So, is anyone here a fan?

I just watched the Angry Video Game Nerd review the original Castlevania (positive review):

...And after ignoring it for a while, I think I might actually give it a look-see.

I love Castlevania! Although, being a Metroid fan I didn't really pay attention until Castlevania started taking a lot of gameplay concepts from it.

I've only played one, and it was for the DS.
I liked it though.

It's the one when you absorb other's powers.

EDIT- I just looked it up. It was Dawn of Sorrows.
It's a great game.

Dawn of Souls had amazing gameplay. The story was a little dry compared to Aria of Sorrow, but that didn't stop me from playing it every waking minute for months, though.

I've only played the painting one.

Good fun.

OCD made me gather all of the weapons and spells.

Dracula got violated.

I've played assorted Castlevania games.

I enjoy the recent metroid-like GBA/DS games... Even if every single one is practically identical, they are still such high quality platformers that they are still fun.

I typically end up having to do starvation runs to make them have trivial difficulty thoug :(

I never got to play them, but I want to since it was made by the game company that made that one sneaking game series and that other sneaking game series that I really like.

I LOVE CASTLEVANIA!!

Sadly, I've never played the older games, but...

I have Portrait of Ruin and Order of Ecclesia. I've played Circle of the Moon before, and I think Aria of Sorrow. I really want to play Dawn of Sorrow and that 3-D one for the PS2 (I think is's Symphony of the Night).

And also, because I'm such a nerd, I have music tracks for both Portrait of Ruin and Symphony of the Night (SotN has EPIC music!!)

I'm a VG music fag. I've got the OSTs to Guilty Gear and TWEWY too.


"Festival of Servants" and "Tragic Prince" FUCK YEAH!!!

My favorite song out of the whole series was Bloody Tears. Vampire Killer is pretty awesome as well.

My favorite is probably the PSP remake of Rondo of Blood.

Dawn of Sorrows had the best bosses out of the ones I've played, though.

I've beat Dawn of Sorrows, Symphony of the Night, and Order of Ecclesia...

Castlevania 2 and 3 piss me off... Mostly because 2 is timed and 3 is pure horribleness (except for the music)
