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.

It's good, but beware the OG DS version. There's a tacked-on minigame when you beat a boss that requires you draw a symbol on the screen to finish the fight. If you mess it up, the boss comes back to life (not full anyway) and you have to kill them again. Early bosses aren't so bad, but later bosses have some ridiculously complex symbols to draw. It's infuriating and stupid. I'm sure the new release does away with them in some manner.

Good to know! I’ll check that out. I remember hearing something about this in a review.
