Ahh I'll be there Saturday only. Have fun, glad you're feeling better!

Hey! Sorry but I'm not heading to RetroGameExpo this year. Im going to AnimeNYC. But have fun!

I know you are friends or at least know Cygnus Destroyer. If you know of a way to reach out, please ask if that creator is ok and will every come back to youtube. We really miss that creator.

May i ask something. I already did what you say but it started blinking and I couldn't press the X button but X button has been repaired a few days ago

So, gotta admit that neither Lady Laci or I have ever been into any wrestling (except our own lol), be it TV or games, etc., BUT, I trust you guys so I'm going into this on your expertise and love of video game music alone. There's a portion in that Ted Dibiase's Theme track that makes me think of the song "Cleveland Rocks," specifically the "all the little chicks with their crimson lips" put to the parts that Mike would sing to. I'm kinda digging this Iron Lips' Theme from Toukon club track. Also, ha ha on the Hulk Hogan Gremlins 2 4th wall break, nice deep cut there. Rumble Roses, NOW we're talking LOL, though that track is pretty sweet. WCW vs the World Main Menu song makes me think of the intro to a late 90s action sitcom. Meanwhile, WWF Attitude Menu gives me Twisted Metal vibes. Super Fire Pro Wrestling X "Super J" could be used as a ship select tune in a shoot-em-up; like that screen the gives all the arbitrary info of ship weight and speed, but also where you customize your 16 bit loadout. All right, so again, not a wrestling fan, but good music here and thus, a fun show--thanks so much you guys!

Sometimes you see a video that you wish you could like multiple times. Thank you for this. I really enjoyed the history and revelled in your appreciation of the gem that is MYSTIC WARRIORS. Found this game accidentally while messing with MAME and I'm eternally glad that I did, for all the reasons you praise it for in the video. Thank you for being a cheerleader for this wonderful work ❤❤❤ So glad it finally got released on current platforms as I fully agree about preferring not to steal 🙏

I barely remember the cartoon... I do agree that I would have enjoyed seeing stills or cut scenes that involved the other characters. That's cool that they can hide inside the boxes. 9:05 Ah, I can see how the valves could be confusing and who knows why they turn off the ones above. Every little girl has a rocket ship growing up. I'd like to give this game a shot sometime, nice review!

as a romanian my fam name is simular to hers 😭😭😭

Well as a long time castlevania fan, i was introduced to dead cells and i love it. It's even better when you unlock custom mode, its basically a cheat mode but you do need to unlock stuff by playing so it's not full god mode and i think its great for more casual players like you and me sir.

this was the first game i ever beat. I remember beating it and being so happy

I only briefly played this game via emulator when it wasn't too old, perhaps 2001 or 2002, and maybe it was my old computer or the rom itself being so early, but it worked a bit wonky and I barely could play a couple levels. I couldn't afford the game (plus the Expansion Pack) so I gave up. But just a couple months ago I was checking my huge "to play" list on Xbox and saw Rare Replay, so I thought it was the perfect time to play it… and damn, it's good. It's SO good. The new visuals look fantastic, the Xbox controller works perfect, the gadgets are so cool and fun to use, the variety of levels and things you gotta do in them is great (except the snow caverns level, I hate it), overall is a highly recommended experience.

(Leaving multiple comments as I have multiple thoughts and I want to be able to seperate my trains of thought here) I think the linguistics of everything would be interesting, esp as "Richter" is a Geman name that means "judge", and "Juste" (which in French is pronounced juiced) is the French word for "fair". I love diving into the linguistics of all the names, as some of them have meanings that are very interesting. "Cruz" means "cross" as well, wrt Soma. I actually have a lot of opinions about how names are used in this series, as "Mina" clearly comes from and is based on Mina Harker from the original Dracula novel. (Though this video is almost 3yrs old by the time I'm seeing it so it's possible you've made a video on this topic since then :) )

