The question is can Ubi even wait for the Switch 2? I hope they can't.

@TYRANACLES Loved Curse of the Moon 1 and 2 but was disappointed in Ritual of the Night. I completed it 2 times out of respect for Iga

@Ganner too unhealthy indeed

@TYRANACLES I've actually never seen that Spartan Total Warrior.

As for Castlevania, for me this is THE BEST thing to ever grace the gaming as a whole. I mean it I love Resident Evil, Diablo, Warcraft, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Zelda BUT Castlevania is my absolute pinnacle of gaming experience

And yes, beside the amazing hardware Nintendo offers, apart from Zelda, Metroid and Pokemon (with the exception of S&V) I find it hard to enjoy other games like Mario, Kirby(blahh), Bayonetta or Donkey Kong. I mean Mario is cool and I used to play it but now not so much. Maybe I should try Mario 64

And the last 2 years I was really into the Souls series.

TL DR: I really don't like kids games. There are small percentage of kids games that I like to play Toki, Bubble Bobble, Monster Boy, Snow Bros.

Update: Oh, I forgot to add on the how many times I've beaten them ... well many. Each GBA Castlevania at least 15-20 times. Same goes for the DS games and SOTN. The classic games I've only beaten CV1, CV2 and Super CV IV one time each. The RE game I've beaten RE2R and RE8 the most. The rest maybe 2-3 times each with the exception of RE3 Nemesis. I am yet to beat it but first I want to finish Claire A/Leon B scenario in RE2 Original. Oh, and I forgot that I am yet to beat CV Curse of Darkness and Lament of Innocence, but I am progressing that on the Steam Deck.

I also started doing a screenshot journey of each game I beat and put it in an external HDD archive. Some games take about 300 screenshots, but Elden Ring took 1261 and Skyrim took around 1100 just for examples I it a really satisfying hobby! And the console's dedicated buttons for taking screenshots really makes it easy

@Rainz no deal although I might consider making a deal for a PAL copy of Castlevania Symphony of the Night

Otherwise I was asked that before. The NL team put that article in a VERY convenient time for me, and ofc I know the time.

The moment they change it and I will not be the first one or when I am on a vacation ofc

@Ganner Haha
What you see is simply what I like to play. I try to find games online and buy them. I definitely do not have every game.

For example on the N64 I have like 7 games. Yes obscure ones but all awesome.

Oh I do not have the Tiger thing

My collection is not as big as it sounds. The most games I own are on the Switch. I have a list of games I would like to own and I try to follow it. Nostalgia is hell of a drug ... but a good one!

I agree that The Witcher 3 is the impossible port, but I would argue that the DooM(2016) and DooM Eternal are just as important. I would knock off Pokemon V&S as they give absolutely nothing defining the Switch era. I repeat they give ZERO defining elements to the Switch

Truly amazing game that I played through for the first time only 2 years ago.

I have started Claire A run in Resident Evil 2 N64 ... finally! On my way to meet with chief Irons and Sherry. It is a JOY to play this on the N64. The controls are so comfortable!

Also exited to start Silent Hill 2 Remake! I have never finished a Silent Hill game, so I am starting tomorrow and continuing through the week

And on the side some Titan Quest on the Switch, another fantastic game!

Castlevania Curse of Darkness is on standby for the next week

Have a great gaming weekend, everyone!

@BANJO I have only 2 games to trade but that is because LRG sent me those 2 games by their mistake and now I have extra copy of one and one that I do not intend on playing

@BANJO I am sitting at 225 physical Switch games now And even more are coming. I guess I will have a lovely elderhood with that backlog

I have to count them again or even make a spreadsheet to keep track of what I have.

BUT I never buy a game I did not like. I always look at videos, images and articles. Research is key

Well, on consoles I only buy physical games. That will only change if there are no more physical games available.

I prefer to have this kind of ownership of the media. Also the second hand market is cool.

Well deserved I loved all 3 movies!

@JohnnyMind Happy Birthday! Have a great one!

