How about a sequel?
In case you missed it, last year in June 2021, 505 Games and ArtPlay revealed they were in the "very early planning stages" for a Bloodstained sequel. Since then, the original game has received a number of crossover promotions and character updates. You can learn more in our existing coverage:

I got this back at launch, and unfortunately ran into bugs or something. I was quite enjoying it though. I think it might be time to revisit this when the Portal comes out, bring back a few of those Castlevania Advance memories.

Yeah, it was kind of crapshoot back then, IIRC. Some people were making it out just fine, others were hitting game ending bugs. To their credit, I think they fixed it relatively quickly, like a Jedi Survivor situation, maybe quicker.

Unlike Shenmue 3 and mighty No.9 this kickstarter was actually good and worth the hype

Nice. I'm a huge Metroidvania fan and I have this one on my wishlist.
What!? You hvnt played this yet!? This game imo is the best Metroidvania game. It's definitely a Symphony of the Night spiritual successor.
