Topic: Castlevania The Adventure ReBirth discussion

[Verdegrand]

Hi!
I didn't realize that there was also a remix of that short tune in ReBirth. Don't like that particular remix, it lacks the tranquility of the original. I looked at a video of the first stage and I'm a bit disappointed. Sure it's really great for a castlevania game, but it doesn't have anything to do with The Adventure besides some hints regarding the enemy design, and even those weren't used to the fullest. You don't have to use the explosion effect of the rolling eyes to advance, which you had to in stage 2 of the original Adventure if I'm not mistaken. I am also really wishing for a hard copy of this game. Because for me, this would be the only reason to buy a wii and I would really want a physical copy.

PS interesting details about CV4, didn't know most of that! Very interesting. The difference in the sounds of the whip is astounding! It creates a completely different 'feel' of the gameplay, although it's just a small detail.

I wonder how much money Konami's able to make on a title like this?  Wonder how it compares to what they made for Judgment?

How can I save this game during gameplay or after dying? I can't save the game. Even I can save Mega Man 9 normal way.

No saves. Not one. But on the plus side, there's a level select cheat that let's you go to stages you've already beaten.

At the main menu, have the poinetr att "New Game", then HOLD right on the d-pad a while.. (I think it's like that) and you will be taken to a stage select screen.

Only got to play the American version of CV IV years later on emulator (or maybe at a friend house near the time who had a PAL copy, can't quite recall) . . .  but what a hell of a difference those little things make.  Never realised those gravestones were the same though.  Well spotted Jorge!

So I just finished the game, and it wasn't that great compared to the other classics. Sure it was fun, but the environments and boss fights just felt rather bland compared to Rondo, SCV4, and Bloodlines. The final battle with Dracula was also nothing special, in fact its close to the bottom of the best Dracula battles in my opinion. It didn't really do anything wrong, its just that it felt like it lacked polish. The environments were very lifeless and empty, some of the boss battles just felt mechanical. It felt like if they should have spent more time to touch it up graphically and add more detail. In the end though, I still enjoyed it more than Ecclesia.

Yeah he graphics come off as looking rushed and unprofessional. This is the type of thing you'd expect to see from a fan game rather then a konami game. But even then the fans would try to make an effort not to disappoint the target audience.

I don't about the Dracula battle. I thought his 3rd form was very different and refreshing.

[Profbeanburrito]

Don't know if this was discussed and I'm not about to look through the many pages to find it, but did anyone know if you play Adventure Rebirth with the Wii-Mote and Nunchuck you can attack by flicking the Wii-Mote? Maybe this is IGA's way of testing out motion controls

[Munchy]

Dracula's final form was cool looking, but they really missed the boat on not having Dracula attack you from suspended platforms over spikes, like in Castlevania Adventure.

[X]

That fight was BRUTAL!

Might be a bit late, I dunno.. but:

AT LAST!!!!
The Adventure Rebirth have reached Europe!!!!

I downloaded it yesterday, and it is awesome.. I only reached level 4 this far, and I love it!

[RichterB]

Finally acquired REBIRTH!

I cranked it up to Hard right off the bat, and I've only been able to get to Level 2's boss. I like this A LOT so far. I'm feeling this is probably better than all the GBA and DS games. Not as good as CV IV, but it might be better than Rondo (it has more variety and challenge in the stages). It's aesthetic is sort of a Bloodlines meets Circle of the Moon. Fun times. I like all the "Adventure" homages in it--eyeballs, zeldos, punigachi-like projectile-spitters, etc. I liked the floating blocks that bob from Simon's Quest returning here, too. Plus, the music is fantastic.

I purchased Rebirth on the day of release and can't even finish it. The game is fucking boring. Total step backwards from Super Castlevania 4 and Rondo of Blood.
