Castlevania III specifically I'd say yeah haha. I like it though, it's a weird thing but I appreciate any Castlevania clone, even ripoffs, as long as it's well done :)

In 1989, Naoto Ohshima and Kotaro Hayashida began working on what would become Sonic the Hedgehog. Here is their story.

I'd sue his face if I could.

I had no idea it was disliked, especially when we are always hearing konami did no wrong in those days. Many people disagreed, that's interesting for sure. I was not one of those who saw those ties between botw and the 1st zelda, but zelda is always a hot topic not even the creators can agree upon😅

I can understand that. Being a huge fan of TLoMN for SNES which was my first of the series, when I saw this one I could feel GG 2 was kind of its core, graphically especially, so I like it better than the more basic 1st, as I feel it's closer to the snes one, which I am crazy for :P

It was a great game indeed, the second I played myself and the second than made it to the W>est after the legend of the mystical ninja for snes. I really recommend you try them all, it's an outstanding series by the best Konami there ever was.
