The original Japanese Rondo on the PC engine, which we finally only ever officially got over here in the West with the remake on PSP (confusingly called Dracula X Chronicles, despite it not being the SNES game Dracula X, but the original Rondo game from Japan, just with 3-D models and spruced up graphics) and later in the Rondo of Blood/Stmphony of the Night collection on last gen. The ones you list as being much harder I also consider hard. In fact, the common consensus is that most of the pre-Igavania titles are all extremely difficult (not that I agree with the “X many people agree so it can’t be wrong!” approach, but this isn’t about if Bon Jovi is listenable, but instead something that, while still partially a subjective thing, is a tad objective also). I still remember Rondo of Blood’s almost mythical status when it was still only in Japan, a game that many said was considered the best Castlevania, but was also crushingly difficult. It’s Japan-only status and infamy for its difficulty made it a holy grail of sorts for more “hardcore” game fans. So, I think it must just come down to you being naturally good at it, which is awesome! However, calling it one of the easiest just struck me as funny, as it’s contrary to one of the only sole things we in the West knew for sure about it before we got it, which was its reputation for its difficulty. I only ever 100% games I love so that fact, along with some QOL improvements in the ROB/SOTN two-pack that came out, led to me doing so with both games. I can only speak for myself, but Rondo was a ton of fun and is probably the perfect CV to me. It also, though, was NOT easy. But maybe I just suck.

SH2 is probably "overrated" in TEH NOWODAYS. ^_^ You're the one who named the thread "Good games that you...". If I didn't think it was a good game in spite of it's flaws then I wouldn't have mentioned SH3 in this thread.
