I completely disagree, and I'm a pretty big SotN fan. ;) The earlier Castlevanias, with the exception of 2, were merely "OK" for me. SotN is the only one I really adore, and I certainly don't miss the staid and boring whips.Originally Posted by Tetsu
I agree with Jay's assertion that CV4 is somewhat overrated. I also think Simon makes for one ugly sprite in that game.
As O2WilliamC pointed out on the old board, this lets you try to beat the game with only the crappy basic whip. Other than that though, yeah, that power-up system doesn't seem to have much reason to exist.Originally Posted by mauigamer
