Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

Worst Idea?

Putting IGA in charge.

The series in it's prime made 3 Best games in a row

Super Castlevania IV

Dracula X/XX

Castlevania Bloodlines

The 2D formula was only gonna improve there, then

SoTN, the most Overrated of all titles releases.
Since it was so successful, the direction went from making more intense games to SoTN Copy-Paste til this day.

yes, the music only got better but the formula was quickly getting old.

Thank you for your opinion  :)

Make it four - before SCV4 there was CV3 that many people consider to be one of the best games in the series. I am not one of them. On the other hand I don't consider ROB and CVB as one of the best games in the series either.

^^^ Ah yes, the 1990s, when everything was going for the EXTREME route. Remember, it was the era where you had Biker Mice from Mars, Street Sharks, Wild C.A.T.S, Spawn, Pitt and The Maxx!  ;D

lol, I remember at a certain point the TV just needed to fill time with pointless cartoons and they showed this piece of crap:

X-Duckx [03c] Aufgemotzt

Apparently it's a cartoon about extreme ducks. That's right. It was originally made in France but so much funnier in German.

Worst idea ever?Lament of innocence..
Where they completely speak off Dracula's origin..I wasn't hoping for it..
But i like the concept of the game though..
The Mathias being Dracula was a bit off.

Captain N had nothing to do with Konami. The TV show as made by US company DiC and was endorsed by Nintendo, but the comics didn't feature anyone not from a Nintendo game; so Simon, Drac, Mega Dweeb, Dr. Wright (it wasn't Light :D) and Wily weren't in it. The only role Konami played was in collecting the royalty checks for each episode that featured Simon. So I don't think Konami cared about Simon's and Al's images, since they were making bank off of Simon and Al was public property.

Judgement. Soon we will have MortalKombatvania, just what the fuck did they do to the characters? Simon looks like some Animu character with a fuckton of working out, Alucard looks incredibly stupid. Judgement COULD have been the first "PROPER" Metroidvania to include Simon, but another oppurtinity wasted. (CVII did not count!)

Konami agreed to it and allowed it to happen. They're just as liable as the other companies.

I agree with your Judgement rant there,Soulsteal.The character designs are just way off.Simon looked nothing like what he used to,well,kojima's design maybe..
But still,he resembles a male stripper more like it.

It wasn't just Simon either, it was also Trevor. There is almost no distinction between the two in Judgement... Bloody emo clones.

Every fighting game must have at least one pair of clones.
