It's not only one of the best Castlevanias, but one of my favorite games ever. They NEED to remake it. It's a masterpiece. It has an incredible soundtrack, amazing graphics and special effects, great levels that are each different and awesome in their own way, extra characters, the bosses are well designed, secrets everywhere, it's a long game with different paths, it gets hard as fuck later on but it's definitely beatable, different endings...

I was disappointed the game wasn't more like Simon's Quest, but almost everything about Castlevania III is perfect and even though the SNES was coming out soon, this game made you not give a fuck.

Next is SoTN, Bloodlines, Dawn of Sorrow, Aria of Sorrow, Simon's Quest, Dracula X, Castlevania Chronicles, Dracula XX. I actually don't like IV as much as everyone else seems to. It was just not very exciting, and kind of annoying. I like the soundtrack though.
