I'm slowly but surely getting there. I've managed to make it to the Grim Reaper without any cheating whatsoever, which means I've made it past the second-hardest part of the game (that corridor with the axe knights and medusa heads).
@@nerdmetall They made some honestly amazing games back then. Its not just childhood a lot of these games hold up today. Guess they lost of the their talent.
My housemate and I were playing this on the NES Classic last night and constantly dying. Whilst having a few beers and playing we concluded that from 0:43 - 1:07 is the NES Midi equivilant of a boyfriend and girlfriend having an argument!
It's amazing, I typed in the name of this song into youtube and found a ton of remixes with real instruments and synthesizers, YET this version sounds the best to me....
I just released one, made with Reason. Very hard to top or match the original with different instruments for sure, if not impossible. What do you think? ruclips.net/video/9_T-Dq9wr9s/видео.html
0:22 This is by far the best part. The beginning part of this song after the intro plays seems to tell a story in a way. This part feels as if its speaking to the listener, telling it of the mission the player must undergo, while also telling the terrors that the world has been through.
Love this song, and the level that it plays in. While I'm walking the bridge and you see Dracula's Castle in the distance I always think, "man, this is a good-ass game"
+Pedro Juan My bad, I assumed "it's sad" meant that you were looking for a remix to top the original instead of just saying the original can't be remixed as well. Which is a little weird in my thinking, so fml
+kylele23 .. What? I'm gonna make it clearer No official remix of this theme is good enough to compete with the original; doesn't have the feeling this one does; I'm waiting to see one that can convey the same feeling.
So I'm replaying Order of Ecclesia and I bought this record and _dayum_ , I forgot how much this slaps. Why this isn't as popular as Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears eludes me.
@@Durinson1 Currently, I use DeSmuME to play my DS games with. Sadly don't have my actual console anymore. Still hoping Konami will one day grace us with a DS collection.
Those freaking medusa heads,they always pisses me off especially the part where theres a knight attacking you and at the same time medusa heads are moving,Im sure AVGN has already said that
I love the momentum in this song, as well as the use of phrasing with the answering chords emphasizing the previous main rifts. Its actually more interesting musically than Vampire Killer to me.
Truly encapsulated the feeling of adventure as sidescrolling in 2d throughout Dracula's castle as richter Belmont or simon belmont preceding the first installment to the🙄 storyline of vlad tepes and vanpire Hunter clan Belmont.
This is a magnificent track that is used too damn little. Simon is just built like that. Edit: I'm glad Spark Man got a job at mixing audio, he even signs the track at the start.
Yesterday I booted up CV1 for the first time again (getting tired of current gen games). I'll never forget as a kid playing CV1, I couldn't get past level 2, until I finally did with one life left and heard this banger... memories.
Fuck that guy, he sucks. He does nothing original with any of his arrangements, You know what you're going to get every time. Imagine all the instruments replaced by voices. Change nothing else in the song. Boom, done.
I can't wait to whip Dracula with my brother playing as Richter and me as Simon. And my little cousin as Mario! Never thought I'd see the day where Mario can help the Belmonts destroy Dracula! What a time to be alive.
Do you guys want to know how I became a fan of the Castlevania? I went to sleep, and had a dream about Richter. If it wasn't for my dream and Richter, i wouldn't be a fan.
I think I'll get this game on the 3DS Eshop when I get the chance. This track is brilliant and I want to give this game a go. I know it's one of the hardest games out there. But a good challenge never hurt anyone. ;) Plus, I love experiencing other people's childhoods.

You'd think a vampire hunter would wear more protective armor to avoid getting bitten.....
Simon the barbarian doesn't need any.
Simon doesn't plan to get hurt.
Jumping 12 feet in the air > taking the hit
thekaboominator1 he likes flaunting
That's what the whip is for, Plus i don't think turning a vampire hunter into a powerful vampire is in dracula's best interest.
It's frustrating how much this song gets overlooked.
Agreed.
Same
It's also frustrating how it never appeared again in another game -- aside from Chronicles, who did a somewhat okay job at remixing it.
@@TheDaibu A pretty great version is in Smash Ultimate.
Is it?
" It took me 20 years but i finally beat it, uuugh YOUR MOTHER " :D
Love the AVGN Reference. Here's mine. "Well, that's Castlevania. Great game, but holy fuck is it hard." AVGN.
good job m8 I never finished Mother on Nes xD
I'm slowly but surely getting there. I've managed to make it to the Grim Reaper without any cheating whatsoever, which means I've made it past the second-hardest part of the game (that corridor with the axe knights and medusa heads).

