Is this...REAL?!?!?!
If it was real I would jump straight back into Yugioh again just to make a deck around this.

I know about Getsu Fuhma since it came with the Zombie Structure deck I get a few years backI'll have to check out those Touhou games Jaeger!
And yep, spyhunterzero, it's real. If you're going to make a deck around him you should get another Konami warrior to join the fight against the dark monsters!

Bout what I expected.

I still don't see why we can't have both. I'd love for Iga to keep doing the 2Ds and have others take their shots at the 3D ones.

"These are dark times..."
Waiting on more reviews, I've been hoping on a solid 8 level of quality.
I don't even pay reviewers any mind, in this day in age. Everyone is looking for buzzword additions to games. Everything is "innovation innovation", and then when a title is changed, it's "... they got rid of all the good things in it...", etc.
I'm still pumped. It's Castlevania. I'm all in.

In a perfect world, we could have both things, but if we only get one, you know which one I choose.

I haven't played Yugioh in years (I ran a Six Samurai deck when they were coming out, stopped a year or so later but was playing since day 1) and I want that card lol. Not sure if I'd play it again but still want.
If you think Crissaegrim makes it a cakewalk, try the shield rod and the alucard shield combo

While that combo is hilariously over powered, I'd argue Crissaegrim is easier if only because all you have to do is spam one button and go forward.

Yeah, the downside to Shield Rod/Alucard Shield is the MP drain, but it does big damage and heals you so either way, lol

It's easy to farm in the upside down library I think gotta kill those pillow bag ghost looking kids, I still farm it compulsively every play through. Not to use it but sort of as a ritual thing.

Yeah, you get it from killing Schmoo's in the inverted library, it drops from them

Welp, my friend who frequently orders cards for various games online (some for him, mainly for other people after they pay him, he does it to build reward points on his account) is getting a Vampire Hunter for me. It's only 50 cents on that site so I was like "lolwhynot".
lol I forgot Amigavania was a thing. Amiga Drac looks like a Muppet reject

Closest you'll get to this is the PSP game.
Edit: it looks like someone actually did do a fan translation of this.

Hello Castevania Community!
I'm relatively new to the series. The games I have played are Dracula X Chronicles, SotN (unlockable version), Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. They have all been incredibly fun to play, especially the DS games. I've no real interest in the LoS series, or the N64 games. So what are the must play Castelvania games?
I'll trade you this awesomeSolid Snake for your card.
Giantbomb was right, The Shmoo is real!

You've played most of the essential metroidvanias except for Aria of Sorrow.
You should go and play the classics. 1, 3, 4 and Rondo of Blood. Belmont's Revenge if you can get a copy. Play 2 if you have a lot of patience and are curious about it, but otherwise it might not be worth it.
EDIT: Oh, and The Adventure ReBirth! How could I forget that? (Stay clear from the original The Adventure.)
Ugh. Finally playing Lords of Shadow. I kinda like it. I was perfectly fine not liking it. It's a bit janky here and there and there's plenty of design issues (mainly regarding controls, camera and level design), but it isn't nearly as mediocre as I thought it'd be.
Then again, I did enjoy Curse of Darkness too.

Thank you for the recommendations
.
I really wish they would put Aria of Sorrow, and more GBA games in general, on the 3DS eshop. As for Rondo of Blood, does the unlockable version in Dracula X Chronicles do it any justice?
If I recall correctly, 2 is the game AVGN hates so much.

The unlockable Rondo of Blood in Dracula X Chronicles basically is the original version. I think the only changes are translated menus.
edit: oh also it's dubbed
edit: oh also it's dubbed
DXC's Rondo of Blood is good, but not as much as the original version. If you have a Wii, you can get it on VC.
The issue with 2 is that it's full of cryptic stuff that there is no way in hell you'd know without a guide. And once you have a guide, the game turns to be pretty easy and utterly boring.
I guess I'm misremembering?
EDIT: No, I'm not. It's the 2.5D remake. I remembered right.

URRRR i dunno, I thought the unlockable Rondo of Blood was pretty much a direct port but with localized text and dubbing. Guess I'll do some research.
EDIT: Just did my research. The unlockable version of Rondo of Blood available in Dracula X Chronicles (not the main game, which is the 2.5D remake, the one you unlock in a similar fashion to Symphony of the Night) plays pretty much identically but has 1. localized menus with options to quick save and go back to the Dracula X Chronicles menu, 2. new dubbed voices for the intro, the cutscenes, and for the character SFX and 3. apparently a sound emulation issue resulting in faulty music looping.

There's some audio sync issues, and you have to play the game with a border instead of getting the option to stretch it.
Having the game translated and actually dubbed is a neat novelty and worth it for that alone, but the Wii VC release is probably the one I'd recommend the most.
About 3 times as many games as I've played, haha

Haha, the DS games alone were enough to get me interested in the series and lore. So I'm still a pretty new to the overall canon considering how long these games have been around. Honestly I just want an IGAvania for the 3DS, but it's probably never gonna happen.
What are the Touhou Castlevania games called again? I'm gonna play them very soon.
Dude. I had no idea that card existed! Freakin' awesome.
And welcome to the thread!

Koumajou Densetsu: Scarlet Symphony and its sequel Koumajou Densetsu II: Stranger's Requiem I beleive. (looked it up from the wikia but I remember hearing about those games too)

I remember having so many Gradius cards when I used to play. I'm surprised it got sooo much love.

I used to only have the Option, never actually owned Gradius myself lol. I'd love to have put them in my deck back then.

Tempting, but I was looking for more Castlevania related cards. I never knew about that Vampire Hunter card until I read this thread.

I just bought 3 of the Vampire Hunter card just incase I go back to playing.

This should answer all
I know nothing about Yu-Gi-Oh but I think it's cool that there are cards based on stuff like Goemon and Parodius.

Now that Lords of Shadow 2 is almost out, and with it, the end of the LoS off-shoot of Castlevania games, what can we expect next from the series? I for one want a 3DS IGAvania.
I think everyone does. Personally I would still want to see a game with sprites. Maybe not pixel art, but very clean sprites, sort of like Rayman Origins but of course with a SoTN art style.
Chances are we get a 2.5D w/ 3D art assets like mirror of fate. Which I wasn't really feeling.
Actually I think it would be really awesome if Rondo of Blood gets a proper localisation or even remake along with SoTN. Maybe do that to gage interest in 2D titles before then going that route with handheld entries. 3DS certainly has the hardware numbers but damn the Vita is perfect for this series.

I found the 2.5D worked well for Dracula X Chronicles. So much so, I wouldn't mind a 2.5D SotN remake that picks up right after DXC since the original SotN picks up after Rondo of Blood.
What do diehard Rondo of Blood fans think about DXC?

I thought it looked pretty good. At least in motion. It did serviceable job with Kojima Ayami's art. Then again, I've always preferred the sprites in Castlevania games anyways.
