- It's the 50th Johnny Vs. Review, and good God, what have I gotten myself into? It's Halloween, and as such we're looking at two games that are filled to the brim with demons, monstrosities, and all-around not-goodness. It's Ghosts 'N Goblins for the NES, and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts for the SNES.

*has to play the game twice*
"The princess can enjoy her time in hell. Move on to the next game."
XD I died there.
Anything to end that neverending squealing
@@Bobman-ml5qf You’re the boss. ;)
Move on to the next 3 games actually now... the original on the nes, gouls and gosts, then super ghouls and ghosts, then ultimate ghosts and goblins then the nintendo switch ghosts and goblins ressurection
@@Bobman-ml5qf they are already in the first stage of gng resurrection and they are annoying as.. hel! On legend mode ofcourse even normal mode

"Your body will shake, your hands will be sweating all over the controller, your heart will be racing out of control, you'll forget to breathe, and your eyes will burn from not blinking. These are all common symptoms of NES Fever. You get it from playing games like Ninja Turtles, Street Fighter 2010, the Famicom Transformers... and this one..."
- The Angry Video Game Nerd - Episode 108: Ghosts 'N Goblins
Director Brian ScrewAttack should do a Death Battle between Johnny vs AVGN
*ASSSSS!*
1. Get the Knife
2. Get the Knife
3. GET THE KNIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol, avgn momemnt.
jogsosog avgn moment indeed sir.
AVGN FTW.
"Now that's a knife!" ;)
You want to cut stake with a plastic spoon? No, get the knife.
I freaking love this review. There is so much honest rage here. None of it seems staged.
★ Froggie Animation ★ his rage he meant
Obviously the Tail’s doll part is staged, but his feelings are honest and genuine. He HATES the NES Ghosts and Goblins
@★ Froggie Animation ★ nah this game is legitimately that fucking difficult.
@★ Froggie Animation ★ no shit it is it's scripted but Johnny feels as if he conveys his rage well in a way that feels real (god I see you constantly why are you such a miserable contrarian bitch)
@Bulb66 His rage wasn't staged its real dumbass
I feel like for this game you don't even have to TRY to make it genuine
John: Please crap up on me
Tails Doll: Not gonna happen Johnny
is it just me or does that scene always makes me laugh.
Same here!
Facts
Well…..does it?
With the Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection announcement, I can seriously imagine Johnny will get stuck in his house forever again unknowingly by Tails Doll if he doesn’t complete it.
.....The princess can enjoy spending her time her hell. Move on to the next game! Lol I lost it there XD
Karim Moukrem if sonic r ever gets a remaster sega please hire johnny to voice tails doll he'd be hilarious
James Griffin or at least if Tails doll ever gets speaking lines in a game, let Johnny voice him. It doesn't have to be a remaster of Sonic r.
Select Difficulty
Easy
Min ._. I think that’s a Dark Castle SEGA Genisus AVGN reference
i actually like the challenge of the game and yea the game is really hard but its like a fun hard kinda game for me cause ift reels like a game i wanna fell ilike progressing in and figuring it out it stars out cool then it gets harder
@@justintahair9119 My exact feelings for The Lost Levels. It's actually a okay Mario game, but if you go in it blind and don't know what to do for certain levels it's absolute fucking bullshit.
and to think there's a programmed expert mode you can't get to normally.
And then Ninja Gaiden.
Good job, Johnny. You deserve a check for a billion dollars for going through that.
how about a trillion dollars
***** GASP!
+Ethan G. How about a QUADRILLION dollars?!
Rebel Page *Double gasp*
How about a QUINTILLION DOLLARS
I've seen this episode, like, 10 times in the past few years...
Yep. Still hasn't gotten old. :D
9:28 GHOSTS THAT RESPAWN IN *RANDOM LOCATIONS!!!!!!*
Darius French did I mention ghosts that respawn in random locations?
Sonic McGrath those goddamn ghosts
Darius French that respawn in random locations.
"GHOSTS THAT RESPAWN IN RANDOM LOCATIONS!!!!!!!"Which were never really an issue for me since i have good enough reflexes to take them out as soon as they appear. i wish i could say the same for the rest of the game though.
Who still remembers when Mark turned off the TV and trapped the tails doll?
+enderbane231 I do. he did that in the Saw videogame review.
+enderbane231 Where is the review tho. I just CANNOT find it
+Zayaan Nashrid
It's on SGB
Dargona1018 I saw recently
I do. from the Saw video game review.
Did Johnny seriously smash the game with a hammer? Guess he took some inspiration from Amy Rose.
