I like many of the Castlevania games, but my favorite would definitely have to be the original.
z3r0w1n9 @ Jan 15th 2009 9:10AM
The first one.
Rocketboy @ Jan 15th 2009 9:11AM
Is there any question? SOTN.
And if you don't agree, then you must have not unlocked the upside down castle.
Pseudoku @ Jan 15th 2009 9:12AM
Symphony of the Night!

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night!
Adam @ Jan 15th 2009 9:22AM
I'd have to go with Bloodlines, since SOTN is taken
Jesse @ Jan 15th 2009 9:21AM
Castlevania 2, at the time i thought it was a bit disappointing, but in retrospect I actually liked the quest/rpg elements that were added.
JScotty28 @ Jan 15th 2009 9:22AM
Gotta go with Castlevania III. Haven't bought it yet on VC, but it's a must own.
q00ber @ Jan 15th 2009 9:23AM
Symphony of the Night.
Played this non stop after having my wisdom teeth removed, I thought maybe it was the pain killers that made me enjoy it so much, but now that I see others agree it has to be because the game was awesome on its own merit.
Posh @ Jan 15th 2009 9:25AM
Symphony of the Night. Followed closely by Rondo of Blood (which the virtual console desperately needs).
SToNeP2277 @ Jan 15th 2009 9:27AM
All Castlevania games is off the meet racks.
Cuddlefish @ Jan 15th 2009 9:27AM
The one that was canceled for the Dreamcast.
John @ Jan 15th 2009 9:31AM
Number 3.
Shoeboy @ Jan 15th 2009 9:30AM
Super Castlevania IV - Every version since just imitates
Argyle Bandit @ Jan 15th 2009 9:34AM
The only one I ever really played was Castlevania 64, so I'd have to say any game but that one.
ZaxCG2 @ Jan 15th 2009 10:54PM
You pour soul.... :[

josh @ Jan 15th 2009 9:36AM
the original
Ian @ Jan 15th 2009 9:39AM
I think it's the second one, because it's the only one I've ever played and finished.
David @ Jan 15th 2009 9:38AM
SOTN was actually the first I played - I was amazed.
Edge @ Jan 15th 2009 9:39AM
Your question is easy. Symphony of the Night. I don't know how many versions of it I have.
Mark Sypniewski @ Jan 15th 2009 9:39AM
I only played the first one, so that has to be my favorite.

dubbalubagis @ Jan 15th 2009 9:41AM
SOTN
tsagoodness @ Jan 15th 2009 9:41AM
Dawn of Sorrow!
c4jones2 @ Jan 15th 2009 9:49AM
I'm sure it will be this one if you give it to me :-)
MrMan2k7 @ Jan 15th 2009 9:51AM
My favorite is definitely Castlevania II. As a kid, my friends and I would play this game together so often that we knew everything about the game like the back of our hands. I still enjoy most of the other Castlevania games that I've played, but this one is my most remembered, being the first to mix action with RPG elements.
bukizzle715 @ Jan 15th 2009 9:51AM
Castlevania 64. All day.
Covarr @ Jan 15th 2009 9:51AM
SoTN had horrible voice acting, a lesser story than many others in the series, and the physics paled in comparison to later CastleVania games. It is vastly overrated. Take off your nostalgia goggles, people.
My favorite is Harmony of Dissonance.
Also, do more once-entry contests and fewer once-per-day contests.
kavorka @ Jan 21st 2009 6:55PM
SotN is an undisputed classic, there's no 'nostalgia goggles' to be worn. Harmony of Dissonance was, by far, the worst in the series on GBA. You clearly have no scope or scale on which to vote for Castlevania games. The music was terrible, the "alternate dimension" mapping system was confusing and poorly done, and the limited weaponry/spellbook system was a joke.
Castlevania II is still the best of the series, but HoD was a far inferior title to SotN. Don't even try to argue.
JMorgan @ Jan 15th 2009 9:55AM
Gotta go with Castlevania III for the NES. However, I haven't played anything from SotN on so I'm missing the metroidvania style games, which really seem like they'll be fun.
8-bit.artist @ Jan 15th 2009 9:55AM
ive always been partial to cv3 and 4
Don Day @ Jan 15th 2009 10:01AM
I'm not real original, but it's gotta be SotN for me. I bought that sucker on the day it came out. I even played the game through on Richter mode. I'd love to give Judgment a whirl.
Haohmaru @ Jan 15th 2009 10:03AM
Despite the horrible English voice acting, Symphony of the Night still stands as my favorite for its overall gameplay and scope. I have to give Simon's Quest an honorable mention for being the first exploration-based Castlevania, though, and a game that I still love to play from time to time.
wayne @ Jan 15th 2009 10:05AM
super castlevania IV
Drayain @ Jan 15th 2009 10:04AM
Symphony of the Night
J-Lai @ Jan 15th 2009 10:04AM
I don't want it.
RasenganFury @ Jan 15th 2009 10:05AM
Aria of Sorrow is the only one I've played so i guess its that one.
Chris @ Jan 15th 2009 10:06AM
Symphony of the Night, hands down.
davemaster @ Jan 15th 2009 10:06AM
symphony of the night has to be the best one hands down.
DucRam @ Jan 15th 2009 10:06AM
The original. We had the arcade machine in the Pizza Hut where I worked.
Eithan Smith @ Jan 15th 2009 10:10AM
Castlevania Numero Uno
Paul @ Jan 15th 2009 10:10AM
that one from gameboy
Canned Pasta @ Jan 15th 2009 10:13AM
The best one is Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
Santos L. Halper @ Jan 15th 2009 10:13AM
original, DoS or OoE
ZaxCG2 @ Jan 15th 2009 10:54PM
WAIT. I thought Judgement was the suck? Ah well... don't have any fighting games for my Wii.
Order of Ecclesia is win.
Gabriel Lamarre @ Jan 15th 2009 10:16AM
Excluding Québec? That's so mean... =(
