@Tasuki It was called Shadow Warriors in Europe. And only 1 and 2 were released here.

But Ninja Gaiden 3 NES was never released in Europe, so this boxart is North America only.

Anyway, I voted for the NA cover as it is badass!

First of all, happy Women's Day to all the ladies

Now I am left with only 2 Castlevania games not beaten from the Classics collection. Adventure and Belmont's Revenge. so Castlevania The Adventure is not the chopping block this weekend.

Also, I am going to try and get into Monster Hunter with Monster Hunter World. I OWN so many MH games but never spent much time in them.

And for relaxing Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Horn of the Abyss on the Steam Deck!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

The EU releases might be untouched, so I am fine, but the US market might see more digital releases.

We in the EU have more serious problems than more expensive games so ....

I too have fairly large physical Switch library that will last be for a very long time!

The Switch generation is quite amazing even though from the Nintendo only games I only got into the Zelda franchise I have so much to play!

It is truly a Golden generation for me.

Finally, I will play Graveyard Keeper! I have been waiting for so long for a physical edition of this game!

In the meantime, I am starting Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, and I am so happy that there is no time limit tied to the good ending with Cornell!

And on the side some Silent Hill 2

Also finished the design on the Lore, Bestiary and Magic menus in Castletoria!!!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

My Steam Deck is for emulation of games not available on current consoles and for PC only (mostly obscure) games.

The Switch 2 will be just fine with me

I have the regular physical edition, but I wonder what game version is on this cartridge. If it is updated with the latest patches, it might be worth it.

@Whirlwound Just checked and it is still "Dark Spellian" in the Info of the DMG for both US and EU versions

I just got a surprise delivery!

I thought that the game releases in the 27th

This weekend I will be randomly playing God of War 3, Wrath Aeon of Ruin and Ocarina of Time 3D.

3 fantastic games to set the mood

And ofc the development of Castletoria continues! This year the progress will be huge!

Happy gaming everyone!

@Tasuki I really like it but it's rival Super Castlevania IV is the better game for me

Maybe it is about the atmosphere and environments that I like it more.

@trymer89 You can go 2 ways in Castlevania. The Classic way also known as the hard way or the RPG/Exploration way.

Even if it is NOT the first CV game, I would suggest to just play Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

You can always start chronologically with Lament of Innocence or Castlevania (NES) as it was the first game, but SotN is art in its purest form with all of its shortcomings that you would not care after finishing it

This weekend and the following week I will focus on Castlevania Bloodlines as the next step in my ClassicVania journey! Already on stage 2 Greece with John Morris.

I am also starting Resident Evil 1 Remake as I've only beaten it once with Chris, long time ago!

On the side quick sessions of Resident Evil 2 VR as I am finally in the NEST Lab!!!

Oh and I am actively developing Castletoria! Each day I draw new assets for the game and code little parts Soon I will start improving the gameplay.

Happy gaming everyone!!!

For me it is not a deal breaker, at all.

As long as the display do not have dead pixels, I don't care if it is LCD, OLED or whatever the future brings.

@paulinhosjb13 I have a thread in the forums with screenshots and stuff about the game

https://www.nintendolife.com/forums/other_gaming/castletoria_-_a_game_in_development

@Gs69 EmuDeck is all you need! It will install ALL of the emulators you need. After that you just put the games in their respective folders.

Also, there is a plugin called SteamRom where you can put the emulated games in gaming mode as separate games like you just bought them from Steam.

@Gs69 The Deck is a wonderful little device that is a paradise for retro gaming And some modern gaming!

I am not stopping until I beat the Castlevania games I have never finished! Now on the block is Castlevania III Dracula's Curse! One of the hardest CV games to date!

However, my main task is to put more time in improving my game Castletoria! I have spent 2 days drawing and coding the equipment menu! The old one had terrible navigation

And for some relaxing if time permits (I doubt that!) Tormented Souls on the PS5 and God of War 2 on the PSVita!

Have a nice gaming weekend!!!

Even if Konami do not want to revive Castlevania there are many indie devs that are doing it already!

@mlt That is true! Cainhurst Castle is like a mini Castlevania area

@B3RTAY I do not know how many of Migami other games have you played.

The 2 most recent Castlevania fan games Lecarde Chronicles and Lecarde Chronicles 2 have the same graphics but the animations here are better.

The art style is almost like a photograph that was edited with pixel art software. I really like it.

Also, his last game was published on the Switch as well, Wallachia: Reign of Dracula. It has identical graphical style as well.

As a huge Castlevania fan myself this will be a banger!

@B3RTAY I did not get to see your first post but are you saying to not cover this game because it looks unappealing to you?

The game is made Mig Perez and he is known for making Castlevania fan games. As far as I know he is drawing and coding the game on his own!

I can't wait to get it!

Surprises like what? A detachable disc drive that requires an internet connection to even function? Now that is what I call a "good" surprise ...

The Switch 2 is just a better Switch 1 ... leave it alone

@John_Deacon PoR is filled with content to the brim!

We also get Richter as a memory and as a playable character!

And after beating the game you get to hear a new version of "Simon's Theme" in the sound mode! Really cool!

Amazing game!!! Your next stop is probably Order of Ecclesia? Also, one of the very best CV games!

