Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is pretty easy.

I love Lord Jesus, Family Matters (for Steve & Laura which I typed up a beautiful alt from Just One Date episode) and FFIX (for Zidane & Garnet).

Castlevanias are too hard. Just like Metroid and Dark Souls. No consideration for people who suck at videogames.

Its the kickback damage.

I think there is a mod that removes all pits from the game.

Which ones? The oldest ones are pretty tough, sure, but the Metroidvanias often struggle to create a good difficulty curve.

Cheats exist, both inside games and out. No shame in using them, as long as you aren't doing so to the point that you suck all the fun out of things. Infinite life cheats are nice for oldschool games, they sort of feel like training wheels. Some of the old Castlevanias actually come with cheats baked into them; I recommend looking them up. If he's playing the metroidvanias, a money or drop rate cheat might help him out without breaking the game.

Imo, Castlevania 1 is about as hard as a NES game can get while still being pretty fair. Much further than that and you start running into design choices that make the player want to tear their hair out.

There isn't a single Metroid game I'd call hard. Classic Castlevania games are hard, but not the Metroidvanias.

I don't remember struggling too much with Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin when I was younger, but Order of Eclessia was a fair bit harder.

Both are too hard for me to complete, but I've come much closer to beating some Castlevanias than Metroids. At least in Castlevanias(for the most part) it's obvious where to go. In the original Metroid, I have no idea where to go. I hate choices.

Yeah, I still couldn't get to the last boss on CV3 with that code on the OG NES. Thank god for states!

Unless you're loaded, save your money, and wait for sales. This isn't the 90's anymore, and most games don't become hard to find. And don't pre-order.

OoE is definitely the most difficult of the Metroidvanias. It was legit hard at the start, none of the others are like that. Its also one of my favorites.

for the person who mentioned the luck code for SOTN, I reckon it only works for the play-through after beating it the first time. and dying wont be too much of an issue if you work on gaining levels early on, but I guess there are speed runners, etc. that dont have time for such a thing
