Not sure of any of the details yet, but the game is called Goku Makaimura.

For those who don't know Japanese, the games have been:
Makaimura (Ghosts'n'Goblins)
Dai Makaimura (Ghouls'n'Ghosts), dai means big
Chou Makaimura (Super Ghouls'n'Ghosts), chou means super
and now
Goku Makaimura, goku means extreme

 

[argon]

2d ? hmm I may have to buy a PSP. Damn it!

 

[DCharlie]

i never thought i'd see the day - i'm so happy.
*awaits confirmation*

 

[Reilly]

XTREME GHOULS 'N GHOSTS!

 

[cvxfreak]

Aren't the Makaimura games supposed to be some of the hardest games ever?

 

[Gattsu25]

The thing about GnG is that even if it's 3D it's still bound to be a damn good game (Maximo-style)

 

[DCharlie]

yeeeeeeeeeeah
but we want old school 2d hardness action.

 

[Tony HoTT]

One of the game series I hate and love so much at the same time. Kinda like my view on all oldschool platforming games that kick my ass. For some reason it makes it all the more worthwhile to master. Fuck score, I just hope I survive!

 

[DrLazy]

Damn was the NES one hard. Sooooooo hard. I never got to the castle. Wish I owned the game.

 

[JoDark]

2D


now THAT may force 2.0 on me.

 

[Amir0x]

yeeeeeeeeeeah
but we want old school 2d hardness action.

Affirmative.

PLEASE DONT FUCK THIS UP

Also, I hope it's not just an 'extreme' version of an older Ghouls game. I WANT A BRAND NEW GAME BASED ON THIS IP IN BEAUTIFUL 2D, AND ALL ITS CHALLENGING GLORY.

 

[mutsu]

Hmm... I thought someone just said recently 2D can't be done on PSP (IGA I think).

 

[evilromero]

Now THIS is a PSP title that has me excited.

 

[argon]

Also, I hope it's not just an 'extreme' version of an older Ghouls game.

Yeah, as if GnG needed to be any harder! =)

 

[Leatherface]

DAMN IT! THIS BETTER HIT THE DS!!!! =_(

 

[heavy liquid]

please2Dplease2Dplease2Dplease2D

 

[Xellos]

This needs to be 2D sprites/backgrounds with some 3D effects thrown in.

It also needs to return the up/down attacks that were taken out in Super G&G.

 

[Amir0x]

Yeah, as if GnG needed to be any harder! =)

No, in this case they'd just make the main character have glowy red eyes and add a shit ton of blood, and a new 'endless mode' for wifi.

 

[Gattsu25]

Hmm... I thought someone just said recently 2D can't be done on PSP (IGA I think).

He said it wasn't finaccially feasible IIRC

 

[DrLazy]

It will be 2D but Sony won't let it come stateside.

 

[Bebpo]

I wonder if it's just a Maximo port since all Capcom releases are ports on PSP.

That being said Maximo is an AAA series so even ports of those games would be better than most of the other ports they're churning out.

 

[Mrbob]

Fuck Maximo. Give me some true Ghouls and Ghosts sequel action!

 

[mutsu]

If the game is called Makaimura, then I don't think it will be Maximo... Capcom used the name Maximo for their PS2 game, so this is something different IMHO.

 

[ManaByte]

Aren't the Makaimura games supposed to be some of the hardest games ever?

And if you bitch about them being too hard, you fail at gaming.

 

[fullmetalzero]

Leading up to E3, the idea of resurrecting (heh) the GnG series was really gaining momentum within Capcom (Japan) and ultimately got the green light. We'll see the UFO catcher type prize machine at JAMMA, the "2.5D" PSP game, and a fully 3D cross-platform game is in development in Japan for X360 and PS3.

 

[op_ivy]

if its 2.5d, awesome. i loved that game on the genesis.

and a 3d version for next-gen? wonder if its based on that online game that never saw the light of day?

Couldnt have said it better.

 

[kenta]

Man these PSP announcements just keep getting better and better. Worms, Lemmings, Ghouls and Ghosts... Keep 'em coming, these upgraded classics are where it's at.

 

[jooey]

Goku Makaimura, goku means extreme

we're fucked.

 

[krypt0nian]

As long as Goku referes to the difficulty level we have a winnah!

 

[lunlunqq]

[COCKLES]

Probably some 3D effort ala Maximo.

If it's 2D...

DS GAF forum meltdown. Gentleman...start your flaming torches!

 

[john tv]

Awesome. Too bad it's not DS, though. If they're gonna go PSP, it better not be some lame-o 3D crap.

what are the other games?

 

[Jonnyram]

what are the other games?

Harvest Moon Boy & Girl, Monster Kingdom Jewel Summoner, Crash Bandicoot, and all that non-specific Sega stuff (incl. Project S)

 

[lunlunqq]

I cannot read Japanese, either

Thanks, Jonnyram!

 

[bobbyconover]

Jonny, just out of curiosity, what does "Nazo" mean? As in Nazomakaimura Incredible Toons, the obscure psx/Saturn GnG-themed port of the PC game Incredible Toons, which itself was a sort of spinoff of The Incredible Machine:

 

[lunlunqq]

Well, the Kanji "Nazo" in Chinese means "mystery" or "puzzle." I guess it means "puzzle" here.

 

[ManaByte]

The Sega sports game may be a port of Sega Sports Jam.

 

[Red Scarlet]

Ooooh, neat. I love the (2d) series.

 

[DCharlie]

damn it

the data on the mig was inaccurate.

Please ignore

 

[Juice]

This series is way too fucking difficult to be fun for me.

I dislike dying.

I finished Ghouls & Ghosts on Genesis, Super G&G on SNES, and the re-release on the GBA. Stop whining.

Well, all it means is you're better than me.

I just suck at the games, and (this is really more of the reason), I HATE replaying the same level more than once. I like constantly being introduced into new areas and artwork... repeating stuff is just painful. So normally, that means I dislike overly challenging games.

 

[neo2046]

surprise!
it is 2D
it is brand new

capcom, what are you thinking??
2D Ghouls'n'Ghosts for PSP and 3D biohazard 1 for NDS :lol

 

[GDGF]

surprise!
it is 2D
it is brand new

capcom, what are you thinking??
2D Ghouls'n'Ghosts for PSP and 3D biohazard 1 for NDS :lol

:lol Yeah, that is kinda ass backwards.

 

[DCharlie]

lol - yeah, that's truly strange indeed! :}

Add to that : Real VJ on DS, spin off fighter on PSP.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

surprise!
it is 2D
it is brand new

capcom, what are you thinking??
2D Ghouls'n'Ghosts for PSP and 3D biohazard 1 for NDS :lol

Still the prospects of new games actually using the the higher resolution for 2D is damn enticing!

 

[ourumov]

Good news...I was only expecting SFZ3 from Capcom but it seems this could be another good game to look at...No puzzles please...

 

[BatmanX]

Yes. Maximo series is a pure bunch of crap. That's all.
