It's called a Konami Dracula Non-Iga Rockman Game, or KODRANIGAMAN for short.

>>10921971
>Non-IGA
IGA wasn't even a Konami employee when Belmont's Revenge released.

>>10921991
Yes. That's what the "non" part means.

it’s the best portable Castlevania

>be simon
>kill dracula
>twice
>still want revenge
wtf I know dracula stole your ancestor's gf but move on already

>>10921991
>>10922001
Yes, it's a retronym.

>>10922038
He steals mens' souls

>>10922038
In the original Akamatsu lore, Simon gets cursed at the end of CV1, which is why Drac's body gets split in 8 parts which Simon has to find in CV2 to unlift the curse.
IV is a sort of alternate retelling of the Simon story with a good ending, Drac dies and Simon doesn't get cursed, which is why Curse of Man doesn't appear (unless you count Gaibon as a sort of reference). Which makes sense since the IV team was the only CV team that was in direct contact with Akamatsu before he disappeared.

>KODRA NIGA MAN

>>10922049
Same could be said of religions.

>>10922049
please note that dracula has never stolen any souls and that is a very hateful stereotype you are perpetuating

>>10922038
This is Christopher. He wants revenge on Dracula for stealing his son.

>>10921940
Jokes aside the level select is completely pointless in this game. It just ruins the difficulty curve since 95% of the game is piss easy until the final two bosses that are a retarded difficulty spike (Dracula in particular is atrocious, maybe the worst in the series).

>>10922361
all belmonts are simon

>>10922369
Dracula should refer to all Belmonts as Simon just to fuck with them and rub his immortality in their faces.

>>10922387
The next Castlevania will feature Simone, a brave Moorish woman who don't need no Belmont.

>>10922038
he stole simon's gf actually

>>10922771
>multi-generational NTR
based

>>10922854
Simon rescues her, though.
Stop projecting.

>>10922771
yeah but did he fuk her

>>10922038
Belmont's Revenge is Christopher you fag

>>10922364
Dracula in Belmont's Revenge is very static and nowhere near as difficult as Circle of the Moon's, for example. The last two stages are definitely an increase in difficulty, and the second one in particular is rather long, but games such as X68000 have more surprises like the clocktower stage being around the middle or the very long Death stage.

>>10923657
CoM Dracula isn't hard, just a tedious timewaster with those stupid high jumps. BR Dracula sucks because it's all trial and error until you memorize what the safe spots are.

>>10923810
CoTM Dracula is hard if you avoid using overpowered cards to exploit him, where-as BR's becomes easy once you do memorize it and you should never have trouble again as long as you do that. I suppose it's a matter of what is more difficult for the player, but I never had issues with BR's.

Since we are speaking of difficulty...

Axe or cross? I have played the world version for decades and I thought cross would make the game easier, but some areas are actually harder, when you can't hit the ball spitting monsters that depower the whip from below, or kill bats flying down when you are on a moving platform and getting hit can get make simon fall down due to the knockback.

>>10923075
Yes, that is the "You Lose" screen.

>>10923128
"Oh, well," said Alucard. "At least he's not Simon."
"They are all Simons," said Dracula

>>10924493
That's really clever, can I post this on reddit?

>>10921940
Ummm... Yeah... That CLEARLY says Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Are you retarded? Methinks so. Don't post here again, faggot.

>>10921940
that isnt mega man

>>10925512
