How retarded do you have to be to think this is a bad port?

[Anonymous No.5198631]

The controls are a little wonky and I still think the arcade version is superior. But calling NES ghosts and goblins a dogshit port is way too harsh. Near perfect level recreation and enemy placement, and the music and sound effects aren’t too off either. Why the fuck does everyone want to shit on ghosts and goblins NES so much?

[Anonymous No.5198640]

I wouldn't call it good, but it's playable, which was already a nice thing for an arcade adaptation in the 80's.

Never played much of it, but if you want a dogshit port of an awesome game, play the FC version of SonSon. The game just has too much going on for the system to handle.

OP it's just people telling others to play the arcade instead because it's better and easily playable these days. It may not be super terrible but it's not a worthwhile port these days.

Yeah, why not? It's easy, convenient, and free. There is some charm to the old NES GNG, if only as a historical artifact. I think it was the first game released in the US to take advantage of the non-default ROM mapper chips, or at least one of the first. It represents one of the Famicom's first shaky steps towards expanding beyond it's single-screen arcade-inspired roots.

It's a mess. Collision detection is awful, audio is terrible, the scrolling is jerky as fuck and It controls like turds. They could have made it run at 30FPS at least that way the frames would be evenly distributed, but it runs at some stupid random number which makes it fucking jarring and awful to look at. It's incredibly frustrating and not in a good way - it's because it controls like dog shit and the enemy spawning is just out to fuck you over. I love Ghouls n Ghosts, it's hard as balls but in a good way - this is just poorly designed and full of technical flaws.
The NES could be able to handle a good port of it but micronix fucked it up real bad.

Nope enemy placements are actually fucked and more random leading to cheap bullshit, importantly Red Arremer AI has been dumbed down completely and you won't learn how to deal with it properly from playing the port, the throw cancel trick is non existent, bosses are very simple, hitboxes are wonky as fuck and that's not to mention the absolutely godawful framerate making the whole game feel like one big glitchy mess. There are worse ports out there but there is absolutely no reason to play this shit nowadays.

1 credit clear, so beat the game without using continues, if you lose that initial credit you restart.

[Anonymous No.5199681]

>>5199673
1 Credit Clear. As in, beating arcade games with only a coin. No continuing. Pretty important since many of them if emulated or in more recent ports allow you to infinitely continue without consequences, essentially removing all challenge from the game, thus to appreciate the game in any meaningful you must limit credits.

[Anonymous No.5199683]

>>5199681
meaningful way*

[Anonymous No.5199687]

>>5199681
Yeah, because you can't show self restraint when emulating, just like how you can't adjust dipswitches on arcade boards and turn on free play.

[Anonymous No.5199695]

>>5199687
>self restraint
This would mean limiting credits like I said.
1CC is also reinforced through other means, such as resetting your score / penalizing your score upon continuing and locking loops, bosses or endings behind 1CC requirements.

[Anonymous No.5199696]

>>5199687
This IS restraint though, one the games are balanced around no less

>allow you to infinitely continue without consequences, essentially removing all challenge from the game, thus to appreciate the game in any meaningful you must limit credits
Unless you want to simulate being a poor 12 year old, you don't have to artificially limit your virtual mame credits. Back at my local arcade the kids with the paper routes would master a game because they could drop $5, then another $5, and then another $5 as needed. Day after day, they got better and eventually after all those hours of practice they could 1cc certain games. As they got better they could play a long time on one credit so the hourly cost quickly drops over time. It wasn't a lack of money/credits that held them back.

So players back then had effectively "unlimited credits", same as Mame players now. Time on machine was the real issue back then, not a lack of available credits. Real arcades close for the night and kick you out, limiting most players from 5-9pm any given weekday. During that time you had to share machine time with other players as well.

1cc comes from practice and failing, and that is the only reason emulators have the advantage. You have as much "time on machine" as you want, when you want, and you don't have to share the machine. Artificially pretending to limit your credits changes nothing. Real arcade gamers pumped an obscene amount of credits into games to beat them.

[Anonymous No.5199731]

>>5199727
Noone gives a shit about this "authentic nostalgic experience" nonsense, except maybe some people on /vr/ that are anti-emulation ironically. People just want to keep their scores and engage with a game's challenges that credit feeding trivializes, 1cc is just the go-to way to do this because as was said games are all balanced around this and heavily encourage it.

[Anonymous No.5199736]

>>5199731
I'm just saying people spammed as many, if not more credits back in the day then Mame players spam virtual credits now. It was a multi billion dollar industry back then for a reason.

Has nothing to do with being authentic or not. I am just annoyed when anti-mame elitists imply mame's free credits are somehow cheating. Saved states you could make an argument for, but not unlimited credits.

[Anonymous No.5199743]

>>5199736
With real money there's a bit more incentive to actually work towards a 1cc, but besides that it's all the same shit yeah. Credit feeding isn't cheating but it trivializes most games, so if your only interaction with a game is mindlessly feeding credits then you're just cheapening the experience for yourself. As long as you're actively trying to get better it doesn't matter if you credit feed, or limit yourself, or savestate, or whatever though imo.

[Anonymous No.5199752]

>>5199743
It's just insane to look back at how badly people credit spammed the machines back then, at a time where $20 got you a lot more than it does today, and it would vanish into a machine without hesitation. Individual games like pac man and space invaders brought in billions of dollars in quarters.

Capcom outsourced the port (along with the earliest generation of Cap NES games) to Micronics. They did it cheap and dirty. Ikari Warriors and 1942 were no different.

[Anonymous No.5200093]

>>5199727
Well, they kept playing until they could 1CC, right? That's what's suggested to enjoy these games, because these days some infinitely credit feed until the end, consider it beat and find it a meaningless, boring game.
Credit feeding to learn a game first is somewhat reasonable, though save states are a more efficient tool for that these days on emulators.

There was an actual "gambling" element to being good at the game. And also these games were designed to be played in front of an audience. (People standing around you watching.)

Some arcade games even had the display mirrored on a CRT above the cabinet for this exact purpose. (Which was fucking awesome).
