[FKW'07]i just played through four castlevania games.

John Mc.

i finished curse of darkness this morning, and then proceeded to play through castlevanias 1-4. i emulated, and save stated, but didn't cheat (never during bosses or halfway through normal level demarcations). i'd never finished 1 or 3 before. i feel like a REAL MAN.

fucking konami week!

tomorrow i am going to play thorough bloodlines and FINALLY play rondo of blood. so maybe this will be the other, less interesting, castlevania thread!

also, i took a bunch of screenshots from II of the inexplicable localization. i will try to get them up tomorrow!

Goodness John, you are really charging through those games. I mean you were still on Lament on Saturday. Good going.

Hey John, I finally finished Dawn of Sorrow (after sitting on a 90% completed cart for over two months). I think I'll attempt Julius Mode when I'm good and ready though.

Bloodlines is really nice. ; ] It gets pretty hard after the factory stage though.

After I found Castlevania Chronicles kinda crash prone when running on a PSP, I bought CV4 on the Virtual Console. It seems to have a steep difficulty curve from stage four or so and I gave up at 7 or 8. Do I just suck? I can clear Rondo with little effort, but this is breaking my balls with tons of platform malarky.

The music is damn nice though, a bit of a change from the usual CV fare.

ok! finished bloodlines and rondo today. the latter was a lot of fun; the former, not so much.

also, blackula. o_O

i am now giving the saturn symphony of the night a run. there are doors where there shouldn't be doors! i leveled ten times in one room! if the port wasn't rather poor, this would be a great version!

I'm having a ton of fun with Castlevania 4. I'm playing it on the Virtual Console with a Gamecube a controller. One problem, though: the controls seem to be mapped in such a way that I can't use the whip and jump at the same time. Is that true to the original, or not at all?

In the SNES original, Y whipped and B jumped. The same as throwing fireballs in Mario world. The R button also threw weapons.
