Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Supernatural armor that moves on its own. This could be due to possession, magic or animatronics.
Bats are small, very social flying mammals. They may frequent caves or haunted houses.
A family of vampire hunters and the sworn enemies of Dracula. They are the main protagonists of the Castlevania franchise.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Christianity is a religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus. It is also the largest religion in the world.
A weird, featherless, flightless bird appearing in Castlevania: The Adventure and The Adventure ReBirth.
Games that have been removed from sale from various digital store fronts.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
Games that feature an antagonist--someone who opposes the game's protagonist--that is a woman.
Tiny, annoying hunchbacked enemies in the Castlevania series.
Wii games that can be played using a GameCube controller.
A humanoid construct given life through magic. The materials used to create a golem vary greatly.
Equines that go 'neigh' and tend to eat hay. Some are the stars of motion pictures. The truest of companions to many adventurers.
Ghostly lights that can sometimes be seen near swamps. This phenomena has been attributed to ghosts, fairies, and biogas.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto a building, a platform, or a skull, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Characters or species of living eyes, often giant.
Medusa Heads are found in Castlevania games. They fly around trying to collide into the player.
Creatures that are usually part fish and part human.
An opponent that typically appears around the halfway point in a level. Mini-Bosses are more formidable than the average opponent, though normally not as tough as the end-level Boss.
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
A bizarre spitting creature from the Castlevania Game Boy titles.
The foil of almost every early RPG lover, these rodents often live in sewers. While most rats are simple targets, games like Ratatouille make them the hero.
The rare occurrence of a game being released between Christmas and New Year's Day.
A broad spectrum of games can be described as remakes, from straightforward graphical overhauls to extensive revision of gameplay and story elements. In the most basic sense, a remake keeps the original's core gameplay and plot but makes significant changes to peripheral aspects.
Reptilian humanoids are a common motif in mythology, folklore and fantasy. As a race, they are sometimes cited to be extremely old, even older than men and elves. Examples: Lizalfos (Zelda), Lizardmen (Warhammer) & Argonians (The Elder Scrolls) They generally walk upright like any other humanoid and sport some kind of tail.
Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.
Wii titles played by holding the Wii Remote on its side. Such games may also require altering the grip on the Wii Remote in order to perform certain gameplay tasks.
These games are designed to be played by one person, and one person only.
The skeleton is the framework of the human body.
