Remember The Game? #220 - Castlevania

b'It\'s the\\xa0episode before\\xa0Halloween, so of course we have to cover one more "scary" game. And I can\'t\\xa0think of a better option than one of the OG scary games, and\\xa0honestly, just one of the best\\xa0games on the NES altogether: Castlevania.\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThis bad boy has been near the top of the "most requested" list for years now, but the issue was that I just didn\'t play a ton of it growing up. I used to rent it sometimes, but the Medusa heads and stairs gave me nightmares and I never went back. So I spent 3 days just binging the game in preparation of this podcast, and we actually recorded it minutes after I beat the game on stream (and I was still pretty riled up).\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nMy boy Mark McCue is my guest this week (he spent a large chink of this past week playing Castlevania to get ready for\\xa0this\\xa0episode as well), and we had a great time talking about stupid stairs, evil Medusa heads, a certain fight against a certain dead guy, and most importantly, about why Castlevania is an\\xa0all-time classic.\\n\\xa0\\nAnd before we fall through some stairs, I scrape together another edition of the \'Remember The Game? Infamous Intro\'!\\n\\xa0\\nThis week, we talk about the impact Goldeneye 007 will have on Nintendo\'s Switch Online subscriber count. Is the Xbox Series S becoming an issue? And can Pokemon only say their names, or are they named after the only word they can say??\\n\\xa0\\nPlus we have another round of \'Play One, Remake One, Erase One\', too! This one features 3 Konami NES classics: Base Wars, Metal Gear, and Top Gun.\\n\\xa0\\nAre you on social media? Of course you are.
