Despite becoming a meme, this game is legitimately a great entry in the Genesis library.īattletoads is an infamously difficult game to begin with, made even harder by the fact that the game has no save system nor even a password system to resume play later. You could finally call stores and ask if they have Battletoads in stock and be somewhat sincere. Uniquely, the game has “super subweapons” for each character, as well as third-level whip/spear upgrades that disappear once the player takes damage. There’s also a second character named Eric Lecarde, who would appear under the alias “Wind” in Portrait of Ruin.

John Morris is the son of Quincy Morris from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, and the father of Jonathan Morris from Portrait of Ruin. Starring John Morris, the game is a classic-style Castlevania that plays similarly to Super Castlevania IV, featuring diagonal whipping, downward whipping, and whip swinging Indiana-Jones-style. A direct sequel, Portrait of Ruin, was made for the DS with no rerelease or in-game unlockable. Even Rondo of Blood, made for the relatively low-key PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, saw a port to the Wii’s Virtual Console and the PSP as an extra in Dracula X Chronicles.

Castlevania: Bloodlines (AKA Castlevania: The New Generation in PAL regions, Vampire Killer in Japan)įor some inexplicable reason, Konami has never re-released Bloodlines.
