Podcasts about Castlevania

This time we talk about some table top rpgs, game announcments, and other random stuff before we get to Mina the Hollower. This game was just recently released by the creators of Shovel Knight and has been taking the gaming community by storm. We highly recommend this Zelda-souls-Castlevania like game. It brings back the nostalgia and love from gameboy games but also the toughness of any souls like game. Its hard, fun, and you never want to put it down.

Showcase season is done — and this week it delivered. Greg, Ty, and Uly break down everything that mattered across Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase 2026.On the list: Persona 6 officially revealed (and it's going darker — finally), Castlevania: Belmont's Curse confirmed as a direct follow-up to the Netflix anime with Rose Belmont as the lead, Resident Evil Veronica and why dropping "Code" from the title is actually a smart move, the surprisingly very real Wolf Among Us 2, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, Monster Hunter Ascendance, Palworld 1.0, Star Trek Shadow Frontier (yes, a horror Trek game), and Metro 2039.On the Xbox side: Persona 6 drops at the showcase, Fable gets a Twilight Princess-level dark glow-up, Gears of War E-Day stays exclusive (and the guys are fine with it), Halo gets a muted reaction, and collector's edition pricing gets a full roast.The State of Play breakdown is exclusive on GZ Chop Shop UNCUT — Patreon only.Also: Greg fumbled the intro badly. Bloopers are on Patreon. Ty called it at the five-minute mark.Topics covered this episode:Summer Game Fest 2026 full rundownResident Evil Veronica — the lore deep dive you didn't know you neededWolf Among Us 2 confirmedFinal Fantasy 7 Revelation, Palworld 1.0, Monster Hunter AscendanceStar Trek Shadow Frontier + Bloober trustPersona 6 official reveal — darker tone, adult cast speculationCastlevania: Belmont's Curse lore breakdown (Trevor & Sypha's daughter confirmed)Fable goes dark — Playground doing a Twilight PrincessGears of War E-Day Xbox exclusive reactionHalo Campaign Evolved — a muted responseCollector's edition pricing roastWhich showcase won the week?GZ Chop Shop UNCUT (Patreon): https://Patreon.com/gzchopshopGZ Merch — code TEAMGZ for 20% off: https://GZChopShop.com

The unofficial theme of this free play episode was "Demented Love Story," but there's nothing demented about loving these tracks.  "Original Sin (Dracula's Castle 1)" from Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge is a classic Castlevania banger.  "Casino" from Return of Double Dragon has some really catchy bass guitar.  "Brinstar (Heavy Foliage Area)" from Super Metroid is a haunting and

Wow that is a lot of game news, and we're absolutely not covering all of it, but we talk about what interests us, and also Grand Theft Auto 6, which does not interest either of us.Castlevania 2 is a game preceded by its reputation, which honestly is sort of unfortunate because it really isn't as bad as that reputation makes it out to be. While far from perfect, it's ambitious and interesting, and also the victim of an infamously poor localization, documented in painstaking detail here: https://bisqwit.iki.fi/cv2fin/diffSend us mail! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠theretrobreakdown@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TW's Discord: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/dTrBruG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast games streamed live at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠twitch.tv/timewanderer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TW on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/timewanderer

Pensé comme un épisode annexe au sein de la licence Castlevania, Symphony of the Night n'hésite pas à bousculer ses codes et troquer son fouet protéiné contre une épée athlétique (et des boucliers... Et des armures... Et des shurikens. Et des dindes...).Mais cet opus prolonge aussi une évolution moins linéaire de la licence, et formera, avec Super Metroid, l'ADN du Metroidvania. Un genre dont le plus grand défaut à la fin des année 90 est de manquer de relief.

On this episode of Random Encounter, we're digging for some sweet, sweet caffeine!First up, Bob is here to chat about Yacht Club Games' newest title, Mina the Hollower. Yacht Club struck gold a decade ago with their retro side-scroller Shovel Knight and its various campaigns, but since then, they've apparently been on the bubble financially. Well, that doesn't seem to be a problem anymore because Mina the Hollower appears to be a hit! This top-down, Link's Awakening-esque and Castlevania-esque soulslike currently has everyone talking, and Bob and Jono certainly can't stop chatting about it! Spoiler alert: it's absolutely fantastic!Next, Audra and Mike are here for a steaming cup of Coffee Talk Tokyo. As the third entry in this lo-fi, relaxing visual novel series, the game moves its setting from rainy Seattle to neon Tokyo. Does the charm of Coffee Talk successfully make the jump across the Pacific?Oh, and we also chat about our hopes for next week's Not-E3 (and be sure to stay tuned for our 2026 Not-E3 Extravaganza episode)! Featuring: Jono Logan, Audra Bowling, Mike Salbato, and Jerry Williams; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Mina the HollowerCoffee Talk TokyoCoffee Talk ReviewCoffee Talk 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly ReviewDragon Quest XII: Beyond Dreams

The developers of Shovel Knight are, at long last, back with a new game—and despite the long wait, it's absolutely fantastic. Mina the Hollower is a love letter to topdown games like Zelda, mixed in with elements of Castlevania, Dark Souls, and many others. It's also had a long journey towards release, which was a topic of conversation during a recent chat Patrick had with Yacht Club Games' founder and director Sean Velasco and programmer David D'Angelo.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's finally here: after six years of development, Yacht Club's Mina the Hollower has arrived. And it's a winner. Kirk, Maddy, and Jason burrow into the crevasses of this new Game of the Year contender, which smashes Zelda, Castlevania and Bloodborne to great success.

