Anyone who watches or reads Dracula media is steered towards that basic formula...a perfect situation for a videogame. No one's mentioned Seta's Nosferatu. [MEDIA=youtube]TXOPZQ2Ggxw[/MEDIA] It's not technically a Castlevania but it practically is. Instead of bringing holy weapons into Dracula's castle(s), the hero awesomely beats up everything including Dracula with his bare fists. It's like a hybrid of Castlevania/Karateka/Prince of Persia. Jonathan Harker could have done this to Dracula first time around if he knew martial arts. Oh wait, he did...there's also Dracula for the Sega CD. [MEDIA=youtube]J8DILAy40Bk[/MEDIA] My personal actual Castlevania favorite is Super Castlevania 4. The loneliness, horror and tension that would be experienced by a vampire hunter and articulated perfectly by the OST is just amazing. Music is pretty much half the reason why Castlevania is one of my favorite franchises. I usually prefer the Japanese version but take note there's a hack in the repo that not only restores all the censorship in the U.S. version but also reduces significantly the slowdown. I'd say that's the definitive version to play the game now. [/QUOTE]
