Description

"Capcom Generation 3" for the Sega Saturn is part of a celebratory anthology series released to commemorate Capcom's legacy in the video gaming industry. This third installment in the Capcom Generation series focuses on Capcom's illustrious "Ghost 'n Goblins" series, showcasing its rich heritage through a collection that includes "Ghosts 'n Goblins" (1985), "Ghouls 'n Ghosts" (1988), and "Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts" (1991). Players can delve into these quintessential action-platform games, navigating through perilous landscapes filled with demonic creatures in a quest to rescue the protagonist's beloved from the clutches of evil. The series is renowned for its challenging levels and iconic armor-clad hero, Arthur, whose adventures have been a defining part of Capcom's early success.

Releasing the anthology on the Sega Saturn allowed these classics to find a new home on a 32-bit console with enhanced graphics and sound, preserving their legacy for both new fans and nostalgic gamers. Each game retains its original gameplay and aesthetic, supplemented with some slight enhancements and the convenience of a save feature, which was a welcome addition given the original games' notorious difficulty. The collection also provides a rich compendium of extras, including artwork, history, and developer interviews, making it a valuable package for collectors and enthusiasts of Capcom's history. This compilation not only serves as a gateway into Capcom's pioneering work in the arcade era but also as a challenging testament to the timeless appeal of its game design.
