Seriously, Curse of Darkness was a fucking atrocity. How any one could say that was good and hate on PoR or DoS is fucking beyond me. At least Lament of Innocence had a direct connection to the series, and a half way decent story to make you keep playing. Curse of Darkness on the other hand was complete and pure shit.

Pretty sure it's the old artist, Ayami Kojima.

You think? It looks somewhat similar, but I don't think it's her.

You're not following the Yoshi Conspiracy Theory.

See, Castlevania DoS and PoR would have been awesome hi-res 2D console games if not for the DS. But because the DS was there they made the 2D games on that and made shitty 3D ones on the console. In Yoshi's fantasy, the 3D ones wouldn't exist.

Frog understands. Fuck Igarashi.

I've finished every CV up to DoS, but after that? Fuck it. I'm tired of walking thru ludicrously large castles fighting shit loads the same monsters with none of the "crazy plethora" of unique items and hidden secrets/tricks that a full console release would allow.

Yoshi is right, CV died in the late 90's, I thought we saw a come back with CotM but Iga/Konami management had to run in and kick the series in the head again.

So what is Yoshi smoking then? Cause I'd like to get some of that.

QFT.

Anyway, I'm ready for another go 'round. I've largely enjoyed these handheld-vanias and welcome another.

You'll get no argument from me whatsoever on those. The difference is that they weren't wasted potential, because they had none to begin with.
