Still would love a Vampire War 1999 game to be made though.

It's hard to believe that CastleVania is 40 years old. I was born in 1996, So CastleVania celebrated it's 10th anniversary at the year. 2006 was the 20th anniversary, 2016 was the 30th anniversary. Now this year, 40th anniversary. That's insane. Who's excited for CastleVania: Belmont's Curse?

After watching me play, my mom would play this sometimes. She couldn't get past the 3rd board. Great memories

Strong foundational Wall Meat keeps that castle afloat. It's the best construction load-bearer,

Been playing Castlevania fpr 38 of it’s 40 years… This is an INCREDIBLE perspective on the franchise and its legacy. Love all your Castlevania videos! May the Belmonts forever hunt the night!

The Castlevania 3 opening music playing in the background was a great start bro. That music has been seared into my mind since I rented it from Blockbuster as a kid. (It helps that I own an original copy as well.)

The original Castlevania still stands as one of the best games of the NES. Easily within the top 5. I cannot keep track of which Castlevania games I've played and which ones I missed over the years. The only thing I remember about the N64 era is I didn't like the one I played.

I remember playing the first nes game before 2 released. This is by far one of my favorite franchise anniversary. Love that I've been there through it all so far. Can't wait for the new game. Been to long.

The new Castlevania does look really interesting and I'm looking forward to it. Have mine pre-ordered already set to go. With that being said though I do think that th Classic 8 bit and 16 bit era gameplay would be a refreshing change of pace from what has become Kind of the run of the mill zip and dashing around of today's Metroid Vania Style games.<br>Either way I am sure it will be a lot of fun and I am excited for a new entry and 1 of my favorite series. Excellent video as always my man. Keep up the great work.
