Castlevania has been a part of several generation’s consciousness. From the good old days of the 8-bit Castlevania to its latest 3D incarnations, the battle between Dracula and the Belmont clan rages on.

Konami wants to have a film for its Castlevania franchise and is apparently in the final stages of forging a deal with Saw director James Wan.

The project has been part of film and gaming scuttlebutt for quite a while now. The story (obviously) features Dracula versus the Belmont clan. The story for the film has been passed on from one writer to another leading many to doubt the quality of the final output.

Despite getting a lot of dough from his first Saw film, critics have quite the harsh words for Wan’s artistic vision. Whether the Castlevania flick would just be a gore film, one for Dragonball Evolution and Legend of Chun-Li category, or a possible classic, will remain to be seen.

Have you ever imagined yourself playing as Nintendo‘s resident plumber Mario, but this time in out-of-his-world stages? A YouTube user codenamed JudgeSpear had, and he even turned fantasy into reality by making that game!

JudgeSpear called his freeware game Super Mario Fusion, as it gives the player an impression that the original Super Mario game “fused” with Rockman, Castlevania, even Halo! Heck, he even combined “Mushroom Kingdom” (Princess Toadstool’s kingdom) with “Kingdom Hearts” (another notorious crossover RPG) to form the portmanteau “Mushroom Kingdom Hearts” and establish his game as a Mario crossover game.
