Really well done, great presentation and just fun to watch. We've all seen dozens of these videos before but I had to share this one, Konami's official Castlevania FB page just posted about it.

Really impressive visuals. I mean most the info I knew like I'm sure most of us here do but it was really cool how they did several effects

I love how in Part 1, the background music for CV2 is that of the FDS version and the one for CV3 is the Japanese VRC6 version.

As mentioned before the info is well known however the way he lays it out in the vid is interesting to watch. I hope to see part 3 sometime soon.

These retrospectives always seem like such a wasted opportunity to me. Like X said, it's all information everybody already knows. For example, wouldn't it have been interesting how Bloodlines is actually a spin-off? I understand it's only mentioned in an old Japanese magazine, but it shows no one ever does more than the most basic of research for these videos. It's probably alright if you know absolutely nothing about Castlevania, but still.
