>Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse
>Story has no mention of a curse whatsoever

>Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest
>Story is about a Curse placed on Simon Belmont by Dracula.

So why the heck is Castlevania 3 called Dracula's Curse instead of Castlevania 2.

because you can't call castlevania 3 simon's quest, simon's not even in it

Isn't Castlevania 2 called The Vampire Curse or something in japan?

Man, I wish castlevania wasn't dead.

Because the curse is the Belmont clan having to fight Dracula for generations; Trevor was the second Belmont to exist, and came before Simon chronologically. Thus, it was the beginning of the blood feud (until even earlier battles were shown.)

Don't worry, it's just a bad mockup.

Fortunately the actual GB castlevanias were better looking.

to be honest, I don't consider SCIV a remake. It has the same setting and shares a timeline slot with cv1, but the levels are redone and there is way more stuff.

Dracula's Curse has to do with the curse Dracula put over the land.

Metroid Pinball is a retelling of Prime's events
Are you really going to fucking sit here and tell me Pinball is a remake of Prime?
Story retellings and remakes aren't the same thing.

I'm not being passive aggressive. I'm being regular aggressive. In addition, I'm not sure you know what irony means.

poster you replied to here. I just thought it was a little bit strange that Game IV is basically "The events of Game I". Instead of giving it its own series or making it a spinoff, they re-transplanted it as a sequel.

I think that Video has a lot of validity. It would have been neat to see where SCIV could have gone if the entire game was designed around the whip.

Whoever was in charge of naming konami's games in english was clearly a retard. I mean, they even named the SNES remake of the original Castlevania "Super Castlevania 4".

But OP, CV3 mentions a curse that Dracula put on the countryside (It's either stated in the manual, or the opening. I forget.). You're an idiot.
