The first Castlevania and Symphony of the Night are up there with my favorite games.

There's no point in comparing the two styles, as they are designed to meet different objectives (if that makes sense), and both of them are masterpieces within their own intended style of gameplay. With that said, I enjoy Symphony of the Night more.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 22 00:04:05 2016 No.3444137 >>3444124 The first game feels a little stiffer than Rondo and you don't have backflips or item crashes, but it's not too different.

>>3444182
It's on the Wii virtual console as well as in a PSP game called "Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles." Or you could just emulate it.

The western version of CV3 was made a good deal more difficult, as enemies deal damage based on the level you're in instead of what kind of enemy it is. For example, bats do little damage throughout the entirety of Akumajou Densenstu, while in CV 3 they do little damage in level 1 and by the final level do 1/4 of your health.

Balance changes aside, the music also had to be changed (IIRC the NES didn't allow for additional music channels beyond the standard 5).

If you liked the original most of the Classicvanias are worth playing. Your preferences may vary.

III/Akumajou Densetsu, IV, Rondo of Blood, X68000/Chronicles, Bloodlines, Belmont's Revenge, and ReBirth are all worth checking out at least once.

Except for the third one. I made it to Alucard. Also the only metroidvania I've played was Dawn of Sorrow. Ees pretty nice, however the challenge is almost completely gone. I always went for the oversized sword. But it makes me excited to try out Harmony of Despair and just say screw it to the other metroidvanias.

The Japanese version is the same, but with slightly lower difficulty, slightly better music quality, a few additional visual effects, and Grant throws knives (which actually makes him useful).

Otherwise the same thing. If you can't just play the Japanese version in an emulator then the American version is well worth owning.

It sucks that this autistic shitposter ruined castlevania threads on /vr/, but on the other hand we may have exhausted all discussion about Castlevania already.

I've been a Vaniafag since it's inception. Here's some non descriptive ratings for you.

1. Classic near perfect game
2. Great game. Heavily flawed
3. Probably the best of the NES versions

Adventure: Good. but Im not a big fan of handhelds.

IV: A good callback to the NES games. Solid.
X: Hated the way Richter walked
Symph: Legendary game. Fun as fuck.
64: Fun as a Horror game. Fuck all controls

Where?
>>3444005 mentioned IV, and he certainly didn't disregard the other games.
Actually it's been a while since we've talked about IV, since australia-kun forbid the whole board to talk about it.

>>3450165
All Castlevanias "feel" different from the first, original game. Ever since Simon's Quest, the formula has been changing and mutating.
IV still feels like a Castlevania game (yes, even with the multi-whip! fight me).
The real change started with SOTN.

lament is probably the best of the 3d ones, imo. good fuckng music, decent gameplay

it feels more like dmc than castlevania, but whatever. at least it wasn't god of war, and it was a little hard

I unironically think it's one of the ones with the best level design. the lab level is maybe GOAT in the series, and shows what they'd be capable of doing if they competently designed a new classicvania

the sound design is pretty bad though

Not the anon who originally posted it, but have downloaded and started playing. It's a totally different game. Apparently started life as a C2 remake for the Spectrum, but eventually became its own thing, and it's very, very good so far.

It's got the free roaming of C2 and the town, but totally different world, dungeons and no annoying day/night stuff.

Nobody falls for that old bait anymore on CV threads. People know he's there shitposting, but nobody gets into arguments with him anymore.
Again, I think that Amiga shitposting thread is more likely just someone who wanted to troll europeans, maybe Australia-kun among them. Most of the discussion on that thread is european vs american computers.

I really liked HoD. it might have its flaws but I think the other metroidvanias have far less content and you get 2 whole castles to explore. you'll need to consult a walkthrough at one point though because it was kinda obscure triggering a certain event after a boss fight which was mostly forgettable. the goal was simply to reach other areas of castle b or something.

CotM is okay but was short.
Cards and Magic Book systems were pretty cool.

I like that they forced you to use other movement options until you got the double jump and it turned into all the other vanias

they really need to rethink their gameplay design. or would, if konami wasn't focused on pachinko and vegas machines

>>3452364
they're all empty and bland imo. cotm is bigger and emptier, but they seemed to at least care about platforming. hod is just straight corridors filled with enemies.
