Very nice! These videos make me want to go back and play the older ones.

Yeah, same here. I enjoyed that, Thanks!

One of my friends has some people that want to branch out of a WoW podcast into a general gaming podcast. I'll see if we can get some kind of Castlevania edition around Halloween, but this is a big "if".

Happy birthday, Castlevania. We all still love you, even if your parents don't.

Lol, I love the conclusion. Someone needs to take that screenshot of "2D will never die!!!" and spam COX's Twitter with it.

I'm with you on this one!!!

Sindra, awesome work as always!!! 

[Chernabogue]

AWESOME! Good job Sindra!

Good job with your retrospective on the series there, Sindra.    I think all of these Castlevania tributes are helping to raise awareness of the 25th Anniversary and that's certainly a good thing!

Crisis and Nemesis --I must say I'd recommend against spamming the Twitter account --at least for now...  Everyone needs to remember that Dave Cox is NOT a Konami employee --he's the front man for Mercury Steam.  His company was contracted to develop Castlevania in 3-D --there's no evidence whatsoever that 2-D was ever part of the negotiation.  Is he an insider with any influence?  Perhaps he is...  But even if that were true, he's still 100% beholden to Konami's corporate puppet-masters --who no doubt want LOS2.  Bothering Cox about Konami's failures would be kind of like calling Gamestop to complain about release dates getting pushed back.

Now IF Konami washes its hands of Castlevania **as this 25th Anniversary seems to be indicating**  AND Mercury Steam assumes complete control of the series --then Cox becomes a legitimate target.  As a matter of fact, if Konami announces LOS2 without any official commitment to the Akumajo Dracula traditions, I think then it will be time to seriously consider boycotting Konami products.

Uh... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Cox part of Konami Europe? He was credited back in SotN.

Really?  I have not heard of that --let me do some fact checking to be sure...

Cox's twitter account says "Producer@Konami".
