Castlevania (NES) - Visible time limit
Vampire Killer (MSX) - Visible time limit
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES) - No visible time limit, however there are two endings. The "bad" ending only shows up if you take too long to beat the game. However, the differences in the two endings are not really that big of a deal.
Haunted Castle (Arcade) - Visible time limit
Castlevania: The Adventure (GB) - Visible time limit
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES) - Visible time limit
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (GB) - Visible time limit

Castlevania Legends (GB) - Visible time limit
Castlevania 64 (N64) - No visible time limit, however there is an allotted time to make it to the final boss.
Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness (N64) - No time limit, though there may be a similar time limit to Castlevania 64... never finished this one, myself.
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (GBA) - No time limit
Castlevania Chronicles (PS1) - Visible time limit
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) - No time limit

Castlevania Judgment (Wii) - Time limit. This is a 3D fighting game, so the rounds have standard time limits to them.

Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (XBLA/PSN) - Visible time limit
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (360/PS3/PC) - No time limit
