I wonder if we'll be able to play isketch on the Wii. That'd be pretty neat.

I am quite capable of explaining why I like them, so unless you care what I think (survey says: Probably not), let's stop this here.

Although the "castle" portion was really rushed with the bosses just basically crammed in one after the other as fast as possible, I really liked CV4's take on the original game. Traveling through the countryside and the mountains and whatever else to get to the castle was great. I also liked that they toned down the extremely punishing things from the first game, like the fucking Medusa heads over death pits. And the whip-swinging thing was cool.

I'd have to say my personal favorite among the oldschool Castlevania games (16-bit and prior) was Simon's Quest.

I really liked Simon's Quest, but The Angry Nintendo Nerd had some good points; there's a lot of shit that was just insanely hard to figure out. You basically HAD to play the game many times to get the "good" ending, which I guess is kind of part of the charm, but could be irritating. And the text about "it's night now/it's day now" was annoying. Actually, one thing I really thought was cool that was non-standard was the villagers; half of them were superstitious retards who had some idiotic old wives' tales that they would tell you, and you'd believe them because most video-game villagers who tell you "I heard there's a castle in the woods that has a magic sword in it" are correct. Like, in almost every single other game ever, they're all correct. But in this one, they are wildly inaccurate a lot of the time, and correct only sometimes.

Did you play the N64 Castlevania games? If so, what are your opinions regarding them?

I am honestly curious. I thought they were pretty good but at that point I thought any 3-d platformer with decent combat was awesome. I also didn't have access to Symphony of the Night, which, as I understand, is the best game in the series. Still haven't played it.

You see, while popular opinion says that Billy Joel is a talented musician, my research and personal preferences dictate otherwise. His notes do not match up with the tempo, as sometimes the vocal tracks may be playing in four-four while the music is playing in three-four. His skills as a pianist reflect the modern change in music, and that all may be well, but it is also possible that he has nothing to do with music. Some scientists say that he may be responsible for the downfall of classical rock/jazz and leading the way to a more urban "rap/hip hop" style in popular music.

The lyrics are sometimes written in a post-modern/modern/victorian era style, but his personal vocal stylings are more of a classical/reggae perturbation. Sometimes young people listen to his songs while on dates and analysts speculate that he may be responsible for underage/overage/pre-marital marital relations and pregnancies. Although some students show an interest in his music, some students show a lack of interest in the tracks from his albums and the opinion is grossly differential (depending on the test group).

He also is not a very good driver

Oh dude...dude...You did not play SOTN? Man, you really missed out and you definitely want to get and play that. Like I'm almost tempted to send you mine, you really should not miss SOTN. One caveat: Don't use a walkthrough and don't power-level. The game has a nice level of challenge if you basically run straight through it, but if you hang out collecting money, items, and levels, it's stupidly easy.

The N64 ones? Plural? I only know of one. It wasn't...bad...but it wasn't that great. I played it through as both characters, and you get one bad and one good ending for each. They have different cutscenes and some different bosses and stuff, and one character uses a ranged attack while the other uses the usual whip. But anyway, yeah, the platform elements are OK, the night/day thing (like Simon's Quest) is pretty cool...there's one particular part that needs its own special mention: The "Magical Nitro" part. You have to get this jar of nitroglycerin (this game is in like 1896 or something) and take it to a cracked wall in the colosseum to fight Cerberos or something and get to the next level. Well, after you pick it up, you are not allowed to fall at all. Like, if you jump, you will die upon landing. Don't get hit, either. Oh, and you have to walk back across these really narrow platforms, some of which open and close at intervals so you also have to time it right. While people throw shit at you. It's tremendously annoying and takes like 50 tries, and basically makes you dread it so much that you don't want to play through again.

Overall, though, it was pretty cool, but didn't hold a candle to SOTN.

Javen

Hell I still play SOTN every once and a while.

My friend and I have competitive speed runs/time trials. I haven't bought a Castlevania since.

I must not have gotten to the nitro part. I didn't beat that one.

Anyway, yeah, there were two. Castlevania 64 and Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness. It had four playable characters. The primary one was a non-Belmont who was also a werewolf. It was pretty cool, but it suffered the same problem of the other game: the weapon system was far too simplistic. It basically came down to using your primary attack (be it whip, magic, or werewolf energy scythe thing) on everyone and everything.

And yeah, I never owned a Playstation and now SotN is hard to find so I never played it. I understand it was a real departure for the series. The art was incredible.
