lame Netflix tainted one of the most recognisable characters in gaming -Alucard by showing him being homosexually raped and enjoying it ...wtf ...destroyed all my chidhood ...that s why Japanese companies must not in any way let Western untalented idiots touch their creations

@Naruga you goof. Warren Ellis isn't an untalented idiot. If that's all it takes to destroy all your childhood, I'm sorry - but your childhood sucked ass.

Do you really think Alucard wouldn't be at least bi? Does he seem *specifically* heterosexual to you? Somehow? The hyper effeminate, soft spoken spooky dandy? Its pretty normal in vampire fiction for near immortal beings to not have hangups about stuff like this. Why the hell would he?

Japan wouldn't have done It differently, Alucard is total intentionally archetypal yaoi bait. If anything they would've been more blatant about it.

@naruga Really?I was about to start watching the 3rd season.Now not sure.I might skip it

Vanfernal1868d ago

Apart from Castlevania III every single Igavania is on top of that list. I'm sorry but that list seems to be written by someone who never touched a Castlevania game until the PS1 era. And Rondo of Blood didn't even make it to the list.

Donnie811868d ago

Yeah Rondo of blood should be in the top three for sure.

savedsynner1868d ago

Agreed. Also, for the first Lords of Shadow to be so far down(#12) is a major mistake. I know the games were divisive but taken for what they were, it was a great action game with a very good story that actually streamlined the origin of Dracula and the story in general in a really cool way.

The story for LoS2 wasn't as good but still a very good game IMO.

theshredded1868d ago

There needs to be a new game. Loving the show!

savedsynner1868d ago

Right. They own the IP...just allow another good studio to use it for a while if you're just going to sit on it. Reminds me of the Legacy of Kain IP. If SqareEnix isn't going to make games with it...fine...license it out.

REALAS1868d ago

I loved the genesis one as well as 3. Dracula x on SNES was great also.

Petebloodyonion1868d ago

I won't really complain about the list because it's a list made of opinions and we all have different opinions.
Personally I loved the Lord of Shadow series and played several times LOS2, also as much as I loved Symphony of the night I believe the GBA/3ds games improved on it and thus are better.

My only real gripe is that the list is missing some games
- Dracula X on super nes
- Dracula X Rondo of Blood pc engine
- Darcula X Chronicles on PSP (It's 3d remake of Rondo of Blood)
- Haunted castle ( it's the arcade game)
- Castlevania: Order of Shadows (mobile game)
- Castlevania: Harmony of Despair on Xbox live and PSN.

I strongly suggest fans to try out Dracula X Chronicle if possible, the game is super fun and you can unlock the original Rondo of Blood game and Symphony of the night. ( ok you can unlock also: Akoumajou Dracula Peke).

It's About Time Castlevania Gets A New Game, Konami

10 years gone by without a new Castlevania title. Now that Konami is considering stuff other than Pachinko, this series deserves a new game.

It’s more than about time it’s way overdue. Please make a 2D Castlevania with item/armor/weapon collectibles and transmog as this is the one series my wife will play but it has to have item collecting or she will skip it.

neutralgamer1992196d ago

Lords of shadow 1 was such an amazing game and they dropped the ball with the sequel

SimpleSlave196d ago

"What is a name? A miserable little pile of letters."

Seriously, the games in the From Software's Soulsborne series are the best 3D Castlevania games we will ever get. From Bloodborne to Elden Ring, Konami will never approach that level of quality and give Castlevania its due respect. EVER! "Enough talk, call yourself a Belmont in the Character Creator, HAVE AT YOU!" Without question.

As for a new 2D entry? I mean, sure, why not? What the hell, right? It's about damn time indeed.

CrimsonWing69196d ago

I hate being that guy, but I think it’s, “What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets.”

SimpleSlave196d ago

Um, actually mine is the original line in the Script. But Konami, being Konami, decided to change it to "What is a man? A miserable 'little' pile of secrets." I know, they ruined it...

So, while I know you hate to be that guy, you still missed the "little" part. It happens.

And, yeah, I know. You're welcome.👍

CrimsonWing69195d ago (Edited 195d ago )

@SimpleSlave

LMAO… man, thanks for the laugh. 👍

SimpleSlave195d ago (Edited 195d ago )

I'm glad you enjoyed it. On the other hand, it seems like some ppl were so offended by my Line being so OP that they decided to side with Konami. But these are the same people that bought Contra: Rogue Corps Day One and convinced themselves it was the best Contra. So I take no offense.

It happens.

Fist4achin196d ago

Might get a Castlevania pachinko machine.
