Actually, I just realized this person is most likely mention in the credits as producer. I'll check later today if I can find anything.

I agree. Is there not a way to change it? I only played a few minutes last night.

Well, you can play with a GameCube Controller via the adapter, but you lose access to the menu unless you unplug it and pull out the JoyCons

There is no way on the NES and the GB games. On SCV4 and Bloodlines I think you can.

Would it have killed Konami to input a button config in their product? Certainly not.

The two major differences between japanese and north american versions that effect game mechanics are Grant’s weapon in CV3 and Christopher’s subweapons in Belmont’s Revenge.  Any other that we can look forward to?  I also think some games also have different ways of calculating damages, but forget which ones.

CV III US has more damage inflicted onto the character then CV III Japan. Also in the Japanese version the enemies don't take as many hits to kill either (the fire-spitting bone pillars are a good example of this as well as the bone dragons).

Playing Belmont's Revenge for the first time. Feels way better than the Adventure.

Emulation is pretty solid, but, it's too barebones to be notable for anything either.

Playing the NES games require you to play with Y+B because X+A are swapped, Absolutely no mapping options.
Plus side is that SNES and Genesis games have a good control scheme (Snes is a given, but it's easy to fuck up genesis)
PC version outright has no Exit Program feature nor display settings.
Castlevania uses the original release which has the Sprite Draw crash, which explains the massive amount of flicker.

I'm going to give it the ol' GPD WIN optimization test, but what I've red on the reddit, it's probably not going to go so well.

Also the Twitter stated this is "the first", so buying this isn't too bad. if anything someone will probably crack the .bin to replace the roms.

Finished Castlevania 1, IV, and Bloodlines so far. I'm waiting for the Famicom patch to drop because I don't feel like playing through the harder version of Castlevania 3.

These games feel really comfortable to play in Switch's handheld mode.

I can definitely understand wanting accessibility options, or even a greater sense of consistency in button layouts across games, but from what I've seen, aside from the angle of the buttons, it's generally faithful to the burned-into-memory NES controls; and moreover, it's how the GBA Castlevania games played on GBA (http://www.vgmuseum.com/mrp/cv-cotm/packing/cotm_page04.jpg) and DS (and Wii U, I think)--I just put Circle of the Moon into my old DS Lite the other day, which simulates modern controllers, and the control scheme felt totally natural to me. The button that's farther to the left, whether lower or at the same height, is usually attack, and the button to the right of that is jump. (i.e. B-attack and A-jump on Switch, A-attack and B-jump on XBox). So I'm a little surprised at the amount of outcry on that point. Not saying it couldn't have been different, and maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but I don't think it was totally illogical on M2's part. Am I to understand that all these years, Castlevania fans were reversing their jump and attack buttons? What would have been worse, in my opinion, is defaulting a reversal of buttons, which is what the Gamecube Mega Man Anniversary Collection did years back, and that did not work with my muscle memory at all.

Has anyone had any issues with timed jumps on rotating platform in the trick manor in SCV4? For some reason there seems to be some slight delay in the input which makes it hell to go through the stage, i could do it almost eye-closed on the SFC, I'm playing on Switch and literally had a game over in the first half of the first block :-\

I've had no issues getting through any secton of CV4 in regards to input delay. It could be your tv.
