This Old Neon Forum

This Old Neon is standing with Castlevania mastermind Koji Igarashi by excluding Konami’s pachinko machines from this super-bracket, and instead including the recent Bloodstained games as unofficial “official” Castlevania entries. If you don’t think they should be included, we invite you not to vote for them.

• You can vote for up to sixteen (16) games.
• The top 16 games will advance to the Round of 16.
• You can’t change your votes once they’ve been submitted, so click carefully. Voting closes on Saturday at 11:59 P.M. ADT.

A rare series: the original classics, the 16-bit era "super" entries (Super, Bloodlines, and Rondo), and the GBA and DS trilogies are all pretty excellent, consistent, and compelling in their own ways.
