NOP Presents Castlevania

Just in time for Halloween! NOP chats all things Castlevania..a video game series that recently turned 30. My experts include Gavin Donnellan, Jared Latore, and John Loos. My outcast is Jeremy Kanne...a major Mega Man and Zelda fan, but a novice when it comes to vampire killers. We take an in-depth look at the series, starting in the 80s, and chart its progression over the years from gaming system to gaming system. Which game in the series best captures the idea of Castlevania? Is Symphony of the Night overrated? Which Belmont is best? We chat all this and more on this frighteningly fun episode.

Music Selections included from Dracula Best 1 & 2 Soundtracks, Symphony of the Night, and Lords of Shadow, owned by Konami and included under fair use protection.
