Go ahead and shadowdrop this you COWARDS.

Map and stat screens down the right side of the gameplay window. Thumbstick inputs for the touchscreen gimmick stuff in Dawn of Sorrow.

There's almost nothing in this that you can't get out of just plugging these roms into MelonDS. Hell, the Definitive Edition patch for Dawn of Sorrow is better, removing the touchscreen elements and anime portraits.

Another Konami L, smh.

Is it time for me to become Castlevania treatbrained now? Will see makima-think

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, absolutely fucking not. Not these ones anyway.

retvrn

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Oh, gotcha. Any advice on where to start if I did?

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Castlevania 1. There is no other correct way ✨

Other cool and good games are III, Rondo of Blood, Belmont's Revenge and Bloodlines.

Will do! Guess this means I might finally install EmuDeck, once I clear the next few games from my backlog. Thanks!

This is the first time I've seen the NES games recommended ahead of Symphony of the Night.

Ashinadash and Magi usually have great gaming opinions, and when their takes go against the grain they usually align with my against the grain takes, so I trust it. Will find out either way!

I am on castlevania 1 team as well. All 3 NES castlevania games slap.

I like the metroidvania ones, Aria of Sorrow is probably the best of that bunch

ClassicVania > IgaVania any day, but I know people like the metroidvanias, I like circle of the moon on gba too but I prefer the classic style more because of the difficulty, IgaVanias lack that imo

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I am mega Metroidvania brained, but I won't knock the classics until I try them. Thanks!

[–] magi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Understandable, I just prefer how tight the games played originally but I did give them all a chance, and I've beaten every IgaVania, have fun when you play them ^^

Thanks, will do! kirby-wave
