Super Famicom - Akumajou Dracula (aka SC4) - Mode 7 a gogo

[sugreev2001]

Damn,I love this game.

Why did they give the name "Akumajo Dracula" to essentially every CV game in Japan?

[Kafei2006]

@AkumajoDracuIa Why did they give the name "Castlevania" to essentially every Akumajô Dracula game outside Japan lol XD ?

[cnh2132]

@AkumajoDracuIa In Japan they used as a title what the game is about. The first one was called Akumajou Dracula because it took place in Dracula's Castle mainly, the second one is called Dracula 2: Noroi no fuuin (The Accursed Seal) and it is about the curse that the main hero has to remove, the third one was called Akumajou Densetsu (the legend of the demon castle) and it says in the intro it is about the legendary Dracula and the first Belmont to face him. The title is based on the theme there

The 4th stage was my favorite level. The rest of the levels just sucked.

I really feel that the limited hardware drove developers to make a truly interesting game instead of making flashy graphics to sell. Then when something like this was pulled off, it added to the awesome factor, instead of us expecting it.

mode 7 is really good for making 2d grapics look like 3d. The rotating room makes you dizzy and pushes the hardware limits!

[Jegudiel21ZX]

this game pushes the limits of the SNES

[arinlares]

wow. simple system, great 3D. why can't we have this nowadays?

[BvsMAcosh]

That's not 3d just looks like it.

[MertHacks]

@arinlares

Thats Mode 7 ;)

I remember my jaw dropping when I saw the rotating room back when this game came out. It's amazing what game developers managed to do with the relatively limited capabilities of the SNES!
