  Super Castlevania IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Super Castlevania IV is considered a remake of Castlevania I in the Japanese Castlevania timeline by current director Koji Igarashi.
Super Castlevania IV displays effects such as multi-scrolling backgrounds, animated objects in the distance, and very complex and diverse colors and shapes in its levels.
Some of the enemies' graphics from Super Castlevania IV would eventually be recolored and ported into Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, the most famous examples being Slogra and Gaibon.

 Super Castlevania IV
Back when the Super Nintendo came out, most people were looking forward to seeing their favorite games, but with the improved graphics and sound that the 16-bit systems promised.
Super Castlevania IV is also a bit easier than its NES predecessors, though it's certainly no walk in the park.
While it's one of the earlier SNES game, Super Castlevania IV still stands as one of the best, and oddly enough, beats out the Dracula X game for the system in most every aspect.

 Super Castlevania IV: Classic Gaming - The Armchair Empire
Super Castlevania IV Being born into the Belmont family line is both a blessing and a curse.
A blessing because it is a family of noblemen (and women!) who defend all that is good in the world, and a curse because they have to defeat Dracula and his descendants every 100 years, not to mention the Belmont family line actually has a little vampire blood in it.
Released in 1991, the same year as the SNES itself, Super Castlevania IV introduces us to Simon Belmont who must once again dust off his trusty whip and defeat Dracula in order to make the world safe for another century.

In Super Castlevania IV, Simon Belmont steps out to defeat Count Dracula (on a side note, it's not REALLY IV; Konami later admitted that this game is just a re-make of the original 1986 NES Castlevania.) This being said, Simon has a lot of moves at his disposal.
It may not be apparent now, but Castlevania IV was a marvel of technology back "in the day." Castlevania used a lot of the (at the time) neat tricks the SNES had to offer over the NES.
Castlevania IV, while an early release on the SNES, utilized the new things you could do on the SNES graphically and aurally better than many games released years later.

If you've played a Castlevania game before, you know the drill: Dracula's wreaking havoc, and it's up to one of the many members of the Belmont bloodline to jump and whip his way through level after level to destroy "The Impaler" before something nasty happens to the land.
Seriously, I've pretty much played every Castlevania title known to man, and Super Castlevania IV remains my favorite installment of the series to date.
Considering that the series later evolved into something more akin to Metroid than what it initially started out being, Super Castlevania IV can be considered the last great title in the series that featured the original game's style.

As the first Castlevania title to appear on a 16-bit system, Super Castlevania IV is everything a fan could ask for and more.
So Dad rented Castlevania IV for me one night, and being a huge fan of the three previous Castlevania games (to this day, I've yet to beat the first one) I was pretty stoked.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance is a patchy effort, and the worst of the Metroid-vanias, as they have come to be known.
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow is actually set in the future, the year 2035 to be exact, but you wouldn't know that from playing the game - it's still set in a medieval looking castle.

 I-Mockery.com | Hacked Rom Reviews: Super Castlevania 2!
I'm not sure if the "Super" means that it's an improved version of Castlevania II, or if it means that it's the second prequel to Super Castlevania IV.
Then again, Super Castlevania IV was the only Castlevania with "Super" in the title, so it's really just "Super Castlevania," and so this hack must be the sequel to that, perhaps.
Again, the original script in Castlevania II wasn't exactly compelling cinema, but at least you could kind of pretend it was related to what you were doing.

Super Castlevania IV Siguiendo con el arrebato nostálgico que me ha dado últimamente por los videojuegos antiguos, hoy me apetece hablar del Super Castlevania IV de Super Nintendo.
El Super Castlevania IV fue el primer juego de la saga que salió al mercado para Super Nintendo, allá por 1992.
Después del Super Castlevania IV han ido saliendo nuevos juegos para las nuevas consolas, pero el espíritu se ha perdido un poco a medida que los juegos de plataformas han ido pasando de moda ante el tirón de otros estilos mucho más intensivos en gráficos tridimensionales.

With the release of new powerful systems, Castlevania fans were eagerly waiting for a Castlevania game to take advantage of the new hardware, but surprisingly, Konami's own in-house development team would not be the masterminds behind the first 16-bit Castlevania.
Instead of a small, brown, and blocky sprite, Simon Belmont in Super Castlevania IV is a massive character with much more prominent details, such as fl armor, wristbands, a headband (similar to the one Trevor Belmont wears), and fl boots.
As good as the graphics are in Super Castlevania IV, the music is even better, and to this very day, Castlevania IV's remains as some of the best ever produced on the Super Nintendo.

The game has been adapted or remade for a number of different platforms, including the Super NES (as Super Castlevania IV), the MSX (as Vampire Killer), and the Sharp X68000 (which was later ported to the PlayStation and released as Castlevania Chronicles), as well an arcade game remake called Haunted Castle.
Castlevania is a typical platform game of the 8-bit era: the game is comprised of six levels, which are played through in a strictly linear progression.
Each of Castlevania's six levels conclude with a boss fight: these bosses are generally taken from horror literature or legend, and include Frankenstein's Monster, Medusa, and the Grim Reaper.

 Chudah's Corner - Reviews
Castlevania game scores have been some of the most impressive, complex, and downright catchy music to ever grace a console.
Still, every now and then, a Castlevania game's score takes an alternate direction, as was the case with Super Castlevania IV and, as is the subject of this review, Demon Castle Dracula Apocalypse, aka Castlevania 64.
In the final tally, I recommend this album to those who are fans of the Castlevania series' music, especially Super Castlevania IV, and who enjoy atmospheric, ambient tunes.

When the first CastleVania was released for the then new Gameboy Advance it was one of the most critically acclaimed games for the GBA and it was a great selling piece for hardcore fans of classic 2D game play.
The new CastleVania game is still a great game with the same addictive game play that we all know and love but it's not perfect and some may actually prefer the older Circle of the Moon to the newer Harmony of Dissonance.
I love almost all of the CastleVania games out there and that includes the 3D games by the way, this CastleVania is no exception but it still plays like a second rate Symphony of the Night unfortunately.

Historian Mode Activate: Super Castlevania 4 came out at or around the launch of the SNES (which is still the greatest game system ever!).
Well, in reading a review somewhere (which I oddly can't find the link to now, but I know the page still exists), the author made a comment about the original Castlevania (which I think applies well to SCV4) which I shall now steal and rephrase as I like.
Although the graphics and sound of the original CV may not have been the best, everything was blended to create an atmopsphere of a gothic castle right out of one of the Universal or Hammer monster movies.

 NINTENDO LAND - REVIEW: Super Castlevania IV, SNES
100 years after he was defeated last time in Castlevania 3 on NES Dracula has woke up again and a new member of the Belmont family must grab the family whip and defeat him once again.
You wont finish this game in an afternoon, with it´s 11 worlds each with around 4 courses each and at least as many bosses it will keep you occupied for a while.
Castlevania really feels like a real horror-movie with it´s creepy atmosphere and great sound effects and extraordinary music.

 The CastleVania (American) Timeline
n Japan, the games Vampire Killer, CastleVania, Super CastleVania IV are all one and the same, in story, etc. CastleVania was a remake of Vampire Killer, and Super CastleVania IV was a remake of CastleVania.
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 : Simon’s 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).

Konami's Super Castlevania IV for the SNES is a classic side scrolling adventure game.
A long time Castlevania fan, Castlevania IV captures the spirit of the first game; and with incredible graphics, excellent sound, and superior play control this title is hotter than hot.
The backgrounds are really innovative, as well; particularly the tower scene--in this scene, you are climbing a tower, and the curved tower wall behind you gives the illusion that it is rotating about you.
