Castlevania is getting a new show on Netflix
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 18 Comments
Update: Here’s the official blurb:
“Inspired by the classic video game series, “Castlevania” is a dark medieval fantasy following the last surviving member of the disgraced Belmont clan, trying to save Eastern Europe from extinction at the hand of Vlad Dracula Tepe himself. The animated series is from Frederator Studios, a Wow! Unlimited Media company, written by best-selling author and comic book icon Warren Ellis and executive produced by Warren Ellis, Kevin Kolde, Fred Seibert, and Adi Shankar.”
Original: Believe it or not, a new show based on Castlevania is coming to Netflix. Not much is known at present, as it was buried in a press release about Netflix’s upcoming programming slate.
The one thing we can say is that the show will premiere sometime in 2017. Other than that, there’s literally nothing to go on. Hopefully we’ll have some more information and a look at it soon.

Rumor: Netflix working on live-action The Legend of Zelda TV series
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 27 Comments
If a new report from the Wall Street Journal is to be believed, Netflix is cooking up a new live-action television show based on The Legend of Zelda.
The site says that things are “in the early stages” at present. A source close to the Wall Street Journal claims that the series is “about an ordinary boy named Link who must rescue a princess named Zelda and save a fantasy world called Hyrule” – essentially Zelda as we know it. It’s being described as a family-friendly Game of Thrones, with Nintendo having a heavy involvement.
At present, Netflix is seeking a writer for the project. Since it’s such a long ways off, the Wall Street Journal points out that Netflix or Nintendo could kill the series off before things progress too far.
Keep in mind that this report has not been officially confirmed. Netflix declined to comment, and Nintendo has not yet responded.

Wii U’s Netflix app receives a small update
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
A small update is out now on Wii U’s Netflix application.
Users will now see a big ‘+’ button, which allows for a show, series, or film to be added to their “My List” section. The button will change to a minus so that the item can be removed later. Additionally, it is now possible to jump to a list of all available programs even if you’ve watched it before.
Nothing too exciting, but it should improve Netflix’s overall experience on Wii U.
