3 for NES I guess. Challenging yet comfy

If I may add another point of discussion: would the series have survived the 90s without the gameplay turn that SotN introduced?

>>6677993
>Dracula X
>god tier
I think you should put that in the nostalgia tier if you rated it that high

>>6677972
>Castlevania 4 that low
have sex

>>6677961
Same here
>>6677993
Switch Rondo of Blood and Dracula X

>>6677961
Either Bloodlines or Rondo of Blood

>>6678007
>>6678102
DX has the power of the key

>>6678262

>>6677961
This is just another fucking stealth GBA thread. How many of these did you fucking make you autist?

>>6678262
As well as fun moves you can pull like this

>>6678272
Or this

>>6678269
What are you even talking about you maniac?

>>6678274
And moonwalk that's actually useful

>>6678276
The OP picture is a GBA game. There are like two dozen GBA or GameCube threads active on the board right now. This autist does this every night.

>>6678287
There weren’t any GameCube or gameboy advance threads any other night this week. Are you sure you aren’t the one posting them? Maybe to make it seem like the boogeyman you’re afraid of is real?

>>6678294
No he’s right, unless you are that autist

>>6678280
Also special mention to the Skeleton Dance

>>6678298
Okay well tell “him” that “he” is probably the one “posting the threads” and that it’s patently obvious by “his” “behavior”

The only problem with DX is that people suck at it and it's misunderstood game

Random example: the only boss FAQ out there claims the Minotaur is immune to the knife

>>6678307
Go to the catalog right now and look how many gba GC and ps2 threads are up

>>6678315
Why? So I can look at your handiwork?

>>6678313
The more you post, the more it’s obvious you have nostalgia for it

Another awesome move is using the Item Crash invicibility frames to avoid getting hit


>>6678317
I only got into it a couple of months ago

>>6678316
Ok, so it definitely is you then, you can fuck right off faggot

Okay I'm sorry for calling this out for being a stealth GBA thread, if it actually inspires discussion then whatever it's fine enough with me
So please stop talking about this shit and go back to Castlevania

>>6678323
You tell yourself whatever makes you feel better anon, but it’s very suspicious that you seem to be posting in all of those threads to “complain” about the mods not deleting them.

My top three is IV, then III, then Rondo, both gameplay and enjoyment-wise. Rondo is a bit weak on the level design side, but it has more content than these two.
I don't like Dracula X, and don't know why everyone spergs over it so much. Levels are nice, but the bat boss is cancer, it looks like shit, sounds like shit, especially after Rondo.

>>6678397
>the bat boss is cancer
But why the bat boss of all things? Dracula X Bosses are all ok except for Dracula himself. Bullshit artificial difficulty

>>6678407
I don't understand how the thing works, I just whip it until it's dead. And the room with the pikemen is hell.
>dick suckula
Yeah, somehow forgot about that. There's a romhack that removes the pits.

Also, the game doesn't pause when you end the level, what the fuck?

>>6678397
What's wrong about it?

>>6678432
Maybe I'm rarted, can't predict its movements.

>>6678407
Dracula is a pushover if you use the axe. Both forms, but the 2nd one specifically.

Now though, here is the thing, in DX, just like in Rondo, the number of subweapons you can throw at once depends on the total number of hearts you have, but DX is less leniant about it than Rondo. In Rondo you can throw 3 subweapons at once if you have more than 30 hearts, but in DX it's more than 50.

And, if you die, you're given "only" about 65 hearts before the boss iirc; meaning that if you want to be able to throw 3 axe at once against the 2nd form, you need NOT to use it against the first form which can be a drag. It's fine to use against both forms however if you didn't die through the entire level.

>>6678436
The direction and movement of the small bats depends on where you are in relation to the big bat when you hit it. This can lead to some fuckery if you're in the air when it happens, but it's also easily exploitable.

>>6678442
I just stand on the middle platform and chuck crosses until he dies

>>6678313
That's a boss?
Fucking babyvania

>>6678573
it's actually not as easy as it looks to achieve, the minotaur deflects the knife with its axe

>>6677961
None.

LOS/SOTN/JUDGEMENT > CLASSICVANIA

>>6678587
>JUDGEMENT
what the fuck

>>6679632
Why the fuck did they choose Takeshi Obata as an artist? D.Gray-Man's Katsura Hoshino would be perfect for modern Castlevania.

>>6678262
Everything that DX did right Rondo did it better.

>>6679667
Obata is the only good thing about that game.

>>6677961
Yeah, I'm with you. Original has that little something

Rondo, the music and presentation are cool, and it plays like you’d expect a Castlevania to, with the thought out enemy placement and so on.

Tempted to go with either Rondo of Blood, or Dracula's Curse. Probably the Japanese version for the latter, I really like the screams on Dracula's second phase in the American release but they messed up the game's balance by screwing with the characters and damage dealt.
