What better way to spend Halloween than playing Castlevania games. Specifically Rondo of Blood and Symphony of the Night.

Tell Your Next of Kin Before You Begin: A Look At Super Castlevania IV 30 Years Later

Tell Your Next of Kin Before You Begin: A Look At Super Castlevania IV 30 Years Later

Just recently, I covered the first Castlevania, one of the greatest games ever created which started one of the greatest franchises of all time. With the success of Castlevania, many re-releases and remakes would come out over the years but along with those, we also saw a retelling of the original story. In 1991, Castlevania would make it's debut to the Super Nintendo via Super Castlevania IV. Though a retelling of the original, the game was more than a remake or a game with updated graphics but rather it featured new levels, new bosses, some new songs, and improved controls. Since it's release, Super Castlevania IV has been a classic that has also been considered one of the all time great games. In this article, we'll look at one of the masterpieces of the Castlevania library that started as a retelling but became a classic in it's own right as the 30th Anniversary is this Halloween (appropriate right?). I should point out because this is a retelling, some of this article will have similarities to my Castlevania article but hopefully there's enough difference to justify this article since I love this game and wanted to do an article on it.

The Most Obscure and Forgotten Champions in WCW History

The Most Obscure and Forgotten Champions in WCW History

Originally, I intended to start this series after finishing my "Wrestlers you may have forgotten held a title" series but then I realized that 2021 is the 30th Anniversary of when NWA became WCW and next year has milestone anniversaries for New Japan, ROH, Impact, ECW, and All Japan so why not save those articles for next year even though I did one on New Japan already? Anyway, in my last series, I brought up wrestlers the average fans pretty much knows but may have forgotten they held a title in a promotion and so far I did one for New Japan and WCW. To continue WCW's anniversary, I will begin this series with them as I cover champions that the average fan barely remembers and would go "Who?". This article will take a look at the most forgettable and most obscure champions in WCW history. Like my previous WCW article, I'm only covering from January 1991-March 2001 so nothing from the Jim Crockett/NWA days or WWF owned WCW.
