Nope. Sure, you can backtrack in the MSX game (you can also do this in RoB), but it doesn't have a seamless world, thus it's not a Metroid-like. Go play it in openMSX sometime, it's quite fun and challenging.

[Anonymous No.4099867]

>>4099861
I played it, it's not a Metroid clone, but it's not a classicvania either, it doesn't even have scrolling.
It has the same gameplay as CV1, but the design and progression is more focused on exploration (hence tansaku), and finding the key to advance.
And yeah Rondo is like the missing link betwen classic and metroidvania. It's more classicvania than metroidvania, but it has more exploration elements than any other classicvania game.

>but the overall game design is radically different.
Not really. The emphasis is still on killing bosses and platforming, it's just they added another objective to the Castlevania formula, which is obtaining a key to unlock the door and clear the block. The fact that it still has stage-based progression means it's not a true adventurekino.

[Anonymous No.4099896]

>>4099882
SOTN also has an emphasis on killing bosses though.
I'll give you the platforming I guess, but it was the first time in the series where you could fall down a pit and not die and instead go to a screen below.
MSXvania is a weird game, not bad, but I would never say it's better than the original. Scrolling is a huge factor when you play side-scrollers.

[Anonymous No.4099931]

>>4099795
I feel like one of the only people on earth who has always unironically liked Simon's Quest as one of my favorite CV games and was actually one of my favorite NES games.

I rarely ended up finishing normal platformers that didn't have save features like CV1. I would have fun initially, but over time I would get so the first couple of levels were really easy from repetition and I would dread having to replay them every time I started a game before getting to the parts I hadn't played the heck out of yet.

Since there are very few games I liked enough to keep going in that manner I usually just moved onto something else. But Simon's Quest, even though it wasn't the most amazing in how it played, felt like a huge adventure I chipped away at each time I picked it up and that was awesome to me.

I would say killing bosses took a backseat to solving puzzles. IGAvania relies more on puzzles than action, unlike MSXvania.

>MSXvania is a weird game, not bad, but I would never say it's better than the original. Scrolling is a huge factor when you play side-scrollers.
Despite no scrolling, which would've been choppy on the MSX, each room is designed more intricately than any in the NES original.

Because of how unique it is, that makes it one of my all-time favourites in the series. It's also the best Konami MSX game overall.

[Anonymous No.4099964]

>>4099946
>I would say killing bosses took a backseat to solving puzzles.
It's not like bosses are particularly the main object in the original, most of the game is about the stages themselves.
Both kind of games have bosses.
>each room is designed more intricately than any in the NES original.
It's hard to compare both games' level design (despite being, at first sight, identical or very similar), because CV is designed with momentum in mind. You know, like in the last part of stage 3 where you should go straight without stopping at any moment, can't have that sort of gameplay on MSX so the level design changes make sense.

>Because of how unique it is, that makes it one of my all-time favourites in the series. It's also the best Konami MSX game overall.
I don't really feel it's unique, it's like Castlevania with a PC-like level design where you need to find keys to advance, many games like that on PC (and even on consoles, but most originated on PC).
I like other MSX games better (like Firebird) but I can't hate on a Castlevania game, MSXvania is OK. Much better than all the ports the west tried to do of the original on C64, DOS and Amiga.

X68K is on PS1 (the most normie console ever, at least retro-wise), it's hardly a hipster choice unless it's a low-level hipster. It's even on PSN.
MSX Vampire Killer is a bit more hipster, but not much, since it was released in the west, and is still a well known game among MSX enthusiasts (which many are normies, just old normies).
Actual hipster Castlevania would be something like Order of Shadows (not retro though).

Draxula X Chronicles contains SotN and RoB. You can unlock them by beating the main game (which is kind of shitty). So what I suggest is to download a save and load it with your emulator.
They are not remakes. Afaik RoB is pretty much a 1:1 port from the pc engine, while in SotN they rewrote some lines of dialogues and redubbed the game with actual dubbers.