This week on Moving Panels: One Shot, Laramy Wells and James Brooks dive into the darker side of animated comic adaptations in “Adult Themes in Animated Comic Adaptations”.From the brutal violence of Invincible to the gothic horror of Castlevania and the emotional chaos of Harley Quinn, the conversation explores how animation evolved beyond the “kids cartoon” label to tackle trauma, horror, morality, and psychological depth.Along the way, James brings his horror movie perspective to the discussion as the guys examine why animated storytelling can sometimes hit harder than live-action.If you've ever watched a “cartoon” and immediately realized it absolutely was not made for children… this episode is for you.

Geoff and Chris talk Mixtape, Saros, Control, Castlevania, and CrossCode. We talk about AI this week and whether or not it's ever ok, and New Releases makes it's return.

This past week Devon gazed through the smoke and interacted with two $10 games that were Castlevania Adjacent “Saint Slayer: Spear of Sacrilege” and “Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors” and he is ready to discuss. Then we go on a journey discussing what it means to be an adult by reminiscing about our fast food follies from our youth and then discussing retail practices that somehow make Walmart and Target the lesser of two evils when compared against large corporations and their quest for infinite profit growth.Finally we share our theme and schedule for Brendan Fraser History Month 2026 so the listen can properly prepare for May's content.

In this episode of The Sesh, we're posted up with Sour OG, and we go full rabbit hole, in the best way.We start with Castlevania, metroidvania obsession, Switch OLED upgrades, and why older games still hit harder than half the “new” stuff coming out. Then it turns into a real talk about why people feel more isolated than ever, why connecting feels harder than it should, and why getting comfortable being uncomfortable is basically a cheat code for life.We also get into Days Gone, Zelda, Ghost Recon no-HUD chaos, Ready or Not, British shows, revenge movies that actually slap, and why laughter might be the most underrated mental reset we have.Question for the comments, what's your favorite random non-US movie or TV show?Keep the Mic on.Fuel the movement.

Dracula has been rewritten as a brooding romantic lead so many times that it's easy to forget he's a rapist. Matthew sits down with AK and Marlena Chesner to ask the hard question: does giving a monster a tragic backstory change what he is, or does it just make us more comfortable rooting for him?Working through three versions of the Dracula story — Bram Stoker's novel, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the recent 2025 film — the group traces how each adaptation handles consent, female agency, and the ethics of sympathy. AK brings a sharp rhetorical lens to scenes the other guests found straightforwardly troubling, reading the 2025 film as an accidental and unnervingly accurate portrait of how abuse perpetuates itself, in particular in light of the consent allegations brought against Luc Besson, writer and director of the 2025 adaptation. Marlena's re-read of the novel keeps the conversation grounded in what Stoker actually wrote — including a Mina who is far more capable and agentive than most adaptations let her be.The conversation also takes in Castlevania and the Netflix Dracula mini-series as counterexamples, the "banality of evil" as a framework for understanding a villain who is fully convinced his violence is an act of love, and why the hallway fight scene in the 2025 film is the clearest sign that its makers see Dracula as a hero.About AK and MarlenaBig time nerd, big time philosopher, big time lover of all things sci-fi and fantasy, AK_Ahab is a recent grad with a philosophy degree and a focus on disability and rhetoric.

Sony ran an all-timer of a State of Play last week, so we spend a bunch of time digging into a bunch of news and demos about God of War Trilogy Remake, Control Resonant, and Konami's impressive bundle of Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Metal Gear games. Also, games like God of War: Sons of Sparta, Menace, Heart of the Forest, and Avowed on PS5. Also, Vinny's questionable encounter at the Outback Steakhouse.

