Castlevania Advance Collection is so Good on Deck! (lemm.ee)

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.

I've emulated the GBA games in the past. I think the port is actually very well put-together as far as emulated games go. I do wish the menu with savestates were a little snappier.

I only tried to emulate the DS games once or twice. I'm sure DS emulation is better now, but it was really rough, then.
