Mini-Doc and full playthrough with commentary of Super Castlevania IV for the SNES. The swansong of series favorite Simon Belmont in his final outing in the starring role. Full 4K/60fps presentation.

‘Been looking forward to doing this follow-up to the classic NES trilogy. Fun, nostalgic way to close out ’22 and enter into the 15th year of the channel. 🥃
