Talk:List of Castlevania media

message: I just read about this, just wondered if this is enough to get this mentioned on here yet. Here is the site address from IGN about the new game. http://wireless.ign.com/objects/958/958506.html  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.31.45.49 (talk) 23:56, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's probably enough to add it here. I'm a bit busy with the KH articles right now, so I may not get to it right away. If someone else has the time, go for it. Thanks for the info. (Guyinblack25 talk 18:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New title

message: Let's get this sorted out and decide which titles should be listed as their own entry. I think we should also discuss sorting them; if they need to be sorted, not sure if they do or not. One possible idea that came to mind is having a "Console" section and a "Handheld/Mobile" section. Anyway, here is the current listing games. Do we need to modify it?
*Castlevania
*Vampire Killer
*Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
*Haunted Castle
*Castlevania: The Adventure
*Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
*Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
*Super Castlevania IV
*Akumajō Dracula (Chronicles)
*Akumajō Dracula X: Chi no Rondo
*Castlevania: Bloodlines
*Castlevania: Dracula X
*Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
*Castlevania Legends
*Castlevania (64)
*Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness
*Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
*Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
*Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
*Castlevania: Lament of Innocence
*Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
*Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
*Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
*Castlevania: Order of Shadows
Any thoughts? (Guyinblack25 talk 15:01, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Castlevania Chronicles and Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles should really have their own separate spot in this article. While they are both enhanced remakes of older games, they are considered major Castlevania releases none-the-less and not just a simple port of another game to another system. Plus it makes the article much less confusing.Buzda 02:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know. The more I look over these things, the more confused I get. The X Chronicles I understand. I added a separate section for those. But this whole Castlevania, Vampire Killer, Akumajou Dracula, and Chronicles thing is really starting to make my head hurt. I realize that they were released at different times and have gameplay and graphical differences, but the manner in which to organize them honestly escapes me. The thing that gets me is the similarities are there and apparent, but they each have varying levels of similarity between each other.It's like the Famicom release, yes it was released in Japan for the first time on that system. But because the NES and Famicom are essentially the same system, the first NES release is more notable. That and the Famicom release was not the first Japanese release of the game. Let's see what Sephiroth says, cause my mind is a bit frazzled. (Guyinblack25 talk 14:18, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, organizing the series and making it easy to comprehend for people unfamiliar to the series is no easy task. Hell, I'm very familiar with the series and I still get confused! You have ports, you have remakes that are practically completely different games (Vampire Killer, Haunted Castle, Super CV IV, Akumajou Dracula [X68000]), remakes that are remakes in one country but considered brand new sequels in another(Super CV IV is a sequel outside Japan), remakes that are a remake of a remake (Castlevania Chronicles), and that is just a few examples.

:Could you elaborate more on those, I'm not exactly sure what those are. I googled them and found some soundtrack listings. Are these albums? (Guyinblack25 talk 15:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is a list of the Castlevania video games. A list of soundtracks would not be appropriate here.

message: I wrote that I was before.
Yes man! Castlevania has several CDs of songs, many, many even! Speak to the staff of the main article on Castlevania for them to make paragraphs in an article about this, because I can not because they do not speak English fluently, probably you may have noticed that this text was not very good, it is because I am a Brazilian and I using a translator to write and understand what you speak. Please write when you use simple words, because once the translation is easier and the errors are minor, okay?
The best sites on about it is this:

message: Dracula is of course an English word, derived from the Romanian 'dracul' by Bram Stoker. Megata Sanshiro (talk) 08:44, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "Dracula" is, of course, a name. And the discussion is going on there. Erigu (talk) 16:18, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Dracula is a real Romanian word. It means "son of the dragon" as Dracul means "The Dragon". Vlad II was named Dracul since he was part of the order of Dragon which prevented Ottoman from entering directly to mainland Europe and his son Vlad III was given the title of Dracula. Vlad III might have used brutal methods against his enemies but this was due to him being captured by Ottomans and later the Hungarians and his father and brother being murdered. Vlad II was however a very noble and good man and so was his son before being captured by ottomans. TransVannian (talk) 08:58, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Added a new source for Dracula X Nocturne in the Moonlight 

message: I have doubt that pre-order bonuses like Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight and Akumajō Dracula: Yami no Juin – Fukushū no Jokyoku deserve to be in the List of Castlevania media since they were only available through pre-order. I don't know whether pre-order bonuses should be included in list of media based on a franchise. List of Final Fantasy media does not contain any pre-order bonuses. However I'll like to take others' opinion on whether they should be kept or removed. KahnJohn27 (talk) 09:21, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
