Who can forget this badass! Closest thing we've got for a CastleVania movie so far! Ironically, the movie is inspired from the original NES game.

Too true.  In essence, you can really say that Van Helsing is a Castlevania movie without Death and the Belmonts.

Although he sure looks like Julius Belmont in that pic (with loose hair).

You could even call it a Castlevania side story! after all, we have plenty of side stories with no Belmonts.

In the anime, Kekaishi, there is a castle called Kodoboro in another dimension.  The master of the castle is slowly weakening and as she weakens, the castle crumbles more and more.  The castle seems to be connected to its master just like how the castle in the CV series is connected to Dracula and will have completely crumbled once its master dead.

It's more of the world that the castle is a part of that crumbles with the master than the castle. It's the same with other "gods" in the story as well.

I shouldnt be reviving the dead, but due to my absent nature, (of life)

Did anyone else notice the dracula in vanhelsing looks exactly with the same hair style, as the original Rondo of blood's instruction manual picture of dracula? also we had frankenstein in the movie, and werewolfs, just didnt have medusa etc.

in rosario + vampire, when Moka's father is "defeated" the castle collapses (just a pity his voice actor in the anime wasnt norio wakamotto)

soul of darkness, could be considered castlevania:

(Note the SOTN dracula character)

Well there was that blatant reference in metal gear did anyone mention that yet? The last boss of metal gear solid was it? He said something about the player liking to play castlevania.

[Aridale]

that was mantis. it was based on the saves on your memory card. I bout shit mself when he said that lol

[Omegasigma]

depending on what you have saved on your memory card, Mantis would say things, that might be a different metal gear though

[Corpsecrank]

Yeah that's right. I forgot it was based on your saves. Still it's there so I mentioned it

[KaZudra]

it was the PSX Metal Gear Solid, ONLY if you have a SoTN save on your memory card

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

I have "Soul of Darkness"  It totally feels like a Metroidvania title, only with slightly choppier gameplay and less customization options.
I need to finish that game.  I believe I'm at the 2nd to last stage.

[Omegasigma]

so jorge, would you say it feels more like a GBA castlevania then? i was interested in DLing the game on my 3DS

I have it on my ancient flip phone, which is still lying about specifically for the games I installed on it.
