Merrick Halstowe
Merrick Halstowe is the Research Editor byline of CastlevaniaGuide.com, an unofficial Castlevania reference site. The byline covers the site's research and editing: collecting official announcements, store pages and named media reports, and turning them into comparison tables, timelines and decision guides.
Each fact is attributed to the source that states it. Newer pages also record each source's publisher and the date it was checked. Ratings, rankings and recommendations are editorial judgment, and the page says what that judgment rests on. Where sources disagree, the page shows both versions.
Corrections are welcome at support@castlevaniaguide.com. A corrected page shows the date of the correction.
