That sword is terrible and I have been playing it on the hardest difficulty in the arcade version. I played ghosts on the NES though and have been going through that again on the hardest difficulty on the arcade rom
you bet (which is why I said I beat it twice)
Iām not sure how differemt the Sega megadrive version was, but yeah. If you have the sword on the 4th boss it is a softlock.
ah yes
the genesis is named differently outside of NA
i forgot
Screw the torch as well and the arcade just looks better/sounds better and has more difficulty options through dip switches from mame
Torch?
you donāt remember the torch?
I do love how it had āPracticeā mode which was identical to normal, except the magic boxes werenāt as big of arseholes in practice mode
I might remember it by a different name
You would need practice mode
Itās the thing that you can throw in a arc and only have a few on the screen. The best part is that you canāt throw more than 2 on the screen and if it hits the ground it takes a few seconds before you can use another one
The blue fire?
yes, exactly that, screw it
Situationally it was Ok. It made some bosses easier. And itās super armour ability was great.
The axe was worse imo.
the weapon you want is the knife, itās like the AVGN says ā1. get the knife 2. get the knife 3. GET THE KNIFEā āYOU DONāT CUT A STEAK WITH A BUTTER KNIFE, NO YOU GET THE KNIFE!ā
Agreed. Best weapon, followed by the magic fairy stuff if you have super armour. Spear was good and discus situationally better
This is probably getting off topic
This doesnāt have a topic right now.
Many a time there was an enemy that dropped an weapon I didnāt want and me trying to figure out how to jump over it
just kill yourself in those situations because to pick up the sword,axe, or torch is worse than death
My record for NES games is actually decent, beaten Castlevania twice (I breezed through the second time), the megaman games several times, ghost and goblins (got the true ending), and beat the Ninja Gaiden series (beat NG1 mostly in one go here recently)