No format, no guidelines, no software. You are hearing passion and soul poured into code to produce these sounds.
Konami used to be everyone's childhood...
;_;...
"no software" are you r worded mate?
@@rekaivns you can say retarded
@@nerdmetall They made some honestly amazing games back then. Its not just childhood a lot of these games hold up today. Guess they lost of the their talent.
OP is a tard. What else is new?
They seriously need to use this track more often.
you might check out my new rendition: ruclips.net/video/r8pxB98-6_k/видео.html
Castlevania 1 - 3, but especially 1 has some of the most memorizable and awesome BGMs in gaming history.
Castlevania 4 too
I like this better than bloody tears.I become a child again instantly hearing this.
A wicked child?
ImpossibleCakePro Oh you
i like bloody tears
Ray Samurai
So do i.
+ImpossibleCakePro Hahaha.
I didnt have a whip or any candles nearby but this song made me feel like taking off my belt and whipping any nearby light source

@@johnnymassacre I mean he's not wrong

MastaShake99 you must of heard familyjules version. It's awesome too.
It's 8-bit magic my friend
@Just a Person it does though.
I just released one, made with Reason. Very hard to top or match the original with different instruments for sure, if not impossible. What do you think? ruclips.net/video/9_T-Dq9wr9s/видео.html
Same for me

By far the best track in the soundtrack. Unequivocally. Vampire killer is iconic, but this track just hits differently.
It's neck and neck with bloody tears. Bloody tears translates better to metal and piano, but wicked child is great as it is on nes.
@@hw5091 Bloody Tears sucks, Monster Dance rocks
every time I hear that drumming sound at the beginning of this song I get excited
Castlevania and Final Fantasy had the best music. I still love this 35 laters. Wicked Child and Bloody Tears were always my favorites.
I just watched the Angry Video Game Nerd and this music was playing during the 1st Castlevania that he did in October of 2010
2 axes
Love this song, and the level that it plays in. While I'm walking the bridge and you see Dracula's Castle in the distance I always think, "man, this is a good-ass game"
"Well, I never said it'd be easy"

It's sad how this theme has never gotten a remix that can be better or even match the original.
I think the contrary; it means the original soundtrack can still stand the test of time and that it's still just as glorious today.
***** You think the contrary? That's the exact same thing I said.
+Pedro Juan My bad, I assumed "it's sad" meant that you were looking for a remix to top the original instead of just saying the original can't be remixed as well. Which is a little weird in my thinking, so fml

+Pedro Juan So true. This song is so underrated.
This is my favourite track in the game. Such a great beat!
I found you, faker!
0:22 there ya go kiddos
??WHAT???!
Sakanuian It's too catchy xD!
How did you know what I was here for?
@@denmark1226 cause sounds great
0:43 is why i'm here
So I'm replaying Order of Ecclesia and I bought this record and _dayum_ , I forgot how much this slaps. Why this isn't as popular as Vampire Killer and Bloody Tears eludes me.
Hello! What do you play OOE with?
@@Durinson1 Currently, I use DeSmuME to play my DS games with. Sadly don't have my actual console anymore. Still hoping Konami will one day grace us with a DS collection.
One of the most underrated pieces of Castlevania music.
This theme is amazing in the third stage this first castlevania game really started the series amazing 😍
Better than 99% of the new songs playing in the radio in 2024
Mi soundtrack favorito de Catlevania del Nes, gracias por ponerlo en youtube...Saludos!!!.
:v
Vampire Killer es buena también UwU
Heart of Fire también muy buena
Y de castlevania 2 está la de bloody tears
Castlevania 3 está beginning y aquarius
I'm here because ProJared mentioned how underrated this piece was while he was playing ReVamped. He was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
Composed by Kinuyo Yamashita.
I want to kiss them for this
EXCELENTE TEMA, EL MEJOR DE TODA LA SAGA DE CASTLEVANIA!!!
este y blody tears son los mejores :D
@@ninjaryukedenhayabusa4402 No te olvides de Heart Of Fire del mismo juego,Epitaph,de Castlevania 3,y clockwork,también de Castlevania 3.
Those freaking medusa heads,they always pisses me off especially the part where theres a knight attacking you and at the same time medusa heads are moving,Im sure AVGN has already said that
Wait, I thought they were in the Stalker level.
*_0:22_**_ CHAOS! CHAOS!_*
Nostalgia..........
***** Haha XD
Demais mano, bons tempos que n volta mais
I love the momentum in this song, as well as the use of phrasing with the answering chords emphasizing the previous main rifts. Its actually more interesting musically than Vampire Killer to me.
Thanks to the AVGN, I'll eternally associate this song with the final form of Dracula from this game.
Truly encapsulated the feeling of adventure as sidescrolling in 2d throughout Dracula's castle as richter Belmont or simon belmont preceding the first installment to the🙄 storyline of vlad tepes and vanpire Hunter clan Belmont.
I feel this theme like in the old place and ancient times.
Amazing BGM 💓💗
When I started up shovel knight it sounded a lot like this, and yea inspiration comes from others I know, I've been loving shovel knight btw
God! Such a great song!
Still great. Love it so much. It’s my number one theme with Willys Stage.
FIGHTING GOLD
This was my favorite music from the original Castlevania!! I'm getting shivers just listening to it!!
This is a magnificent track that is used too damn little. Simon is just built like that.
Edit: I'm glad Spark Man got a job at mixing audio, he even signs the track at the start.
Yesterday I booted up CV1 for the first time again (getting tired of current gen games).