Continuing with The Witcher 3 Currently, I am leaving Ciri's trail from the Skellige Isles and going back to Velen for the ugly Uma. Enjoying the journey but there is more talking than fighting

I have started Castlevania Curse of Darkness on my Steam Deck as it is my preferred way to play it because the default camera controls on the PS2 is TERRIBLE for this game. I have never finished it because of that so I am really enjoying it now! It is a shame that a Castlevania fanatic like me never finished the game! Next on the list will be Lament of Innocence but I have to find it first.

And on the Switch, I am starting Project Warlock again. This time I am making my "screenshot journeys" with this title (as with every other game) even ordered an external HDD to keep my archive safe

HAPPY gaming everyone!

He is so damn good as Robotnik ... I hope there is a way!

I have been waiting a LONG time for this to get a physical edition

But it has been known for some time now and I got it preordered last month from a local retailer.

I want Metal Slug Collection and Magician Lord ...

This weekend continuing with The Witcher 3. I have a long road ahead of me! Met a witch and on the trail of some elven mage.

I got Clock Tower Rewind so I will play some of that

And if time permits some Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters Edition 2006 and Resident Evil 3 Nemesis!

Happy gaming and see you in the new year!

This weekend I am pulling the trigger on The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt I have previously played it for like an hour. Now I will be more committed!

Also playing some Resident Evil Deadly Silence (after beating RE2 Remake yet again ) and some Shadowgate but without a guide to see how many game over screens I can get

Happy gaming everyone and happy holidays!

The Switch is amazing!

If they make only ports, the Switch's life could be extended for another 2-3 years

Some people are deprived of logic I see.

A limited run is made for a specific time window and after that the production begins. How could they add a patch to the cartridges? It is not like it is a game breaking change like with DooM Classic Collection that they offered a recall.

I do not see people crying when patches are not added to the standard retail collector editions after launch.

And the funny part is that people are not even forced to buy those physical limited releases.

This weekend I will continue my playthrough of The Minish Cap that I started so long ago

And I will start a fresh run of Kingdoms of Amalur.

I will get some quick nostalgia shots of Faxanadu.

And finally replay again Resident Evil 2. I do not know what is making me replay this game so much ... oh that's right it is so damn GOOD!!!

Happy gaming everyone!!!

@DarkCoolEdge Only good porn

This weekend I will juggle between some games I don't have much progress in Ocarina of Time 3D and Castlevania 64.

And in the meantime, I will play Circle of the Moon and Resident Evil 4 Remake

Happy gaming everyone!!!

I hope AC Shadows is their last game.

Ubi screwed too many times. It is time to give up. Sell the franchises to a competent company please.

I can't believe that those idiots hold the rights to the Might and Magic franchise ...

@Markatron84 Thank you! Gaming = joy

This weekend will be quite relaxing

I will be playing some Metal Slug (just trying to pass some levels).

Some Castlevania GBA games from the CV Advance collection.

And for handheld glory I have chosen Metroid Fusion and Pokemon Moon!

Have a nice and relaxing gaming weekend

This weekend I will continue with Half-Life Alyx. It will be an understatement to say this is the BEST gaming experience in VR. I am only on Chapter 4 and can't wait to see what happens next!

In the meantime, I will blast some baddies in Quake I Do some puzzle in Layers of Fear And bring back some memories with WarCraft II

Have a nice gaming weekend people!!!

1. Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
2. Castlevania Portrait of Ruin
3. Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
4. Resident Evil Deadly Silence
5. Pokemon SoulSilver

This weekend will be awesome!

I am playing WarCraft III Reforged with the new 2.0 update!

And on the consoles side Red Dead Redemption, TMNT and Painkiller!!!

Have a nice weekend people!

Is there a chance to include information for the physical availability of the games in future reviews?
What is ON the cartridge?
Or if it does not have any physical editions planned.

@Samalik I upload them on image sharing website like imgbb.

This weekend I will focus on Terraria (Switch) and Resident Evil 2 Claire A/Leon B (N64)

And for more casual play Baldur's Gate 3 and Pokemon FireRed!

And it is me and my wife 17th anniversary so we will also celebrate!

Have a nice gaming weekend

The Castlevania soundtrack is pure perfection

That is why my ringtone is "Simon's Theme", and my alarm tone is "Bloody Tears"

I would love the backwards compatibility to be 100% physically as well as digitally.

