Captain N episode 29

Title- Return to Castlevania (September 28, 1991)

Game- Castlevania 3

The final visit to Castlevania is one of this series finest episodes and is on par with the episodes from other seasons. I loved the way they used the history of Castlevania 3 in this episode. Simon’s at his best and in his own award ceremony. Plus he gets booed out. The Count’s appearance changed and apart from the disappointing bat transformation, looked as good as his previous appearance. Alucard was the main thing that most disliked about this episode, but I’m in the camp which believes that in the context of the show, he fits, whilst partly annoying he did also show himself as a traitor to his father and the N team.

Overall one of the finest of series 3 due to it’s use of the source material.