@Tasuki I am hoping they make a proper physical release when porting it to the PS5

I have seen the game, and it looks really good!

After beating Castlevania Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness I am going to seriously put some time in Castlevania 64. I have researched how to get the good ending, and I will put some effort in this journey!

On the side I will play the amazing Guilty Gear Strive and Wolfenstein The Old Blood which is my favorite of the modern Wolfenstein games (The New Order and The New Colossus)

Happy gaming everyone!

I am definitely getting this with my next paycheck!

The physical edition has the base game and the first 3 Seasons of DLC on the cart.

@DanijoEX-the-Pierrot Same with Blizzard ... And let's not forget how Ubi butchered HoMM 6 and 7.

The people working there will find better jobs in no time.

I hope soon Ubisoft will be the one being laid off

Physical is declining but it is not going anywhere

At the very end we will have only "boutique" publishers like LRG, SRG etc. The dedicated physical gamers will still have ways to get physical functioning games.

Digital only means:

• unfinished game that can be "fixed later"
• boost more and more incompetent practices
• monopoly on the market and its prices

@Vyacheslav333 I have Windows on a separate SD card, but I run GOG games on Steam OS. You just have to install them in desktop mode and then add them to Steam as "non-steam games".

It works like a charm! currently the games I have tried and worked from GOG are:

• Painkiller Black Edition
• Painkiller Overdose
• Sanitarium
• Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete + Horn of the Abyss expansion
• Heroes of Might and Magic 4 Complete
• Heroes of Might and Magic 5
• Disciples 2
• Clive Barker's Undying
• Grim Dawn
• Majesty 1 HD
• Majesty 2 Gold
• Aliens vs Predator (2000)

@Gs69 If you are looking for value for money the Steam Deck is the answer!

Mine is not OLED but it is still so damn good! I bought the cheapest version and after few months I upgraded the SSD to 512GB on my own. It was damn easy!

I use it to play Steam and GOG games, as well as emulation ofc.

Also, there is a charm in playing retro PC games on that thing! For example, point and click adventure games, Monkey Island series, Sanitarium I even play Starcraft Remastered on it vs AI

If you find the time to play around, you can make everything playable on that thing. Also, there is so much support online for literally everything on the deck.

This weekend and the following week I will focus mainly on Castlevania Lament of Innocence! I am playing in on the Deck so I can easily take screenshots of my journey

First time playing Dragon's Dogma so that could be fun and Resident Evil 4 Remake on the PS5 because the last time I played it, it was on the PS4, and I did not make a screenshot journey.

Happy gaming everyone!!!

Looking at this feels so good!

I loved the side quests which Daniela gives to Shanoa in Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. You must go and use a sketchbook to draw certain places that were special to Daniela and were associated with her husband that passed away.

Her memory was failing due to old age, and she wanted to remember those special memories.

It was a really simple task but quite unique to the Castlevania Universe

@CammyUnofficial Diablo 4 is a live service game. All of the actions are made on a blizzard server.

Diablo 2 only requires a login in battle.net from time to time but can be played offline. Still dumb, while D4 requires a constant internet connection.

Add offline like with Diablo 3 and I will buy it.

While they are on it, remove the Battle.net requirement for Diablo 2 Resurrected.

@TYRANACLES I need to make inventory of my PS4, PS5 and my retro consoles The Switch is definitely the biggest collection

The Witcher 3 was fantastic! The gameplay was clunky, but the stories told inside were really cool! I definitely now know why it won game of the year in 2015

@wazlon Thank you!

@Waveboy The mod is awesome! The run through the RPD in VR is a terrifying experience!

The only games I own for VR are RE2, RE3, RE7 and RE8 (All MODS ofc), Skyrim, Fallout 4, Half-Life Alyx and Half-Life 2 VR MOD.

Still only beaten Half-Life 2 and Alyx.

@Yalloo I counted 225 but now they are 227 and they will be 229 Monday

And OFC it is The Office!

This weekend I will focus on DUSK for the Switch. It is an amazing retro style fast paced shooter with some atmospheric levels

My second focus is Resident Evil 2 Remake in VR. I am in the sewers section and looking forward to making it to the lab ... I hope

And lastly, if time permits, some Blasphemous 2 on the PS5 and Castlevania The Dracula X Chronicles

Also, I am REALLY excited that my Switch physical collection will be playable on the Switch 2

Happy gaming everyone!!!

Finally! It looks good! And it is physically backwards compatible!

@Dr_Corndog I think it will be the other way around I think AI generated things need to have a label just like cigarettes, so you know what you consume.

I do not want to look at a painting and wonder if it is from a human or AI.

Also, more and more artistic outlets online need to give the option to artists to ban AI from using their work to fill the AI databases.

@Dr_Corndog I think that people are afraid of companies that use AI for art and deceive people that it is drawn by a person. And all of this is to save costs.

Hmmm I think this might be my very first back on Kickstarter. I just made an account, and I will back the hardcover copy

Who knows I might start playing Mega Man games?

@Ooyah It was always a "miserable little pile of secrets". In the PSP version the phrase is totally different "A cesspit of hatred and lies.". Those are the only 2 versions

@VHSGREMLIN "little pile"

"But enough talk! Have at you!" Damn I am addicted to Castlevania

Konami needs to ask themselves the question "What is a man?"

I hope the second season is better than the first.