Squeaks, Frank, Jon and Thomas cover a packed episode that jumps from dream low-stakes spin-off ideas (God of War politics, Fallout slice-of-life, and cozy Shire chaos) into real-world hype around the Spider-Noir trailer and how Nicolas Cage changes the whole vibe in the best way. From there, the crew breaks down standout PlayStation State of Play reveals, including what they want from a God of War trilogy remake, why Game Freak's new project has people paying attention again, and which upcoming titles actually look worth the time. Then the conversation shifts into a big streaming debate: weekly releases vs binge drops vs the hybrid "first 2–3 episodes, then weekly" model. They dig into what works for mystery box shows like WandaVision and Severance, what falls apart when the writing doesn't match the release strategy, and why some series thrive when fans have time to theory-craft between episodes. The episode wraps with network updates and weekly recommendations, including a Cyclops comic shoutout and a heartfelt nod to Stevie's retirement from Good Mythical Morning after 13 years. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and crew check-in (Squeaks, Frank, John, plus a Thomas cameo) 00:00:35 Icebreaker: what massive franchise needs a low-stakes spin-off? 00:00:58 God of War spin-off pitch: Olympus politics, Spartan POV, and "collateral damage" storytelling 00:02:11 Frank's pitch: a Stardew Valley-style Fallout town rebuilding above ground 00:02:43 Jon's pitch: a cozy "life in the Shire" Lord of the Rings series 00:03:48 Thomas's pitch: smaller-scale Jurassic Park stories from a visitor or staff POV 00:05:06 Listener ideas from social: Zootopia case-of-the-week, Han Solo pulp vibes, law-and-order sketch artists 00:05:48 Spider-Noir trailer reactions: tone, action, investigation, and why Cage works 00:07:26 Prime Video adaptation trust: Fallout, The Boys, Invincible, and what Spider-Noir might get right 00:08:17 Rings of Power tangent: why "faithful" is complicated when rights are limited 00:09:02 Is Spider-Noir the Spider-Verse version or a variant? The crew debates 00:10:16 What fans actually want: more detective noir or more superhero chaos? 00:12:20 PlayStation State of Play recap begins: overall reactions and standout reveals 00:13:24 God of War trilogy remake talk and why "remake" matters more than "remaster" 00:13:56 Game Freak frustration, Pokémon burnout, and why a new IP could reset expectations 00:14:47 Classic vibes: the pull of 2D action and Castlevania-style nostalgia 00:15:52 Kena: Bridge of Spirits sequel excitement and "30-minute gaming" for busy adults 00:17:02 Star Wars Galactic Racers and the return of pod-racing energy 00:17:24 Project Wilderness: rooster warriors, Korean fantasy roots, and "The Bird That Drinks Tears" curiosity 00:21:13 Ride-or-die studios: Rockstar, Blizzard talk, and Saber's trust factor 00:21:31 John Wick game discussion: expectations, violence, and the question of gameplay style 00:23:40 Severance and Apple ownership: what expansion could look like without killing the mystery 00:26:59 The goats, the branches, and why answers can end the show 00:28:04 Spin-off pitch: military uses of severance tech and the darker implications 00:29:51 Helldivers movie with Jason Momoa: comedy vs serious tone, and how to make it work 00:33:02 Main topic: weekly episodes vs binging vs hybrid release models 00:36:22 Why weekly wins for theorizing, community talk, and "watercooler" moments 00:39:36 The hybrid model: dropping 2–3 episodes first, then weekly 00:41:09 Binge model strengths: completion, momentum, and not forgetting the show exists 00:48:05 Which genres fit which release style? Mystery box, character drama, sitcoms, and action 00:57:19 Network updates: upcoming shows, format shifts, and what's next across the Geek Freaks Network 00:58:19 Recommendations: Cyclops comic spotlight and Stevie's Good Mythical Morning retirement tribute Key Takeaways Big franchises can feel fresh again with smaller stories that focus on everyday life, side characters, and worldbuilding instead of saving the universe. Spider-Noir looks like it's leaning into style and personality, and Nicolas Cage makes it feel like its own thing instead of "another Spider-Man." Prime Video's track record with adaptations is earning trust, even when the company itself is a mixed bag for fans. State of Play talk lands on a simple truth: remakes need to feel rebuilt, not just polished. Game Freak has goodwill to win back, and a new IP might be their best shot to prove they can still deliver quality. Release models matter because writing matters. A weekly show needs episodes that stand on their own, not just pieces of a long movie. Weekly releases fuel theorizing, discussion, and community engagement. Binge releases maximize momentum and completion. The "2–3 episode premiere, then weekly" approach can be the sweet spot when it's planned from the start. Memorable Quotes "I want a Stardew Valley set in the Fallout universe." "Nicolas Cage is not a Spider-Man… Spider-Man is being made into a Nicolas Cage character." "It's not a remaster. It's a remake." "Once we find out what's up with the goats, the show's over." "That's a watercooler moment because everybody was like, wait, what happened?"

Sony has accomplished a truly rare feat in this contentious era by providing players with a widely-lauded hour-plus State of Play presentation. At the top of the heap of announcements for many are a duo of God of War-related unveilings -- the long-rumored 2.5D Metroidvania game and an early-in-development ground-up remake of the original PS2 and PS3 trilogy -- with the former project stealth released at the time of its reveal. That's right: You can buy it right now! 29 other games were showcased, revealed, and otherwise shown off during the proceedings as well, like a new Castlevania called Belmont's Curse, a sequel to Kena: Bridge of Spirits called Scars of Kosmora, a AAA John Wick project, stealth title Yakoh: Shinobi Ops, the second volume of Konami's Metal Gear Collection, and much, much more. Plus, fresh looks at Saros, Resident Evil: Requiem, Marathon, Mina the Hollower, Beast of Reincarnation, Marvel Tokon, Control Resonant, Pragmata, 4LOOP, and so on. Other news rounds things out this week -- like steep layoffs at Highguard studio Wildlight and casting details for 2027' Helldivers film -- before we move onto listener inquiries.
