Retro Arena: Super Ghouls N Ghosts vs Super Castlevania IV · 9:00pm Jan 1st, 2019
Happy New Years to everyone and it's been a good year for Retro Gamer Junction. Thanks for supporting this site as all of you helped us reach a new area. I will admit the content has slowed down a little by the end of this year. With studying for the exam in IT and trying to put together my sister site called Sacred Realm Tower has made this hard for me to keep up. However, in 2019 I will try making Retro Gamer Junction even better. I do have some ideas to bring in for Modern Gaming like a section for Indy games. Even a section dedicated to video games in media such as movies, cartoons, live action shows and comics is being considered. Maybe an area for reviewing old game magazines like Nintendo Power isn't such a bad idea.
For our last article of the year, I have a new edition of Retro Arena. It has been nearly four months since posting my last one. For this edition, I'm putting Capcom's Super Ghouls N Ghosts against Konami's Super Castlevania IV for the Super NES. Both GNG and Castlevania are ordinarily the front-runners for 2D side scrolling platformers back then. In fact, both entries came out during the Super NES' launch window. That apparently was the only time I ever saw a console get so many quality titles during the first six months. On top of that both games had tremendous development placed into each one. Konami was really smart to make SCIV one of their first to release on the new console. I wouldn't be surprised if SCIV along with Final Fantasy IV and Super Mario World encouraged kids to buy a Super NES. While SGNG has Capcom return to the old arcade style for its ghoul busting platformer. So, which one will be slayed before the night is over?
