 Castlevania series was never a Nintendo Exclusive series, just like the Final Fantasy and Metal Gear series, only fanboys will think that.

CV and MG weren't, but FF was.  Square never made a FF game on anything but a Nintendo system until FF7.

wrong, there were MSX2 versions, and they had better graphics.
only game in the series that is exclusive to nintendo consoles is FFIII for some reason i don't know about (can someone tell me why?)

Wrong, there was only a MSX2 version of FF1, that came out 1.5 years after the NES game, and it was done by Microcabin, not Square.  It also had inferior graphics, with no scrolling.  Until FFVII, Square only made FF games for Nintendo systems.

nitpicking straws again huh?  , i'm betting you found out about it just now, just so you know the "With no scrolling" part is false, the video you probably found is played on a slow emulator that isn't scrolling right.

and weither its ported by Square or not , its still released by them , thus making it not exclusive , also the other games were released on PC's (like the MSX) and Wonderswans and other handhelds in japan, the west never saw Final Fantasy being released correctly until FFVII,

it was FFI = FFI

FFII = FFIV

FFIII = VI

i bet you already know that but just a reminder that is.

the only Final Fantasies the westerners saw are on NES , thus thinking its a Nintendo exclusive thing, maybe they made a deal to release it outside of japan only on nintendo consoles , but not inside it.

 

Actually FF1 on MSX2 wasn't released by Square... again, it was released by Microcabin.  They licensed it, they ported and they published it, not Square. This isn't nitpicking, this is what I actually said.  And yeah, it did have actual scrolling but is was slow and choppy.  I like the MSX soundtrack better, but it definitely looks inferior to the NES version.

Square never made a FF on anything but a Nintendo platform until FF7 in 1997.  The WSC remakes came after that (FF1 was in 2000) and the earlier FFs were never ported to computer platforms (you may be thinking DQ1-2, which were on NEC PC9800 and later fantranslated to MSX and X68000).
