64 was well received though, and at worst only got average review scores back then.

Those are on Nintendo platforms. You're doing a bad job of falseflagging as a Sony fanboy.

Only according to c64fags.
SoTN is a work of art, nobody even remembers that shit game existed. Besides, how can you enjoy anything on the n64 when your controller is a literal cock. The n64 controller was designed for 3 arms? The n64 experience becomes much more tolerable when you emulate it and use a non gay autistic controller(such as the dualshock 1 or 2- designed with the human anatomy in mind). The n64 controller is a dildo used for your 4 game only multiplayer smash parties. Get over it nintrannies. The playstation has the best exclusives. Even crash bash is better than mario party. Not that you need to play a multiplayer game on the playstation anyway because all of the timeless singeplayer exclusives could be enjoyed forever- by yourself. Enjoy your 4 games nintranniez!

SOTN is revered by millions of people with a surface level understanding of retro gaming.
Appeals to the lowest common denominator.
Piss-easy difficulty so it doesn't offend casuals.
Lazy level design (straight hallway spanning the length of the castle, upside down mode, etc).
Brain-dead boss AI in in series known for excellent bosses.
On the other hand, Castlevania 64 in it's finished form as Legacy Of Darkness is easily the better game.
It's not for people too dumb to figure out how 3D N64 games work, so there's a bigger barrier of entry. But once you get past that, it's an incredible entry.

i played it recently. its actually pretty good. theres a couple parts where the camera is bad but its not even an issue most of the time. i definitely like the action adventure style more than the metroid style that all the games have been since SOTN.

I was one of those kids. Unless it was Pokemon on my Gameboy it had to be 3d or else it was old and gay, like you say. Now that I'm older I find early 3d very awkward and enjoy 2d more and more. Kids are dumb.

>I will never not have to defend CV64
I like SotN but CV64 is an underrated gem in its own right. It has so many highlights that far outweigh it's flaws, flaws which are mostly superficial. Best atmosphere, best music, tight 3D platforming, great enemies and bosses, big castle to explore with a mix between action and puzzle segments, different levels for different characters. A ton of people who don't like it probably never played it or brainlets that got filtered by the caste centre nitro.

Definitely. So much more memorable than SOTN too. I love those small details like being able to see the waning moon through the rose garden's skylight. A lot of stuff like that in the game, but I can't recall any of SOTN's identical rooms.

CV64 was always met with some criticism, but upon release it actually received positive reception. There was definitely no hate, mostly a 7.5 or 8 game.
Much like with DK64, it's in retrospect that it started to get actual hate or harsh criticism.
It's an actually decent 3D adventure/action game and as another anon said actually manages to feel like a classicvania in 3D, although some stages are more adventure-focused or even sort of survival horror-ish, some others are more linear and focused on platforming and action.
Personally, I enjoy it but it took me some time to get used to its controls. Once I learned how to dodge attacks (a sort of subtle mechanic that's never explained, at least not in-game) the game becomes much more manageable and fun. But as anon already said, it is probably a game that, nowadays, can mostly only be enjoyed by fans of Castlevania, or at least people who are very interested in early 3D action games.
One thing I can comment I love about it is the different outcomes in the game depending on what you do, especially the character Lenon, probably one of the most interesting item sales guys in any game I've played. Not just because of his particular appearance, but also because he's a hidden boss.
Dracula's true form and Death battles are bat shit insane, too.