+DarthVidar-spiller I'm pretty sure we all would do it to this game if we had the chance.
Thomas Ink Yeah, probably.
"Cringe"
***** AVGN?
+DarthVidar-spiller I think he was inspired by Thor. After all, that was Thor's hammer.
OK I may get this wrong, The game's enemy placement was designed in a way that when testing it, playtesters had to have trouble passing through each and every screen at least once.
Oscar Rock I can't remember, somethin about me making a game based off ghosts n goblins or something like that.....
this doesnt make it any better
***** Never said it made it better, what they did there was clever, but they fell flat on the controls and other things.
LeatherIceCream or in other words, terrible game design.
1. GET THE KNIFE
2.GET THE KNIFE
3.GET THE KNIFE
still no replies?
The AVGN was correct! The knife is just SO much faster. You can throw roughly twice the number of knives per unit time as you can javelins, and they both do one unit of damage. When you have a 'unicorn' (intended to be a cyclops, but mistranslated because of confusion over one horn versus one eye) requiring 9 or 10 hits walking toward you, being able to launch twice as many weapons in those couple seconds is VERY welcome.
This is what I was thinking as he talked about the shield.
EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEFUCK YOU!!!
I take it that "long time no see" is a reference to your old complaint about Sonic's speech patterns, right? Or was that just a coincidence? On another note, Maldita Castilla is a much better version of this, and that's a free indie game.
Sgb Sonic racing reference 😎
I watched my aunt set down and play straight through Ghouls and Ghosts once. It was incredible.
"The princess can enjoy spending her time in hell,"
Move on to the next game.
"Anything to avoid that never-ending squealing..."
*Teleports out of the room.*
@@TheRacingOtaku Johnny: You're the boss.
What mario should say to peach
@@supersquish5936 your princess is in another hell
List of thing GnG should've had
1.Time Limit Removal
2.A Health Meter (More than 2 hits)
3.Bosses take less hits
4.Weapon Balance
5.Enemy Balance
6.Redo Stage 6 if you don't have the shield
7.Use of Passwords

ChillManStudios So, casualized gameplay.
*****
Steam peasant, arcade master race.
Marcel Weber no? Basically, FAIR GAMEPLAY.
Giordan Diodato
Just play another game for that, this game is all about muscle memory and reflexes. Also, the NES version is shit, just play the arcade.
Marcel Weber or the SNES/Genesis versions.
I'm assuming the reason Tails Doll couldn't get out of the TV was because the only way out was to complete over a million of those fucking circuit puzzles from SAW
I wonder if Johnny forgot the Genesis version of Ghosts 'n Goblins.
***** Ghouls n Ghosts? It's likely he never played it.
Giordan Diodato I see. The Genesis version did add some powerups like the sword.
The Genesis port is definitely easier than the arcade version of Ghouls N Ghosts
L-Y3T Thank god for it despite the fact that it still requires you to beat it twice.
it's Ghouls'n Ghosts. its a timeless classic. I'm mad that every body always forgets it exists.
Anyone else feel that the people who made the NES version of Ghosts n' Goblins had no idea how to utilize the hardware effectively? I mean, the graphics are basic, the game runs like shit, and barely any of the sound channels are used. Feels like a really sloppy port.
+Zachary Jones It's indeed an sloppy port, wasn't even ported by Capcom.
+Marcel Weber Wow, maybe any other companies thinking of outsourcing their ports (looking at you, Warner) should be forced to play this game all the way through to see what they're doing to their games.
+Zachary Jones Hence, this video
+Zachary Jones Port? Of what?
Plus what do you mean by sound channels?
+Skeeter Mania This was originally an arcade game
Johnny was not the first TH-camr to smash an NES cartridge with Mjolnir.
Lee Thompson-Kolar Yep, Jon was the first TH-camr to smash an NES cartridge with Mjolnir.
+Lee Thompson-Kolar JonTron. AND THE MJOLNIR BROKE
+Lee Thompson-Kolar In all fairness, both games deserved it
Ryan Saeed No Batman
+Thomas Ink Actually, the SNES game didn't piss Johnny off.
"Chock full of these motherfuckers"
I love that line
+SENPAIDOESMEMES dotcom Just the way he says it, its just ... awesome
Graphics wise, Ghosts and Goblins for the NES is a poor port. The arcade original actually looks pretty good. Gameplay wise, I like it but I understand the feelings on the game. All of the criticism you stated is 100% true. The people defending this game are really grasping for straws when they try to defend the criticism brought up. They problems are real, it's just a matter of taste of whether or not you mind it or not. The later games are much better, I'm disappointed that you didn't review Ghouls and Ghosts for the Megadrive/et all. I love that game, I wish I had it back in the day on my Genesis.
