Super Castlevania IV (Super Nintendo, 1991)

A true classic. This game from the early days of Super Nintendo offers an excellent quest into the heart of Dracula's keep, Castlevania. It is basically a remake of the original with upgraded weapons, moves, graphics, and music. For its time, the colors and special effects are remarkable. The enemies are all cool and challenging, with many famous monsters making an appearance including Frankenstein, Medusa, the Mummy, the Grim Reaper, Count Dracula himself, and countless others. Controls are tight and responsive, but they do take a little getting used to. Simon Belmont himself is a total badass in all his great side-scrolling glory. Of further note, the music contains old and new songs from the series, and I feel they are some of the best ever, especially when you defeat the boss of each stage and collect the magical orb. If you are a fan of the series or enjoy good action and adventure, pick it up as soon as you can. Trust me, this game has aged very well.

Why did I dicide to buy it? It's castlevania, thats why. And If you've never played castlevania, you must be from Albania.

I'm not a Castlevania fan but Super Castlevania IV is a very interesting and great game. The new innovations of a whip plus all of the intersting enemies made this game a very enjoyable one.

This is the first Castlevania title to ever hit the shelves for a Super Nintendo game. I bought the game a long time ago, and back in September broke out my Super Nintendo and dusted it off and started playing the older titles that I had. This particular game keeps reminding me just how difficult the game was to complete, for the difficulty of the game was somewhat on the upper medium. When playing the game, it reminded me of the 8 directional whip that Belmont comes equipped with, and the "swinging" part from place to place got pretty tricky.

This game is another one of the few games that I have played that really has value, especially if you are a large fan of the Castlevania series. If you have a Super Nintendo and don't have this game..... well, you're just missing out.

I have played a lot of video games over the course of my lifetime, and this one really brings me back......

This is one of the best titles in the Castlevania series. It was probably the main reason to purchase the Super NES back when it was fab. The graphix and audio was excellent.

THis game goes back to Castlevania fame with all of the whip cracking and subweapons to match. Dracula awake again, and its time to crumble his Castle and bring peace!
This is game is great for both new and old players or people who love this kind of vampire stuff...

If you own an SNES, you MUST own this game. One of the best of the SNES collection and definately THE best of the Castlevania series.

One of the best genre of side scrolling games ever. At a time when people and video game companies were very concerned with making the transition to 3D style games (during the mid to late 90's when we were all eager for the next generation of gaming graphics and style) the Castlevania series remained among the last to convert...and rightfully became one of the few elite side scrollers to be perfected before most series converted.

It should be considered to be worthy of being in the company of such classic snes titles as Super Metroid, Super Mario World, and Super Contra: The Alien War...which should all, in my opinion, be on any respectable gamer's all-time list.

There were few things more cool than the unveiling of Super Castlevania IV for the SNES. The biggest and most noticeable improvement is in the gameplay aspect. First off, as Simon Belmont you can finally whip in all 8 directions. While this may seem trivial, but this little addition made the game very playable and much more user-friendly. Also, if you take a look at the original Castlevania games on the NES you can only whip in one direction. That made for very frustrating gameplay that could have you tearing your hair out.

Don't be fooled though, Super Castlevania IV is hard. It's a good thing this game utilizes a password system. This game if for no other reason should be praised for its gameplay, replayability, alternate paths, beautiful graphics and music. These features make it one of the best games on the SNES and definitely one of the very best in the Castlevania series. So what did they do with the games after this one? Yeah, they took out the 8-way whipping feature!! Konami... sometimes even you redefine what it means to suck.

Great service. quick shipping. Recommended for sure.
I bought it for my brother's birthday on the day of his birthday and had it sent to him. He received it the tuesday of the following week. It was great because he seemed a little let down from his birthday and then the package showed up soon after.

Great stuff game worked right away thank you so much great service too you rock, very very appreciated, perfect absolutely perfect, nothing wrong with this game very very satisfied with my game, nothing can be better thank you so much.

the price, and the shipping i liked. i bought this game for a friend of mine that i recently bid on a console for.

I LIKE THIS GAME SO MUCH BECAUSE HAVE GREAT MUSIC, VERY GOOD GRAPHICS AND GAMEPLAY, I THINK THAT THIS ONE IS TOO BETTER THAN THE OTHERS CASTLEVANIA'S BECAUSE USE THE ENTIRE POWER OF THE SNES 16 BIT.

AND I DECIDE TO BUY THE GAME BECAUSE IS A TRUE CLASSIC. I ALREADY HAVE ONE OF THOSE IN USE. BUT THIS ONE BRAND NEW IS STILL IN HIS BOX AND I THINK NEVER PLAY IT. I WANT TO KEEP IT LIKE RIGHT NOW...A VERY SPECIAL PIECE OF COLLECTION

Took away too much of my time when i was a kid! just had to get it back! hours of fun, dificult enough, lovely graphics, fabulous sound. it's a SNES classic at it's best, what could you want more?

You got it here right when you said you would and it is very fun for a great price the game dose piss me off some time but that is not your falt.

this game is one a pure classic sidesroller for Super Nintendol, and one of the best at that this Game i well worth 30.00 so anyone paying under that is doing well.

plus the box is concidered a collecter's item so finding the game with the box for under 30.00 is a steal

love castlevania received it 5 days after purchase works perfect thanks super castlevania 4 is a great throw back to the classics of years past.

Castlevania 4 may just be one of the best old school platformers released on the Super Nintendo. With it's epic music and colorful graphics many gamers stood silent when first seeing this game in action, i know it was like that for me.

Finding hidden meat is back yet again and those dodgy jumps can really create a mess out of a good run. I have heard people complain about some of the jumping physics, saying it ruined the experience, but overall it can mastered easily and hell it's SUPER Castlevania!

4.0 out of 5 stars.

awesome game, played it growing up, had to experience it again. it's the only one i played for super nintendo, not sure if it's the only one.

If you are a fan of the old NES castlevania, this should be an instant classic. Imagine being able to swing your whip in every direction, better graphics, and another series of relentless stages to battle through! Granted it's easier than the previous installments, but that in no way takes away from the game. It will still be a challenge, there are some tricky situations that will push your limits. The music! That is the real beauty, a great game with a great soundtrack to go along with it. Staying true to the castlevania name, every level you encounter has a great theme playing in the background. These songs are technical too, not just some cheesy background music. It sets the mood for the game, and without the gloomy minor, organ/bass guitar driven songs, castlevania would never be as enthralling as it is and has been. It really puts you in the game. Even if you've never played any castlevania game (God forbid), you will love this one. Unless you don't like a challenge, then you will probably just say it sucks cause it's too hard lol.

Excellent condition of game and box. Better than I imagined. I highly recommend buying from the seller with 100% confidence in the seller and product. Super quick shipping. Very, very satisified.

Super Castlevania IV is a must have Super Nintendo game, and is one of the best in the series. Castlevania IV features the same gameplay as all of the previous games but adds some new features that make the game stand out from the other ones in the series. The first, and one of the most useful, new additions is the ability to swing your whip in any direction. You can also use your whip to swing across ledges. All of the classic sub-weapons are included which are very useful. There are also several hidden areas which reveal hearts, and other special items. Castlevania IV is relatively challenging and includes a password feature. The graphics look great and the game features some of the best music in the series.

Pros:
- Classic castlevania action
- Great music
- Unique and interesting levels

Cons:
- None

One of the best games for the snes. Five minutes in playing the first time, I knew this was awesome. Tight controls, excellent gameplay, Better than most games you find today. And the music is pure greatness.
