Kai raises the stakes as our grim-grinning guest comes out to analyze Castlevania (NES, 1987) and Castlevania: Legends (Game Boy, 1997) as part of Mike and Jaymo’s epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
In this episode we whip our way through all the questions other podcasts are afraid to ask: Just how animated can Simon Belmont get? What was the secret ending that got Sonia Belmont fired from the Castlevania canon? And of course, what IS a man?
Plus, Mike and Kai Hammer away at the cryptic credits of Castlevania in the Monster Match for another graveyard smash, with a full exhumation over on our web site of Castlevania's Crazy Cinema Credits (https://www.theoldswitcharoo.com/blog/castlevanias-crazy-cinema-credits/).
