But damned if Castlevania III hasn't pulled it off. This game is spectacular. It takes everything the original Castlevania did and pumps it full of steroids. More levels, optional routes, additional playable characters, multiple endings. I say it on this week's show and I stand by it - there are two groups of people: People that think Castlevania III is one of the best games in the NES library, and people that have never played Castlevania III. My resident Castlevania guest, Bradley McCue, gives me a call this week. We praise this game, talk about what a beast Alucard is, Bradley teaches me a little about Castlevania history, and we both admit that while we want to, neither of us can beat this damned game... And before we go vampire hunting, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks me which franchise I regret missing out on as a kid. Do I have any gaming takes that I've 180'd on over the years? And what games did I pick up on Black Friday? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 of my favourite tough NES games: Super C, Mega Man 3, and Ninja Gaiden. Learn more about your ad choices.