What's more annoying about most of these flaws in the game is they are largely intentional. Remember, it was an *arcade* game so making it next to impossible for you to beat without putting more and more quarters in was a common practice. Which leads to all kinds of unfair difficulty.
The NES gameplay is kind of jittery and poorly programmed as well. It was a Micronics port (same people responsible for the lousy NES 1942) and not done by Capcom themselves. The problems with the port really become apparent when you play very smooth arcade original.
I'm a bigger fan of Ghouls 'n Ghosts myself and the Genesis port of that is nearly flawless. Super GnG is technically impressive but it's just not quite as well designed (and suffers from some annoying slowdown which is murder in a GnG game).
Skin Puppet So when is your gameplay of Ghosts and Goblins coming out?
@ZCS It's git gud you casual
12:19
Tails Doll: Wait, what does this mean?
Johnny: The room was an illusion and a trap "devisut" by Satan. I need to go ahead dauntlessly and make rapid "progres".
TD: You have to play the entire game again?
J: Yep. You have to play the game twice in order to save the princess, and the second round's more difficult than the first, meaning more enemy encounters like those squealing ghosts that you like so much.
TD: ...the princess can enjoy spending her time in Hell. Move on to the next game. Anything to avoid that never ending squealing... *vanishes*
J: You're the boss.
I'm dead. 😂
and people call dark souls difficult.....*laughs maniacally*
It's difficult for games TODAY
Past games were just Bullshit
***** hahaha true
(Throws Mega Man 2: Hard Mode at you)
Meh. Thats why i want to give it a try as my first mega man game. but you know what was brutal?
The Wily War for the gameboy.
***** Oh wait, i mean it was Dr. Wily's Revenge for the Gameboy.
Welp...I pulled out this game in the Fortune Cookie today. Decided to sit down and humor the idea for an hour or two.
And I beat it. I'm almost certain this came from watching this video and looking at your jumping arcs, knowing the areas to restock armor, and other things. So thanks John, the saga is complete!
Wow, one of those "Reviewer Side-stories" actually done with subtlety and grace. Usually, most reviewers just fall flat on their faces with this stuff, but you did a marvelous job, Johnny.
It's funny that the princess says that your normal weapons won't work, you can actually do a cheat on the options menu to warp to the final boss (which my brother and I did constantly because this game is fucking hard) and what weapon does it give you by default?
The Javelin.
Well now, I think we finally found a video game enemy that Johnny despises more than the Yellow Devil
Part @11:02 had me in damn tears laughing so hard. Seeing Johnny and even Tails Doll being driven crazy is hilarious. 😂
Tails Doll subjecting Johnny to this game and then being driven mad by the ghost noises is a textbook example of both
"I'm not trapped in here with you, You're trapped in here with me" and "I am a genius! OH NO!"
And now, three years later, he has beaten the game completely on SGB. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez.
Hard to believe this most classic of episodes is nearly 10 years old.
Back in high school, gotta say this episode made my freshman year.
Nearly 10 years later it's a timeless classic that I have on my halloween playlist every year. Just excellent!
This and Battletoads tie for hardest NES, both for own reasons, Battletoads is a much better game though i have played through toads 5 times now, gng i could only stomach once, its like getting slapped over and over until the ending where you get slapped again. not fun.. but something attractive about it, probably the difficulty.
But Battletoads is, from what I've heard, a fun type of hard like Zelda II and Castlevania 1. It's not really hampered by terrible controls and bullshit enemy placement.
Giordan Diodato it really is. Everyone should play it to understand why people still use the term nintendo hard. Its rediculous but very beatable with wnough practice. I have been through it 5 times cuz its arguably my favorite game for nes. Its the design of the game which is so damn amazing every level you play is different. First lvl is beat em up style,second is going down a tunnel on a rope, third is riding down the turbo tunnel on speeder bikes. Etc the design is incredible. The japanese version is great and fair. The american version was built to make money. Still great though. I prefer over the japanese one cuz u can really test ur gaming mettle to the ultimate limit.
Ninja Gaiden III comes pretty close too!
Hopefully he'll review Battletoads
I love how the Tails Doll did not know you have to beat the game twice. When he finds out, they just move on.
I love AVGN!
@DGSTUFWORLD avgn is better
Jaydien Parks I think the AVGN has gone soft. I still love his videos, but after his review of Big Rigs I started to lose interest.
@@TheScribe1.0 same, Johnny is better
Fun fact: Despite its absurd difficulty, Ghosts n' Goblins is listed by Wikipedia in a list of the greatest games of all time.