I think it's interesting that Juste is never verified to be directly related to Richter, and in this it says that Richter is Simon's grandson, and in HoD it's also stated that Juste is Simon's grandson. It could be that these are both true, and that they're cousins! They're 40 yrs apart so it's be complicated (and the timeline better lends itself to Juste being the grandson of Simon), but if Simon had multiple children and the siblings are far enough apart i suppose it... could? still make sense. somehow. That said I think the timeline would better lend itself to Richter being a bit more spaced out from Simon

looks like our chuddy is getting cranky

V rising's Castlevania cameo is not bad, the dlc that shows up on steam is actually just optional Castlevania skins, but the actual content came into the game for free for anyone who owns it, and it came in the form of a new weapon type (whips) and a Simon fight that's honestly one of the most fun bosses in the game IMO, it's more fitting considering you play as a vampire in that game. It's not for everyone, but it's not meant to be, same as DbD, it's meant to appeal to those fans who would have probably liked the game anyways, but didn't have a push to try it, i wouldn't have cared for a castlevania crossover with vampire survivors just because i'm not a fan of the gameplay of vampire survivors, that doesn't make it a bad crossover, it's just not for me. That being said, the series as a whole is due for a new game (an actual one)

We're getting old. Tick, tock.

idc, its cool.

Let me guess. Heard of the collab between DBD and Castlevania?

To be fair, DBD needed a vampire and castlevania has the most popular dracula of today.

Some hard truths is im not sure how much interest there is for a brand new Castevania game. It could also be that Konami is trying to sew the seeds with the anime, the game tie ins, to gauge if people want a new game or not. The "we" you refer to with people who want a new stand alone game I think is a rather small population. Its easier to license the likeness of characters or music out then it is to develop a whole new game

Dbd is kinda different from other ones. This on kinda maies more sense. The game is supposed to be collage of horror. I think it works for dbd but others not so much y'know.

I feel like cameos are the best they can muster at this point because Konami feels like they're in the process of like... re-awakening from their long period of AAA-inactivity where they focused on smaller games for Japan only. Now they're trying to bring back Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid, probably thinking those games are a higher priority than Castlevania, and we MAY get Castlevania big budget game once they see the fall-out from their current initiatives. Also, the regular issues of "what century do we even cover in the old timeline that weren't already taken" or "our attempted reboot kinda floundered" may also have them panic a bit and have a hard time choosing a new direction.

I agree 100% that a new Casltevania is needed at this point. But I also can't agree that I dislike cameos in other games. Like how Smash celebrates video games, Dead By Daylight celebrates horror franchises. It has classic killers like Myers, Pinhead, and Chuckie, as well as video game icons like Pyramid Head, Nemesis, and upcoming Five Nights at Freddies. While I've never considered Casltevania a horror franchise, showing respect to it and adding it in as representation is fine. Enjoyable even. It's not like Konami is WORKING on the cameos in other games, so it's not taking away from their time to make their own game.

We dont want em either bro. DBD collab looks trash sadly.

Man all we can do is hope!

dead by daylight fit well with Castlevania so I’m not complaining about that and I’m an avid dbd and castlevania player so I was happy with it but I understand why others would not be

At first glance I thought the gameplay was leaning a little too close to Megaman Zero (a dash ability, lightsaber and the "buzz-saw jump of death"), but then I remembered that oh yeah- Luke actually made those jump-attacks first in the Super Star Wars-games. Really wish they'd re-release those... Anyway! This game seems ambitious and with a lot of facets to it... just not as polished as it could have been. Here's to hoping the mouse pays you for your high-effort and very emotionally convincing advertisements... but we shall have to see where that goes for ya.

Weird that, as a fan, someone would prefer getting nothing (as proven by the company's lack of interest in making "something else") instead of collaborations. I mean, you can still voice your opinion, but be aware that is a stupid opinion.

As a dead by daylight player, this is a great collab coming up, and it makes me excited to check out castlevania, both the games and the animated series. But I never considered the perspective of a castlevania fan. Sorry this disappoints you but maybe you’d be willing to give dbd a try (though they are not really similar games at all)

Largely this feels like a good alternative if you don't want to deal with the SNES series of games. I beat one of those and it honestly feels like a fever dream. The addition of force moves feels like a great idea and way more fun, plus that sprite looks super solid! shame they don't have that good light saber feel. Fantastic work here. I may need to check this out!

How about Dead by Daylight?

