I love this game. Gatekeepers shit on it online because it isn't as hard as the other old-school Castlevanias but it's my favourite.

>Painfully easy, braindead easy, holy shit there are a dozen ways to break the game and they're not even that hard to stumble upon.
>Platforming aspect is very quickly made boring because you can turn into a bat and fly.
>Inverted Castle is a chore because the platforming is boring. Consider the Super Metroid Rotation hack and how interesting the platforming challenges are since you can't just fly around right off the bat. You have to use the tools you have and gain in interesting ways while in the same environment. SotN is just, fuck, the levels are so bland it just feels like an aesthetic change. The maps are not memorable.
>Have to beat the game to play as the fun modes
>Can chow down on health items and shit on a whim
>There are dingy RPG elements that just bloat the menus and barely matter at all
I have no clue why people rank it anywhere close to Super Metroid. Must be the graphics and music.

Don't get me wrong I really like the metroidvania style that sotn introuced to the series, but everything sotn does aria does it better. Sotn didn't really grasp my attention and I found it boring for the reasons listed above. The rpg elements are too much cluttered imo, the game is already easy, why would you need a familiar that does the job for you? And later in the game if you find the right weapon you get stupidly overpowered.
The inverted castle might be cool thing that makes you "wtf" for the first minutes but it's a very poor form of level design to recyle the same assets and sprites again. On the other hand the chaos realm in Aria is way better, cause it leaves you disoriented for the whole time you explore it and it's very well made because there is a little part of every zone you explored during the game.
Anyway this is the first time that someone finally analyze all my critics. Ty for writing that.

Meh, I still don't get why nintendo would make another remake when am2r was already a perfect game. Personally I don't like the graphic style that they choosed, expecially the 3d backgrounds. So probably I won't buy it.

Afaik they disabled diagonal aiming with
shoulders buttons, so there will probably be any assisted aiming.
