Ghosts ‘n Goblins hits the 3DS Virtual Console today, and to celebrate, Capcom offered to send a shot glass to the first person to beat the notoriously difficult platformer – and really beat it, not the “tricked by Satan” ending. Although it hasn’t yet been verified, it looks like somebody has already managed it, which even with plenty of practice on the NES original is almost incredible.

Capcom has found a new home for NES classic Ghost ‘n Goblins, which fell off the Wii Virtual Console in early 2011. The incredibly challenging platformer is on its way to the 3DS eShop for an October 25 release, where it will humble a whole new generation of would-be gamers and probably most of the ones it humbled the first time, too. No details on pricing as yet, but what price can you put on a game that strips you to your underoos every hit? Exactly.

Thanks, Joystiq.