[Anonymous No.4108000]

>>4107903
You don't have to beat the main game to unlock them. The original RoB and SotN are prizes you find in the main game on certain levels. If you use a guide to find them you can unlock them pretty easily.

i just think sotn is far too easy to be interesting. you have to handicap the shit out of yourself to make it fun

[Anonymous No.4108020]

>>4107903
>which is kind of shitty
You know, it's actually not bad at all. It's mostly the same as the original in terms of level design, but for example stage 5b is re-designed on the remake, and honestly much better than the one in the original.
It also has a more interesting Dracula fight with a new final form, and more secrets to find.
I find it hard to believe that people who like the original Rondo really hate the remake. Maybe it's because the original has these sweet 2D spriteworks, but in all honesty the models on the remake aren't bad, and the stages themselves can look even better than the original in some cases. The original has a lot of stages with very plain backgrounds, the remake adds a lot of detail and effects.
I also like the boss rush mode.
As for the original port of RoB on DXC, it plays flawlessly, but it has problems during some of the cutscenes with the audio, it's not much but it's like a second delayed. Anyway one problem Rondo has is that you can't skip cutscenes, once you've seen them enough times, you don't care anymore.
The resolution/aspect ratio of RoB here is also a bit different than on the PCE original, it's a bit broader so it looks a bit more stretched, it's not too bad though, it's like the resolution difference between the PS and Saturn versions of SOTN, Saturn one is a bit wider.
And lastly, it has a customizable soundtrack. So you don't like the new arrangements? Just use the original Rondo tracks, or mix it up with some SOTN tracks if you want. You can customize the entire soundtrack with any track from Rondo, remake or SOTN. But you have to unlock all the tracks first, they're hidden within the game, like the original RoB and SOTN.

It's a mixed bag, generally it's good and the sprites look awesome, but many of the backgrounds are really lazy.

It's good, but there's better designed CV games, Rondo has a lot of dead ends that always seemed weird to me. It's more exploration based though so I can forgive it.
>Best bosses in the series
Only some of them, not all. But yeah, bosses are one of Rondo's strong points.
>Banging soundtrack
You can say this about most Castlevania games
>Controls hit the perfect spot between being too loose and too tight
Probably you're right, Rondo's controls are really good, some people don't like that you can move in mid-air though, but I don't mind it. I like Castlevania 1's rigidness, but I don't think it's a must for Castlevania games.
>Great replay value due to multiple characters and a shitton of alternate paths
True, the remake on PSP has even more replay value and more hidden shit to find, but honestly I feel like all classicvanias have great replayability, I love playing 1, 4 and Chronicles for score. My only gripe with Rondo is that it doesn't have a 2nd loop, and the game doesn't re-start automatically when you beat the game, also unskipable cutscenes.

I love Rondo, on my top 5 Castlevanias, but I can understand how some people might not understand the praise it gets.

Don't think so, the last 4 or so levels on CV 4 are harder than anything on Rondo, and if by X you mean Dracula X on SNES, that's one of the hardest games in the series along with Chronicles and the NES titles. Bloodlines might be harder than Rondo, maybe.
The game is very forgiving with the platforming though, also, unlike CV1, you can change the direction you're facing while jumping, making you able to hit enemies coming from both sides while on-air.
The overall design of the game is pretty simple, remember you can whip diagonally too.

you're not fooling anyone.

Also, sure, there must be people that don't like IV. But none are as autistic as you are.
There is a difference between not liking a game, and hating it.

What's wrong with dissecting games that tend to get overrated by many people on the internet? Does someone having a different viewpoint from yours offend you or something?

Also, I don't even talk about IV that much, I was only responding because of the guy that thought a boss fight in IV was difficult.

Nothing, but when it becomes an obsession (like it is for you), it becomes bothersome. Also, adding "SNESbabies", "Nintendo zealots", etc at the end of your posts show your bias against Nintendo.
Slogra is hard, people who don't know his pattern by memory get fucked by him. You making a webm from an emulator doesn't really prove anything, I could make a wemb doing a 1cc on Haunted Castle, but I don't have the time or the 'tism.

Why do you assume I'm a Nintendo fanboy?
It's the other way around, why can't Anti-Nintendo fanboys argue about games without resorting to strawmanning everyone into "SNESbabbies" and the like?
I grew up with a Mega Drive, and only got a SNES as an adult.
If this was a discussion about 1st party Nintendo games, then it would be more understandable, but this is a Konami game. You're just hating it because it's on SNES.
If IV was on pc engine or Sharp X68K you'd probably like it, or at least not hate it with the passion you hate it now.

