General Castlevania Discussion / Re: New Collectionon: Castlevania Dominus Collection
« Last post by Reinhart77 on August 28, 2024, 07:59:12 AM »So far I've been happy with the layout of three screens. Having both the map and info screens up at the same time is a luxury I didn't expect they'd make happen and it works pretty well. I'm playing on projector against my wall and I can just kind of ignore the stuff on the right half of the screen if I want. I'll see how it goes when I try playing it on the Switch screen though.
One thing that's been great is the ability to customize the button layout. I've really enjoyed being able to make it more like the button setup I've always used for Symphony of the Night. An irritant though is that they severely restrict where you're able to assign the touch and collection menu. This is preventing me from using the optimum setup. A problem I have with my current Zelda themed wireless controller is that the start button is placed too close to the Y button button so that I find myself frequently accidentally pressing it when I attack. I moved the switch screens functionality to the start button so that it doesn't interrupt gameplay when that happens.
Another potential problem I see is that you can't adjust the speed of the pointer. I'm afraid that during the boss seal events I won't be able to write the glyph fast enough in the heat of battle. I haven't tried that, so maybe it's not an issue, but I might end up having to switch to my Switch screen when fighting bosses. Alternatively, I might just end up frequently using the rewind feature during those boss battles because I don't think it's cheating if the controls don't function properly. I do hope this ends up on a Switch 2 which I hope would allow you to use a second screen and a touch screen to make it possible to switch between using the touch pad and big screen more seamlessly.
