Despite Castlevania: Symphony of the Night being one of my all-time favorite video games, I've never finished it after all these years. Mostly because I'm not very good at old-school platformers. (See also: Mega Man and Metroid.)

I think it's more that I like the idea of Castlevania in general. All the gothic vampire lore and whatnot. The original Castlevania for NES is another of my favorite video games, but I can't remember if I ever defeated even the first boss in it.

Part of my attachment to Symphony of the Night is that it was one of my very first games for the original PlayStation, so it carries lots of nostalgia for me. And of course, it has one of the greatest video game scores of all time, by Michiru Yamane. I may never finish the game, but I'll be listening to its music forever.

@count_bobby @joel #AriaOfSorrow is still my favourite #Castlevania, played #SymphonyOfTheNight years later and enjoyed that very much as well.

We're live and playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The twist? It's a randomizer. Come and hang out with us!

Obviously, the best way to take a #dive for your #Pixel_Dailies is to find the hilarious water traversal "relic" from #SymphonyOfTheNight (https://castlevania.fandom.com/wiki/Holy_Symbol).
To match the diving theme, I decided to share a one-piece swimsuit design for my #PixelArt #kisekae (in #Pico8 colors). When I laid out the image, I realized the snorkel would almost perfectly fit the doll, so I modified it a bit and added it to the outfit. I hope you enjoy this funny little #MastoArt post.

Oh hey, look, here's my interview/discussion with Pigsy! You know, the guy working on the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night demake for the Genesis / Mega Drive! Listen to us gab about semi-relevant things for about an hour and 45 minutes!

Full disclosure: I created several of the songs being used in the game.

Ahora entiendo la relevancia del Symphony of the Night

Si bien hoy algunos detalles como el control o el diseño de bosses se pueden ver un poco toscos hay que entenderlo en el contexto de la época, en cualquier caso sigue siendo un juego brillante, lleno de carisma y secretos que descubrir. Aporta además al género toque de progresión rolera y un mundo con mucha personalidad propia, que inspira a metroidvanias futuros.

Además, ese giro que tiene el juego (figurado y literal) es brillante, multiplicando su contenido cuando parecía que lo había dado todo, y dando un pico de dificultad bien necesitado cuando ya vas estando OP.

Siempre me he preguntado por qué se habla de género 'metroidvania' y no simplemente género Metroid, ya que los Metroid son bastante anteriores a Symphony of the Night y yo pensaba que sentaron las bases.

Pero bueno, nunca he jugado al SotN, así que voy a probarlo para ver qué aportó al género y por qué es tan influyente.
