Castlevania 2 was non linear, but it did not redefine the series.

>sotn was not successful

And yet how many castlevanias were made in its image afterwards? If they thought it was not profitable, why did they make them that way?

>muh consoles

Speaking of failures...

SOTN got a "greatest hits" edition.

Meaning they sold millions of copies

SotN was the worst Metroid style Castlevania, though.

We all know which was the best.

Millions of copies that failed to recoup the cost of the game, because three separate Castlevania projects were collapsed together to create SotN. That's why it's so disjointed and full of clashing artstyles, and why it has such an excess of unique sprites.

Sotn is the only metroidvania that didnt bore the shit out of me.
