On August 27, The Behemoth's side-scrolling beat-'em-up role-playing game Castle Crashers will finally be available for a cool 1200 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Arcade.
Although the reality is that Castle Crashers has been in the making for "a normal amount of development time," it sure has seemed like forever, hasn't it? But why make the next week of waiting any harder than it has to be?
After much begging and pleading, we're being allowed to share with you the first 15 minutes of Castle Crashers. While the game supports four players (both locally and online), I was only able to round up two people -- my good friend (and Baltimore-area record biter) Don and my wife, Debbey -- to sit down and play with me.
Note: Castle Crashers is rated T (for "teen"), but the commentary is probably a bit closer to mature. With that in mind, the audio of this video may be not safe for work. That's NSFW for those of you who only look for Internet lingo when browsing blog posts.
Part one of the video can be found above, with the second half after the jump. Be sure to check back this Thursday, when we present our follow-up, "The 18 minutes right after the first 15 minutes of Castle Crashers." Enjoy!

I didn't want to watch but my finger clicked and my eyes can't look away!
This post is relevant to my interests.
I came
how is it 15 minutes and the video is only 7 minutes long?
Oh I'm retarded and didn't read the whole post...noob.
Holy hell.
That game looks awesome. Also Erotic asphyxiation
It's auto-erotic when you do it in a car.
I hate you guys. Why do you get to play it before us?
I had to skip through bits, I can't ruin it entirely for myself. Looks awesome, though we all already knew that.
I'm getting a 360 for this game.
I've been playing Guardian Heroes lately, wishing for a 4 player story mode like this.
"Take that, sexy enemies!"
Looks fun, if not very hectic.
wow. this game buffers a lot!
@justice
I also skipped stuff.
The talking over the game was unbearable. Please don't do that next time or at the very least scale it down a notch.
Looks like a fun game. I like the art. I don't have a 360, so I won't actually be playing it, but I'm glad to see folks making games that go back to oldschool buttonmashing punchemups for fun. Oh, and I had to mute the video because the people talking was preeetty annoying.
...why was Nick's character farting? Like...I didn't get it. Then Debbie and Don's were farting for a bit and then they stopped.
Can't wait though...i'm literally holding whatever MS points i've had for the past month just to get this game.
I'm going to let lucky tonight. OH LOL.
I really NEED THIS GAME.
Why are people complaining over the talking, just mute them. I enjoyed it, twas funny commentary.
think I peed a little...
Looks awesome, can't wait
This is one of the few games that make me wish I owned a 360.
Holy shiznats that was awesome...
balloon-knot
I played this at PAX last year, this is going to be a blast!
The talking made it for me. Auto-erotic ftw
YES. I'm long over due for a good beat 'em up.
Yeah, there are Asian mummies, you filthy, filthy racists.
GIVE IT TO ME NOW!
I don't want to watch, mainly because I don't want anything ruined...but dear god, it's tough keeping myself from clicking. Next Wednesday...can't I just freeze myself and have someone re-animate me on the 27th?
Wait...that probably wouldn't go over too well...
And seriously...normal amount of development time? Wasn't this announced for the GameCube when it was still-somewhat alive? I can't remember the exact date it was originally announced, but I'm pretty damn sure it started as a GC-exclusive.
Saweet.
I love Alien Hominid's boss battles
and it seems Castle Crashers has just as many awesome boss battles
YEY
And hilarious commentary was hilarious
The talking just increased the awesome, well done.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf
IT LOOK SO GOOD
don't want
YESSSSSSSS GIVE IT TO ME
this game gives me a reason to turn my 360 back on, now i cant remember, can silver members still buy/download full games or only demos?or will i need a gold membership to download it?
The vid isn't loading over here :( Anybody else experiencing this?
@ lukky
yup
cant watch it either. tried giving it like 5 minutes to load then clicking play-- but no dice
Same as the gentlemen above me. First video simply hangs at the default "loading" screen.
HUZZAH!
KamikazeTutor: God, I fucking loved Guardian Heroes.
You better upgrade that rabbit, dammit!
Mmm baby. That's good castle crashing.
@ KamikazeTutor:
You HAVE a copy of Guardian Heroes? I HATE you! I haven't gotten to play that for like 10 years. I still long for the day...
I'm not watching this. You evil, torturous, son of a bitch.
I want but I can't. The pain is horrible...
The talking was annoying and not funny at all.
THAT WAS EROTIC
I agree, it's pretty inane babbling.
I thought the commentary was charming.
Definitely looking forward to this game - I'll be buying it the Wednesday after next.
I want a 360 to play this.
I will spare myself watching this so I can just play when it comes out.
