[edit] List of Castlevania titles

Where would be a good place to include the List of Castlevania titles in the template? No particular spot really jumped out at me. Any ideas? (Guyinblack25 ^talk 14:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC))

You could change the title bar from "Castlevania series" to "Castlevania series (List of titles)". Or just give up and add an "Other" or "Related articles" section, I guess. --DocumentN (talk) 06:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't notice this edit war was going on until after I changed it. My main gripe is that even after separating hand held games from console games, everything is still lumped together and not very organized. Furthermore, it seems a bit unfair to separate games into consoles vs. handhelds as this partitioning does not reflect significant differences in game play, graphics, and other areas. For instance the game most similar to Symphony of the Night is Dawn of Sorrow, but the former is on a console (Playstation) and the latter is on a handheld (Nintendo). Also, the current grouping lumps Haunted Castle together with colsole games, which is misleading as it was originally an arcade game. Thanks for your consideration.

Hey there Sephiroth BCR. You implied that Castlevania's switch to handled consoles was an important change in the series. "...your template fails to distinguish between the portable and non-portable Castlevania titles, which was a big jump for the series and an important division." I have to disagree. When Castlevania first move to portable consoles (Castlevania:The Adventure for Game Boy) it's game play remained similar to that of it's NES counterparts. So, I have to assume that you are referring primarily to the jump to the Gameboy Advance. However, the vast majority of significant changes in these games (as well as the DS games) first occurred in Castlevania:Symphony of the Night for the Playstation. Thus, I believe that your statement is erroneous and that it dose not support the idea that a template fails to distinguish between portables and non-portables is somehow inferior. Please correct me if I have misinterpreted you. Also, with regards to my previous edits which you reversed, I do not feel that a table being "too big" merits a reversal, especially if it provides more information to the users. Thank you.
