Ultimate frustration: Ghouls 'n Ghosts for iPhone exists photo

Wanna know what immediately comes to mind when I think of extremely easy videogames? It sure as hell isn't Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, or anything in between. Sorry, Arthur, but your games are tough.

As spotted by Touch Arcade, Capcom gave a demonstration of a new iPhone-bound Ghouls 'n Ghosts at TGS that looks eerily similar to the visual style of Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins on PSP. I'm still trying to comprehend how beating the game will be feasible when it's hard enough to do so with physical controller buttons.

That said, there's no way it will be as bad in terms of control as the laughably unnecessary Resident Evil 4 iPhone port. I guess if you are in the market for sadism on the go, Capcom is the company to turn to.

Three words come to mind about this game being on a iPhone/iTouch: Oh Hell no!

Now we can prepare for people attempting to return their iPhones and iPod Touches because they "accidentally broke it into pieces."***

***NOTE: Translated to: after getting frustrated with the game itself and smashing it with a blunt object, or tossing it out of a window or moving vehicle.

How many Iphones will get thrown out of windows because of this?

Having this on your Iphone should void the guaranty

"Sadism on the go"? I think you mean masochism, sir.

I broke a controller by playing this game, so I wouldn't risk breaking my ipod touch.