[Anonymous No.4120945]

Well, until you can prove any of those shitposts is actually him, I'm going to have to dismiss your case. It's not a secret that there's a janny with too much time on his hands who deletes anti-LGBT posts around here often, hence why people started using the monicker trannyjanny.

Nah, I would still fault it even on those platforms, for being too easy and full of poor design choices.

[Anonymous No.4120947]

>>4120938
This is the thing, everytime someone mentions Castlevania 4, you storm into the thread to tell everyone why they should hate it because it's easy (as if Bloodlines and Rondo weren't easy too, but you don't seem to mind those, you're fixated with 4 only).
It's the same old arguments you've been making over and over.
It's like, we get it, you don't like the game. Move on and accepts others do.
The fact you call anyone who doesn't hate Cv4 a "nintendofag" or whatever makes it all more obvious it's you, and the reason your posts get deleted (your posts don't get deleted because you have an unpopular opinion, it's because of your shitposty nature)

[Anonymous No.4120953]

>anti-LGBT posts around here often
i think mods delete shitposts, period.
I've never seen "anti-LGBt" posts deleted, in fact I see a lot of posts saying "this is gay", or "this is for faggots" (I myself use those), and never got my posts deleted, so I dunno.
Also, again, I doubt there's only one janitor.
And I never saw anyone say "trannyjanny" other than aus-kun, usually to complain when his shitposts get deleted when he shitposts, and it's never about Lgbt, it's usually castlevania and treasure.

[Anonymous No.4120956]

why did australia hate treasure again? it doesn't make sense, they're one of the best devs on megadrive, and he's a MD fanboy.

[Anonymous No.4120960]

>>4120947
It's not just shitposty nature, it's shitposty nature plus an opinion the janny doesn't like, and he can use "lol you're just a shitposter" as an excuse to delete your posts. Plenty of shitposts go undeleted around here as long as they don't target something that the janny cares about.

Maybe, but Australia-kun has been shitposting the same shit over and over. And over and over and over and over and over.
He's a lot more tame now though, but he's still going.
It's like, it's not just flamebait, it can also be considered spam.
And again I don't think it's just 1 janitor, and there's also the mods.

I could be wrong, that's why I said "iirc", but that's the only logical explanation I can think of. I seem to remember a thread about treasure where australia-kun (tomoko pics, nintendildo, etc flags to point it was him) was saying treasure was bad because nintendo fans overrated the n64 games. typical him.

if a game is too popular, it's a shitpost target.
if a game is too obscure/underrated, it will eventually also be a shitpost target.
the safest games are games that are middle-ground, like CV1, or Belmont's Revenge.

What's wrong with using savestates for practicing hard parts in games? Not that you'd need them for IV, you should get the hang of the Slogra fight quickly enough, and if you die, the game starts you off right at his area, anyways.

[Anonymous No.4121065]

>>4121049
anyone that needs savestates for super caslevania bros should have their hands cut off. it wouldn't affect their ability to play it at all.

[Anonymous No.4121067]

>>4121042
No, it really is that bad. On screenshots it looks almost okay (save for the funny-looking sprites), but when you actually play the game it's incredible - choppy scrolling, abysmal controls and hit detection, and probably the most unbelievable thing is that they managed to fuck up the music big time. The one thing Amiga has going for it, the sound, was completely screwed on Amigavania. It's like listening to a drunken man trying to play castlevania themes, all off-key and off-tempo.
I wonder how the development process for that game was, maybe they have them a few weeks to complete it or something, but still, it's weird that they decided to release a licensed game like Castlevania in that condition, especially because Amiga is capable of more, at least audio-wise.
It's also Konami's fault for not doing QA.

Trannyjanny probably came into power around the time we had that "what games let me kill trannies?", which probably triggered it into applying for the position.

[Anonymous No.4121350]

>>4121321
I don't get it, I make jokes about fags and trannies all the time and I don't get my posts deleted. And these threads where aus-kun calls out on the "trannyjanny" have nothing to do with fags or trannies, it's almost always castlevania.
The "janitor" (implying there's only one) deletes shitposts that get repeated over and over, like the ones aus-kun makes.
It's funny to see aus-kun always have the same reaction though. It's like someone who gets electrocuted after pressing a button, and then keeps pressing it over and over to see if next time he won't get the electroshock, but he does, and he complains, but he keeps pressing the button anyway.