I absolutely love Super Ghouls n Ghosts but I’m convinced the legacy of NES Ghosts n Goblins comes entirely from infamy. Even by NES standards the game is absurdly bullshit, ugly and poorly made. If it wasn’t for childhood trauma and rage reviews like this no one would ever care for that game. The sequels are much better, Johnny is accurate here.
@@bulb9970The arcade version is even harder than the NES version!
Playing through all the levels just to to it all over again with higher difficulty "The princess can enjoy her time in hell" Tails Doll 2013
What was he saying at 11:12?
Alder613 "CURSE THAT INCESSANT SQUEALING!!!" Could be a different word than incessant, but after looking up the definition that works and that's sorta what I hear so that's probably right.
So... are we going to ignore that Johnny is worthy of lifting Thor’s hammer? XD
I mean jontron was also worthy to hold it too.
So am I! I got one at Comic-Con!
Yes, yes we are
He beat ghosts n gobins that makes him worthy
Shut up nerd
My god. More than 1 year later, this review still makes me laugh my ass off.
10 years old later this year and still one of the all time classic Johnny Vs reviews, probably second best just behind Sonic 06!
Also, Tails Doll's expression at 12:21 always kills me for some reason haha!
i could be wrong about this, but i think johnny dislikes ghosts that respawn in random locations, there's a subtle hint about it about halfway through the video
Rewatching this video made me realize, " Wait, it`s already been one year since this review?!"
Anyone else thought like it was only yesterday he reviewed these games?
honestly johnny, this is probably the funniest review you've made so far, i love the little skits you've done with tails doll, and at this point i think with each video you get better and better
12:40
10/10
Tails Doll speaks for everyone.
Having been around since the channels early days I'm glad you brought back one of my fave things about them.
Tails Doll must be the work of an enemies stand.
Jojokes
VampireKatana NANI???
11:13 Whoa-ho-ho-hoooooo! look at those eyes! My heart skipped a beat when I saw this!
How do you spell Ghosts and Goblins for the NES? S-A-D-I-S-T-I-C.
No that's C.O.D.
Ghosts & Goblins is spelled F-U-C-K-I-N-G P-S-Y-C-H-O-P-A-T-H.
At least there are unlimited continues
Ragnar Ahlman not in the famicom version
Who else is here after the remake got announced
I am.
Your lighting for the dark is fantastic. I applaud your technical skills.
When you come back to this video 7+ years later because the Ghost and Ghouls franchise is BACK for some reason.
According to 5:06, you need God-like reflexes....using shitty control sensitivity. HOW CAN THOSE BE PUT TOGETHER?!?!?!?
Oh, and by the way, who else would love to see John review a game along with AVGN? That would be a dream come true.
Ooh! Ooh! Me!
to be honest the control isn't that bad
They kind of did a review of one of the Sonic movies recently. 🥴
congrats on 1 milli. here’s to many more!
Ghosts N Goblins Ressuruction was announced at the Game Awards 2020. The visuals are amazing.
14:41 HOLY SHIT, that was close!
I wish Tails Doll returned, he's a great Villain.
This is probably my 3rd favorite video of yours Johnny, keep up the good work
LOL, at the end of the video, did Johnny just borrow Thor's hammer just to destroy the game out of rage?.
Hey Johnny! Wanna get rid of Tails Doll? Play the sound effects of the squealing ghosts from Ghosts and Globins since he likes them so much!
I only beat Ghosts N' Goblins with save states...
+A Banana Well, excuse me for not having the time and skill for that. And to be fair, I didn't abuse save states until around Stage 3. Besides, it's still ridiculous even with save states...
My shame was lost a long time ago...
+Ness Prower Typical 12 year old kid who can't beat hard nes games so they rely on savestates, I hope you're proud of yourself.
As opposed to you, who can beat it on-camera without dying?...
Of course I'm going to die if I play it but I would persevere and beat it fair and square and not cheat like you. I couldn't stand playing 6-3 for the 69th time in Ninja Gaiden (NES) but I endured the pain and beat it. You should do the same.
My favourite Johnny review, so funny. Kudos to you for beating this game, I doubt I'd be able to get past level 2 or 3 unless I spent days and days repeatedly playing.
11:19 Johnny has entered Sherlock mode
What ?
The PSP version is pretty awesome, he should check it out
Trevor Anthony super ghouls and ghosts enjoyable difficulty
I watched this when I was like 10, I remember. I was eating Taco Bell at the family computer. Such a strange memory for me, and it's the only SomecallmeJohnny video I've ever watched.
