Intensity and several new features
This is a platform fighter game that incorporates some from Castlevania I, in that you have a solid quest, and Castlevania II where you have a choice as to the leg of the path you chose. This game has amazing new features, characters and weapons! You start the game as Trevor Belmnot, vampire hunter who's goal as usual is to kill Dracula. On your quest, you meet up with Sypha, who is a magician with powerful and awesome spells. Grant who is a theif and who may stick to walls and ceilings... it is difficult to get him to stick though. Alucard who is Dracula's son, he doesn't offer much other than turning into a bat. Along the quest there are several new and old monsters, bosses and challenges. This game is very challenging, so much so that it does get annoying, and the game has probably the greatest graphics ever for Nintendo!

Beautiful.
Personally, Konami is my favorite group of publishers/developers. I always find myself becoming quite attached to their games, ever since I played Castlevania ][: Simon's Quest and the unbelievably superb Super Castlevania IV. So it's pretty needless to say that I like Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, with its multiple paths and multiple character gameplay (pretty unusual at the time and, obviously, well accepted since then). If you like the other Castlevanias (including Symphony of the Night, even though it's drastically different), I'm sure you'll like this'ne.

A Classic
One of the greatest games ever to be released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

It is actually a prequel to Castlevania and Castlevania 2.

The gameplay has returned to the more traditional Castlevania (removing the RPG gameplay from the second one). However in this game you can choose your path to the castle and you can have another charactor to help you along (you will "bump" into them during your quest).

This I consider to be in the top ten catigory as one of the greatest games ever to be released for NES.

A true Classic
