1. This site is dominated by Westerners, and everyone had a SFC, and no one had a PC-E.
2. Super gets the mad nostalgia then.
3. Ten times the amount of people have played Super vs. Rondo.

Not a complex question.

The PCE-CD is a pretty damn weird console. Rondo has amazing looking detailed sprites, but then the rest of the stages look something akin to what the Master System can produce. SFC in turn can produce sprites as good, but also just as detailed stages. So the SFC is overall more consistent.

Nothing wrong with liking drac x better, as long as you don't shitpost saying rondo sucks.

Both games can be seen as a response to Castlevania limitations as a rigid linear platformer. Castlevania IV was an attempt to modernize the series by actually changing and upgrading the linear formula and rigid mechanics to a more fluid and sophisticated platforming action. In contrast, Rondo is a strictly traditional Castlevania game which focused on aesthetic and style changes as means to freshen up the franchise while retaining core mechanics.

It's funny because I think Igarashi became aware this was not enough and would go on to focus on an alternate level design for SOTN: a different solution for the same problem.

>> No.5842505

>>5842332
>Rondo is a strictly traditional Castlevania
Rondo has many significant changes that distance it from traditional Castlevania, starting from no upgrade whip, no numeral rank, you can jump while climbing stairs. Really the only "traditional castlevania" element it has that IV doesn't is the it doesn't have diagonal whipping, but in turn has item crash, backflip, moonwalk. Not to mention level design is very different to what was usually on previous CV games.

As someone who never played a Castlevania game before HoD, and has no nostalgia for any of the 16bit games, allow me to say that SCIV, Bloodlines, and Rondo all feel great, look great, and have great levels. Top-tier games for their systems. Drac-X is also great, but strict.
I can't take anyone serious who dislikes any of these games. I actually like SotN more, but I also understand people's dislike for it. With the 4th gen games, I cannot understand dislike for them.

PC Engine didn't have parallax as a hardware feature

it's palette was also a graphical bottleneck. It could show over 400 colors on screen but the palette was the same size as the Genesis, so at most you'd maybe get 80-90 colors while SNES could easily do 200 at once

CD allowed more storage but it didn't improve the graphical potential for the most part. Hucards were usually fucking tiny, and games like Air Zonk and Samurai Ghost made the best of that damn 4 megabits

>>5840916
Rondo lacks the 8 direction whipping. Had it had that it would probably be the best one. Although a part of me wonders if people also prefer Simon to Richter. It is close though because sometimes I want to just say that Rondo is better. Bloodlines is good to.

When I was coming up and the system was current it was ALWAYS called “Super Nintendo” and ALWAYS written “SNES” in all caps to denote it being initialized. I have NEVER, not even once, encountered a person who had real life experience with the console in its lifespan, that said “suhness.”

Actual truth right here. These revisionist jacklegs always want to rename stuff and pretend the old names don’t exist. Like shooters, for instance. These babies called them “shmups.” The magazines used to call them shooters or shoot-em-ups. IRL people said shooter or shooting game. No one ever said “shmup.” Imagine actually using that term in front of real people in the real world. Just imagine the kind of degenerate who would straight faced say “shmups on suhness” in public. That’s who we’re arguing with here.
