I don't know, I didn't mind. I guess part of it was that at that point I actually hadn't played Castlevania yet. Out of all the NES games I rented from my local All The Best Video, somehow I never did get Castlevania, and I'm not sure why, as while the difficulty would have made me scream, I would have absolutely adored the concept, with all the monsters and shit. The first CV game I ever played, I do believe, was Super Castlevania IV, and it's still my favorite. <br /><br />But yeah, I agree that Simon deserves to be portrayed as a badass, but given the somewhat silly nature of the show, I guess somehow it fits. And yes, I'd far rather play a new game starring "Launchpad McQuack" Simon, than ANYTHING Mercury Steam has shit out. Thanks Konami. lol (Though to be fair I hated the PS2 CV games too).Retro Revelationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10035054609739978634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4778893551955833444.post-83271921066842966922013-03-15T23:25:16.668-07:002013-03-15T23:25:16.668-07:00I used to watch the show, but it was surprisingly ...I used to watch the show, but it was surprisingly not one one of my favorites, despite my love for Nintendo. Personally, I couldn't really get over how different the characters were from the games. I especially had a huge problem with Simon Belmont. Castlevania being one of my all time favorite franchises, and Simon being my favorite character of that franchise, I couldn't stand how they portrayed him in the show (though I guess it's still preferable to what Mercury Steam has done to the franchise). And his design always made me think more airplane pilot than bad ass vampire slayer (he actually always made me think of a human Launchpad Mcquack). I didn't really care for MegaMans overall design, but it didn't bother me nearly as bad as Simon. I guess I can kind of understand the confusion based on American artwork for the game (other than the green color I suppose). I always thought Pit's head was really strange, but other than that a decent design. Mother Brain was okay, but pretty weird, but they did a really good job on Eggplant Wizard, and King Hippo (despite his odd blue skin). Still, while not one of my favorites, and despite the problems I had with it, I did enjoy watching it. It had a completely awesome concept, I just always felt it could have been done much better.koopzillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995772633304568494noreply@blogger.com
