M2 rocks but their Konami collections are their weakest efforts which I'll assume Konami is to blame. I'm assuming they were given a 5 hour window to make each collection.

Castlevania is a bit funny given there's two very different types of the game that share the same aesthetics and sometimes core gameplay style (and sprites); the old-school platformers like Castlevania 1-IV, and the latter half of 'Metroidvania' types like Symphony of the Night.

The GBA collection is very good but u was surprised how bare bones the visual options were. Also I'm so tired of Zl and Zr being the menu buttons instead of L and R and not being able to remap the menu buttons. These games also have a ton of unlockable extra modes that should have let you start with.

I've beaten the first two games on the Castlevania collection, and just started on Aria. I thought I'd played it back in the day, but it turns out all my memories are of Order of Ecclesia. What a great trilogy of games these are. The rewind function pretty much smooths out all the kaizo bullshit on the Circle of the moon bosses. Harmony is needlessly awkward to traverse, but its a fairly meaty game with a solid difficulty curve.

Yeah I will champion CotM on the internet but nobody should have to play that game 4 times to get all the modes. Also I wish there was a Hugh mode or something. In Dracula X Chronicles they were able to add a new Maria mode to SotN so what the heck man.

I've had some nuisance bits here-and-there, but the game at its core is rock-solid.

I played 2 hours of Disco Elysium last night. I got yelled at by a kid, threw up, refused a bribe, then my guy died from sitting in an uncomfortable chair. Also I think I started down the path to militant feminism.

Looking it up, this secret Saturn SotN area is pretty lame anyway. 4 flat rooms. I guess seeing greenery and that freaky tree-trunk Kirby enemy is cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lADAa9ouVlM

The new tracks they composed for the Saturn version are pretty nice though. That new Castlevania soundtrack box Konami's putting out will have them and I'm stoked for that.

Mega64 posted:Wasn't Maria mode on the Saturn version of SotN? Maria in DXC plays like Rondo Maria, and the boss fight was changed to reflect that. Saturn Maria just punched everything into oblivion. The Saturn exclusive areas are kinda crap, sadly. They're "fully realized" in that the beta-style rooms now flesh out into full areas, but the areas are so tacked on that the inclusion of Bloody Tears isn't even good fanservice.

For the hell of it I checked out some unboxing videos on YouTube of the ESRB version and there's quite a number of differences--to the point that if you're still interested in a Special Edition and haven't found one yet, I'd considering importing it. Just to add to this, the AU(EU?) version actually has both cases but is otherwise identical to the ESRB version.

I told myself I wouldn't play Dread until I finally beat Samus Returns, but I feel like I've been playing for a hundred hours and when I look at my save it says 15% so I must just chalk this one up as a loss and move on. The game's not fun, I just feel like it's dragging and I'm not a huge fan of how many huge empty rooms there are that I feel compelled to spiderball all the way around.

Samus returns is a bit hard on the hands thanks to the cramped controls. It’s fun but you really should enjoy Dread guilt-free.
