So, do you still have to walk block by block and throw holy water to find the hints? Or did they change that, too?
I can't put my finger on why throwing fire on each bush in Zelda is any different, or if it's no different at all, any takers?
The hints are poor and there was no map because NoA wanted to sell issues of Nintendo Power, which had printed both.

Castlevania II is a Konami game. If they gave a fart they would have included their own map (either printed or ingame), regardless of Nintendo Power's wishes.
Fact is, that game was lazily translated and kicked out the door with a minimum of cost and effort.

Never saw one but I guess I should have figured it had bad reviews. Man that was a great game with a great OST and a lot of potential for a sequel. Definitely one of coolest action games I've ever played. Maxed everything out in that game lol.
Shame it wasn't better received.

So here's the deal on CV II. I read an interview a coupe of years ago and the director said in the planning stages the whole thing was that Dracula's power had corrupted everyone near where his body parts were, hence even in the JP version, everyone that you spoke to, spoke lies. The hints were still there just not how they were supposed to be. In the JP manual there is A MAP which was omitted for the US release. Why? Who knows, a lot of the poor translation is also what fucked up the game as well. The core gameplay is still there, i.e. holy water to open bricks and such. I'll get a link to the "remix" of the game to show you what was changed, I'm playing it on my PSP right now and can't wait to get my Everdrive so I can play it on the Famicom. Also, for the record, the FDS music sucks compared to the US release.

This 100% and you can thank the Finnish for the translation.

I really likes Star Fox Assault on the GameCube. Sure the on foot sections sucked. But if you ignore those. The flying sections are great!

I've come to this revelation two hours ago.
3 Count Bout.
It went from being "difficult to the point of being unplayable" to "easiest Neo Geo clear of all time".
AUTOFIRE SUPLEX

I think it's time to teach King of the Monsters a lesson in humility. Com can button mash faster than me? Let's see how it fares at 30 BPS.
I think I just had an epiphany, maybe this is how it's supposed to be played.

No, definitely not Garou. I know what you mean as I remember the quote but can't remember the game.
