ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED 10 OUT OF 10 February 23, 2008
Super Castlevania IV is not only one of my best Super Nintendo games, but also one of my favorite games ever. Although it doesn't beat Chrono Trigger as my favorite game, it's still awesome nonetheless. Simon Belmont's quest is to destroy Dracula when he rises out of his grave every one hundred years as a part of the Belmont family tradition. But you have no idea what a wildly fun game awaits you. Though in reality this game is a remake of the original NES classic, it's so gorgeously detailed in its wonderful 2D graphics and environments. The gameplay is simple, yet great. The whipping techniques are a lot of fun to use. You collect various items such as new weapons, health, hearts and more during your quest to slay Dracula and encounter some incredibly strange enemies. The boss battles are spectacular and you can't help but feel a sense of awe when you fight in them. The only flaw to the game is the fact you die instantly when you touch spikes, when is a real problem in the tough eighth stage. If you own a Super Nintendo, there is absolutely no reason you should not own this excellent game. This game is a classic that should never be forgotten, even you play the first Castlevania or Symphony of the Night for the Playstation (Speaking of Symphony of the Night, I plan to own that game one day because it looks so freaking cool!).
Crack of the whip... November 12, 2007

When Nintendo produced the SNES console, gamers knew that Konami would have to deliver a lot of great titles as they did on the NES. At the forefront of that charge was Castlevania IV (or Super Castlevania IV). This game would have to be simply fantastic to surpass its previous entries on the NES, fantastic...was an understatement. C4 utilized everything that made the SNES excel over its contemporaries; my favorite ability was that of Belmont's whip. You could control the whip more by holding the attack button and moving the d-pad, this was mostly because there was a new ability that separated the game from its NES counterparts; you could grab hooks and swing with the whip. This was big because at a certain part in the game it would move the story forward and was the key in defeating a certain "floating skull" that had a name that nobody could pronounce, rofl.
Of course in order for a game to truly be perfect, it must have an adequate soundtrack that invokes a feeling that allows the player to connect the specific moments in the game, C4 didn't disappoint. To this day it's one of my most favored soundtracks of all, even up there with the works of the great Motoi Sakuraba, Nobuo Uematsu, and Hiroki Kikuta. I also thought it was great that it included the opening stage themes from the first three games on the NES, just check the options and start playing the songs, there's a lot to be heard.
This game was very integral in pushing this franchise forward and it did this incredibly well as it shows today. Please buy this game, you won't regret it one bit.
One of THE best games for the Super NIntendo August 14, 2007
If you own a Super Nintendo, you owe yourself to play this platform game. It is one of the most fun you will ever have on a game console. It is considered challenging by some but I found it to be not that hard. Right now Castlevania Symphony of the Night is going for a lot of money but you can do no wrong by picking this one up. The graphics is spectacular and the platforming and action is second-to-none.
 16-bit platforming at its finest! February 1, 2007

This game is about a Vampire Hunter named Simon who hunts dracula
In this game: you must make your way to the castle fighting Monsters, Ghouls ,Ghosts ,the undead and yours truly Dracula! Aiding you in this Quest(or game whatever you like to call it) are various sub weapons and items such as a drumstick, knife,axe,holy water, and my personal favorite The Cross. This game like most early Castlevania games was difficult but still insanely fun
