Game Overview

Famicom Mini 29: Akumajou Dracula is a Game Boy Advance release from 2004, part of a series of classic NES titles republished by Nintendo. It arrived late in the handheld's life, offering a portable version of the 1986 original that helped define the action-platformer genre. Konami developed the game, and this re-release preserves the core experience without added frills or alterations.

You control Simon Belmont, a vampire hunter armed with a whip, moving through a large, interconnected castle. Your goal is to defeat Count Dracula by exploring screen by screen, fighting monsters like bats and zombies, and collecting secondary weapons such as axes or holy water. The game requires careful timing to attack and avoid enemies, with a deliberate pace that emphasizes precision over speed. It is known for its high difficulty, with limited continues and enemies that respawn when you leave a room. Playing it feels like a tense, methodical test of patience and skill.
