I want a vampire hunter with a short skirt and a long whip.
Seriously - look how revealing his tunic is.
That's at least rated T for Teen.
So after the slog through the lengthy but relatively easy Final Fantasy XIII, I would like to try the short but difficult Castlevania. I never had this game as a kid, I only rented it a few times. I recently downloaded the game on the Virtual Console for Wii and have given it a few attempts. I have yet to beat the dual Mummy bosses at the end of Level 3 so I have a good bit of practice and work ahead of me. I've also heard that the Grim Reaper boss in this game is an absolute beast.
Wish me luck.
[UPDATE]
So I gave it my first attempt this afternoon and played for about an hour. During that time, I took out the dual Mummies (yes!) and made it all the way to the Grim Reaper - with only one hit point. I died immediately. Something I didn't realize about this game that makes it a LOT easier than I thought it was gonna be: Infinite Continues. Wow, what a treat! Also, since I'm playing on the Wii, I can save state my game and pick up right where I left off.
The adventure continues tomorrow. At the rate I'm going I should be done with this one in a couple of days.
That's a stroke of luck. I used to love this game as a kid, but I don't think I ever finished it. I may have gotten past Death a couple of times...

Interesting blog! Congratulations for beating FFXIII!
ReplyDeleteSome people says that Ghost 'n Goblins is one of the hardest games, but then you'll notice you have infinite continues (NES version). In the same way, Castlevania isn't THAT difficult that some people might think.
Good luck!
