 GameSpot Presents: The History of Castlevania - GameSpot
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was the first Castlevania to have anything that even comes close to resembling a structured storyline, but to be fair, the previous games really didn't require one.
Overall, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is a decent game.
But that was not the case, and Konami decided to go an entirely different route with Castlevania II: Simon's Quest by making it more of a role-playing game with platforming elements--that had more in common with Vampire Killer--rather than a pure platformer.

 CastleVania News
CastleVania II : Simons Quest, when released on NES in 1988, was a game that took the CastleVania series down uncharted territory - RPG territory.
(it isn't clear, however, whether Nintendo is referring to the 1988 CastleVania II : Simon's Quest on NES or the original 1991 CastleVania II : Belmont's Revenge for which "CastleVania II" they mean).
This game is now apparently confirmed, as "CastleVania II" is on the Color Gameboy games list at

Castlevania II Discovering that the only way to break the curce placed on him is to resurrect Dracula and burn him, Simon begins his "Simon's Quest" to find the pieces of Dracula which have been scattered and are heavily guarded by Drac's evil minions.
The complaint I have with Castlevania (64) is that some of the flaws could have easily been avoided.
While Zelda may have better gameplay, there are certainly times where Castlevania blows it away in the graphics department (Tower of Sorcery, the people).

Castlevania II: Simon's Quest isn't a bad game by any means, but the Vampire Killer-like gameplay combined with a rather easy difficulty level didn't sit well with fans of the series.
Castlevania III also showed that it was possible to introduce nonlinear elements into a regular platformer without drastically changing the pace of the game or the style of gameplay.
Aside from these minor details, Simon and Trevor are basically the same, since they use the same special weapons, walk in the same manner, and have the same jumping and whipping abilities.

 defunct games > defunct games' big fat greek awards show
While the classic 8-Bit Castlevania's (which included Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, and Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, all available on the N.E.S.) were fun, the recent entrees have propelled the franchise to a level far beyond what came out in the 1980s.
Sonia (Castlevania: Legends), Trevor (Castlevania III), Christopher (Castlevania, GameBoy), Simon (Castlevania, N.E.S.), Richter (Dracula X: Rondo of Blood), Juste (Casltevania: Harmony of Dissonance) all qualify for this Lifetime Achievement Award, which from here on out will be an annual occurrence.
Castlevania is almost as old as Super Mario, and frankly, it's almost as influential.

 Encyclopedia: Camilla (Castlevania)
Camilla is also previously seen in Dracula X: Rondo of Blood as a major boss, assuming a few different forms, and in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, in the form a flying mask that attacks the player with poison.
Camilla is a minion of Count Dracula, and in Circle of the Moon, she attempts to resurrect him.
Camilla is a worshipper of Chaos in early 19th century Austria, in the video game Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, which is set in 1830.

Instead of progressing through defined stages, Nathan can explore Dracula's castle freely, similar to the gameplay in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for PlayStation, or even the older Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
Castlevania's visuals include scrolling backgrounds with the occasional window to let the moonlight cast its circle, while detailed foregrounds depict libraries, chapels, and dungeons.
Castlevania's play is balanced, avoiding the extremes of boringly easy and frustratingly difficult, unlike too many other games.

 The CastleVania (American) Timeline
When Super CastleVania IV hit the Super Nintendo, Konami of America altered the manual and introduction storyline enough to make it seem as it was a sequel to CastleVania II : Simons Quest.
This is debatable, however, as many maintain (without anything to substantiate themselves, however) that both Dracula X games chronicle the same story (nevermind the fact that the levels are different, many of the bosses are different, and Richter has a new skill in XX).
CastleVania is known in Japan as Demon Castle Dracula

 The CastleVania Timeline (Page One of Two)
all this to make the game into a sequel and continuation of CastleVania II: Simons Quest (CastleVania III: Dracula& Curse was a prequel), not simply a remake.
It is more than likely the actual events of CastleVania III happen in 1498 or 1499, as Trevor would only be 17 at 1499 if he was born in late 1482 by Sonia even though his bloodline w/Alucard could make this maturity plausible.
Super CastleVania IV was released in Japan as a remake of the original CastleVania (or in Japan& case, Demon Castle Dracula), in both storyline and levels.

 Whip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Custom whips made their way into the series as well, most notably in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
The whip is occasionally portrayed in popular culture in various contexts, but the most well known and memorable whip user is undoubtedly Indiana Jones, the swashbuckling archaeologist adventurer, whom uses the whip for a variety of things, not the least of which is to swing over chasms and long distances.
Dressage whips are usually 3 feet long and are used to refine the aids of the rider, not to hurt the horse.
