Castlevania Series Discussion
segamer:
I have all the Castlevania games Domestic and Japanese with the exception of two. I'm missing the second N64 game and Legends for GB. However, I do want to point out that most Castlevania collectors always miss this gem only released in Arcades and on PS2 in Japan.

I really wish they could've ported the NES, SNES, Genesis games to a newer system like they did with the 1st game, on more than 1 occasion. I really don't think I'm off to a bad start for having just started the series in November of last year do you.
@Lambadelta: I thought that the Lords of Shadow games were pretty well done, but Mirror of Fate could have done the lip syncing better. That's my only complaint with it.
@KalessianDB: I prefer not to count the download or phone based ones as games. How much did you shell out for Dracula X my friend? Quite alot I'm sure, right? That damn thing's expensive! Also what's your take on the Lords of Shadow reboot?

Yeah, digital-only games only sorta count in my eyes too.
Dracula X on the snes was approx $75, cart-only (reasonable shape)... about 8 years ago on ebay. Now holds a special place in my heart -- I bought it with birthday money from my grandmother, and it ended up being the last gift she gave me.
The Lords of Shadow reboot is... modern gaming. I'm a retro gamer at heart, and I mourn the loss of decent 2d gaming, but that's a discussion for another thread. I thought the game overall was well done, much like Lament of Innocence I think they're good forays into 3d gaming (full disclosure I haven't actually played Mirror of Fate yet -- I don't have a 3ds, but I learned my lesson when I had to work my butt off to find a CIB copy of Circle of the Moon and now buy all CV games when they come out, even if I don't have the system yet), fun to play, interesting direction to take the series (if you hope for continuity in a series well over 2 decades old with 2 dozen+ different games over different systems, generations, publishers, directors, etc etc etc... you're kinda silly). I'm not really that thrilled with the whole "major plot points being revealed in DLC" aspect of the first one (haven't finished the second yet), but I accept that it is sadly part of modern gaming. On the whole though, I like it.
