Before Konami took it to PS2, a 3D Castlevania came out for the N64. It didn't get a good rep, but I liked it. I still think it had some great cinematics.
It had a day/night cycle that you hardly noticed, because the environment barely went a shade darker. The indoor settings looked much better than the outdoor.
Not by much, though. This game had a sequel, but you can look at these scenes and imagine a different main character for visuals.
