Like almost every castlevania game but Dawn of Sorrow is my favorite

[@CalebMichaelRiley]

Dawn of Sorrow is a very special game for sure. Really felt like a true Spiritual successor to SoTN! Thanks for watching and your comment!

Have the castlevania collection, gba collection and now this too. All physically on switch. Amazing collections ESPECIALLY this one. Would LOVE symphony of the night on switch. Imagine a nice remaster. Goodness the potential is there indeed. Great upload mate. Cant wait to dive into this when my copy arrives.

[@CalebMichaelRiley]

Thanks so much for watching and leaving your comment! SoTN is really my favorite game of all time and then honestly, these games. Such a magnificent collection of top tier games! IGAVania for life!!!

man, you put this video nicely. props to you

[@CalebMichaelRiley]

Thank you so much for watching! Are you a fan of Castlevania? If so which is your favorite?

It's hard to believe that OoE is already like 16 years old. You mentioned that you're not sure how they could properly recreate the MV era of Castlevania without Iga, but I would say it wouldn't be that hard to do. Reason being, we're so far out from that era that there are probably plenty of game designers now who grew up playing and studying his games. I would think they could find someone who would give that job the reverence and attention to detail that it would deserve. I hope so, anyway. Nothing would please me more than getting another trilogy, or an updated version of SOTN and Rondo in Switch.

[@CalebMichaelRiley]

Wow that’s a really good point! Do many people and designers in particular are probably inspired by him and his work, which is evident by more recent games. There is just something so magical about them and it’s not just nostalgia in my opinion. I really want just an HD Full Screen “Pixel Perfect “ remastered SoTN, that’s it! 😂 Thanks for checking out the video!

I played all three DS games when they originally released, and i can say this is easily the best of the Castlevania collections.

[@CalebMichaelRiley]

Agreed! What’s your favorite of the 3?

Nice review Caleb!

[@CalebMichaelRiley]

Thanks brother! Hope you are well!

Honestly pretty much any action game with mandatory touch screen sections on the DS or 3ds took a massive hit to my enjoyment level. (I have medical issues making drawing precisely , and drawing even remotely well fast a nightmare so I'm glad the touch screen controls are optional in this. Honestly I think the touch screen sections are the main reason Dawn= of Sorrow isn't my favorite Castlevania (Just like I'm certain The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks would be in three my favorite Zelda games, and Phantom Hourglass in my top five instead of both barely escaping my bottom five including all the spinoffs I've played and the three CDI games if the touch screen controls were optional) I still wonder why the lone 3DS native Castlevania isn't in this though.

[@CalebMichaelRiley]

Wow that is a really unique take and perspective. It would be nice if the touch screen parts were “auto-finish” especially in regard to the Sigils in DoS. I found personally, that it really didn’t enhance the gameplay by having those sections in, as it seemed like a gimmick. I’d IGAvanians just want that core game play, luckily these 3 games have that down! Thanks for watching a sharing! Look forward to hearing more from you!

[@LargeCheesee]

Awesome!!

[@CalebMichaelRiley]
