In a faraway kingdom in a land of legend, a mysterious plague of unknown origin has rapidly infected the population. Dubbed the "Red Plague", the evil nature of the phenomenon is unmistakable: the dead begin to rise from their graves, and demonic incarnations begin to appear.

I appreciate the attempt to bring more Ghosts and Goblins in everyones life, but if you advertise your game as a new iteration of GnG and promote it as hard as nails you have to appreciate the fact that the main challenge in Ghosts and Goblins wasn't (only) to get through the levels, but also to NOT pick up any other weapon than the knife for as long as possible. (This game gives the player the option to keep weapons and even switch between them.)

Nah, screw that. That was the worst mechanic of the game. Having only one good and viable weapon with the rest being trash and having to actively avoid them is just bad game design.

Being able to keep and switch weapons is a very welcome change IMO.

It's two different things. The problem is the balance between weapons - not the carry-a-single-weapon feature.
I actually think it's a much better option for that type of game to force the player to deal with the weapons that are randomly offered to them. It's adapting and making quick decisions depending on your knowledge of the game vs just "choosing".

Mostly useless weapons, terrible jumping, and a lazy way of extending the game by making you play through it twice for no real reason.

Yet it's still fun for some mysterious reason.

That's totally fine, as long as all of the weapons are useful in some way over the default like Metal Slug or Contra.

More power to those who enjoy it. Ghouls & Ghosts at least had more fun level design, much better weapons overall, and golden armor special attacks, but the OG G&G is something I only personally enjoy when I want to pretend I'm 7 and get to level 2 before giving up.

I have Final Vendetta coming, but I did not preorder this. I tried their Genesis games, and I wish them the best on this one.
