Name a better weapon. I'll wait.

Right after SotN and Super Metroid it is.

Adolescence is idolizing Aria
Adulthood is realizing that Dawn is overall the better game

>>377449805
Transcendence is realising circle of the moon is the direction metriodvanias should have went

>best castlevania
yes
>best metroidvania
no

>>377449731
But SotN is the worst Metroid style Castlevania, and Super Metroid is mediocre.

>>377449805
I agree, but the anime artstyle was really ugly. A shame, considering the previous game's art.

I wish they would just hand over Castlevania to M2.

Found out TWLoader is a thing but it runs poorly on there. I should buy it and stop being cheap.

the Valmanway from DoS. Best weapon to speed rush bosses.

Fucking Excalibur

>>377449805
The only thing that is better in Dawn are the bosses

>>377450916

>WAHHHHH Dawn of Sorrow suck!

RED. MINOTAUR. Oops I just broke the game!

>liking the inferior celtic holy sword

>>377448890
Dawn of Sorrow is better

La-mulana > Aria of Sorrow > SotN > Super Metroid

are you insane?

>>377448890

>ignoring Ecclesia because of its' linearity

people shat on Metroid Fusion for the same reasons.

>>377451530

that's not Guacameme

>>377451541
ironic because Fusion is complete garbage and where everything started to go wrong with Metroid

>>377451681

>"Fusion is bad because it caused Other M to exist" may may

>>377451272
>game lets you pick how you play
>using this like an asshole can ruin the experience for you
Garbage in garbage out applies

>>377451681
Even though it was more linear and had too much dialogue, I appreciated the variety in the upgrades.

>>377451948

>using TV Tropes unironically

>>377448890
I fucking loved to beat the whole game with the handgun.

Also, it's kind of weird that this got like 0 porn despite posterior games being popular in that regard

since Anon's above are talking about 2D Metroid

I wanted to play Zero Mission > Super > Fusion, but I'm not playing Super until I've got a new 2DS XL
is playing Super Metroid last a problem? I know chronologically the first order is better but will it still make enough sense? I've played Prime for what it's worth

Somebody made a mod to fix it.

>>377450012
Thief mode CotM is one of my favorite Catlevania experiences ever

>>377452458
go Fusion > Super > Zero Mission. If you play Zero Mission or Super first your expectations for Fusion will be too high

>>377451681
>fusion garbage
>when prime exists

Can I get a quick rundown on La-Maluna?
This map someone posted earlier has me intrigued.

>>377454468
>never programmed for a single Castlevania game
>is a producer which means literally nothing
>people still have faith
my favorite part is when he takes all the credit for SotN despite only entering the project very late into development

>>377454575
It's the sort of game where you're expected to write down absolutely EVERYTHING, think hard about stuff, and still get stuck from time to time.

If that seems appealing, then yeah, it's a great game once you get used to the unconventional jumping.

The biggest problem it had was that it reused way too much stuff. Still great though.
