[Thundrfang]

[samuelrosenbalm]

@Thundrfang Close, it was released on Sega's next console - the Sega Saturn.

[Akiachrounoumena]

[marcdaniel0321]

Lol one of the gods of the SNES XD

[SuitUpDubstep]

Great review. This helped me decide to pick this up for my sega!

[carbaj]

Well made review, I like Eric more as well as a playable character

[nebno6]

8:39 YOU CHEATER

great review tho

[papasnejk87]

a great review of a great game! too bad i have to buy an Mega Key cart to run it on a european mega drvie due to a region lock :( but BTW what are the diffrences beatween the NTSC and PAL versions? (details plz)

[KayloMaster]

uno wat pisses me off? even though there's a password system you keep the same continues and lives.

Basically, if you end up with 0 continues and 0 lives, and you die once, you're stuck on that number of lives. it sucks.

otherwise, game is good. 6.5/10

[ST0PM0SS]

Bram Stocker's Dracula, has Fred Fuchs in it. LOL FRED FUCHS

[dannymarkable]

@ST0PM0SS omg love that episode

[nynosix]

u must really not like john since your video only has eric gameplay.

[thedefyer]

i live in the uk and never heard of "the new generation"

[adamwestep]

My first castlevania!!! Awsome game.

[TompanX]

aint this for PSP

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

@TompanX nope thats rondo of blood

[shrodu]

The Lecardes and the Morrises are both descendants of the Belmonts. The name "Belmont" faded away (Possibly due to a girl belmont). The Morris clan got the whip, whereas Alucard gave the Lecardes the Spear.

In PoR it's discovered that the Vampire Killer killed John Morris because he wasn't a full blooded Belmont. Johnathan realizes later that he may not be a full blooded Belmont, but he is still a Belmont none-the-less.

[kaz287]

I always thought Eric was a girl.

[Nosveractu]

Is this European censorship the reason why my copy of this game is called Castlevania The new generation and not Bloodlines?

[kaz287]

Yup

[Mysterious0Bob]

@Nosveractu

You can blame the Germans for that.

[ImperviousMason]

lol

[Scissorhead6]

anyone who is good at this game knows eric is the one to play as. I'm not very good, but my mom loved this game and always picked eric and after watches youtube videos, it seems eric is a common favorite.

[Nosveractu]

Eric is the easier to play the game with of the 2 because of his charged jumps. What I dont understand is how do these 2 characters fit into the Belmont family? I know Eric is avenging his girlfriend at the hands of Elizabeth Bartley but there another thing were is she in this game I think she has more relevance than Medusa. It never explains John Morris heritage or purpose for his hunt for Dracula.

[NorseWiz]

WW1 ended in 1917 now? Anyway, loved the review.

[IDiedForYou1776]

dude awesome review! I love Castlevania Bloodlines...it is my favorite Sega Genesis game of all time

[RadarKat73080]

John is the son of Quincy Morris, one of Lucy's suitors in the book.

[pjdr]

ha that's just what i was about to say lol

[RadarKat73080]

Funny, with the except of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Quincy is always missing from all movie adaptations of the book. After seeing BS Dracula, I think I know why, it pains me to say this of a fellow Texan, he's annoying!

[drum109]

hey turok was a great game

[pawel1818]

Too bad dont have 2 players mode, One Player controrls John Secound, Eric

[satyriconx127]

EVEN THE PAUSE BUTTON REFLECTS!!!!11

[crakmoney18]

its funny during cinema mode erics hair is blond...and during game blak....but yah love this game castlevania got da best games but this dracula shit is gettin old lmao

[GammaDX27]

What makes that even more fucked is the fact that depending on what dude you are certain objects (mainly doors) are colored differently. :P

[11CUB11]

@crakmoney18 think it's a hood over Erics hair. I paused it once when he was landing from his special jump move and his blond hair was out....???

[shinosbiggestfan]

lol battle ship

[SuperiorSavior]

That accent kinda imploded glad you killed it. LOL a haloween special. Konami is a god as are your subtitles! Two heroes eh? You set learning what the plotline is as hwk, ohnoes. That whip has an immaginative name! We go censored blood, waa.Bloody trippy levels!

[Tw1stedMoogle]

5/5 Great review man.

Keep'em comin'

I Am addicted to the Castlevania games and especially the DS ones.

Maybe you can check those out sometime.

[GammaDX27]

lol, Portrait of Ruin is actually sort of a equal to this one. (random trivia for ya) :P

[Tw1stedMoogle]

Someone needs to do a "Chronologically Confused" segment for Castlevania.

I Think that someone should be you! :)

I Haven't seen it done yet, but if it has been then i would like to.

[benzaie]

I see a lot of effort put into that dude, keep it up
