Could someone please give me a list of all the North American released Castlevania games that play like the classic NES series (besides perhaps Simon's Quest to an extent), not the SotN onward style? I know there's been few since then but are there any besides that Game Boy game released shortly after?

Castlevania : Rondo of Blood (PC Engine)
X68000 (X68000 - Ported but it is not as good to the Playstation as Castlevania Chronicles)
Castlevania (NES)
Castlevania 3 (NES)
Castlevania Bloodlines (Megadrive).
Super Castlevania IV (SNES - Not very good)
Castlevania Dracula X (SNES - Not very good).

Rondo of Blood is also on the Wii VC so if you have a Wii U or Wii you can get it there too.

I think at that point it would be necro posting since that thread hasn't had a reply for over a year now. So please let's not encourage that its really really annoying. :/

Take out the question mark. Boom. Instant Castlevania discussion thread. No need for necro-posting.

Also, anybody else think Bloodlines is one of, if not the best-looking and most detailed 16-bit game of its era?

I would say it is up there. One of the best games on the Genesis, period.

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

All the videos I can find seem to be using a not very good emulator. Or the Playstation version which is like a PS1 Neo Geo port.

Yep, I actually like it more the Super Castlevania but I think that is because it's a brand new story rather then a remake like Super Castlevania is. I also liked the sequel to Bloodlines which was on the DS Portrait of Ruin.

An example of how it does scrolling and sounds like. (Ghouls n Ghosts X68000)

Agreed but some Japan-only games on SNES pushed the limit even further imo (Seiken Densetsu 3 and Star Ocean).

100%'d Rondo of Blood recently. I am INCREDIBLY impressed by that game. It's gorgeous and addictive on every level. Best soundtrack I've ever heard in a Castlevania game. Easily tops Bloodlines and Super Castlevania IV.
