I have already bought it for saturn, so i think i will pass this....

[Flame]

And this is an issue worth bringing up because...?

No really. How is this important?

Because:

Nocturne IS the Saturn Port, yes.

however, one thing that's interesting about it is this one track

Castlevania SOTN: (Saturn Version) ~ "Chaconne C Moll" (Cursed Prison)

While the new areas might not be all that great, and had shitty remixes in them, this tune is neat.

The updated Richter sprite is terrible, the graphics are all stretched and warped, and the only other additions are an extra hand, and Maria. Two novelties that wear off.

This isn't Megaman 8 where the bonuses in the Saturn Version were worth it, this is a shitty updated port.

I'd buy it, if they rereleased it for PSN or something. But much more I'd prefer if they made port of PS1 SOTN and added Saturn areas and Maria there. I loved to play as Maria in NITM. That was the only playthrough, when I wasn't bored.

[Puwexil]

The Saturn version ought to be forgotten. It is an awful, trashy mess to witness, both as a port in terms of technical prowess (a distinct lack thereof), and by the merits of its slapdash additions, except for maybe the jinmenju.

Now that you mention that, I'd prefer that too.

Also the God Speed Boots.

[Ahasverus]

I would buy if it only for the awesome Richter costume.

I almost feel like it'd probably be easier for them to have a dev team take the versions of SotN they already have offered on PSN and Xbox Live and just insert the added Saturn stuff in the exact same way the Saturn game had it, then release it separately, when compared to how difficult it would be to go through a porting process for the entire Saturn version of the game and work out all the bugs. Not sure if that's accurate or not though.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

What? I'm sorry but.... what? Nyhuh? O___o

[Super Waffle]

Interesting.  That was quicker than the others.

*rubs Super Waffle contentedly*

Anyways, Chaconne C Moll is one of my favorite CV tracks, actually. It doesn't get much attention, but it conveys a sensation of dread and dreariness really well, IMO.

[Bloodreign]

Hell to the no, I don't need this game a third time, twice is enough for me. The Saturn is a fine fine machine, but it's version of Nocturne isn't really that hot, nor do I want the PS1 version. I collect but would rather see the first 3 games along with the 16 bit games put onto a collection.

I quickly grew tired of SotN when it was on PSP after playing the PS1 version for a long long time. I'm not one for speedrunning, but I just wanted to get it over with.

[Corpsecrank]

I couldn't support it. You should stop dreaming about it also. I used to think it might be amazing too until I actually played it and saw how bad it sucked next to sotn. We got the better version for the better hardware no doubt.

If you are that eager to play a disgrace to the castlevania name then go grab a rom and emulator and see how bad it sucks for yourself. No point in having a crappier version of the game released in regions it was never ported to especially 12 years after the release.

I would much rather see a remake of sotn in HD on a modern system that would be the greatest thing that could happen as far as I am concerned since sotn was my favorite game of the series.

By the way when you finally get to play this disaster be sure to have a box of tissues so you have something to blow your nose on when you cry. The graphics and sound are that bad and the control is as awful as well.

The game uses dithering by the way so there is no smooth transparency in the game at all. So enjoy that.

Oh and before I forget. I know you heard the underground garden area is only in nocturn well that's because it didn't make the cut for sotn because it was crap too.

[Lumi Kløvstad]

I'm guessing you didn't like it? Of course... emulators tend to inferior-ate anything on them, so I don't think I'll be emulating anything.

I think you put too much dark colours.
While NITM is technically inferrior to the SOTN, when it comes to graphics it is not that bad / awful / ugly / whatever. It's not like they cut down on colours or reduced areas or something really disastrous. It is worse, but not that much. Besides gameplay is the same, so it is definitely not an abomination as you try to present it.
On the bright side: it didn't have awful english voices, so it is one, albeit, minor thing where NITM shines.

And you can prove it?
