I'll let everyone else praise the game...I need to address something here. I coined the term "SOTN Syndrome" to describe the imbalance between the player's strength/skill and the game difficulty. I wouldn't have made up a term if it wasn't that bad! Igarashi, I beg you, DO NOT make the same mistake you made with SOTN. Challenge is part of what makes CV what it is...I think we can all agree that not only do we want another 2D Castlevania on consoles, but we want one that isn't a total cakewalk! Yeah, a lot of people love SOTN, but it's important to point out its flaws so Igarashi is aware of them. Otherwise, CV's return to consoles will be disappointing (for me, anyway). Despite all the praise, SOTN was not a perfect game...it was overrated, even. But I say this out of love for the series--give us another 2D CV game on consoles, but don't insult us. You know who your audience is, so you should also know that we've (most likely) been...

First one in!