8:33 - "I'd rather play Sonic 06 than slug through this unholy piece of programming." We all know how you feel about Sonic 06, Johnny.
This is one of my absolute favorite reviews
TO beat Ghosts N Goblins: GET THE KNIFE!
$5 says the last game he reviews for the Tails Doll is I Wanna Be The Guy.
Pay up dude
Back again for Halloween 2018.
Happy spoopy day. It’s 2:44AM where I’m at while I’m currently writing this. Love this review.
You know what would make this game better? If it was made by the rainbow company. YOU KNOW what Rainbow Company I'm talking about
Laughing Joking Numbnuts.
I need more Johnny/Tails Doll interactions!
9:01
He sounds completely different when mad
You especially deserve the title of Super Gaming Brother after beating the first Ghosts 'N Goblins game. No, scratch that, it should be Ultra Super-Stupendous Amazing Gaming Brother!
"I'm looking forward to our last meeting."
I guess, that answers the question of no sign of Tails Doll these days.
Echo the Dolphin
Plus when the SGB reviewed themselves, Johnny said that the Tails Doll had run its course & doesn’t see a game that’ll make him return any time soon after the Ecco The Dolphin series.
3:00 When your college teacher assigns a 50 page essay that you need to email in just two days.
So this is that elder ring game people have been talking about.
"What? You have to play the Game Again?"
"Yeah, You have to beat the AGAIN to get the ending."
"...The princess can enjoy her time in Hell, onto the next game."
Best lines, 10/10
Lol
Your animation work is amazing on the tails doll and ChimneySwift's minecraft files animations.
Wow, it's hard to notice going one video at a time, but John's practically turned into a completely different reviewer over the years
"How about those ogres that take forever to kill?"
"How about those bluebirds that are constantly pestering you while you're trying to kill said ogres?"
"What about those little blue imps that are questionably hard to hit at times?..."
*"HOW ABOUT THOSE FUCKING RED DEVILS?!?!?!"*
you know whats funny there is a ghosts and goblins reference in Project X Zone in which some characters have this conversation. "This place is of the ghouls and ghosts" "It feels like so many meaningless deaths" or something like that lol.
This video has almost a million views, I'm gonna watch it on repeat over and over again until you get there johny
I actually like the randomness factor of the enemy re-spawns. Sure, it makes the game cheap at times, however it adds replay value for me. It means every time you complete a level you should feel accomplished, because you completed a level design that was mostly distinct with it's own encounters.
19:09 Foreshadowing Ecco the Dolphin.
Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, and Golden Axe were the first two games I've ever played. I had to close this review at 13 minutes because it looks even better then how I remembered it. I thank the you from four years ago for reminding this game exists.
I swear I'm the only one who grew up to love Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts. Like I was 4 when I first played it and while I was bad it still felt fair with what you've said in the review. I love it as much as Super Mario World, I played those 2 the MOST growing up and have become my 2 all-time favorite games.
The game may be a poorly age coin eater but hey the main theme is bumping
Am I the only one who thought the Tails Doll kinda looked feminine?
Tails looks feminine, so that is probably why
+RobotSnake Tails was originally supposed to be female.
+ShortFingeredShreder That explains the Tails rule 63 hentai
+Silent Insanity Yeah.
+ShortFingeredShreder really?
I am so glad the arcade version of Ghosts 'N Goblins didn't have the BS selective weapon immunity for the bosses like the NES version did.
Kinda hope you tackle 'Resurrection' and maybe even the original Ghouls 'N Ghosts someday. Though I'm sure you're quite busy with your current schedule of marathons and I'm still looking forward to more of your Metroid marathon as of this post. ^___^
The nice thing about the bracelet is that it kills things much quicker. The red devils die in two hits from the thing.
Edit: Upon further inspection I learned the bracelet also works similar to a shotgun. The closer your target is, the more damage the blast does.
Fuck me, it's been 3 years already.
Axelbrine I know it's crazy
Axelbrine tempus fugit- time flies
This video will always hold a special place in my heart, it was kinda like the last SGB review, Johnny with his new cooler style taking on an old nemesis one last time, ultimately putting the SGB reviews to rest. Goodbye Tails Doll, you sadistic fuck
Loved the "long time no see" reference.
This is definitely my favorite Johnny Review
2:31, so johnny is a fine cheese?
Yal Rathol or a fine wine
Love the end john
OH MY GERD! I never noticed that _wink_ Johnny made @ 12:46! -- And I've watched this video, like, 5 times! :O
John, you absolutely NEED to do a crossover with Linkara. Lord Vice teaming up with Tails Doll has to happen. Plus, I just wanna see 2 of my favourite reviewers team-up
