Played this on my NES, and had a great time. I’m not sure I had enjoyed it as much on other hardware - popping in the cartridge, it really felt like playing a great, old 8-bit game; like some hidden gem on the system that had evaded me. It wasn’t too easy, but nowhere near castlevania-difficult.

Looks amazing! I can't wait for the Switch version! Might have to get the steam one first just to check it out.
