The GBA having only 2 face buttons was such a colossal fuck up. It ended up botching the controls of so many games that would have otherwise been perfect if they had just managed to have the X and Y buttons.

This was my first CV game. I got the 2001 GBA launch promo preview thing from Nintendo Power. I loved the screenshots and card grid. I was so hyped to get it.Nowadays, it doesn't really hold up, mostly due to the castle just being a bunch of large hallways with similar geometry, and the wall jumps are shitty. Randomizers make it a little more tolerable, at least.Super Metroid is still the most tolerable 'vania to me
>>737649908It really is a contender for the worst Castlevania.Absolutely isn't, but it's certainly trying.The fact you can skip the Death fight is really cool though.
This and the one with the red MC were so shit to play. The GBA collection was carried so hard by Aria that it's not even funny.
>>737650187Final boss 2nd phase is also janky to the second phase they just let you skip straight into itIt's just a shitty game all around
>>737649948i didn't like cotm much at launchbut that's mostly because i couldn't see shit due to the gba screen
>>737650565Juste's game is fine, just really plain.
>>737650768i wasn't able to make out details in the game even playing it in direct sunlight until i got an SPstill, i really like this game. it's a good challenge, i like the cards, the castle is well-designed, and the music and art are good.i got it along with f-zero: maximum velocity and super mario advance. CotM and f-zero are terrific games, SMA was one of the few games i ever regretted purchasing for the GBA (which sucks because i really like mario 2)
>>737650774harmony of dissonance is complete assthe castle is empty zigzags or straight hallways, the progression barriers feel arbitrary and are presented too far down paths that require a lot of backtracking, the music is almost entirely awful, the castle design doesn't flow and the A+B gimmick is tired, and a lot of the graphics look like ass. what a disappointment it was after CotM. at least AoS got everything right.
Is it just me or does the difficulty suddenly jump out of nowhere when you get to that part of the castle with the bloody swords and marionettes?
>>737649908This entire game is just pure aids. Anyone defending this is delusional retard. This was the last Castlevania on my list after finishing all the others, and it was easily the worst experience of my life.
>>737649908Too stupid to learn something that should become second nature and a non issue 5 minutes in?
>>737651513the game has a few difficulty spikes.the bloody swords are the first major one.the zombie dragons are also notorious.depending on how you progress through the game, the underground waterway can also be extremely challenging if you don't have purify because of all the ice enemies.>>737651654it's ok, not everyone can have good taste
Castlevania is a series that has never had a good game yet people convince themselves it's brilliant. It's amazing.
>>737649908The run command sucks, but I figure that was from trying to fit new move unlocks on GBA buttons. There are plenty of worse things about it than the controls.
>>737649908play it with a keyboard then retard
>>737650380kek, he has the receipts
>>737653692okay, i'll take the bait. post your top 5
>>737649908Tied for best with PoRSorry you got filtered by the fact you can't just spam items like SotN to win
>>737655156This is the Castlevania equivalent of going "I don't know if the best movie is Transformers 4 or Wild Wild West."
>>737655293Are you implying PoR isn't at the very least a top 3 CV?
>>737649908>tap in the opposite direction than you want to run>immediately tap in the other direction>this counts as a double tap and now you're runningGit gutIt's not perfect, but I love it, and it's definitely better than HoD.
I just got the dominus collection since I never played the DS ones. Is there any way to make them a little less ass on a big screen? I know they were designed for a handheld but I feel like they're deck or switch only games at this point
>>737655293I don't watch children's movies or negroslop
>>737655660I meant to. Maybe I should've implied that it sucks ass and even people who loved Dawn and Order should skip it.
yeah it sucks, I emulated and made it double tap with a single l1/R1 press
>>737656083That's a pretty dumbass take, anon. Pretty retarded tbdesu. Do better and educate yourself
>DS Collection never
>>737656239Have you been in prison the past decade?
>>737649908>double tap to dashThis is fine.
