"Castlevania: Dracula X will be released on the Wii U Virtual Console on October 2nd Nintendo of America announced this morning. Following its release, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon will be available on October 9th."
If you’re a gamer “of a certain age”, you may vaguely remember the moment when games went from a grueling gauntlet requiring all your skill and concentration to tackle to a casual, checkpoint-containing, cruise control-encouraging walk in the park.
I beat Jurassic Park multiple times!
Jurassic Park had no save system, so I would leave the console running while I went to school, took breaks. It's not that it's hard, it's just tedious. But I was a Jurassic Park obsessed kid (around 13 when this hit), so I would obsessively scower ever inch of the maps (both 2D and 3D) until I had them memorized.
The Star Wars trilogy, I only beat w the cheat codes.
Sounds just like me. I mapped out the indoor areas on paper, leaving the SNES on for days at a time. But I never finished the game. I collected all the raptor eggs except one. So close !
oh god, I remember beating JP on SNES and like you said, it was all in one shot.
I dunno about this list though, I beat all the Star Wars games and while some levels were tough, it was easy to get powerups and extra lives and stuff. Maybe set to the hardest settings it was tough. I also beat Contra 3, loved that game to death.
with the exception of Jurassic Park and Prince of Persia, I've beaten every other one of those. It just takes practice and time. Something I had way more of when I was younger.
In honor of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's release, The Punished Backlog's Luke Vennall went back, played, and reviewed three games from a series that is a total newcomer to Smash: Castlevania.
The Castlevania series has increasingly been known for its Metroidvania style. So what are the best Castlevania games of that type?
Castlevania Lacarde Chronicles 2 just released on PC in May 2017 and is an incredible MetroidVania CV game. 10/10!!!
Is that a Metroidvania? Just from the name I'm almost inclined to think Classivania, haha.
Ori by far, the best most recent example of this type of side scrolling adventure game, I would love to see them make a Castlevania game, it would be amazing
Honestly, I think Konami would do well to hand the reigns to an indie dev like Sega did.
Please download and play CASTLEVANIA LACARDE CHRONICLES 2! It's Konami approved, features SOTN voice actors MetroidVania CV classic, awesome graphics and sound. A truly amazing fan made indie CASTLEVANIA .
Cool thoughtful list, ya hippie. It's clear you're really into games when your picks aren't all the most popular ones but are the ones that best fit the parameters of the list.
Umm... YES!!! Can not wait!!! One game I hope that comes out next month is Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Ooooo, good stuff! Might have to nab those on my next paycheck.
Konami just put them all especially symphony of the night......please put symphony of the night.....
