters, but it is one instance where the upgraded costumes make me content.

 

[DarthEnderX]

Arthur shoulda come with a song...

 

[SharkLord]

And CET day
https://smashboards.com/threads/cha...ad-day-41-sir-arthur-ghosts-n-goblins.513316/
Come down here and discuss

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

In a sorta big deal, Arthur is coming into Monster Hunter now.

Yes, you've read this right.

 

[DarthEnderX]

I mean...a Capcom game showing up in another Capcom game isn't really a big deal...

I wish the collab went both ways and I could, like, fight Rathalos in GnGR or something.
