Filed under: Culture, Retro With a week that has not one but two major console launches looming, it's nice to get a dose of what brought us here. A glance back at the simple (yet extremely tough to beat) days of only one directional pad and two buttons. The Minibosses perform "Castlevania III" complete with retro graphics and hand-drawn animation, and of course -- music. Check out the video after the jump, and catch your breath before the weekend strikes.
