You're wrong OP. IV is one of the best, but it wouldn't exist without the original, which is still perfect.

Castlevania 1 has clunky, shitty, outdated controls. The story aged like milk. After playing IV, it's impossible to go back.
Symphony is just too easy, and the """RPG""" aspects of it feel forced and useless.

Nice argument, though, faggot.

Rondo is better than IV. and I like 1 and SOTN and Aria much better than IV too.

I'm right there with you loving Gold and Silver, those are my faves. the music and sprites are unmatched. BUT I think platinum and white 2 were p good as well :P

X&Y and sun&moon were OOF bad games.

Well if you count Super Castlevania as being in its own series, ie the Super Castlevania series, which would be a series with only one game, then I guess you could reasonably say that there was only one good game in that series.

Original title is just Akumajou Dracula. It's part of the main classic CV series.
The spinoffs started with Dracula X.
