Wii Warm Up: Favorite 'Vania

Posted Aug 19th 2007 11:00AM by JC Fletcher

Time to play favorites again! This time we'll look at our favorite series, Castlevania. You've got your Quests, Curses, Laments, Curses, Bloodlines, Symphonies, Rondos, Circles, Arias, Harmonies, Adventures, Legacies, Legends, Chronicles, Portraits, Dawns, and a few that just go by Castlevania. There's also oddball stuff like Boku Dracula-Kun and Haunted Castle. It ranges from life-changing to execrable and from schlocky to gothy.

Given so many to choose from, it may be hard to pick just one, much like it's hard to choose your favorite subweapon. But crack open the candle of your choice and give it a try. What's your favorite Castlevania game? We used to be firmly in the Symphony of the Night camp, but there's something we love about the crushing difficulty of the first game.

Simon Belmont cursed to eternity on the Virtual Console

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest has popped up on the ESRB's ratings page, meaning that it'll be headed for the Virtual Console any time now. As total Castlevania nerds, we couldn't be more excited. We know that a lot of people hate on Simon's Quest for being so divergent from both the original game and the more modern Symphony of the Night style, but we quite enjoy the Zelda II-esque action-RPG gameplay. We also enjoy the Nightcrawler-like black and red suit that Simon Belmont wears in the game for some reason.

The game has been rated E, which, we think, is pretty lenient for a game in which the main goal is to collect a bunch of corpse parts in order to resurrect and subsequently re-murder their owner.
