[edit] Pilot episode
In a posting on the Rllmuk forums (dated 15 January 2004) the planned contents of the pilot episode of Consolevania were listed [1] by Robert Florence under the alias BigLime. Some of the planned content was either cut altogether or moved into later episodes.
The reviews for Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Siren and Bujingai made it in, whereas Headhunter: Redemption did not and the Biohazard: Outbreak review was bumped to the second episode.
Features on the GP32 and the Salamander series were cut entirely, as were a variety of promising comedy sections that are listed as follows:
- Girl Gamers - what they really like, and what they're really like
- REGULAR: Kids Are Shit At Games (Where we play the youngsters at games and hammer them, ending the myth that the younger you are the more skilled you are at the games.)
- REGULAR-A BIG HAND: Konami (A sregular feature where we applaud the history of great publishers, developers, and game characters.)
- GAMING TV - 13 wrongs don't make a right
- Metal Gear My Mate's House (The first in a potentially illegal series of re-enactments of in-game elements- First, Metal Gear, and a break-in to a fella's house in the style of Solid Snake.)
- DEAD AUNTIE'S BEST: Virtual Hydlide vs. Virtuoso (A face-off between games so bad your dead Auntie must have bought them.)
- LEVEL SELECT: The Akina Downhill (A regular feature that focuses on one level of a game, one track of a racing game)
- COUNT PADULA's CRYPT: Our only concession towards the consolevania moniker... Christ...An interview with a 'celebrity' about 'games' and necrophilia.
Out of these, COUNT PADULA's CRYPT would appear to have evolved into John Gacy's 'Kiddies' Corner', whereas Metal Gear My Mate's House was modified into an end-of-show sketch on an episode of videoGaiden.
