Enjoy.

Interesting game, but maybe not for small children due to animated gore and
the unique gory death cut scenes in the game if your guy dies. You can be a noble knight, or a butthead conquering warlord. The nods to CastleVania, Zelda, particularly Link's Adventure, and even Contra, make for some retro styled gaming.
Jackal's a pretty solid Konami NES title. 2 players. gun that always shoots forward, grenades and missiles that can be aimed in any direction but you gotta turn fast, and a high-octane soundtrack you may or may not use to start your morning with!
Great music, graphics, has the elements of River City Ransom that some may desire, and has some great goofy humor peppered throughout the game! I recommend!
Kudos to Nintendo for making this game different enough from the NES game. Another one that's fun to run through when the mood is right. Egyptian levels in any game are always cool.
I couldn't get past the boss that had my team member stuck inside them. Usually I prefer real time battling, but I logged in some hours on this one none the less.
I haven't finished this one yet, but I plan to. When I saw the commercials for this, I was really excited. A 3D 'Vania sounded mind blowing at the time. I may change my stars after I play through it? Still proud of Konami for taking a chance. I guess Legacy of Darkness is supposed to be what this game would have been like if the developers had proper time to complete making it?
Maybe deserves a fourth star, but it was harder than than the first game, but the kid in me says three stars lol. I first discovered it on the All Stars collection.
This game's still on fire and a fun revisit. Had a birthday party as a kid years ago that had the Sega Genesis version being played in one room and the SNES in the other.
Pretty good CastleVania. Like the multipaths and characters. I played the SNES version first, but if you're picky, go with this one. Hopefully another Konami collection will have it out again soon.
Not a bad game at all. Definitely that classic arcade feel. The simplicity of it can have me playing it for a long time if I let myself. And one you could still play with the kids, so that's nice.
Certainly an interesting contribution to the fighting games genre! A wacky gem from the past. one I'd paly again just to re-witness the odd but fun graphics.
As a kid, the simplicity of slash my way through the Foot Clan was the direct and to the point game my kid patience could handle. I appreciate the first game more as an adult. Glad the Cowabunga Collection is here, especially with the first arcade game online play!
Not a game I spent a lot of time on. If you're looking for classic gamer rage, you will find it here. Maybe paly it with a friend so you have someone to share the laughs and heartbreak this game will supply!
Classic game for sure. Buy it on your platform of choice! And go check out the fan made hack called "Oh No! More Zombies Ate My Neighbors" to keep zany B-movie gaming times rolling!
No argument about the good graphics and music they did here. It can be a bit of a wonky game. I sort of just would hold the jump and shoot buttons through large portions of it, and for the most part, that will carry you through the game. But, if you're a big fan of the movies, give this one and the other two a good old lightsaber whirl.
A Metroid-like game for sure. Great soundtrack that takes me back to those early NES days. There's now a trilogy of sequels, or maybe it's a retelling, of games that have the NES look, but with some 16 and 32 bit bits going on as well. Note - if you've played Fester's Quest, I'm pretty sure they used the gun mechanics from BM in FQ. Game on good people.
Made by Capcom, it's a good game overall. The controls take a bit of getting used to, but once you've got them, strap in for a journey. Great soundtrack.
The most jam packed MetroidVania the original CastleVania SOTN team put together for sure. If you don't mind putting in the grind, you can make your character a god. Beautiful graphics and music.
I liked this one overall. Maybe partly because I could beat it, and it has some cool moves the bros can do. There's a fan game out there now called ULTIMATE DOUBLE DRAGON based on this one that I highly recommend. The creators have poured their love of fighting games into it until the cup runeth over.
This one may have impressed me more as a kid. The Dragons travel the world! Fighting ninjas! Getting to BE a ninja! The Kung Fu guy is so slow... (I later learned how powerful is strikes were and have new respect - and maybe the Bruce Lee nerd I became). I appreciate the hack that gives more life and the ability to play as both "Bimmy" and Jimmy.
Pretty epic for a Gameboy game right? Zelda in your pocket, or one of those rad carrying cases from back in the day. I think this was the first game I played on my first OG GB.
Like CastleVania II: Simon's Quest, this game tried something different for a sequel before internet poles could influence. Kudos to N-do for doing so. I'll leave any shredding to the AVGN.
Looking back, this game played like an arcade game. The soundtrack was movie worthy. The flame thrower is one of my favorite incarnations of the =F=. And dang, this one could be brutal on Hard mode. But gosh, Hard Corps is harder right?
I appreciate the strategy needed to beat this game much more as an adult. My kid patience game (pun?) handled TMNTs 2 The Arcade Game on NES better, but now I think I want to do a playthrough of this game at some point.
It's not this game's fault that it kicks your butt at least 1,000 times. I recommend using nothing but an infinite lives code, maybe even being so bold as to paly with a friend, laugh your butt off every time you die, cuz it's going to happen. A lot. Find the fun and game on.
An interesting twist of story telling for sure. Beautiful graphics, well done voice acting. If you're a fan of the franchise, I say give it a try - just don't expect it to be what has come before it.
