Oh man what an incredible game. This is peak classic Castlevania in my opinion. The improvement on control makes this game feel amazing, Simon controls so well with 8 direction whipping and all. I can't help but feel like the future entries took a step back with the control, the Belmonts would never control this amazingly ever again...

Every annoying thing about old Castlevania like stairs, bs deaths, and all that is gone. The stage design, graphics, and music not only hold up really well, but I think its the best in the series, at least for the classic Castlevania games. This game really pushes the SNES's limits graphically, the 16 bit still looks awesome today. Even though this game drops the alternate level paths and characters, I still find that I will come back to this game pretty often, as it's a perfect Castlevania game. If only Konami made games like this today...
