I would like to know which of you are castlevania fans!
That way we can talk about castlevania related things... also, I need to see how well known it is :D
-
I never played it much but I've been thinking about trying some of the more RPG-ish ones at one point. I beaten the first Nintendo 64 one and played the 2nd one that was exactly the same but with a few small changes. It was so incredibly hard, though. X.x
-
I've played a bit of the old ones. The song "Bloody Tears" in Simon's Quest is by far the best song in all of the games.
-
the only version i've ever played was that calculator one. i got pretty close to beating it and then boredom set in. any sidescroller with realistic jumping(i.e. the player cannot change directions in mid air) turns me off.
-

Yeah that song is amazing. I also got a metal cover by SSH that is annoying but the original is just as cool.
-
I've owned all 3 NES Castlevania cartridges for allmost 2 decades and they are still working.
I love the original Castlevania and the Castlevania 3 games (both of them are similar), and I've won at both of them on true hardware.
Castlevania 2 (Simon's quest) was different but very nice. Although, it was incredibly hard and I've only won with an emulator and many save states.
-
1. Simon's quest was sorely flawed, while bloody tears rocked, I wanna know how they expected us to kneel at some RANDOM WALL with the BLUE crystal attached to make a fucking tornado appaer >.< (appaer was one of the many mispellings in the game)
2. Dj_Omni, how the fuck? that game is unbeatable with the nitro and magnadragia part. What demon are you D: (j/k) simon's quest and the n64 were the only castlevania games I know are fail
Critor, I play the first and third on a emu, but I do have DoS and PoR :D
-
64 version seemed really different from the style of the others. It was good, but it didn't feel like Castlevania. On top of that the 2nd one is a copy of the first to make more money but barely adds anything new.
-
I own Castlevania: Bloodlines for the Genesis and have played the Simon's quest for the NES. I also have beaten Symphony of the Night on the playstation. I wish I would have played the GBA ones (I think it was GBA versions) or any of them on the modern handhelds. I really got into Symphony of the Night. One of my favorites. I also played the demo of the new 3D Castlevania. Seems like a departure from the others.
-
Were the GBA ones the ones that seemed more RPG-ish? They had LV, HP, MP and the like, from what I remember. I was interested in them a while ago but I did not have a GBA back then. Were they any good?
-
The DS one are just like the GBA ones, and both are like that with the rpg elements. I luve PoR
symphony of the night is my friend's area of expertise
-
I played the TI version from Ticalc :3
-
I found the Castlevania series as one of the better series out there.
I think the first one that got me into it was Portrait of Ruin (I know, I started late). That piqued my interest in the series and from there I got into it with all the GBA ones(Circle of the Moon, Aria of Sorrow, and Harmony of Dissonance). I've also played the DS ones (Dawn of Sorrow, Order of Ecclecia) and Dracula X Chronicles (which had Symphony of the Night and Rondo of Blood included in it). I've also played, but haven't beaten Castlevania 64 and Super Castlevania IV.
So yeah, I guess you can say I'm a Castlevania player. ;)
-
The one on ticalc seems pretty nice in the way it's close to the originals. I didn't play it much, though, as it seemed too hard. Also you need to delete most of your archive to play it as the VAT needs to me near empty to have the game fit in RAM.

w00t, when I find a way to get my DS to connect to our WPA router, or find a WEP router, wanna do co-op together in PoR?
and as for the ticalc one, it was ok, but had the same flaws as Simon's quest with all the misspellings and hard to do tricks
-

Oh yeah, I forgot this game had co-op. If I can find my cart (My DS too) then I might be able to get that going.
I actually haven't seen my DS in a while ... :-\
I remember the last time I played it I did a Charlotte only run and that was pretty fun.
-
sounds good, Now I need to fix my WPA problems x.x
-
Wow I didn't knew that either. I wish online DS did not take so incredibly long to connect to players. In Mario Kart DS it took about 30 minutes to find someone to play against...
-
I think we all can admit that Nintendo doesnt know how to do the internet. Wii is ridiculous.
-
Wii too? I only played Ys Book I and II on the wii. Personally for Nintendo type games or RPGs, I prefer single player stuff. For RTS or FPSes type games, I prefer online multiplayer.
Halo 3 online multiplayer is terrible as well, though. Halo Reach beta didn't seem any better. It takes 10 minutes to find players sometimes, even with 300000 people on. In Starcraft 2, I got matched with a 4v4 team within 10 seconds most of the time. (It both has a quick match mode and a custom match one)
-
With the wii you have some long ass friend code you have to type in
-
That too. On Starcraft you got a small friend code to type to add someone to your buddy list, but it's shorter, and you can simply just add them from their Facebook or their e-mail if you want to, anyway. Nintendo is awesome for their games but I wish their console online support was a bit better. X.x
I also hate how most consoles now requires a Wi-fi connection or a wi-fi adapter/connector. Some people still use a wired connection because it's so much more reliable during gaming (Much less disconnections/lag)
-
PS3 still has the hardline and ya its the only way to go
-
yeah, the DS wasnt equipped for Internet
And if anyone knows how to make it work with WPA, pls help, I am getting desperate..
-

There is no way to make the DS work with WPA.
-
crap, I guess I will have to find some sort of wifi cafe or something
-

By hardline do you mean wired connection capabilities? I know the 360 also got wired connection. I hate how we got to pay for Xbox Live, though, but the choice of game is greater (especially RPGs)
-
Yep I meant a wired connection...You shouldnt have to pay to play in my opinion. Especially when you pay and the experience isnt any different from someone not paying for the service. (360 vs PS3 as an example)
-
Yeah true, I heard about the PS3 service and it seemed to offer most stuff the 360 did. It's not as expensive as WoW at least, though, and we don't need to pay for every game except Final Fantasy 11
-
I've played Castlevania 1 for the NES. I can get through the whole game easily except for one part - the final boss. Dracula's first form takes 16 hits and you take only 4, you need extremely precise timing to avoid or counter his attacks, and you only get one opportunity to attack him each time. I pretty much get hit half the time, so that gives me a probability of binomcdf(16,.5,3) = .010635376, just of surviving through his first form. :(
-
Goplat, it is easy to dodge his attacks tho, I only have problems with that one part where there is a ledge, and a Medusa keeps on killing you >.>
-
I can't believe I never posted here... I'm a huge fan of the old school Castelvania Games. I've beaten Castlevania I and III on the NES. I've beaten Castlevania Adventure and Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge on the Gameboy. I haven't played the newer ones. I initially wasn't a fan of the change in direction the series took. I might get around to some of the eventually though, as I heard some of them are actually quite good. There's also a DSI/3DS downloadable title called Soul of Darkness. It plays a lot like a Castlevania game and was very well done.
-
I personally never got as much into Castlevania, although I used to have the 1st Nintendo 64 game, which wasn't too bad, and now I got Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for the NES, which has some RPG feel.
-
I did complete Castelvania I and III on the NES.
I did play Castelvania II but never got very far in the game.