If they make it so you can just put in the Switch cartridge and just play without any online checks, I will be a very happy gamer ;

This weekend I have decided to be ALL about Castlevania

There are many unbeaten CLASSICvanias by me so I will focus on that and if things get too hard, I will relax with the metroidvanias a little

Happy gaming weekend everyone!!!

@Rockboy247 I was extremely skeptical of VR, and the Quest 3 is the first time I have ever looked through a VR set ... it is amazing!!!

The lenses are really good even though it is not OLED like the PS5 still it looks GOOD!

The passthrough is cool but I mostly stay in games. Currently only 3 games but still

If you are on a budget look up the Quest 3S. The lenses are not the quality of the Quest 3 but the processor is the same

This weekend I will play around in Fallout 4 VR Really excited about that!

And for some traditional gaming I will enjoy Divinity Original Sin 2 and GRIME

Happy gaming everyone!

Haha that name is pure gold

@Ooyah I hope the specs are worth it

The trackpads are not only for point and click adventures and strategy games as most people think. The capability for FPS games (especially older ones) is amazing!

I got the 64GB storage and got a cheap SSD of 256GB almost immediately. The best part is that it does not void the warranty if I change it myself

I wish the ROG works best for you

@Ooyah May I ask why the ROG Ally and not a Steam Deck? I mean I got the Deck over the ROG JUST for the trackpads that allow for so much more control and tinkering!

@mlt Did they say they are working on a sequel? I either forgot or missed it

I do not know about new ideas because:

1. The shard system is straight copy from CV Aria of Sorrow.
2. The crafting of weapons where you fuse shard with a weapon to make it new or final form straight copy of CV Dawn of Sorrow crafting system.
3. The one cool thing is the spell making the world upside down which is a nod to the inverted Castle in Symphony of the Night.
4. Oh, and the Alucard fanservice copy had me laughing.
5. Miriam is another copy of Shanoa.

I felt that Iga did not even try with this one

It seems like I am crapping on the game too much I am a zealot when it comes to the RPG CV games and RotN just can't rank higher than any of them.

I finished it twice with 100% completion and I felt that they should continue making the Curse of the Moon saga because they are the better games of this new franchise.

@Kochambra Sorry, I was talking about SotN flaws.

This weekend will be the start of my fight against laziness! I am cleaning up my project and starting to actively make additions to my game Castletoria!

In the meantime, I will casually continue with Echoes of Wisdom and the Half-Life port on the PS2

Happy gaming everyone!!!

@mlt When we talk lack of polish RotN is like in number one spot. And I am not talking about the performance. The overall atmosphere of the game feels rushed and put together with duct tape. I mean 3 of the areas are "(something) Sorcery Lab" and they are so disjointed from the rest of the Castle.

SotN has flaws but they are negligent in the main view. That is why it is labelled masterpiece. RotN will never reach that kind of level unfortunately.

My main flaws (with SotN) are that in a certain point it is too easy, most of the bosses do not last much and there is no new game + mode.

I still fail to understand why RotN physical edition has DRM on the Switch. I mean if you never linked your account to a Nintendo account you can't play your cartridge until you link it.

And on top of that if I do not count the terrible optimization and the DRM the game is like a 5/10. Not bad but not good either.

Just give me a physical edition of this PLEASE!!!

@Friendly SotN would crush the sales on the Switch (and Switch 2).

@Vidikron That is what I am wondering as well! The original was released on the Xbox 360. I have lost faith in Konami about Castlevania, they just hold the IP now and the others do the actual work.

@Samalik yes, Konami does not want to figure it out, that is why they rely on others to port for them.

In our unfortunate case, one of the most beloved titles is in Sony's hands

@Samalik Hmm how? Dracula X Chronicles is exclusive to the PSP and I am pretty sure that Sony will not let it go from its exclusivity.

Also have you seen Castlevania Lament of Innocence being ported? Nope because again, it is a PS2 exclusive.

The only previously exclusive Castlevania games we can play now on current hardware were on Sega, Nintendo and Arcade.

Sony will never let it go (Sad Elsa sounds)
