Topic: Best SOTN

[Mathias Hyperion]

Yes, another poll.

I have a 360, but I think two SOTNs will do for now. I'm not long starting on the PSP version and I don't really have the hardcore dedication to have gotten very far in the PS one despite having had it for over a year, so I can't really offer an educated opinion.

The Sega Saturn version is my favorite.

PSP version is buggy as hell.

Easily PSP. An amazingly kick-ass Maria as a playable character just makes makes it far superior to others, as well as the much better VA and script and the best part is it is portable. Portable!!

Too bad maria is weak in the PSP version and is full of bugs.

She is still awesome.

Gotta show some love for the PSOne version. It's a classic.

[Profbeanburrito]

eh, NitM is terrible.....the extra levels suck and so does Maria....I'm just going to have to say PS1 especially for:

R: Die Monster you don't Belong in this world
D: It was not by my hand that I'm once again given flesh!
    I was called here by humans, who wish to pay me tribute!
R: Tribute?! You Steal men's souls and make them your slaves!
D: Perhaps the Same could be said of all Religions....
R: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs
    a savior such as you!
D: What is a man?! A miserable little pile of secrets! But enough talk, have at you!

That's enough to win my vote

Seems most people who dis the Saturn version have never actually even played it themselves.

I'd take a little slow-down and tons of exclusive extras over a version with multiple bugs that cause the game to crash.

I own every version in the poll, and PSP is my fave. The smoothest, best controls, and I like the new Maria. NITM, well, even with all the extras, it just seems too slow and could have better controls. If it weren't for that, NITM and PSP would be equal for me.

The PSX original's has the least content (the two missing familiars, no Maria, no extra areas or items) and the 360 is missing even more (no movies or I am the Wind!).

I played nitm and beat it as everyone. And I didn't really like it. Most of the extras were lame, the visuals were pretty ugly and the slowdown made it feel really sluggish sometimes to the point of annoyingly boring. And not even maria, the only highlight of that port saved it due to some of the stupid ideas such as the screen pausing to cast spells.

That said, i didn't play the psp one so i can't speak about it, so my favorite'll be the psx original japanese. It's like the usa, only better due to the lack of censorship and changes. Only needs english text really.

Never played Saturn version..

So between PSP and PSX version, I have to choose PSX mainly for the voice acting. I miss Alucard sounding like Laurence Fishburne.

 

[The Last Belmont]

PSP, original dub kicks the crappy english one's ass. 

[Mathias Hyperion]

Have I just gotten too used to DXC/Rondo, or is the fact that tapping X causes Alucard to jump not very high and you need to hold it down to get the full jump height new to the PSP version?

[Donvermicelli]

PSOne version, the reason I chose that above NITM is because the extra area's there seem too out of place and cartoony compared to the others. (JAP version of the PSX version though)
