Yes to the latter part of your guess. While they're all in the same universe, each Castlevania is part of it's own time in history. There are a few exceptions with a few direct sequels/prequels (Like Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow), but even those really don't require much knowledge of the previous game.

And kudos to that "someone" you know who enjoyed them. ^_^

I believe castlevania been out since snes!!! I loved games especially sequels because it feels like it never ends! Im someone that plays a game that has to be in order ex im gonna get golden sun for gba so i can play the entire franchise!!! Castlevania i heard good things about, too bad its an underrated series like to me fire emblem that needs more attention!

Tactics Ogre: Let's Us Cling Together. Every PSP owner should play this awesome game




I'm so glad I'm done school. I have so much time to catch up on games like these. I missed so many, especially on handhelds. I have Tactics Ogre for PSP and GBA to work on, Fire Emblem 6 and 12 (imported the games and got patches for them), Jeanne d'Arc, and Valkyrie Chronicles 2 to work on.
and those are just the SRPG's, I have about two dozen other RPG's to work on for my GBA/DS/PSP. Won't be getting a 3DS XL for a while (want a damn redesign, the current XL is so ugly!).
But I will get Fire: Emblem Awakening day 1, even if I can't play it.

i kind of like the XL but alot of people dont like its design... oh well but out of all games coming out soon definitely getting me fire emblem!!! Im so surprised its underrated!!! Not one Fire Emblem game sold a mil but hopefully (it will) this can since about 500k in japan and america gets the other half!

These games need to be better exposed!!! Doesn't SSB help??? Thats how i first knew about the franchise back in 2001




I like the design, but I hate how it only comes in red/blue and that the front half is always black. I want a less kiddie looking colour. My GBA SP is silver, and I love it, I kind of want a solid black 3DS XL.
I'm 50/50 on Fire Emblem Awakening breaking 500k sales in Americas. It's bound to do better then Shadow Dragon, a remake, but I'm not sure if it will get over 400k like the GBA iterations. Nintendo didn't show this game at E3, and is doing very little to promote it. However it should be the first to break 1 million with the aid of Europe. It's great that this franchise is growing.
SSB is actually the reason why Fire Emblem got localized. Marth and Roy were playable characters, but before SSBM most people outside of Japan did not know who they were. It was all the hype generated by SSB that the second Fire Emblem got the green light to be localized, and man....the GBA is by far my favorite handheld now because of games like this.
SSB isn't a garentee though, Earthbound got a lot more popular with Ness in SSB, and Lucas was in SSBB, but we never saw Earthbound 2 get localized outside of Japan.

Yea i know, I like pit alot and was really excited for KIU because i loved him in Brawl! Not all but some people learnt about games (FRANCHISES) because of brawl which to me is cool! Fire Emblem on gamecube was awesome, like i said b4 KIU on 3ds! I even found out about golden sun because of isaac in brawl(even though i didnt kno about gba games)

ANOTHER Ip i played because of SSB is a game called sin and punishment! 2games came out 1st was awesome and its sequel was an arcade that was great! I hope Saki makes it in SSB4 now along with Isaac to get some recognition!!!

Even though the game doesn't promote other ip's 100% its still good to have!

Maybe i should make another thread about SSB and ips people played or learnt from the series?

Try Knights in the Nightmare (DS/PSP). Its one of those games that dont really fit into any genre. I guess I'd call it a Bullet Hell/SRPG. Its pretty crazy, try it out ^.^

Had Kid Icarus not been a playable character in Brawl, I would doubt that he would have gotten his own game. Actually I think development for a new Kid Icarus started in 2008, only a year after Brawl released.

Issac isn't playable in Brawl is he? Is he a trophy? I haven't played much of Brawl since I bought it lol.

I hope Shulk from XenoBlade is a playable character in the next Smash Bros. It's a bit late for Issac, but who knows. Nintendo has been talking about making a handheld Smash Bros., maybe that game will get Handheld specific franchise characters, like Samus from Metroid Fusion, Welt from Soma Bringer, the main character in Fire Emblem Awakening, etc.

4 Heroes of Light for the DS.

Isaac and Saki are both assist trophys that need to be playable!!!
If you like arcade like shooters then you'll like Nintendo's Sin and Punishment! It was cool for me but like i said its a crazy shooter with lots of dodging! maybe like star fox but as a human with nothing but monsters! First one was Japan only but u can get it for wii virtual console and its sequel for wii!

I think everyone who doesn't care for what Resident Evil has become should give Revelations a shot...
Maybe you won't be impressed, maybe you will...
