Is there a more consistent retro series out there? There are a fuckton of Castlevania games, hell, there were instances when Konami would release multiple entries over the span of a year but all of them are good

Probably like Mario or something? Castlevania has a good amount of just shit games in it even with just sticking to retro.

[Anonymous No.6653814]

>>6653809
Yeah only Mario and Metroid come close but there are only 3 retro Metroid games so it's not that hard to stay good

These are both great games, what’s wrong with you two? I expected to see someone shitting on the post-Igarashi Castlevanias, not two of the basedest early ones.

[Anonymous No.6653829]

Metroid. There are no bad 2d Metroid games.

[Anonymous No.6653830]

Haunted Castle, Castlevania Adventure and Castlevania Legends, Castlevania 64 and Castlevania Legacy Of Darkness all exist though.

Isn't Metroid 2 considered bad? Or has opinion of that shifted with the remake coming out and the site wide OLD GOOD, NEW BAD effect in place

Was it ever? It's one of the best, if not the best, GB games

[Anonymous No.6653841]

>>6653835
Not really. It feels slower and has no map due to hardware constraints, but I feel the game is designed around that very well.

[Anonymous No.6653854]

>>6653841
Also it would be good if Samus didn't occupy half of the screen. I understand that she is a big girl but still

Well, it's all subjective of course, but my problem with Castlevania

2 is that all the little annoying things ruin it to the point that you wish you just playing another Castlevania game.

The trilogy released for the classic retro handheld GBA represent the best of the metroidvanias. For classicvania I still like the original FDS/NES game best.

Wazzat? Not quite retro, but I had a really rather bad Castlevania game on an old flip phone back in like 2001 or so. I also had a fantastically good BurgerTime game. Man, that BT game was one of the best. Does anyone know of any BT games, even non-retro ones, that just build on the original formula? You know, like Pac-Man Champion Edition, only Burger Time instead of Pac-Man? I'd really like to make giant hamburgers with my feet while I run away from hotdogs in an updated form.

[Anonymous No.6657057]

I had no interest in Ritual of the night and still kind of dont. If you yearn for the days of classic Castlevania I highly suggest playing Curse of the Moon 1 and 2. They are fucking amazing all around. Could be a little harder but I'm an absolute masochists and zoomers would be fucking trash at this game.

>metroid 1
innovative for the time, but shit to play now. The controls are mediocre, the game is laggy as fuck, and the environments are all full of copy paste rooms which makes it impossible to navigate without autism. Decent but barely good
>metroid 2
havent even played it, but its gay
>super metroid
the only good one, and even then its not perfect. This is literally the only 2D metroid game with good physics and if you disagree you're flat out retarded
>fusion
barely even a metroid game, but its still fun i guess.
>Zero mission
boring as shit, the artstyle is lame as fuck and its too easy. Plus the controls are stiff as fuck and samus has no momentum. Almost all of the sequence breaking is based on knowledge, not skill (break this completely arbitrary block to skip shit)
>metroid samus returns
unfaithful remake which rapes the atmosphere of metroid 2, has about 5 different enemies in the entire game, and gets boring under half of the way through. Autistic faggots who care about story in metroid games hate the ridley fight, but it's the best part of the entire game. If theres anything this game gets right its boss fights, and not much else.

[Anonymous No.6658026]

2 has good atmosphere, but I agree. The level design and enemies are the worst of the 2dvanias, the difficulty's derived from trying to figure out where to go.

CV64 doesn't get enough love, excellent setting best music on N64 after Crusin' USA but ZOOT came out 2 months before it and basically perfected camera controls on N64

Curse Of The Moon 2 is harder and it just got updated with a new hard mode which is absolutely bullshit, new "fuck you" mean enemy placement everywhere + respawning enemies + lose one character = lose them all

it's trash. You'll love it.

I'm making a fan game and at this point I'm trying to upgrade the art to an acceptable level. How's it looking so far? I still need to add the parallax backgrounds and more objects and details.

[Anonymous No.6659640]

For me, pic related is the best metroidvania. For classicvania I still return to the FDS/NES original. It’s the only NES game I can consistently 1cc.

it looks even worse than the last time i saw it
why the shit did you add bloom to this?
also, pick a resolution and stick to it, the random pixel densities make it look cheap as hell
also that ceiling is not straight
not trying to mean or anything, honest thoughts

[Anonymous No.6659837]

>>6659754
That's okay, it's good to know where one's mistakes are at. Enemies and main character use the same resolution. Tile pixels all use 32x32. except the 64x64 floor pixel. I am going to need to find a way to make the transition between tile set and characters smoother. I lurk in these threads to learn how to make everything fit together. Castlevanias had always had really beautiful sprites and music. It's gonna take time to reach this level, but we'll get there.

[Anonymous No.6660519]

>>6656997
Yeah, that's what I was saying. So Legacy of Darkness is the N64 one? Never played it. Heard it was bad. Is it not?

>>6657123
If you never played a Metroid game, you shoulda just kept quiet.
While not retro, let's talk about the other 2D 'troids: I never played Samus Returns but I was all about AM2R, even though I didn't care for the original all that much.
I disliked Fusion immensely. I hate being barred from exploration seemingly arbitrarily and I have a major psychotic fucking hatred of cut scenes. As usual, story-shit ruined a classic gaming series. See also Zelda, Castlevania, Mario, Sonic and literally everything else older than you.
Zero Mission was a fair balance of Old Gaming and New Gaming. While I dgaf about the story parts, at least I don't have to mash A to make it stfu and let me shoot some novas and wavers.

I played a tiny bit of Metroid 2 actually but couldn’t get into it. I was being needlessly harsh for (you)s, but those are pretty much my opinions. ZM isn’t an awful game but i really can’t bother myself to play it anymore, the movement is just so lame. I really don’t get why the downgraded the mobility so much after super Metroid, such a shitty decision.
