About Castlevania®
Since the original Castlevania® established itself as one of the premiere
franchises in the action/adventure category in 1986 on the NES (Nintendo
Entertainment System), the series has continued to thrill gamers with critically
acclaimed titles including Super Castlevania® IV (Super Nintendo), Castlevania®
Symphony of the Night(tm) (Sony PlayStation®), Castlevania® Circle of the
Moon(tm) (Nintendo Game Boy® Advance) and Castlevania® Harmony of Dissonance(tm)
(Nintendo Game Boy® Advance). The series follows the adventures of the Belmont
family, a long line of Vampire hunters whose only charge is to combat the
fearsome forces of the evil Dracula. Epic storylines, a wide array of monsters
to battle, and classic gameplay that has been refined throughout the years have
helped Castlevania® earn a prominent place in videogame history.
