Dawn of Sorrow is the best Castlevania game.

I am looking forward to play the GBA Castlevanias I missed out on when I buy a New3DS this holiday season.

Random question: did any of the GB crew hint about covering the PGW Sony press conference live? Those "We are talking over X" videos are always so enjoyable.

 

[Death Metalist]

Holy shit. I can't wait till Vinny plays SOTN, gonna be damn good.

I am looking forward to play the GBA Castlevanias I missed out on when I buy a New3DS this holiday season.

They are also on the WiiU VC store which is how I played them, damn good stuff.

 

[justjim89]

Woohoo! They read my dumb pockets email on the Beastcast!

Spoiler

I also keep my change in my wallet. I'm a monster.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I'd put Super Castlevania IV in there.

Yup. Don't know how that slipped my mind actually lol.

 

[daydream]

out of the classic lineage, i'd put iv behind 1, 3, rondo, bloodlines and adventure rebirth, maybe even dracula x

game seems to be unusually popular in this thread which i get, of course - it is pretty flashy and crazy and a lot of people remember it fondly

can't argue against whip physics, of course

 

[brainzelda]

Man VinnyVania has the potential to devolve into nonsense (if it hasn't done so already). I can't wait for the triple banger of Castlevania 64, Lament of Innocence, and Curse of Darkness!

 

[Fantastapotamus]

So what's the endgoal of VinnyVania? Is he going to play all console games until Lords of Shadow 2? (Don't know if he finished that one)

 

[Chance Hale]

I really hope they change their mind on the DS(and maybe Aria of Sorrow) given they're all great games on par with some of the best in the series. Zero reason to skip them if the idea behind the series is to go through the main entries.

 

[Backfoggen]

Yess, best feature is back.

They mentioned at one point that they didn't know, but that they were at least doing the NES and SNES ones. Probably also SOTN I would guess. I highly doubt they'll do any of the 3D ones.

Aria is easy since it's on the Wii U shop anyway. They shouldn't skip it

 

[Largo]

Welp, figured I'd check out the hype and marathoned Life Is Strange finally.

I uh, think I need an adult.

But Zobek has been waiting by his phone all this time.

I hope they get to Bloodlines, the actual best CastleVania.

well, only wanting to do the classic games would be a valid reason, though i too would like to see them go the distance, obviously

if they don't wanna get into igavania, they should play bloodlines, rondo, adventure rebirth and delve into some n64 and maybe gameboy as bonus episodes, that's how 'project classic castlevania' would ideally go, imo

 

[Myggen]

Let him wait.

I think 4 is really good design wise, the whip is fun, it has some nice sprite work and good use of Mode 7.

 

[QFNS]

I hope Vinny plays Dracula X in whatever form. The OG was godlike for the time, and the PSP remake was pretty great as well. And if he plays the Dracula X Chronicles version, you actually unlock a version of SotN as well. GOTTA FOLLOW THE STORY! See Richter before he becomes evil! Etc.

you ain't done yet motherfucker

sure, it does well with the things it wants to show off but like with my nes -> snes transitions a lot of the finesse in design pertaining to the platforming and combat was let go of in favour of more bulky, sprawling sprite work. it's definitely a fun ride, though!

 

[Largo]

you ain't done yet motherfucker

Guess not, but holy shit does that game go some dark places.

 

[killroy87]

no UPF today?

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Super Castlevania IV O_O

Can't wait to watch the archive!

 

[Myggen]

no UPF today?

Maybe, maybe not. They don't always put it on the schedule the day before.

 

[DamnBoxes]

no UPF today?

 

[hamchan]

no UPF today?

Normally if they can't do UPF they would do a stream earlier in the week or at least let the audience know, so I expect we are getting it today.

 

[tuxfool]

Guess not, but holy shit does that game go some dark places.

Good, no?

I bet you couldn't have predicted this.

Why, are you stuck in the Retro Zone?

 

[Lelcar]

I'm good to flow, thanks.

EP1 really had the most memorable quotes.

time to watch the Fear Gauntlet again

Oh man, Matt Kessler is an underrated comedic genius. He comes up with the funniest shit on the fly.

Bananas are like eating a ghost.

[Sleeping Lesson]

I can't wait to watch this Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes QL.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Surprise! Quicklook: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

 

[Salty Catfish]

A few minutes of the Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes! QL makes me really wanna play this with more people. It's a lot of fun even with just my girlfriend and I, but the pure chaos of seeing new players trying to figure out what the fuck is going on is pretty amazing.

 

[def sim]

That should be a fantastic QL!

 

[KingKong]

it looks fun but it seems like once you know the types of elements its a lot easier, ie you could tell people how many batteries there are right away or start reading the morse code as soon as you see it

 

[Dari Elxix]

Surprise! Quicklook: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

Game looks like a lot of fun, but I feel it's one of those things that loses its value once you've played a good number of the different bomb types over & over again.

i played it at a pathfinder session with friends and it was def a lot of fun shuffling people into and out of the game as more people showed up to keep things chaotic

i think theyre going to be regularly updating the game with different manuals to combat this

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Here we go.

 

[kAmui-]

This seems like a great game to play when you have friends over for a few drinks.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Have you ever noticed how much GB seems to promote Konami games?
Drew plays all of Metal Gear, Vinny plays all of Castlevania and....is that a Pachinko machine in the latest mailbag?
Just asking questions here people #followthekonami

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Chat is up

Spoiler

click layout then hit "chat only," we're gonna have this up for VinnyVania

(also actual chat is here)

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Does anyone have a link to that acapella VinnyVania music they used previously? I waited all day to hear it and now they're using something different. I need to hear it.

 

[hamchan]

That bomb game is pretty cool. Tense stuff with the symbols.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Surprise! Quicklook: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

Oh man what an amazing start. That colorbindness!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'd like to see them attempt to play with an Oculus DK2 at least once.

 

[LiK]

Watching latest Demo Derby. This brings me back. I still own this issue lol

 

[Lelcar]

Surprise! Quicklook: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

This is one hell of a Quick Look. Very entertaining.

And now VinnyVania is going live. Finished that QL just in time.
