    The first great Castlevania game 0

    I've never felt the love for the NES games of the franchise like a lot of fans did. Super Castlevania IV was the first one to caught my eye, making it some very interesting changes to the look and gameplay. The better graphics to the platforms and the ability to swing your whip was a very important upgrade to the fluidity of the game. Really diverse and engaging level design was the biggest strenght of the game, you could see how Konami took advantage of the 16-bit system.I'm not the biggest Cas...

    Super Castlevania IV Review 0

    Super Castlevania IV came out on the SNES in 1991 by Konami. It's a remake of the 1987 original for the NES. They are about Simon Belmont breaking into Dracula's castle. The first game is a classic and one of the hardest games of all time. Is Castlevania IV as good or just another cheap cash in? Let's find out. I never had a SNES when I was a kid, but I did have a Sega Genesis with Castlevania: Bloodlines. I heard Castlevania IV was even better for SNES. So I bought a SNES with C...

    Super Castlevania IV was an amazing work then and is still a great playthrough even now. 0

    Castlevania had been among those consistently great series during the days of NES and SNES, as they introduced something different with each sequel. These were games I never hesitated to pick up when they hit shelves, and the second I saw Super Castlevania IV I remember coming into it with very high expectations. Unfortunately many people I knew got to the point where they avoided these games and it was solely for their unforgiving difficulty. Super Castlevania IV for the SNES was no exception a...

    Super Castlevania IV Review 0

    Super Castlevania IV is a remake of the original Castlevania, meaning it begins with a familiar premise. One - you’re a Belmont (in this case Simon). Two - you’ve got a whip. Three - Dracula must die. That’s all you need to know, and that’s all you are given. The base mechanics of the game remain largely the same as the previous three mainline entries in the series. You’ve got some platforms to jump on, and you’ve got some monsters to whip at. That core gamepl...

    It's A Bird... It's A Plane... No, It's Super Simon! 0

    Story- Simon Belmont (or Super Simon if you prefer) returns in a glorious re-imagining of the very first game's story as he is tasked with taking down the vile Count Dracula and his band of goons after his annual resurrection within the small country of Transylvania. Armed with little else but his trustee whip "Vampire Killer" and a courageous heart, Simon strikes out to confront the newly risen "Super Castlevania" and bring peace back to his homeland. Will he survive Super Dracula's new 16-bit ...

    Haters gonna hate 0

    A really enjoyable Castlevania game. My favorite platforming franchise. Had save scum a lot on the Castlevania collection for Switch. I guess I got hyped up from Awesome Games Done Quick (which I didn’t watch a second of). I will watch some speed runs of this game and find out what makes this game special. Enjoyed the hell out of it and can’t wait for the next Castlevania I play. Maybe one of the games from the Advanced collection...
