You know when you stop and think about it, weapons in video games are overlooked and generally not given much credit. It’s surprising what little consideration we give them sometimes. Weapons are just as important to the narrative as much as the protagonist is. What would a hero like Simon Belmont be without his signature whip the “Vampire Killer”. Or even Mega Man for that matter minus his famous Mega Buster. As much as we love many of these classic games, they’d be considerably different if not for the weapons these heroes possess.
