Can we get a comfy Makaimura thread going?

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts with the restoration/fastROM patch is the peak of the series.

I was just playing the Sega System version of this. It's so fucking bad, holy Christ.

Just play the PS1 or the Saturn version as they don't have slowdown.

I recently found out that Capcom Classics for PS2 has all 3 games. I need to play Dai Makaimura.
>>
>>11508201
That was always my fave as a kid
>>
>>11507821
The only comfy thing about this game is the first level music.
>>
>>11507826
Ghouls 'N Ghosts mogs the shit out of Super because of the movement speed alone
Removing slowdown doesn't fix the game's general slowness
>>
>>11508646
This, Super Ghouls n Ghosts feels like walking through molasses compared to the OG or Ghouls.

All 3 games are in the Japan Capcom Generation #2 disc for PS1. The games have changeable difficulty, including easy and up to 9 lives.
>>
>>11508862
That game is also available on Saturn

Mike Matei had some solid playthroughs of this series

Also the modern ports are on sale for less than $1 on Nintendo and Xbox stores

Yes, on Saturn also but twice the price as of now. There's always Duckstation too if you're an emulator guy.
>>
>>11508862
Thanks for the heads up. I've never heard of that series and there are five of them! Fortunately, as I'm using my PS2 with an internal HDD, Capcom Classics Vol. 1 is the compilation of all five.

i need to play more of this series. ive only played a bit of the nes game when i was a kid, and super ghouls n ghosts was a game i rented often when the snes was new and my rental store didnt have much else. i never got very far in it back then. usually died during the raft segment. but since then ive played it a ton and got the gba version too. the snes game difficulty is quite manageable once you get used to the jumping, however from what ive seen of the arcade games they are absurdly difficult.
>>
>>11507821
I want to like this series but it’s just so ball busting in a way that I feel is almost random at times.
I have most of the series across various official collections and unofficial emulation, and every single one I’ve tried has whipped my ass six ways from Reddit. But it always feels like something random: the burrito ghosts randomly changing height, platforms during boss fights randomly sinking, whatever. I want to get better at these games because the aesthetic is cool and I like how Arthur controls, but goddamn
>>
Cleared the Mega Drive port of Daimakaimura today. It was definitely still fun most of the time, but I just felt like shit knowing that the arcade version is so much prettier and has such a better soundtrack. I really need to order a new ps1 laser so I can play it on the generations collection again...
>>
>>11511335
The final boss also felt way too easy, and this was the first time I saw him. I killed him in like 10 hits and I wasn't forced to learn his pattern.
There's also the thing of the second loop feeling barely harder than the first. Only changes were a few birds in stage 1. Is the arcade version like that?
>>

That will change in the future.

Glad to be of service anon. I've seen bundles on Ebay for $80 all 5, that's PS1 version mind you.
>>
>>11507821
If GNG intimidates you, play Ghouls N' Ghosts (American version). The checkpoints in this game are VERY forgiving. True knights play Daimakaimura instead. If you can clear it once you can do it twice. Remember to get the knife.

I prefer Gnomes n' Ghastlies

What are you talking about? Still, what's the point of your criticism when the hack isn't even finished yet.
