I remember getting the soul that let your move really fast in Dawn of Souls and thinking how awesome it'd be when I had it for NG+. They took it with the other movement souls but let me keep my Iron Golem soul....

The Japanese version of Castlevania 3 is a lot easier than the American version. So is the Japanese version of Castlevania 1, but that's just because the Famicom Disk System could write saves to the game disk.

I think i was playing the US version. I woke up thinking about it so clearly the game is sticking with me. What's the point of the wizard man. He got a fireball but I don't want to leave behind the badass whip

I was really close to buying a second copy of OoE today so I could have more save files. Hell I might go back and do it because there's a good chance that the copy I've had for nearly 8 years is bootleg.

Oh, cv1 had the damage scaling difference too? I didn't know that. But in addition to that crosses/lightning spells are a lot more common in Japanese cv3.

4 is among the top three CV games for me. Everything about it owns. Art style, music, gameplay. The control is perfect and it feels awesome as poo poo to have full control over the whip. I think the only flaw is that most of the subweapons are a little underpowered.

My biggest complaint with Castlevania 4 is that there's just too much of it, and it takes a while for it to get challenging. It makes it come across as much slower game than even the NES titles. It also suffers a little from being an SNES launch title, in that it shoehorns in screen rotation and mode 7 effects for no real reason except to show them off. I don't know how big a deal that really is, though.

I play it on emulatorand have a statestate at the start of the second loop. That's about where you want it to be.

It's still grindy, the level design still sucks and the few bosses are still boring but the game has a weird interesting charm to it and it at least makes it a fair experience.

bloodlines is up there with 3 and sotn as the best castlevania has to offer and imho? underrated as all heck also it has a bunch of old songs done with genesis sound chip so you get that sick bass and twang with the classics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijEPu2dH4mM

The dungeon is by far the worst level. So full of instant death mechanics. Don't even understand how people can not like it after slogging through CV1. I mean, its an early NES game, but it honestly looks an controls like hot garbage comparatively. The most honest shots at CV4 go after the 8 directional whip making the game too easy. The game can be forgiven for being long because it has a password save system.

CV1 wasn't too bad once I got used to it and I have been liking CV3 a lot, controls wise. The ability to swap characters made me realize how much care they put into balancing all the different encounters and what not, even though some of them are still annoying (specifically whenever you need to fight on stairs or something)

CV1 is my White Whale of gaming. By the time I get past Death I'm salty and start playing like poo poo so I have to stop. I'm too drat stubborn to use savestates.