Games makes me mad
But damn it’s the reason why future songs in gaming rocks so hard
Damn
This is probably the Castlevania song I think about most. It’s so dang catchy!
Best music of the game.
Fun fact this song also appear in the form of disc item in order of ecclesia.
my favourite soundtrack from castlevania 1
This and Monsters Dance from Simmons Quest are my favorites in the series
This, Bloody Tears, and Vampire Killer have to be my favorite Castlevania tunes.
supreme tension!
Smooth McGroove should do this song ASAP.
All aboard the yes train!
Smooth McGroove Hey, buddy.
We have a suggestion here.
Also, the texture sounds very close to what you're already rockin'.
Fuck that guy, he sucks. He does nothing original with any of his arrangements, You know what you're going to get every time. Imagine all the instruments replaced by voices. Change nothing else in the song. Boom, done.
jmcieslak0 I don't see anything wrong with that -_-
"He Sucks"
XD
You know how much production and work that takes, right?
are you a musician? I didn't think so. It shows :P
Just listening to this makes me want to play it again.
Still the best version of this song man.
Been looking for this song but Never knew or asked what it was called then unlocked it in Metal Gear Survive.
The song of the Hammer Shop un Aria of Sorrow is the same of Wicked Child
Awesome
This is honestly one of my favorite Castlevania tracks. This, Iron Blue Intention, and Simon's theme (From SC4) have to be my favorites.
I would like to announce that Simon and Richter are going to be in SSBU!
Edit: RICHTER IS GETTING A SPINOFF NETFLIX SHOW!
And that this song will be in the game as well!
YEP! REJOICE, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
REJOICE! YOU DONT BELONG IN THIS WORLD
I can't wait to whip Dracula with my brother playing as Richter and me as Simon.
And my little cousin as Mario! Never thought I'd see the day where Mario can help the Belmonts destroy Dracula! What a time to be alive.
Kuma Gamer I'm hyped af
Thank you, Kinuyo Yamashita
@Ben Baxter For a 50+ year old woman she's still pretty good looking, yeah. :P
Can't wait for the Smash remix of this song!
HI ITS SO GOOD
Dracula looks like The Joker...with fangs
AH! the old 8-bit sound of an NES machine i'm in heaven :)
My favorite track from the OG. No idea why it was passed over in future titles.
I'm here because this was in my head today for some reason.
Every time I pull a whip out of a candle, this tune starts playing :D
Favorite song in the entire series.
This will always make me think of the AVGN video.
Yeah!!! this is awesome!
One of the best compositions ever made
Hands down my favorite Castlevania song of all time.
When this tune started at the start of level 3, it meant one thing! Get ready cuz the game is gonna get harder lil by lil!🤣🤣
This is fire 🔥🔥, even after 15 years !
After *38 years* God damn years!
0:22 splatoon 3 moment
00:22 cute part
00:22 sounds like The World Revolving from Deltarune.
This game is fucking incredible
Officially this is the best arcade song ever.
Excellent song
CONFIRMED FOR SMASH
2014 Me : If Simon ever gets to Smash... I hope we can get like 10 musics since Megaman did have 10...
Sakurai : Hold my saké mate.
Ahh... love the good old 8 bit music
0:44 Como Quien Pierde una Estrella - Alejandro Fernandez
My favorite song of the whole game!
I love this one, It's my favorite of the game. :D
Holy shit this sound sped up to my PAL 50Hz ears :)
i just came from an AVGN episode and i heard this so i searched it up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right , A and B.
This is amazing...
Heck yes! Video game music is the best workout music!
2023 feb still listenng amazing
Nice memories :-)
Recordando mi infancia :3
Best 3rd stage level music!
This is the reason I enjoyed being stuck on this level.
never played castlevania but this song is always awesome
Do you guys want to know how I became a fan of the Castlevania? I went to sleep, and had a dream about Richter. If it wasn't for my dream and Richter, i wouldn't be a fan.
what?
What did you do in your dream? Tell me more.
he probably fought Dracula to this theme
I adore the music in this game :D
classic sounds 😊
I think I'll get this game on the 3DS Eshop when I get the chance. This track is brilliant and I want to give this game a go. I know it's one of the hardest games out there. But a good challenge never hurt anyone. ;) Plus, I love experiencing other people's childhoods.
Sometimes it comes on my head and keeeps p,aying repeatedly
