THIS!

If you don't mind the fact that a good chunk of the stages auto scroll then, this is a gem of a game. Good graphics, fun power ups. Little details. Having a lil Hana Taaka as your side gun is pretty awesome.

Dracula X, lol

Dracula X, lol

A little confused by the lol.

Is it because you're suggesting it because it's excellent even though I said I owned it.

Is it because I refer to the game as Dracula X instead of Rondo of Blood? If so that's just because when I imported the game from Diehard many years ago when it came out that's what the gaming magazines were calling it - Dracula X. That's just what I'm used to. Hey I'm 45, hard for old dogs to learn new tricks 

Or was it for a different reason? Just curious - I hate feeling like I'm missing something.

lol, because noone else mentioned it so far, except you in your initial post. it sure is one of the best platformer out there, platform wise, in whole history of video game, and beyond of that, ever

The next Castlevania needs to be nothing BUT platforms, that's it. You fall you die. HARDCORE!!!

Jungle Bros.


...what?

Ninja Spirit is definitively my favorite, with Legendary Axe in a close second.

Yeah I was just looking at that earlier when I was checking out the homebrew section of these forums  it looked interesting. I liked the Mario-esque backgrounds. Not sure how I feel about the lead character yet.

Last year I saw a very cool homebrew NES game called Super Bat Puncher. I looked and sounded great and the play machanics and level design were very nice. I think the guy plans to even put out some actual NES carts when completed. Last I heard though the project is limbo right now. Seems like that happens more often than not with these HB games.

The New Zealand Story.  I absolutely love that game.  A great difficulty curve, but it gets VERY hard.  However, there's a ton of secrets (warps etc) to help you if you can find them.  A fantastic game.  And a +1 for Pac Land too.

This looks cool. Might just have to get it. My PCE library is pretty small compare to TG and looking to add to it.

[Tatsujin]

Good thing, Genji Tsūshin Agedama is also a very cheapy to get.

Really, where because it's going for $60 to $80 on eBay.

Even though I haven't tried too many platform games on the system, I quite like Legendary Axe and its advance-stop and think-charge and slash mechanics.
