anyone run this on dolphin? Ive got 4774 build and the emulation is perfect with ogl but it crashes as soon as I start the game for some reason (contra too) but it plays fine with dx9 but has all kinda graphic glitches

Dolphin? Is this a WiiWare emulator?

[Aridale]

its a gamecube/wii emulator... very damn good one too

Just in case you guys didn't know you can access a level select by holding right for a few seconds at the title screen, just make sure the cursor is at "newgame".

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

:O

I totally did not know!
Well there you have it, folks.  One of the qualms about the game, retracted.

[Gecko]

...Wow!

In that case, yeah this game is pretty much flawless in my eyes.

I noticed a small deal of reused sprites, but it didn't bother me much, and after the first playthrough, they didn't bother me at all, and I just kind of accepted them. It's like how in Sotn, you know very well a good amount of those graphics came from X6800 Castlevania, Castlevania 4, AND Rondo, but does anyone really care? No. Only thing about it in this case that still gets me is that the larger bat is OBVIOUSLY Soma's bat form from AoS. It's like they didn't even bother to make it black or anything. Just a bunch of Soma Cruz's, trying to kill me in a new Castlevania game that takes place hundreds of years before Soma's birth. I'm sure anyone not familiar with AoS would never know, but I just can't seem to ignore that one detail. Everything else is easy for me to accept though.

Great game.



Only one more thing to know really:
This level select, does it ALWAYS allow you to access any of the levels, or do you have to unlock them by beating them? It doesn't really matter to me that much since I've already been through the game, but it never hurts to know.

Crunchy! I'll have to download it sometime. I'd love me some Mega Man 9 on a computer.

Gecko:
From what I hear on the IRC channel, it only has stages you've completed, available.  Therefore, it's very much like Rondo of Blood or Gradius Rebirth's Stage Selector.

Good way to practice your skills at the stages.

Ah, the icing on the cake. Good thing, since there is no save. Done in such a classic fashion too.

[Blue Cheese]

W00T!
Just swinging in late to the party to toss in my two cents.
  What a freaking surprise this was. I don't really know what I was expecting, maybe just some kind of half-assed kinda thing, but I was floored by this game.  It's felt like an honest to god classic game. I mean the highest of praise when I say it seemed like a really good fan game.
  It was exactly what I dared not hope for. A return to the classic formula and it was GOOD!

[knightmere]

This game is a great return to classic castlevania gameplay, and hopefully there is more on the way!

I've started to grow quite tired of the metroidvanias as of late, and this is definitely a breath of fresh air.

[Dracul]

Definately a breath of fresh air. 

I'm going to be writing a bit of a lengthy update in the fan section in a lil while, part of it will relate to this.

I debated answering the following quote. But I have been hacking my wii for years thanks to konami not giving a USA release to rondo on the wii virtual console. Basically if you don't own a wii and somehow obtain a way to do this, just buy it if you can (own a wii).  I just want EVERYONE to show our support to konami for releasing such a greate old school styled title.

I'm using a later build, but it does work with that build too. go to graphics (make sure it set to opengl), and go to advanced tab, and click the checkmark on copy EFB to GL texture (hack), should work then.

I've tried this game on the dolphin emulator too. The only problem I'm having is the speed ratio. It's too damn slow and my computer is an ANTEC 300 gaming rig! If there's a speed adjuster in the emulator could anyone direct me to it?

Just got the game...
really f'ing hard.  just like the old school games.
As has already been said, the game desperately needs a password feature.  Sorry but I don't have time to sit around and play this straight through.  We're not all 12 years old anymore, some of us have lives.  Throw us a bone, Konami!

So far I've been quite disappointed with the soundtrack.  It uses those damn shitty Genesis MOD samples that just suck balls.  I mean the melodies themselves are ok I guess, but the samples really bring the whole thing down a notch.  Can't say I'll be rockin out to this soundtrack on my iTunes anytime soon...

Have you been reading the thread??
There is a stage select screen. Hidden as a cheat thing.

At the title screen, have "New Game" selected. Then hold right for a while. Doing this will take you to the stage select screen, where you can select any level you reached
That means you don't have to complete a level for it to be added to the select screen.

As for the Music.. Well, we all have different taste
