Replay – Super Castlevania IV (Guest: Kumail Nanjiani)
This week we're taking a look at the Super Nintendo's first stab at Castlevania – a game that took perhaps too much advantage of the new hardware's Mode 7 scaling graphics.
Andrew Reiner, Tim Turi, and myself are joined by special guest, comedian Kumail Nanjiani. He's a huge video game fan, and a Super Castlevania IV expert who understands the importance of putting morals before your mission to destroy Dracula.
Alongside stand-up (you can find his latest special Beta Male here), you might recognize Kumail from the HBO comedy Silicon Valley or IFC's Portlandia. Kumail also played Reggie in Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season Two and has a new show coming to Comedy Central starting July 23, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail. You can also find Kumail on his newest podcast, The X-Files Files where he and assorted guests are revisiting every episode of The X-Files, and the video game podcast The Indoor Kids, which he co-hosts with his wife Emily Gordon.
Most importantly, though, you can find him in the video below talking to us about being part of the Microsoft press conference at E3 2014, why it's difficult to record dialogue for a Telltale game, reminding us how great Quackshot is, and introducing us to a fantastic Genesis game for our Roulette segment.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
