Retronauts Episode 255: Castlevania's Oddballs (Patreon)

I, uh, just realized that this Castlevania-themed episode will go out on the public feed a few days before Halloween. That's so perfect I wish I could say I planned it, but once again, the guiding hand of Retro Fate has led our spirits to a place better than we could have imagined for ourselves. Or something. Anyway.
Like the recent live panels from a couple of weeks ago, Episode 255 was recorded back at Long Island Retro Gaming Expo. Since I had the webmaster of the Castlevania Dungeon website on hand, I figured it would be a pretty cool opportunity to talk about some odds-and-ends of the Castlevania franchise that otherwise would be difficult to drum up experienced, expert commentary on. Most (though not all!) of the games we discuss this week aren't that great, but the conversation is never anything less than highly informed and, above all, quite even-handed. That's the Retronauts difference, baby.
Description: Jeremy Parish summons the eldritch forms of Castlevania experts Kurt Kalata, Rob Russo, and Kevin Bunch to discuss the enigma that is... Castlevania games that don't fit into any other specific grouping, like Haunted Castle and Bloodlines. Spooky!
