So, again, the main point is to both encourage more talk about SNES in general in places like this, which is always a good thing imo, and hopefully make a few more people interested in and excited about potentially making something now for it also, be that a new game, a new development tool, some cool new demo or whatever. It's all just to show that the SNES is a lot more capable than I think the current narrative around the likes of YouTube, gaming forums, development blogs, fansites, etc, is leading a lot of people to believe, and that it's a system more than worth working on in modern times. This is the reason why I'm posting some "Is this game possible on SNES" threads, and why I posted my recent concept examples showing how Symphony of the Night could look on SNES, why I showed examples of Mode 3 high colours images, posted about the SNES' backgrounds modes, wrote an article detailing some of its unique hardware features and capabilities that many people simply don't fully understand and/or just ignore, created my own multi-layer parallax Mode 0 shmup examples, etc. And then, if these fake reasons are eliminated one at a time, it hopefully removes just a little bit more of the unnecessary barriers to some new SNES games and development tools happening. Because, from what I can tell, some people are actually using that as misguided reasoning not to work on new SNES stuff, which really isn't good. So, the first thing I'm doing is trying to do is demonstrate what I can to show that all these recent assertions, that the SNES can't do this or that thing but Genesis can (that's usually how it goes), are just plain false-even without the SNES using any enhancement chips in the carts. The idea is, in my own small way, to maybe help encourage the creation of some brand new SNES games and development tools just a little bit if possible. Castlevania and Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse are masterpieces: Gorgeous, goofy, twitch-fast platformers, as fun and accessible today as they were decades ago, matched only by the Super. Don't you not realise that unlike the Jag, the SNES actually has games? Gotta love these Jaguar style "What if" threads.
