Mount Caburn playing peekaboo in the morning fog. That was a cold cycle to work.
But like i'm a dumb-ass who would pay 20$ for just Aria of sorrow alone.
Apparently...the rewind feature lets you reroll random drops...
That is a game changing feature, so long as you have the patience... dang.

It's DEFINITELY easier, but who knows how many times you'd have to rewind to get the result, is the thing. Rewinding 100 times in a row wouldn't be fun either.
Do yearly quarters in the video game industry work at the start of the year? If so, the end of September is a good time to push out ports and give the quarter a little boost. Similarly, the DS ports would be used to boost the end of some future quarter, maybe a year from now before Halloween.
Yeah, there's a toggle setting too to turn off HD audio if you want the crunch.
I picked up the Castlevania Advance Collection. And have now remembered how shit I am at Circle of the Moon. (Or it's just harder than I'm used to, but I was shit at it on the GBA too.)
Also apparently I didn't know the European release of that one was just called Castlevania here. Also apparently Dracula X was called Castlevania: Vampire's Kiss too.
I'm genuinely surprised how full-featured and nicely done this collection is, from Konami in particular who seem to have so little interest in video games these days - but then, they also nailed the PC Engine Mini, so I guess when they do something now they do it right.
But this REALLY shows how nice GBA games on the Switch can be, and how fantastic a 2D Metroid compilation would be, at least Fusion and Zero Mission. Come on, Nintendo. You know it makes sense.

The key in both cases, as in many others, is M.2
Yeah, they're a pretty good marker of quality.

Holding out hope Limited Run or equivalent will announce something, but I'm not sure this collection is for me...I'm only really interested in Circle of the Moon since I've never played it. I already have the GBA release of the Castlevania Double Pack (which includes Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow) and own 2 versions of the PC-Engine Dracula X.
So am I the only person who thought Harmony of Dissonance was a better game in no magic mode?
Only played through it once and my impression was it was lacking in many ways, so sure, maybe this helps.

There seems to be, at least as of May

Booted up Harmony of Dissonance and...it feels real squished and like they over-corrected on the complaints on the screen being too dark in Circle of the Moon? Like everything is weirdly bright and blocky. Didn't like it.
Booted up Aria of Sorrow. Never played this one, so I'm looking forward to biting into it. The style and look is really good. You can tell this was built years into the GBA's life.
Well I mean...You gotta remember, it was originally made for the OG GBA, so they kinda had to overcorrect there. The problem is now you're playing it on a Switch (or whatever) which has, ya know....lights.

Aria, however, is perfect.
I checked and I still don't know what it is but under the pause menu settings, it's Gadget Settings. All it says is "Displays obtainable collection items in the current area."

So I 100% believe it was an issue, but I played Circle of the Moon on an OG GBA back in the day and never had an issue.
Aria seems to have found the happy medium.
Holy shit did Konami crank out these games like they were COD or Madden. They took three years off for the DS games and it really show. All three DS games were fantastically made and a collection of them would be incredible.

First N64 game? Castlevania.
First GBA game? Castlevania.
First PS2 game? Castlevania.
You know, just to make sure it's real easy to talk about them.
Yeah, it's displaying special collectables in the area: I think relics, spellbooks, and furniture (less certain about that last one). The question marks turn to icons when you've obtained the item in question.
Yeah, I beat that final fight in Circle of the Moon myself a few days ago. I have no idea how you're supposed to reliably get hits on Dracula's final form without Uranus summons, and I have no idea how anyone would ever find Uranus without a guide telling you to go back and farm the first boss room.
Well in the base game bosses just flat out die to magic like it is nothing and it trivializes things a lot, playing as joe average Belmont rather than Juste the Wizard makes a lot of the fighta a lot more interesting.
My main problem with the game was there was one spot where you could miss something and have to spend 20 minutes backtracking later on to get it (it was before you unlocked multiple ways to go between castles) which was annoying as hell.
A 1000 piece puzzle would be pretty fun.
