I think we're all in agreement that his is the best Castlevania right?

How could you possibly disagree?

Sorry, I posted the wrong picture. I've been sick with gayness recently. This is the best Castlevania that we all agree on.

both bloodlines and 4 are goats. 3rd gen ones are too cheap and filled with gotcha level design, 5th and on are too piss easy. 4th gen games are a perfect balance

If this turd is "the best" i don't wanna see the rest.

Dracula X has always been my favorite. It just perfectly captures the experience of the NES but with better graphics and sound.>>12385829 Castlevania 4 was okay but it had too many gimmicks trying to showcase the mode 7 capabilities of the SNES and the whip controls made it roo easy.

Sotn is my fave, rondo and IV too
>>
>>12385829
4 is good but its by far the most overrated in the series, even more than SotN and Rondo. The "best" changes depending on what metrics you use to judge, since so many games have different formulas and priorities entirely. I'd rather replay 3 again more than Bloodlines even if I think the latter is a better game in a lot of ways.

Not retro.

>>12386780
if you don't consider a 31 year old console or its games ''retro'' yet you're still posting on 4chan, you might be dying of old age.
>>12385965
it's okay to not like SOTN because you didn't like the RPG mechanics it introduced or the metroid style design, but.. wait. no it's not okay. you're a faggot and your taste is dogshit.

Catch monkeypox you fucking scrub.

Putting aside the fact that 3D acceleration is not retro, the best Castlevania is in fact not retro.

NES has it all. Atmosphere, personality, 10/10 gameplay, and tough, satisfying difficulty.

I picked up SOTN again yesterday after giving up on it a few years ago. It's fun but I do prefer the razor-sharp focus of the NES version.
>>
>>12387091
kinda sucks when you perfect the game in your first try
2 was trying to be an rpg and 3 is just 1 with 10 million more stairs everywhere and very annoying gimmicks
4 is fine but casualized, the megadrive games brought it back to really high quality then sotn happened and the rest is history

Literally the game that ruined the whole franchise until Order of Ecclesia came out
>>
>>12385815
This would be the best old school Castlevania game if it had more levels. Unfortunately it only has 6 levels like the NES game. The game was squandered. Even the lack of continues doesn't matter since you can enter a password anyways
>>
>>12385802
Because it's not 1, Rondo, Aria, or Chronicles?

Perfect amount of levels for an 16-bit action platformer, I think. Would've been cool if Eric had unique levels, for example, but I love a game that's easy to pick up and blast through in a relatively quick sitting.
>>
>>12389873
they're also all very dense levels. there's basically 0 filler in the game

SotN has a bunch of awkward shit after playing something like Aria of Sorrow. The items mostly.

Correction!

>>12385802
"metroidvanias" are different enough to whipping action "classicvanias" (or whatever you want to call them) that i don't care to compare them.
fwiw, sotn is the only metroid-style castlevania game i've actually finished. mostly because they nailed the atmosphere. the gameplay mechanics aren't that great.
