@Radish & Yoshiya

I would highly recommend buying one of the three DS Castlevanias (preferably "Dawn of Sorrow" or "Order of Ecclesia". "Portrait of Ruin", while still a great game, isn't as great as the other two). They were directed by Koji Igarashi, and are going to be a different style that what we're going to get with "The Mirror of Fate", which will be directed by David Cox.

I'm a huge fan of Iga-Vania/Metroid-Vania (which started with Symphony of the Night, and as the name implies, is very similar structure wise to 2D Metroid). But there's other styles of Castlevania.

1. Classic Castlevania (Predominantly on the NES and SNES, ended with Super Castlevania IV. Level based side scrolling action titles.)
2. Iga-Vania (Developed by Koji Igarashi and is inspired by 2D Metroid. Started with Symphony of the Night on the PS/Saturn. Last entry was Order of Ecclesia on DS)
3. Mercury-Vania (Developed by Western-based MercurySteam. More 3D focused and started with Lords of Shadow and is suceeded by Lords of Shadow 2 and Mirror of Fate)

Order of Ecclesia was the one I tried emulating. I probably will get one of those games at some point but I really need to save up for a trip to Iceland with the school I am putting money towards.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I was reading the final page of round 45 and it didn't look like anything has changed.

We've got loads of returning members this round- it wouldn't be the same without you :p

I tried an emulated version of one of the Castlevanias (the Super Nintendo one) and couldn't really get into it. I also played the demo of the most recent game. That is the extent of my experience.

I'll go from being a flavour master (for Game of Thrones) to a flavour newb

How the tables have turned... Mwahahaha!

Perhaps I'll go from the Lord of Light (Stannis) to the Lord of Darkness (Dracula).
