It unlocks characters, outfits, and hard mode.

Quarter of a century? It can't have been that long since the original...oh....oh no...

Then you won't be horrified at all to learn the original Castlevania was released on NES in 1987, right?

[–] EdibleFriend 41 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No that's the point I'm making. When I read the headline I was horrified that it's been that long since the original and they're not even talking about that.

Time is a son of a bitch.

NES releases don't bother me because I was still a kid when I played them. Things released twenty years ago bother me because it seems like yesterday given that I was already an adult with an established career and a mortgage.

That's fine until you tell me that's almost 40 years ago!

That's what it said in the title, a quarter century ago.

a konami code stratagem would be sick though

I would not be surprised if it just nuked the player

Take two steps to the side and you're safe

Has anyone played it? I wonder if its any good... I always thought that N64 game was generally considered one of those awful 3d renditions of a 2d classic.

[–] Jerkface 18 points 10 months ago

Castlevania 64 was clearly an unfinished game. The first couple levels make their ambitions clear, and the rest of the game is just sort of slapped together. Legacy of Darkness added the rest of the game.

Nobody really celebrates these games. I grew up with them and can appreciate the experience they were offering, but they weren't exactly my favorites, and I don't feel they aged particularly well. Maybe take a look through a long play video before committing any real time to it.

Good? No, definitely not.
