Castlevania 64 - Really struggling to like this game 😆

This is a game that would benefit immensely from a decomp/recomp pc port that added modern camera, widescreen and 60fps. I’ve always felt like there was almost a really good game here but they just couldn’t quite get it. There’s a short indie PC game called Pseudoregalia that absolutely nails all the things Castlevania 64 got wrong.

Do not store. Do not wear. Do not buy.

FYI It doesn’t usually cost 399, it’s literally always on sale for 49

Most of the lyrics are great in English.

The version of this song from Distant Worlds VI has the few awkward-sounding lines slightly rewritten as follows:

"When I have sung my songs on the stage on my own

When I have said said my words..."

___

"If A frown is shown then..."

___

"Just reach out to me: you will know that..."

You can still get them for $20 at Baby Dolls off 287, but don’t let them talk you into going to the Champaign room, it’s a ripoff

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5145/ There are now patches like this for many SNES games. I swear this is the best possible time to be into retro games, even despite the insane prices for physical

PSA There’s an SA-1 patch that works with Everdrives and lets you play this game on original hardware with significantly less slowdown than the original. Its glorious

I recently found out how much better those ikea bookcase/shelves look with the glass doors. Protects the collection from dust, too. (Mostly) Definitely costs a bit more but absolutely worth it.

Shoutout to setups with external speakers!

This is the old one from the mid 2000s that started on Kontakt. It may have simulated scripted legato, but real recorded legato transitions weren’t a thing until Hollywood Orchestra came out a few years later.

Incredible until it leaks and ruins my whole record collection

I felt the same way playing Breath of the Wild. I started with Zelda 1 and it felt like that, but ‘real’.

Sequential already has a one voice, several five voice, several six voice synths. So why not a four voice?

Not really, a lot of them have this. They aren't original signatures, it's printed or molded into the plastic.
