I don't think each area takes hours to reach... but a lot of things he mentioned are valid.

I love 2d side scrollers in Castlevania.

[Profbeanburrito]

Well, I personally love them. 2-D Sid Scrollers are my favorite games...I'll play them over just about any newer 3D game and I absolutely love that sense of exploration. Still as far as the Metroidvania type goes, I don't think anything can beat Super Metroid

I gotta agree, as much as I like Samus, I never liked her games all that much.

[Genya Arikado]

Samus is awsome, but Castlevania is better.
I liked the 3D castlevanias but the 2D had a certain feel to them that I liked.

I liked the Ayami Kojima art over the crap anime art.

[Dark Nemesis]

I really like Super Metroid as much as Castlevania!!

[Genya Arikado]

Castlevania has a better story.

[Dark Nemesis]

So does Metroid!!!!

[Kale]

they both can't have better story than the other, thats a paradox.

or rather, contradiction.

Name any 2D Castlevania .

Circle of the moon, Harmony of Dissonance, Dawn of Sorrow, And Portrait of Ruin are not better than Super Metroid. I'd Say Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow are like one step below Super Metroid, Still amazing games, I just don't think they're as good. But, thats just my opinion.

I dissagree, but that's fine.

I love the 2D side scrolling CastleVania games. I'm a big fan of the older games. Like CV1, 2, 3 and 4. I'd like to see a new game with Stage by stage, something like CVIII, but with todays DS graphics. But with new spries. I don't really like that they use the 1993 Chi no Rondo sprites even today... It's pretty amazing that they use sprites made 15 years ago... Why don't Square-enix reuse thier sprites from Final Fantasy VI xD But anyway... I know why they re used most of the sprites in DoS, that was couse a tight deadline, so they just too the enemys fron SotN couse they did'nt have time to make new ones... I really hope they make new, forexapmle skeleton sprites... I've seen those in the games for a bit too long now. I am kinda spriter so I know that it can take time making a sprite sheet, and for a whole game with 100th of sprites that will take sometime. I hope they make alot of new sprites and enemys and even new bosses in the next CV game.

and by the way... CastleVania is better than Metroid
