Vampire Variations: A Musical Tribute to Castlevania (Old preview is old.) It will be released soon and may need some exposure.

This is exactly the sort of thing that should be coming up on Youtube when you search "Castlevania 25th Anniversary"  sadly there is very little to speak of...  One thing I would suggest is sharpening the quality of the video for a more polished final product.  I really wish I had the tools to record some high quality game footage, but even if I did --well, I'm already putting alot of time into this effort...  So anything the fanbase can do to generate 25th Anniversary buzz and take some of the burden off of my shoulders is a good thing. :-)

After I'm done with this next video I think I really need to take a break before the Anniversary actually arrives --it's not far off anymore...

I was gonna say that Chern has something coming down the pipeline that would fit.


I too will be doing a 25th Anniversary "In Review' vid in the next few weeks.

Why the hell can't Konami do something similar?
Like make a game that caters to new and old fans?
Harmony of Despair?  ;D

Plenty of old and new things, but in general exectuted wrong on so many levels. Personally I don't believe that they could do it right. Epsecially if IGA has something to do with it.

Just one question, how can they do it right?
I mean most of the games are flawed in some way, but still.

Kinda mind boggling.

Being "Right" is a subjective term, since everyone has differing tastes and preferences. It's trial and error, and sales usually dictate what sticks.

Mmm, 25th anniversary. Maybe it's time I finally get back to updating my website and opening my forum. My friend and I have also got a big ass Castlevania Youtube Channel that can come in handy with raising awareness about what fans think about Castlevania and showing people actually care about it and how it's handled. As for Operation Akumajo in particular, I can't say I agree with it, so I don't think I can do anything about that.

You know, the Stalker remix sounds somewhat similar to FFVIII's The Man with the Machine Gun to me. Then again, I'm listening to it in the middle of the night, so my ears might be playing tricks on me. :-\
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

You are now reading this in Robert Belgrade's voice.

Then Lords of Shadow 2 just takes a big, semi-solid, smelly, pea-green dump all over everything.

Another Reason: I didn't even know about it until now! :o

But technically I should have clicked 'I have already joined', because now I know about it :D

I joined because I want them to do something for the 25th anniversary, but for the rest of the objects, I really care nothing about. I thought Lords of Shadow was the best thing to happen to the franchise in ages, and there seems like there is a lot of hate toward that game. I'm all up for 2D and 2.5 D games, don't get me wrong. I'd love to see what they would do with Castlevania III.

I just wanted something for the anniversary....
