>Why did Iga get so butthurt at this game, to the point where he retconned it?
The thing is, Igarashi absolutely doesn't give a shit about anything but lore and aestethics (in a game series about vampire hunters storming a castle to beat dracula of all things). So you can easily see why CotM triggered him so much (same for Legends).
His Castlevania games only started getting good when Shutaro Iida was put in charge.

Use the autorun cheat/patch, then you'll realize how much better CotM is.
