Games You NEED To Play For Halloween | Kid Dracula By Konami
I will admit that Halloween is not one of my favorite times of year. I don't like blood, guts, or gore. As such, I'm kind of particular in the Halloween-themed games that I play each October. As such, I wanted to share some of my favorite games to play around Halloween with you. Up first, one of the best games for the Nintendo Famicom and one of the games I feel you need to play for Halloween, this is Kid Dracula.
Known as Akumajō Special Boku Dracula-kun, in Japan, Kid Dracula is based in the world of Castlevania by Konami, but instead of playing as Simon Belmont you actually get to play as Dracula himself, or more specifically a younger, kid version of Dracula. Heavily inspired by other games in the series, kid Dracula's first level is actually the map essentially from the very first game.
Kid Dracula definitely leans more on the cute side of things than the horror side of things. For example, one of the early enemies you will go up against is Frankenstein's monster, but you can't help but think how cute they look. There's no blood, there's no decapitations or anything along those lines, and where Konami definitely made cute 'em up vertical shooters such as Parodius da, this could be almost classified as a cute 'em up and the Castlevania series. I love the animation, the music is just phenomenal, and this is a ton of fun to play.
While Kid Dracula was available originally on the Nintendo Famicom, it never made its way to the NES. Instead, Konami actually ported it to the Game Boy. Until recent years that was the only Americanized version of Kid Dracula you could play. Thankfully, Konami included it in the Castlevania collection for the Nintendo Switch and other platforms, and it looks and plays marvelously with modern display power behind it.
This is just one of several games that I love playing this time of year. Let me know what are some of your favorite Halloween, October, or spooky-themed games you love.
