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...

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.

Super Castlevania IV was released on the SNES in '91, 17 years later, it's still just as awesome as it was then.

SC IV is a revamped version of the NES Cult Classic, "Castlevania"; detailing Simon Belmont's first epic journey through demon and ghoul infested forests, catacombs, towers, and dungeons in his quest to destroy Dracula and bring peace to Transylvania and Europe.

This is a classic platforming game, progression is very linear; the player advances by fighting through a few blocks full of monsters before finally reaching the stage boss and after defeating it, is allowed to the next stage. (A very simple password system allows players to resume where they left off in gameplay.)

Primary form of attack is with the legendary Vampire Killer, a whip infused with alchemy and greatly effective against the undead. Items collected in the game can boost the power and length of the whip. The player also has access to a variety of sub weapons, such as: The dagger, axe, holy water, magical boomerang, and a stop watch which freezes enemies for a few seconds. A few things that sets this apart from Castlevania games at the time, (and even some today) is the ability to swing the whip in eight directions, attack downward and at an angle while in the air, and being able to swing across pits and other obstacles.

The graphics are simply gorgeous for the SNES and the game makes excellent use of Mode 7. (Allowing of the background to be rotated and scaled, giving the player pseudo 3-dimensional graphics. A wonderful feature used to great effect in many of the stages.) The details on many of the enemies (and Simon himself) are really great, especially many of the spirit-type-enemies.

Music is an important part to most any game and this score certainly delivers. Quite a few of the songs are original pieces for this game, but there is also several remixes of classic songs from the original Castlevanias. Not one bit of the score is out of place, each song compliments its given area and really sets the mood.

A truly great game, recommended for any gamer, and an excellent addition to the SNES Library.

Awesome graphics! I really missed this game and the classic sound track! All around great buy, hope to find some more moldy oldies.
