Miguel of River Rats ( riverratsrock.bandcamp.com ) joins for a wide-ranging conversation about why Castlevania is the best video game series. We discuss the killer aesthetics and gameplay of many different entries in this long-running series while also touching on topics like failing to collect old cartridges, the unfairly-ignored portable CV games, finding musical inspiration in Symphony of the Night, the distracting shininess of modern games and much more.
