This famous quote has taken the gaming world by storm since its appearance in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.
Symphony of the night was released on March 20, 1997 for the original Playstation.
Castlevania has long since been making an appearance on store shelves for both handhelds and console games, with a new one slated for release on November 16th, 2012.
The series has a long standing history of good story and gameplay, however there are a few bad apples. Even so, those few bad apples aren't too bad. There is also another game to be released for the Playstation 3, which is a sequel to the first game also released for that system.
Unfortunately, Castlevania hasn't really become a household name like Mario or Link have, but part of that can be attributed to the fact that the characters are constantly changing and that it is geared towards a slightly older audience.
However, despite this many children have the ability to play the games because of the easy accessibility and gameplay of the handheld games.
Of course, what does this have to do with the name of Dracula?
Throughout all of the games you are playing as a vampire hunter of one sort or another and hunt vampires. In the first one for the NES, it made sense to use a vampire that everyone knows and loves as the main villain. After that, however, Dracula simply became the main villain and has made an appearance in many of the games to date.
Castlevania is a great videogame series. While it's not as popular as some of Nintendo's other franchises, it is certainly one of their better ones. There is much to look forward and I can't wait to see what they do with this series.
