==Franchise description== | |||
The ''Castlevania'' series made its debut on the {{iw|wikipedia|Famicom Disc System}}, before being released internationally on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] as ''{{iw|wikipedia|Castlevania|1986 video game}}. However, the franchise would debut through the game's sister release for the {{iw|wikipedia|MSX2}} in Europe instead, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Vampire Killer}}''. The game follows vampire hunter [[Simon Belmont]] of the Belmont clan, a bloodline devoted to defeating Dracula whenever he is resurrected, on his journey through [[Dracula]]'s [[Dracula's Castle|Castle]] to defeat Dracula himself. This first installment would notably introduce the concepts of the Belmont clan's continued bloodline, the series' mascot being Simon Belmont, and a single warrior (though in later installments, occasionally several) venturing to Dracula's Castle in order to slay him. Simon would later appear in the game's direct sequel, ''{{iw|wikipedia|Castlevania II: Simon's Quest}}'', originally released in 1987, followed Simon's journey to undo a curse placed on him following Dracula's death. Since these two titles, Simon has most prominently appeared in retellings of the original title, notably ''{{iw|wikipedia|Super Castlevania IV}}'' and ''{{iw|wikipedia|Castlevania Chronicles}}''. | |||
