November 2017 Game of the Month: Kid Dracula

[A Former User]

We could determine it a couple ways I guess...

• Most achievements?

• Fastest to the achievement of beating the game without passwords or continues?

[meleu]

Each one that completed the challenge suggest a game and we set a poll. My suggestion is Batman Returns (SNES).

I’m going to suggest The Firemen(SNES). Haven’t really played it before but it looks very good and has some cheevos.

@lilbud Thx - setted my vote :)
I have time in my vacation soon so - why not be a play a game with a huge world? ... Btw: In europe the game title != gaia == time ;)

So my vote: Illusion of time

[A Former User]

I’ve got two weeks before my new job begins so I’d be good with Illusion of Gaia or Firemen(my vote). Can definitely sink a little time into a game right now. :)

[lilbud]

Voting is over and Illusion of Gaia (SNES) is the winner!!!

Illusion of Gaia

I've never played that game but have wanted to. This is a perfect reason to try it out.

[obsidianspider]

I'm only a few minutes in, and honestly, I didn't expect this at all.

[Brigane]

@obsidianspider What did you expect? ;)

[lilbud]

Reviving this mainly because of the Nintendo Direct and Castlevania characters and stages getting into the newest Smash Bros game.

Over on Twitter, someone recognized a shadow belonging to a certain character.

[lilbud]

Kid Dracula is getting an official english release as part of the Castlevania Anniversary Collection.

[celly]

@lilbud awesome! Do you know if it’ll get a physical release or just a digital?

[lilbud]

@celly I think just digital

And in true Konami fashion, they f**ked this one up

Terrible ports, poor performance on really nice hardware, no button remapping and only one save slot.

I'm just waiting for the inevitable rom dump of Kid Dracula

I know it's half a year late, but with the recent release of the collection, I might as well play it. I first played it around 2001 when I discovered emulators, but it just didn't click.
