Did you know that there's a statue of Dracula's 3rd form from CVIII in the Cave of Jigramunt in CoD?

did you know there are such things as pawn shops and garage sales to get rid of stuff you don't like?

did you know that there are plenty of mature people who enjoy Portrait of Rockin' Kastlevania?

These have been talked about in the past, but they're still kinda lesser known tidbits.

Did you know:

That Konami made a manga for LoI that was for download on cell phones in Japan.  There are 27 pages and a cover.  I don't know if there was ever any more than that.  It was basically the last battle between Mathias and Leon.

That ReSaurus originally had the license to do Castlevania toys but went out of business before anything was made.  The only thing that exists for that line as far as I know is a character mock up sketch of the succubus.

That Konami made Kid Dracula plush dolls back in 1992.  There are only six that I know of.  Kid Dracula as a bat with a black hat, Kid Drac as a bat with a yellow hat, a zombie, a bat, a turtle, and a girl Frankenstein.

did you know that the original akumajou dracula has an additional track not in the nes version on the save screen and when you beat the MSX version there is also an extra music track at the end. (which is pretty tight I might add)

Did you know Death is Gold in the MSX game and starts out in the center of the room. (making the fight alot tougher)

Did you know that that track was remade as the Name Entry music of Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance?

Did you know that other 'loading' screens have been remade in other games, like DraculaX Chronicles using the "Loading" music from Akumajo Dracula X68000/The "Other" Chronicles?

ah thanks I knew that track sounded familiar.

did you know that in harmony of dissonance you have no ceiling detection while you brandish your whip? not that it can be put to any use without gamesharks, but thanks to that you can go through any ceiling.

Hey Serio, it's one thing to hate a game. there's nothing wrong with that.


but if you're going to use a thread that has nothing to do with expressing opinions on a certain game to bitch about it and insult people who think differantly than you, Then I'm going to do the same thing and contradict you.


you act like PORE (Portrait of Ruling Excellence)

That's enough, guys.
Let's not bring the old cliche "Fixed" stupidity into these forums.
You're derailing the purpose of the thread with the bickering.

In Reply to The Last Belmont,

How do you know he's left-handed?  Doesn't the sprite reverse itself when you turn the other way?  Or does it show him left-handed in the instruction booklet or something?  In any case, I did not know that.

Did you know that there was an extra stage in the early build of Castlevania Bloodlines, set in a Zeppelin?
Did you know that the UNOFFICIAL game before it, Castlevania64/Legacy of Darkness, has such a Zeppelin on display on one of the stages, the Castle Center?

[Long John Silver]

did you know that you can sit at olrox's chair when he's still on it?

[PVG]

Did you know, how poor ole Jonathan Morris was asked to cut his hear, before being able to star in CV:PoR?

Proof:

Did you know that a statue of the same form of Dracula appears in the Skeleton Cave in HoD? And that in the same room, in the other castle, there is a statue of Carmilla's mask from Simon's Quest/Rondo?

[CVfan13]

-Did you know that AoS's last boss and LoI's undead parasite have some strange similarities?
-Did you know that CoD and LoD are also bizarrely similar?

Do I win?  Anyways, in the Helsing game there's a book that "catches your eye" about "The Belmonts".   That one always made me chuckle.
