VS 31 - Castlevania Showdown! Is Castlevania 1 or 2 the Better Game? 🦇🎮 | Terrible Gamers Podcast

In Vs. 31 of The Terrible Gamers Podcast, Kevin and Kyle go head-to-head in a retro gaming battle to settle a classic debate: Which is the better game—Castlevania or Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest?

The original Castlevania (NES) is a tough-as-nails action-platformer with tight controls, brutal difficulty, and legendary boss fights. Meanwhile, Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest introduced RPG elements, an open-world design, and a day/night cycle—but was it an innovative masterpiece or a frustrating mess?

Watch as our hosts compare gameplay, level design, mechanics, and overall fun factor while tackling both NES classics. Expect hilarious moments, heated opinions, and plenty of retro gaming nostalgia as we settle the Castlevania 1 vs. 2 debate once and for all!

Do you prefer the classic action of Castlevania 1 or the open-ended adventure of Simon's Quest? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
