MONSTERS OF THE WEEK: Castlevania 64

#Castlevania64 #CastlevaniaReview #MonstersOfTheWeek

There’s probably not a single game on the N64 that received so much unrightful slander as Castlevania (1999). Coming out just under a year after the template-setting Symphony of the Night, the internet hivemind, greatly helped by Koji Igarashi himself, created the meme that Castlevania on the N64 sucks, is a bad game, and a bunch of diarrhea donkey farts by doo-doo-brained developers.
Which is a load of crap, and it’s time we set the record straight.
