Version Two[edit]
Several people over on the Castlevania talk page have spoken out in support of the abominations that are tables (just kidding...). While I'm still kind of ambivalent on the idea, I started playing around with things to see if I could come up with a better looking alternative to the current presentation while still sticking with tables. Here's what I came up with. It completely omits the "notes" column in favor of a "Japanese title" column, which is what the notes were primarily being used for in the original table, anyway.... --Seancdaug 06:20, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
