This version of SOTN is kinda "weird". It's not quite the Sega Saturn version yet it has some extra stuff from that port. There's a few extra familiars and Maria can be used as a playable character after you beat it once. Other than that it's just SOTN "classic" with a few additional bells and whistles!

PS: Rondo Remake is HARD! I'm already shouting obscenities at it. lol. For the record the remake is mostly the same but it's now 2.5D graphics and the characters have been re-designed a tad.

I have to agree with you,Chris. So far the remake of Rondo is just "meh" to me. Some of the hit boxes seem a bit off too. Right now I'm trying hard to unlock the classic version. I wish they would have included SOTN and classic Rondo from the beginning instead of making me work my ass off for them! Fortunately I've already found SOTN!

It's true. Super CV 4 had some eargasmic music. I loved the track that played in the gold mines personally.

I'm actually happy you've kept busy,Ryan. Seems like you're wrapped up in some good times! Still, thanks for dropping in. I missed you,bro!

Yeah, you have to find the other games within "hidden places" within some of the Rondo Remake's levels,James. What tricky is this?!! Luckily I can just look up that stuff online!

Most people tend to gravitate towards sotn actually. It's a lot like "Super Metroid" in quite a few ways and that's likely why it hits a nostalgia sweet spot within most of us!

I'm fine with a smaller screen so long as the detail is there. I've actually been pleasantly surprised how most games look on the psp, JB! However,owning a vita probably would have spoiled me too. lol.

Yeah, Rondo has a spotted history,Matt. It's also strange how the most powerful character in a game about dark rituals,kidnappings,and vampires is a little girl in a pink dress who throws doves at her enemies. lol. Let that be a lesson,Drac! Don't piss off the little girls!

IV was great for the whip action. I liked how you could use Simon's weapon in any direction and employ it to latch onto things like chandeliers to swing across ravines. I also remember some of the levels would gradually rotate and when I was a kid I thought that was the coolest shit ever!

It's rare when an expansion has enough meat on its' bones to stand alone as a full sequel. It seems like firaxis is bringing that "old school generosity" back into play and I like it!
