[DS] Castlevania: Symphony of the Tits

Why not put it on the 360 with high def sprites and 2D artwork?

Use particle effects and all the other nifty tech for whiz bang shiney?

Have more on the screen? ZOMBIE HORDE!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That would mean something if I could view the game outside of a 2.5 inch screen.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Words cannot even begin to describe how bored I got playing through the BLACK AND WHITE castle in HoD.

That said, I really don't have much frame of reference here. I missed Portrait of Ruin, but I guess I could still get in on it, but I did have fun with Dawn of Sorrow, even though the stylus parts were kind of lame. Just based on what's out there so far, this doesn't look any different from the others, but there also doesn't appear to be any more on it than just pictures.

All the same, I'll be watching this one.

If I can find it, I'll link ya. But I've read a few very convincing arguments for HoD.

Also, over the course of this thread I began to realize just how much I hate the term "Metroidvania".

I hate it too, but probably for different reasons. A small minority of Castlevania games are "Metroid" in style.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Imagine a 40 hour 2D Castlevania game?

*imagines*

I see a game that wears out it's welcome, who's setting and artstyle eventually become dull, and gameplay that relies more and more on pointless fetch quests and scarcity of items.

Also maybe lengthy FMV.

No thanks.
