WTB Castlevania
« on: January 23, 2014, 10:24:31 AM »
I've never played a Castlevania game before, mostly because the games are so overpriced.  I'm mainly looking for Castlevania Bloodlines or Super Castlevania IV (not at nasal-raping prices, preferably) but I'll also consider the original NES game if the price is right.
Play Turbografx.
Play the Turbografx. PLAY
THE TURBOGRAFX!!!!!!

Buh buh buh, I have almost all teh games evar.  I R TEH BESTEST COLLECTR!!

Have you a PS3 or PSP? Try symphony of the night from the psn store. If you haven't already that is

You will be able to pick up the original NES version for a lot less than Super Castlevania or Bloodlines. I would say start with the original anyway. You get to see how the games evolve that way.

SOTN is great, I have it on the 360. But like I was saying, the protagonists from CV3 show up in SOTN. Without playing 3, you won't have the context to really appreciate it in SOTN.

If you're gonna mention a spoiler, at least say the protagonists are just clones, and are mini-bosses that Alucard has to fight.

GO NES or PCE.  Starting with the two mediocre games is a bit silly.

Well I was trying to support my reasoning with an example without completely spoiling it, but you took care of that handily. :)
