Why were the Castlevania games for Nintendo systems so awful?

Vampire Killer > Castlevania
Rondo of Blood > Dracula's Curse
Bloodlines > Super Castlevania IV
Chronicles > Adventure ReBirth
Symphony of the Night > GBA/DS

And yet, the Nintendo games are the ones people only ever praise.

I like them all :3 except for amigavania, that one is truly a horror.

Well excuse me for being a Castlevania fanboy and demanding quality.

Also wrong, but both are great.

Only one right, but both good

Isn't Vampire Killer just the Japanese name of Castlevania? Like with Resident Evil and Biohazard?

Of course. The MSX version requires more skills and intelligence to clear, so most people obviously will prefer FC CV.

The JP title of the original Castlevania was Devil's Castle Dracula. Vampire Killer was the name they gave to the MSX2 version in Yurop

You're thinking of Castlevania: Bloodlines, which was titled Vampire Killer on the JP Mega Drive.

More than the NES game at least, which doesn't even have an explorative aspect.

You are a moron. Next you'll say that SotN requires more skill because it's a metroidvania.

You forgot to tell me about how I only emulated the games so I didn't experience them properly, how I used passwords or whatever to get to the end of the game, and about how I'll never be half as good at gayman as you. Or whatever you need to tell yourself to make you validate your life choices to a stranger on the internet.

I feel bad for you, regardless of if you're over or 18 not now.

Nintendo Castlevanias were not awful except for those slimy turds on the N64, but that's normal for that console. Just because the series got better later, doesn't mean it started from shit. Nice bait, nigger.
