Castlevania games on PlayStation 1, Gameboy Advance, and Nintendo DS were extremely good.

I hope they release a DS collection at some point. I'd like to play through Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia on console.

Castlevania games have a decent hit rate, there's probably only a handful of them that are outright bad and most of those are 3D ones

The first castlevania game I will ever willingly play will be Castlevania 64.

Just how I wanna do it, really.

Last time i played sotn, the second half was weirdly a bit of a drag, like the levels didn't feel designed right, e.g. having to slowly transform into the bat for a sec because your double jump couldn't quite make it up high enough

Iirc the second half was basically done on a whim instead of being a properly planned thing from the ground up like (Bloodstained spoilers)the inverted reality powerup which is why you have the option to just fly everywhere in case jumping doesn’t work.

The castlevania fighting game wasn't good but it remembered Cornell so it gets a point there.

I'd like to see an adaptation of the original plans for castlevania 64, all the planned characters and stories, as a good metroidvania demake/remake but that's just a pipe dream. Lotta neat ideas there. Like the original plan to have this guy as a playable character.



He would run around with a shotgun and chainsaw. He got cut and was recycled into the gardener enemy.

there's a romhack of Castlevania Dawn of Sorrows that removes the wonky touch screen mechanics and increases the drop rate of souls, and with those changes it is probably one of my favourite Castlevania games.

ranking of gba castlevanias:

1. Aria
2. the second one with the garish colors
3. circle of the moon

Ds castlevanias:
1. DS
2. Portraits
3. the one with the tatoo lady
