Oh scrwl! You should played them. Lots of fun. Veryreminiscent of ninja gaiden but in 2D. I played the nes and snes ones, but the ones that ticked me were all the the subsequent to symphony of the night. Apparently the games got certain format in SOTN and most games that came after had that same awesome juice. First I played Dawn of Sorrow, that was for the nintendo DS. Graphics were superb, music, everything, I got hooked, then wanted to play some predecessors and played all the gameboy advance ones, circle of the moon, harmony of dissonance and aria of sorrow which is the first that features Soma Cruz, the guy you use in dawn of sorrow - a reincarnation of dracula :[ . Also in dawn of sorrow you can use Alucard at certain point which is tons of fun all super powerful and elegant hahaha. Then it came out other for the nintendo DS wich change a little the mechanics, you used two characters at same time, which you could swap between. It was really nice cuz one was a vampire hunter, melee based character and the other was a girl that used magic for attacking. They could make powerful magic comobos. Look at this power:

They summon all Belmonts for attacking!
Awesome animations that game has. Called portrait of ruin. I've only seen the first part of the netflix series, but was really cool. Love this chibi series mate. I wonder who's next :D
