No, they don't. They begin learning English very early on in primary school as a second language. To suggest that Europeans learn English before the native tongue of their parents and the country they're actually born into is completely retarded.

They aren't, but another poster already corrected you so whatever.

Of the ones that are actually worth playing: GNG Resurrection > Ghouls > Super Ghouls.

I'm not including the original arcade game because I just don't find it very enjoyable. It's a very messy game from 1985 that came out a few days before the original Super Mario Bros. Arthur's movement is shit, there's an odd delay to crouching, and several enemies and obstacles really require you to fuck around with the game in very un-fun ways just to progress. I've beaten both loops once and I'm interested in doing it again.

Ghouls n' Ghosts is superior in every regard, and for beginners I'd highly recommend the Mega Drive port programmed by Yuji Naka. It has great graphics and sound and very forgiving checkpoints. Super GNG is a quality game but the auto-scroller stages are bad and I'm not really sure why they removed the vertical aiming. Ultimate GNG isn't great and the game being 30fps just feels like complete shit for an action platformer.

The best spinoffs are Maximo 1 and Demon's Crest.
