Capcom Announces Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection, Capcom Arcade Stadium for Switch

Ghosts ‘n Goblins is coming back to life on Nintendo Switch as Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection, Capcom announced during The Game Awards 2020. Capcom also announced Capcom Arcade Stadium, a collection of 30 classics, including Street Fighter 2, for Nintendo Switch.

Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is a reboot of the arcade-to-console game, retaining the classic, brutal platforming of the original with updated graphics and a storybook style. It’s scheduled for a February 25, 2021, release.
