Is Castlevania heavily RPG based?

I want something where I shoot people, go in other worlds, jump, fly, go invisible, whatever.

No RPG crap.

Castlevania is more of a platform game than an RPG. I would recommend both of them, as well as Metroid Fusion.

I don't think so. At least, it wasn't for Nintendo.

Now I want to play it..... :D

It's backwards compatible..............


I haven't kept up with releases but the best game of all time is the original Nintendo version tetris(sorry Tengen).

There are some RPG elements in Castlevania, but pretty simple to the point that you can just forget it and whip some monster behind.
It's really fun.

Maybe if they have a demo of Castlevania running at CC or BB I'll give it a test spin.

Any good racing games?

A really fun puzzle game for GBA is Super Puzzle Fighter 2 (I highly recommend it).

For action games you'll probably like Metroid Fusion and both Castlevania games. Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World and Zelda: A Link to the Past are great also ( if you didn't really play them back on Super Nintendo then they are must haves).

Edit: game titles bolded so you can just skim through the text.
 

I am an Advance Wars crack whore this week. Great game if you have the patience for turn based strategy.

Hey Rossman,

Found any deals on the GBA SP? I'm thinking of purchasing it and wasting some of my time on the plane. :) And thanks guys for the update on recommend games.
