The demand of different controller labels pushes me forward in making an update before I was assuming it's definitive.

I don't think Igarashi meant anything much other than copy SotN on the GBA. I love HoD, but the story? Eh...

It's new to me and I'm sure thinking about it now. If the Crystal Traders were indeed other vampire hunters, they might have been working with Simon in 1698 by keeping the peace and feeding him vital info. After Dracula's curse was lifted, it'd then make sense for Simon (and any Belmont really) to maintain close ties with likeminded individuals and their families.

So I suppose that if Maxim is anyone's descendant, he could be theirs. Not so sure about Lydie; I see her as a humble civilian personally.

Ingredients: Carbonated Water, Natural and Artificial Flavours, Sodium Gluconate, Malic Acid, Caffeine (Purecaf™), Potassium Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (goBHB®), Vitamin Blend (Maltodextrin, Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12), L-Tyrosine, Sucralose, Potassium Citrate, Citric Acid, Acesulfame Potassium, Antioxidant Blend (Green Coffee Bean Extract, Green Tea Extract, Turmeric Extract, Tart Cherry, Blueberry, Broccoli, Kale), L-Theanine, Steviol Glycosides.

If you could expand the "Natural and Artificial Flavours", you'd have 6 more lines. And remember, natural flavours doesn't mean natural.

Fan Stuff / Castlevania Alucard's Requiem (NEW Fan hack!!!)

« Last post by DarkPrinceAlucard on September 11, 2024, 03:24:11 PM »

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFig5rh_k9k
DOWNLOAD link in video description^^^










Hello, this is my newest hack that serves as a "what if" type of story about what would happen if Soma never got involved and Alucard was forced to handle things himself (thanks to caminopreaccher).

This hack features new music, new stage hazards and layouts, new palettes for stages and some enemies/bosses. This hack was made to be on the difficult side with its new layouts
so if challenging games isn't your cup of tea this hack may not be to your liking but speaking for myself as a longtime fan of metroidvanias i have always wanted to add more challenging
obstacles and enemies to them so this hack fills that need ive always felt. This hack was honestly something i made for myself but recently decided to share with fans who might enjoy it.

This hack comes with two Xdelta patches, one of Alucard in his Symphony of the Night appearance while the other is uses a CV3 inspired look with sprites curtesy of Drameloch (originally ported to dawn by our moderator I am Me). to apply simply get your US version of Dawn of Sorrow rom and use Xdelta to patch only ONE of the patches to your unmodified rom. Anymore questions ask here and be sure to read the README file within the download link.

@Reinhart77 nah, you’re just rusty lol. Once you get in the groove you’ll have an easier time. I remember getting my ass handed to me the first time I played Order of Ecclesia, and I expect it to happen again when I purchase this collection.

Unfortunately, it’ll have to wait, since my Switch is currently out of commission (one of my joycons broke because it was on my night table & I jumped out of bed because I thought the devil was attacking me, my dog laying next to me, a pug, didn’t alert me in time of the impending danger since dogs are perceptive to paranormal phenomena, in doing so my leg accidentally knocked the Switch to the floor & the controller broke off) so I sent it out to get it repaired.

Do these games seem harder to anyone else?  Maybe I'm just older than when I first played it and just don't have the same reaction time, but it feels like I'm playing on hard mode right off the bat at least in the boss fights.  Getting killed by Portrait of Ruin Dullahan after only two hits of his big attacks?  Feels like I forgot to put on armor, but I don't think that's it.  Maybe I had to rely on potions back in the day too and just don't remember it.

Like, rough-rough stuff?  The commercial was touting "never-before-seen" when it was just the stuff from Konami's Japanese site for Ecclesia. '.'

I didn’t think there was anything worth getting excited about. It's mostly model sheets and portrait art, a lot of it has been around for years in some form.
Only about two pages look like they are from a game design document and they didn't even bother to translate them, there is zero art from Haunted castle.
Ironically they included concept art that looks like it's for POR's intro animation but appear to have removed the opening from the collection, unless I missed it. Some of the jingles in Haunted castle didn’t play for me so maybe my PC just didn’t play the video or something.
