Apparently Firebrand’s dimension, the Ghoul Realm, originally was invaded by some immigrant aliens looking for work and he has to rise to the challenge of ex-communicating the illegal immigrants or whosits by finding a bunch of magical crests. Of course, when you’re a demon or a gargoyle, popularity means everyone wants to kill you. Firebrand has wings and breathes fire, which means he’s pretty popular. You play Firebrand, a Casper the Friendly Ghost-esque protagonist, except he’s actually cool, kinda evil and doesn’t suck like Casper (Ok, so he’s really nothing like Casper, but honestly Casper is such a dumb character). The setting in these games is quite exciting and gothic. The action utilized your ability as a gargoyle to glide/float and cling to walls while navigating dark environments environments which makes the game simultaneously endearing and romantic.

They are rather challenging action-adventure games (somewhat like Zelda II) and I remember being a bit frustrated by them as a kid, although enjoying them very much. All of these games have fantastic soundtracks and I will follow up eventually with something about each one. It’s the third game in the Gargoyle’s Quest franchise, which began on Game Boy and NES with Gargoyle’s Quest 1 & 2 respectively. But no time to waste dry those tears and read on, lest ye be bored as all hell…įor the last week I have been rocking out to the soundtrack of Demon’s Crest, which was released in 1994 by Capcom for the Super Nintendo (SNES). Nothing landed.Things have been slow ‘coz I have been rather busy (and even out-of-town) for the past week. No, we pitched a lot of things to Capcom and Konami over the years. They said the SNES version didn't sell enough. Little Known Fact: We pitched a GBA port of Demon's Crest to Capcom back in the day. But much like Demon’s Crest, talks did not progress too far. Watsham also said that Renegade Kid “pitched a lot of things” to Capcom as well as Konami. Nothing ever materialized from those early discussions though, as low sales of the SNES version didn’t warrant a port to the handheld.

Yesterday, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared on Twitter that the company once pitched a Game Boy Advance port of Demon’s Crest to Capcom. Our pitch to port Ninja Five-O from GBA to DS as a 2.5D beast! /ASmH1L41eC Update: Another tidbit of history from Renegade Kid – a port of Nina Five-O from GBA to DS.Īnother blast from the past.
