Who Created the Original Castlevania? (Pop Facts) 

I just wanna say. GT's Retrospective on Castlevania is one of my favorite videos on the site. Superb.

For once, an interesting Pop Facts. Now when's the next Pop Fiction?

Thanks, GameTrailers. I always wondered why the credits on NES games were filled with pseudonyms like that. I didn't know there was much risk of game creators being poached by competitors, given Japan's "salaryman" system, corporate anthems, and so forth.

I like Castlevania 4 best....I know where some of THOSE talented folks are today...They work for TREASURE.

Well, I did get to meet the original composer of Castlevania 1, Kinuyo Yamashita. Does she count as a member of the creative team?

Ahh yeah they didn't use their real names...I remember that now. Huh. Anyone else watch AVGN's Castlevania series? ha

True, the narrator is one of my favorite parts about watching Pop Fiction videos. he just seems so in sync with what he's talking about. Not to mention that Legend of Zelda Timeline... =D

Well, how bout you guys at GT make a pop fiction episode where you guys try to track down the creator? Surely the people who made the sequel games may have some connection to it.... like the music composer... etc.

We don't even know who is invented walkman, it just say "Sony product" (that's it) Japan have history to hide their creative minds, until people like Shigeru Miyamoto, Yu Suzuki, and Hideo Kojima came along.

According to a Google search, there are 4 designers listed, and they could all be the creator of Castlevania. On another note, although Bloodstained has IGA involved, looking at the developer behind it, it could be bad. Amature Studio is responsible for: the Vita versions of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, The Unfinished Swan (PS4 version as well), and the Vita version of Injustice. They also made: Arkham Origins: Blackgate (all versions) and The Handsome Collection. Besides Bloostained, they are also working on ReCore and Dead Star.

Fred Fuchs Brilliant

You guys forgot the best one: Christopher Bee! 🐝

I loved this game. But I sucked at it. Never could get past the outside water stage. No wait, I once got farly deep into the latter part of the game. Only to die by hunchback. Or moving plateform, I don't rember which. Still awesome game.

Konami Insiders have told me that this was created by Moby Dick Studio led by Joakim Mogren.

Title says who created the og castlevania. So hyped. Game Trailers says the developers used sudonymns in the credits. Video ends. My face after watching: (T_T)

Was such an awesome game!

Hideo Yoshizawa made Castlrvania

Fred Fuchs lol

dun think the names are spoof, it is kinda obviously mistranslated following Japanese pronunciation, although it is mentioned solely during belmont's case

Why not just go to Konami and ask them? Or have you tried and they have no one there who knows?

"Pop Fact: Who Created the Original Castlevania?" in short version... Who Created the original ? We don't know. END

What happened to The Final Bosman?

i loved the Lords of shadow trilogy, especially, lords of shadow 2

Could gametrailers just look up on Wikipedia for this information it has the directors name and the developers were konami

So uh...ok, that was kind of pointless. Thanks GameTrailers :D