I get it. But also, there's 30+ Castlevania games and the franchise is far from dead atm. We've had 5 seasons of a whole entire Castlevania show in the past several years on top of all these crossovers. I understand lots of fans dislike the show (especially the "IGA timeline" purist crowd, who always seem to miss the irony in being purist for what was itself highly unfaithful to the original Castlevania titles). But it's still there, it exists, it's quite popular overall. Castlevania has not been dead since 2008. The LoS trilogy exists and ended in 2014 (again I get lots of fans dislike those but so what, lots of fans dislike Castlevania 2, or the Sorrow games, or the PS2 games etc.) If the idea is that because these releases aren't totally the same as what Castlevania began as, by that logic (and I'd actually agree) the last "real" Castlevania game was Legacy of Darkness. In 1999. Before all the titles that fans seem to always complain are being "betrayed". Bit of a tangent there, but ultimately relevant because Castlevania is treated by so many fans as if it's a cold corpse being abused for profit when in reality it's a very much alive franchise that has just branched out into directions that certain fans aren't interested in. I totally get that we all want an actual new game. I'd love that! Although who would it be aimed at? Who would it actually please? I don't want another IGA copy/paste game. Many do. I want a game that follows the original games style, more classic horror action game less final fantasy metroid clone, but relatively few other fans seem to want that. There are probably more Netflixvania fans at this point than any other subsection of fans, should the new game not be aimed at them then? Even Lords of Shadow had a bigger audience than common fan wants like a 1999 game. I'm not saying they shouldn't make a new game, they absolutely should (and should have done so already to capitalise on the netflix show's initial hype). But I'm not seeing the rush here. There's a fair bit going on with Castlevania as a whole franchise these days and there's never really been a totally dead period for more than just a few years (2014 for LoS2 2017 for season 1). And once a new game comes out it'll split the fans down the middle again anyway (and I imagine it'll be the same general crowd of fans picking holes and complaining as it almost always is with Castlevania). This isn't aimed at you or any individuals specifically at all, I'm just saying I don't think Castlevania is being that badly mishandled and that these crossover cameos are part of a larger picture, which doesn't say "dead" to me at all.

Bitching to bitch I hate gamers now days

Yeah, Smash and Dead Cells definitely felt like the most passionate crossovers for the IP. Especially Dead Cells, that genuinely felt like a new Castlevania game to an extent. The other ones though, nah, those definitely feel like cash grabs. As for Vampire Survivors, I actually made a video on this a bit ago, but part of me wants to say that the reason why they didn’t do a Castlevania crossover is because there’s already a bunch of Castlevania assets that are in the game. Not inspired, like straight up ripped assets. I swear I saw sprites of the bone pillars from CV3, and Death from Bloodlines in this game. And the whip wielding character Antonio, already looks like Simon Belmont from Haunted Castle lol

Multiple times walking around in a game store I saw the Castlevania logo and got really excited, but then I realize it was the Dead Cells thing and felt disappointed.

The pain and blueballing of castlevania colabs is crazy. obakeidoro( like ghost prision or something)was interesting, dead cells was 🔥, smash is smash. But if there was one more I could stand for is under night inbirth a fighting game that could use julius or some, other than that, yeah, new game please konami.

i love this episode so much, and its my first episode :D

Multiplayer is a 1v1 space battle with classic Star Wars ships.

the song "Consider your self a hero" heavy "Contra" influence here i love it so much.

"Why are there bees on the death star?" "Those are death star bees."

I love honest rants. Honestly saying what most are thinking - right down to the Brooklyn accent 😂

on the cliffhanger song i hear MAJOR MegaMan X influence in this song. prolly the best song on the whole OST. i listen to this OST at least once a week or more ever since i found Infernax.

konami doesnt have any idea of what to do with their ips, pachinkos and whatever nonesense colaborations like this bs on dbd is annoying

So a video game IP with constant appearances in crossover games, re-releases of older titles, consistent merchandise, and even prominent non-gaming media with franchise characters featured but with no actual new games to call its own in a very long time. As a Donkey Kong Country fan, you have my sympathies.

I would love a new CV in the art style and gameplay style of Prince of Persia the Lost Crown.

Love the art behind you

Konami will pimp out the series like it's their only use of the series. Merchandising seems like their future for the IP.

I feel like this started with Bomberman on Switch and has only gotten worse.

*shakes fist at Konami*

I agree, they need to just make another good Castlevania already 😭
