I’ve finished all the games more than once on various hardware, but the collection only became playable on Steam Deck relatively recently. They’re so much better there!
Any lovers of Metroidvanias or platformers in general owe it to themselves to check it out. Since they were originally GBA games, they scale to the Steam Deck’s screen very well and don’t hurt my old-man’s eyes at all.
Great experience! Can’t wait to check out the Dominus collection when I’m done with these. I’ve played through those a few times on OG hardware as well. I bet they’re so much better on Deck! I really hope they’ve removed the awful touch screen boss capture mechanic in Dawn of Sorrow. I imagine they must have given these are playable on PC, and doing them with a mouse would be just short of impossible.
The Steam versions are usually less expensive than hunting down the game cartridges and the hardware necessary to copy the contents to a PC ;)
That’s true. But there are legit ways to purchase Roms and extract them for use in your favorite emulator. In example the SNES Classic console from Nintendo, or the Genesis and Sega Games collection on Steam. If I were to buy Castlevania Advance, I would probably extract the Roms for use in RetroArch.
