[15] The first console title, Castlevania, was released on the Famicom Disk System in 1986 and in North America in 1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). [8] A 2D sidescrolling action game where the player progresses through six stages, many principal features of the Castlevania series originated with it. [16] It has been ported to many platforms, such as the NES Classic Edition. [17] Also released in 1986 was Vampire Killer for the MSX home computer, which played significantly differently from the original Castlevania, where players had to search for the exit before they could proceed to the next stage. [18] Following that year, in 1987, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest further departed from the standard platforming genre of the first Castlevania for a game more similar to the nonlinear gameplay of Metroid, with several role-playing elements such as a world map which the player is free to explore and revisit. [19][20] The franchise's first arcade game, Haunted Castle (1988), returned to the linear platforming gameplay of the original. [21] This continued with the first handheld Game Boy entry, Castlevania: The Adventure[22] and the NES sequel, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, both released in 1989. Dracula's Curse added features to the original gameplay, including alternate stages and multiple playable characters. [23] The Adventure saw a Game Boy sequel, Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, in 1992 and a remake, Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth, developed by M2 for the WiiWare service in 2009.
