whoah whoah whoah.....hold your horses there...in NO WAY is castlevania a metroid ripoff.....maybe youre comparing symphony of the night..which is prolly the 13th castlevania sequel...

castlevania,  with the exception of simons quest and sotn,  has been a game in which you must battle through a level then beat a boss at the end of that level...metroid is not like that at all...

and the crappy n64 versions were 3d..something metroid has never been...and shouldnt be...

Well, I thoughroughly played Circle Of The Moon and I can safely say that it is a Metroid clone.

In Metroid, you fight bosses, upgrading your health and weapons and capabilities, have this little pods to save in which are the only places where you can save(besides the ship), and has a dark atmosphere to it.

In COTehMoon, you fight bosses, upgrade your health and other statuses by gaining experience, upgrade your weapons and capabilities, have these weird circle things to save in as the only place where you can save, and has a dark atmosphere to it.

The only difference in gameplay is that Metroid has a gun and CV has a wip and in CastleVania you can gain experience points.

That sounds like a clone to me, even though it\'s a good clone. :)

Jumpman,

Before you accuse CV of being a Metroid rip-off, learn your roots. If Circle of the Moon is the first Castlevania game you\'ve gone through, then you have no right to make that absurd and incorrect assumption.

castlevania has been around for ever....im not sure which came out first or if they both came out at the same time...on the NES...metroid has only had 3 parts...while castlevania has had a million....and theyve all had similarities and differences between one another....perhaps it seems as if some elements are similar to those of metroid,  but i can almost guarantee that konami did not rip them off....

besides..you obviously havent played the rest of them...

why not say Metroid Prime is a rip off of Half-Life ?

Well zelda has never been a cartoon game.  Zelda was on of the first nintendo game released. It was the first to sell one million copies. It started all the huge popularity in nintendo games. Zelda started it all. I mean even though mario was right on his heals link held his own and was the first game on SNES to sell 1million copies also.

I remember Ganon and the triforce of power. I remember fighting my way through all 8 dungeons in the game. I remember playing this game for hours and hours trying to get all the hidden treasures and pieces.
Just think of zelda 2 now nintendo went all out of tradition with link with this one and it could have been the best game on nes but it had it\'s problems. But then we see that nintendo was trying to mature link. Nintendo really had something going with zelda 2 and I liked the idea. The game had more harder edge to it.

But in zelda 3 which is the best out of the series to me they went back to tradition. But with all the evil eliments and dungeons I just don\'t see zelda a quote on quote"Kiddy game"  I mean your fighting in dugeons. You got all these weapons and sourcery around you. I mean mario is true kiddy. I would put zelda just above that. Not that I am saying zelda is hardcore as a silent hill or something but is not as kiddy as a mario.
And OOT on n64 you could clearly see that link was heading in an even more mature stage. I mean it had some great moments in the game.  

I just don\'t like this new cartoonish link...it just seems they are trying to go to kiddy with the game. And abandon all ideas they had of taking link to a more mature level. That zelda demo got so many positive responses. I mean it had everyone raving over Nintendo. I mean is that not the respons you want out of a game?

Jumpman, before you label the CastleVania series as a rip-off, play the originals. They was strictly platform based (\'cept 2) . I will give you that SOTN and Circle of the Moon are Metriod rip-off\'s though . Just don\'t label the whole series that, because CastleVania has been around before Metriod was even thought of.

Fine then, I was wrong, so I\'ll rephrase what I said:

The newer, and supposedly better CastleVanias are Metroid rip-offs.

Satisfied?

Sorry but i have never read soo much Crap in all my life, it now seems like your avarage GC fan is now sitting in a dark room rocking back and forth saying to themselfs

"its ok it will be all right !...........its ok it will be all right !.............its ok it will be all right !...............its ok it will be all right !"

over and over and over again !

ok lets lake a REALISTIC View on this one.

What they did I.E. Nintendo and Mr Zelda himself was very very wrong !

its not that the game now looks like it was drawn by a group of 4 year olds, but the fact they choise to use the Lure and bait method to Sucker everyone who was waiting this game.

To put it in prospective !

it\'s like Mr Hideo releasing a second moive of MGS2 at E3 2001 where insted of the lush environmental effect, realistic player and enemy modiles and a AI to kill for.

He opted to get rid of it all and have it run in 2D with a "solid" Snake who\'s balls haven\'t even dropped yet !

FFS Nintendo what are you doing..... at this rate in another 5 years or so with the next line of Zelda games, we can expect to see a little Link Sperm swimming around  in someones Testicles !



now lets look that the evolution of Zelda through the ages !

First 2 Zelda games (i.e Pre Super Nintendo)
World All 2D
Link in 2D
ok now they look a bit dated my todays standards but the gameplay is there, if a little limited to one screen at a time.
Grpahic where very simple bitmaps but they did the job.


Zelda (super Nintendo)
World All 2D
Link in 2D
Zelda on the Super Nintendo was THE game that convinced me in getting one.

The graphic where improved and even environmental factors such as Fog and Rain where added. The Cartoon graphics where enhanced by the full use of colours and it real did feal like you where playing somthing special !

Zelda Both titles on the (N64)
World Nealy Full 3D with the exsption of some of the stages like the market place where in 2D.
Link both young and old 3D.
This again we that Main Reason why i bought a N 64 !
The game play and graphics have eveolved into 3D and to match the story line the game itself developed into a more darker story line. Also as a result players are now given the chance to explore anywhre they see in Hyrule, See death mountain from the fields you can climb and enter it !, Night and day pass andthe only main Flaw with it was the lack of Enemyes a little more would of been nice to fight.

Zelda Gamecube Pree Spaceworld.....


now, i have to say that the pre-spaceworld trailer of the NEXT Zelda game had the vast magority of my friends to want to wait for a NGC. Most of them have even pre ordered it and no one i kink whould buy a X box due to this fact !

"Look at the detail " they would constantly say.

you can see the vains on the back of links hands they would shout !

well yesterday i showed them both the Screens and movies of the NEW ZELDA !

and i have to say their reaction was at first.

"is this some kind of JOKE ? "

then

"Ow God what have they Done"

infact every one that has seen it has either :laughing:  :crying: or walked away in total rage.

ok the main point of what i am going to say is .....(reason for it being  in large red bold.
 
The true fact of the matter is that what we have seen with the Zelda games it the EVOLUTION of both Graphics and Gameplay to match the desire of the Fan. Now what they have done is to take a backstep in the graphics department and a total regretion in the over alll age of the gamer that this game will appeal to.

So will this like soo many other Nintendo plans, Alienate
even more would be gamers........... well i for one think YES !
 


It looks like for the more mature gamer that we have out grown Link and his friends.

and i for one hope that Nintendo Burn In Silicon HELL along with all the photocopyers for this one!


If this Links True Awakening..... then i am beigning to wish that He DIED in HIS SLEEP !

Sorry it\'s just Zelda i have a problem with, and seeing that it was one of THE games i WAS goingto get..... the chances of me getting a NGC at Launch Date is very doutful.

Shuddap. For someone who keeps calling GameCube the "GayCube", you don\'t seem to old yourself.

For someone that feels Nintendo caters to just Children this post doesn\'t make you seem much older. Seriously there are other ways to express your "anger" than to take the fanboy way out and use clever takes on the Gamecube\'s name to make homophobic jokes.
