*scratches the back of his head*
It sounds somewhat too ambitious to my liking though. I take you've read the FAQ?

It would be nice if you've played any of the CastleVania's but it is not required.
You can always read up on it later. I have plenty of resources for that.

If you think I'm being over ambitious, you have no idea what I'm capable of.
