Belmont’s Curse is out on the 15th, so I made a video about the whole Belmont story before it, from Leon to Rose. Lament of Innocence, Legends, Castlevania III and Curse of Darkness, all in chronological order. ~~ youtu.be/_7wYg_IVM5w ~~ #Castlevania #BelmontsCurse

Dynasty Warriors was a 1v1 fighting game in 1997. Almost nobody bought it. The Musou gauge was its super move. New video on how that became 1 vs 1000, and what's important about Dynasty Warriors 3. Watch it here: youtu.be/hZc4PQ-4rD4

Control Resonant gives the entire game to Dylan Faden on the 24th. He spent the first game locked up, possessed, or unconscious. Most people who finished Control can't tell you a thing about him. I couldn't either. Now he's my favorite character in the game. youtu.be/OeQyKsXcHow

Onimusha: WotS video's up. Thirty hours, no items, HUD off halfway through and I never turned it back on. Best swordplay I've touched since Sekiro, but it's the folklore stuff that got me. youtu.be/58Jx4YhwH-Y

Waited over a year for Tokon and it actually delivered, then kept surprising me. two days deep and it's way more its own thing than the Marvel vs Capcom comparison suggests youtu.be/z5e1dRSSr5o #MARVELTōkon #MarvelTōkonFightingSouls

Bought Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game for my friends, wasn't hyped, hadn't watched the show in 10+ years. Then PS5 lobbies broke, I got stuck playing randoms on bad ping from Tokyo, picked Zuko, and just... never stopped ~~~ youtu.be/YHr-XPUK0qw ~~~

Three things I love more than I can explain: Onimusha, Musashi Miyamoto, and Toshiro Mifune. Capcom put all three in one game. So I came back from a 2 month break to talk about it. youtu.be/-T0FKZF9X9Q

Legend of Mana has always been one of my favorites. Not as a side-scrolling action/JRPG, but as this strange, bittersweet journey I still think about years later. It was time, I needed to visit it, again. ~~ ~~ youtu.be/SUt1tnPg22g ~~ ~~ #legendofmana #JRPG #PlayStation

Vampire Hunter D isn’t a survivor, but a consequence. And yet, the PlayStation 1 game asks you to play carefully, conserve resources, and endure enclosed spaces like a survival horror title. ~~ Watch it here: youtu.be/4Cp9bP9V3oY ~~ #PS1 #retrogames #Vampirehunterd #horror

Metroid’s silence used to feel dangerous. In Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, it feels… empty. Not because the game is broken — but because the formula might finally be showing its limits. I made a deep-dive video essay breaking down why. youtu.be/5NTAs-JULZs #MetroidPrime4 #Metroid
