  • besides the name, what other references could they possibly pull from the game?
  • Eh... didn't look appealing.
  • I was actually very cautious about this when I heard about but I watched the trailer and it looks like it could actually be good. I'm still a bit cautious but I'm optimistic.
  • Kind of sucks that they're only releasing what seems to be half of season 1. I hope it doesn't have some sort of weird drop-off point.



    Other than that though, I think the trailer is solid. I'm glad they aren't using that weird 3d Animation that I've seen pop up in a bunch of netflix exclusives as of late.
  • This could get me into anime. Well, for a season.



    Seems cool.
  • Could be fun. Hope it's fun. Keeping my expectations low just in case it turns out to be a complete mess. But I'm rooting for it.

    Looks dope.  Blowing in that repro cart was a nice touch too.





    Was that shell from Retro Zone?
  • I am super excited for this to come out!!!
  • Trailer looks amazing!
  • I'll be watching it!
  • I apologize if it's been pointed out elsewhere, but i believe the red cart that they use in the beginning of the trailer is a PowerPak with a custom label. You can see the black tab that's used to eject the compact flash card when they insert the cart.

  • Yes it is a PowerPak, they should have contacted me to build something that looks better than that crappy label

    I really don't know if I should be excited for this. As a Castlevania fan I SHOULD be excited for this but I'm also concerned it's going to suck, which is highly probable. But hey stranger things have happened.



    Yep, it did happen. Also on Netflix. And that show was great. Therefore, I'm sure this will be excellent!!! (not)

    Loll *slow clap* Yeah Stranger Things was amazing I can't wait for season 2. 



    *Plot Twist* Eleven opens a portal to Castlevania and the kids aid Simon Belmont in defeating Dracula.



    So basically, the plot of the Worlds of Power YA book:





     



    Nice find, I used to have this book back in gradeschool



  • Is it me, or did they stick a label over a Power Pak in the trailer? Lol.

    I saw that.  That was the only thing I rolled my eyes about.  I really am curious why they didn't use an original cart.



    ...Oh, I take that back! Two things made me roll my eyes-- this reproduction cart and the fact that he BLEW ON THE CARTRIDGE!



    Yeah, I know we all did that back in the day, and this is certainly a show for a bit of nostolgia, but come on.  Let's not perpetuate old bad habits.  Your spit is actively corroding those really old electrical leads.
  • Just passing by to see if Pegboy commented here
  • I'll give it a try, what's another couple hours of my life wasted?
  • This is available now! Damn it's good. Not nearly enough episodes though. Such a tease!

    Dude ! Go to bed ahole! You've got kids to tend to and twigs to tickle!

     
  • Looks pretty sweet! Now imagine if they made a good game again!
  • First episode was awesome. It really fleshed out the backstory while keeping true to the games. Looks like we are rolling right into CV3
  • Episodes 1 and 2 were entertaining. I would've liked to hear some familiar music though. So far the film score has been wanting in my opinion.
  • Just finished this up. This looks to be an awesome series and I cannot wait for season 2 with 8 episodes!
  • I thought it was pretty cool in episode 2 how Trevor was literally 'platforming' through a moat and up Wallachia's city wall.
  • It is a lot better than I thought, that is for sure.



    Lots of violence.
  • Not too keen on how gory it ended being, but it is pretty good.

    Would still prefer it was about Simon Belmont with his sexy, tight leather armour, though.  
  • This was everything I thought it would be and more. I'm very pleased. Especially with the added context the story provides, it really elaborates on Castlevania III's initial basic story. I'm excited that season two will be eight episodes long.
  • Not a fan of the art style. Show was ok.
