Fulfill the Belmont legacy against the forces of darkness.

In the peaceful country of Transylvania, there is a legend of an evil castle and its master, the Prince of Darkness, Dracula. Once every hundred years, the powers of good mysteriously weaken, and evil attempts to resurrect Dracula. It's up to the Belmont clan to take up the eternal fight against the vampire. Players take on the role of Simon Belmont, armed with the legendary whip, Vampire Killer, to defeat Dracula and his evil minions. Luckily, Simon has many additional weapons at his disposal, including axes, holy water, crosses, knives and even a magical stopwatch that can stop the flow of time for a spell. Simon must travel through 11 stages, beginning in the countryside, to reach Dracula's Castle, all the while overcoming perilous traps and hideous monsters. Only the power of the Belmonts can quell the looming darkness.

Are they making fun of people with that Game Boy Advance mention?

As someone who didn't have a Super Nintendo growing up, I've been buying up all these games they've been putting out. It's nice to see what I missed out on, and it helps me further justify my upgrade to a New 3DS.

Looking forward to playing this for the first time.

What Gameboy Advance?

What Gameboy Advance?

On Wii U maybe?

Having GBA/DS games on the Wii U but not 3DS is the most back-asswards shit ever

Regular 3DS? I don't see any mention of "new 3DS"

Pretty sure all SNES games are New 3DS only.

It's not Rondo, but it's quite good. Definitely worth a download.

It's good, it's more level-based than the 'metroidvania' games when you have to backtrack and explore a lot.

The music is awesome. That track on the first level... when it busts out after the quiet intro part... Man

 

[kunonabi]

meh, I'd rather get the remaining GB games or Bloodlines instead.
