The only way Simon can break the count's curse is to find five of Dracula's body parts (which are mysteriously strewn throughout Transylvania) and burn them.
Gameplay-wise, Simon's Quest is quite different from its predecessor, combining side-scrolling action and platforming with strong role-playing elements.
The game does not feature the traditional stages but allows the player to freely roam the land of Transylvania in the style of Nintendo's Metroid .
The game world is divided into outdoor areas, dungeon-like mansions containing crucial quest items, and towns, where Simon can talk to non-player characters, rest, and buy items in shops.
Some areas can only be accessed by equipping and using specific items that must be bought or found.
The RPG elements are present in character growth, monetary system, and weapon upgrades.
Simon's initial whip can be replaced by more powerful variants that can be purchased in various towns.
Hearts are used as currency in the game and are obtained from defeated enemies in different quantities.
The same hearts also function as experience points: after Simon has accumulated a set amount, he levels up and his attributes are increased.
The game features a day and night cycle that occurs at accelerated pace in real time.
At night, enemies inflict more damage, but also drop more hearts upon defeat.
Shops are closed during nighttime, and townspeople are replaced by wandering zombies.
About Nintendo 3DS
The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.
Gamevaro tracks Castlevania II: Simon's Quest for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
