Yep. League's a simpler variation that's pretty fun to watch too. Easier to understand than union, I'd say.

Rugby League sounds dope. Why don't they make a game of that? They made four FIFA Street, for Christ's sake, so give Rugby League a chance.
No, I won't look up whether or not there already is one.

But way more fun and not just penalties and scrums every 20 seconds.
I really dislike IV, it just feels kinda floaty and messy in a way that no other Classicvania was, and I think eight-way whipping was bad for the series. I'm a big super-picky baby when it comes to Castlevania physics, haha.
Rondo, though. What a game. It's the only 16-bit 'vania to nail the physics in the same way manner as the NES games (well, the good ones), it adds a few new twists on the gameplay (backflips, dude! backflips! extendo-whip inputs!) and it compliments them with some of the most ball-bustingly difficult level designs in the history of video games. If it had been an arcade cabinet and I needed to punch in a quarter for every death, I'd have singlehandedly financed the development of Symphony of the Night-- and yet I couldn't put the controller down, nor would I ever give in to temptation and play as Maria to make things easier on myself. The game was too tight, too much a joy to play for me to quit.
And then you realize every level has a secret exit that leads to an alternate stage and there's a whole other game still lying in wait... and it's even harder. Rondo of Blood is game with deceptive amount of meat on its bones, and it's all your favorite cuts. You grill it up and eat it and you can't believe how bloody it still tastes and when you're done you realize your mouth is bleeding because the steak was full of broken glass but you can't really be mad about that fact because you just ate the best steak of your life.

I guess going from the original games to IV would give someone that reaction, but I think the looser feel and the diagonal whipping is a part of the game's appeal. As I said, it's the perfect Castlevania to start with, and it's because those factors you mentioned pretty much make it training wheels for the classics of the series, with some amazing music to boot. I'm not too fond of the SNES sound chip, but SCIV is pretty much a showpiece for the thing.
(also a good hockey game is better than the best castlevania)
(I mean actual hockey not video game hockey but NHL 94 cuts it pretty close)

It's nice to see that the chat comments are so supportive of Samantha. It's a stark contrast to how Withelde is treated by twitch chat on the GDQ streams. Of course, twitch chat is awful no matter what, so I guess that has something to do with it.

well it doesn't hurt that those in the chat that aren't supportive would be almost immediately silenced

I am enjoying peanut M&Ms right now. I am going to Sweden later in the year. I must find the saltiest of salty sweets.

And their baseball games don't even make it out if Japan. Fuck I want English Power Pros. I would be fine with Japanese teams.

you make a free to play bomberman for every platform where the microtransactions are tied to customization for your bomberman, throw in other hudson (and konami) mascots like in saturn bomberman, add a procedurally generated single player mode, and you call it a fucking day
