It's kind of a smoothbrained position to say that other games should feature it. I love the multidirectional whip in CV4, but games like CV1 and ROB are so much more strategic and fun without it. Breaking game balance doesn't sound like a good time.

Introduced system config - The last function-wise addon to the game until if there's any request comes in.

Hope from this point on, I can get the well deserved rest for a bit longer.

6 starting from Smash Bros that I can think of.  Did I miss any?

Edit: Oh, since Smash isn't a DLC, I guess that would make 5 CV DLCs in non-Castlevania games.  Also since Jail or Bail is a Konami game, that would give us 5 collaborations as well.

Looking through some of these old trailers - this is when original style Simon Belmont really made a come back.

Good job listing all of those!
It's impressive but not surprising how Smash is the only one who actually got it right in my opinion.
Oh, what i wouldn't give up to get a new classic stage based game developed with those graphics and overall direction... the Dracula stage and fight in Smash was incredible

He seems way too focused on the 8-direction whipping from SCVIV.

No metroidvania, for me, has ever topped the wonder and intrigue of either Super Metroid or SotN. Those games all feel like art pieces with organic environments, as opposed to designed gameplay loops that happen to feature good art.

Not that I think the genre is stale or anything, I just think it's one of those things that's incredibly difficult to get right. SM and SotN have many more detectable flaws than modern metroidvanias but their shadow looms impossibly tall over the genre. It's like boxers.

Sorry for the double post, but any updates or hints of when I can put some money down on Chronicles of the Wolf?

here we go again LOL

I'm losing count now. Is the 4th? 5th? Vania DLC in non Vania games?

With how busy I've been, I haven't had the chance to try any of this stuff.
