Now this is the 1st castelvania game i have bought since the 1st one on the NES,and i have read about on the t'interweb that there is extra features in the saturn game.I have had a little play through however i would like to ask if anyone else just played through with richter 1st and then played through with alucard and maria?The only reason i ask is im all for playing a game to completion but am i doing the right thing?
Would i be better off starting with either of the other 2 characters?I dont want to miss anything but my thought process is when it was released on ps1 it only had richter to play with(or as far as i know) so am i better off playing the game with richter 1st or am i being pedantic?
Looking forward to see what you guys think.

D'oh just realised that in the ps1 version you start with alucard,note to self to read up about these things in future.

Alucard (The son of Dracula) is the main character in the saturn & ps1 games so he should be played first. Richter & Maria are just bonus characters.

Cheers rossdaboss, yeah i started the game again with alucard,i must say after hearing how poor(in comparison to the ps1 version) it was as a port i must say i think the game is fine.However without playing the ps1 game to compare im happy in my ignorance of it.Also do you know how many save blocks it uses of the internal ram as i dont have a memory cart and obviously with it being japanese i have no idea of what is written on the title screen and also the inventory page.

The Saturn has a built-in memory manager. You can check just by starting it up without a CD in the drive.

Yeah i did that martiniii i have to invest in a memory cart as i dont want my high scores on soukyu or dodonpachi erased.Last time my battery died i lost all the things i had unlocked in my capcom vs games and pandoras box on pd zwie. so i dont want that happening again.
