Developer: Konami
The title loosely translates to "Demon Castle Special: I'm Kid Dracula".
This game is awesome. Figures it was never released in the U.S.!
The best way I have come up with to describe this game is this - it's like playing Mega Man, except instead of being a blue robot that shoots energy blasts, you are an anime-styled child Dracula that shoots fireballs. Yeah, it's that awesome. The game itself is very simple, but the art style and cutscenes have such charm that it made me want to keep playing it. This is the first game I've played so far that I actually enjoyed! Thanks Konami!
Yeaaaaaaah... The first boss does kind of look like a Ku Klux Klan member with a swastika on his forehead... Wonder if that had anything to do with it not being localized in the U.S....
I don't know if you know, but the protagonist of this game is actually Alucard from CastleVania, and the boss in Dracula from Castlevania. Konami screws up all their story lines and has a hard time holding up continuity, but this game is considered an offshoot from the series. Cool that you got to play it. I never got a chance to.
