This is my orchestral tribute to one of the greatest game of the NES era, not to mention the amazing soundtrack which is one of the best of the series.
The original Soundtrack was written by Japanese Composers
Hidenori Maezawa, Jun Funahashi and Yukie Morimoto.
Whether you're a fan of the original game or just love melodic orchestral music, this cover is sure to make you feel nostalgia as you listen to it. So sit back, relax, and prepare to be transported to a world of adventure and excitement.

Words can't describe this revamped soundtrack for probably my favorite game of all time. Right in the feels. Such a splendid job!
The original soundtrack is so good, it was such fun to remake these tracks:) and the game is fun to play also!:)
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 its probably far beyond needing a remake sound track wise, but hearing these revamped makes me want to hear Circle of The Moon for GBA Orchestrated
@@PsijicElectro I never played it but I will sure check out the music! I'm sure it is awesome, as is most of the castlevania soundtracks:)
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 it borrows and remakes a lot of songs from other Castlevania games. Especially CV3 so hearing the rest revamped would be so badass lol
@@PsijicElectro I'll check it out! The soundtrack is probably on youtube!

Thanks a lot! I should have put Chapters on it!
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 no problem! I did the longest regular boss fight and left out the rest for those looking for specific track(s)
😮
I always loved this video game and the music in it. My dad who passed in 2016 was big on classical music, loved Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven. He never played a video game a day in his life, but I feel he would have greatly appreciated this collection. The orchestration is immaculate, this turned my video game jams into a musical masterpiece
R.I.P
Thanks for the unrelated sob story. Really improving everyone’s experience
Every one the tracks sound so good! Like they are played by an orchestra! Yet they remain true to the original feel of the NES versions. But with more of the feeling. Wonderful!
My fave game soundtrack of all time, great to hear it in orchestral form
This sounds great. Very well done 👏
Wow! I loved Castlevania 3 and its sound track variants. This orchestral cover is amazingly good!
Seriously, amazing stuff! Castlevania content is one of my favourites, and you've hit the mark!
Thanks a lot! This has always been my favorite series of games as far as the music is concerned, The games are also a blast to play:)
Absolutely amazing to listen to…but can we also appreciate the flawless gameplay on such a challenging game? Wow!
It is fun to watch, but I have to be honest, it was done with an emulator, so a lot of saving / reloading to make it this good, I'm not that talented of a player ahahah
Muy honesto de tu parte jajaja
Wow you did an amazing job, hope game companies are listening.
You -really - hit home with this work
Awesome work- love this so much!
This is so divine it's even hard to describe the emotions! Thank you a lot for your amazing work! Please remember how everyone enjoys your music when the thought of giving up crosses your mind. Your work is unparalleled! I'd love to hear one original composition of yours in that style as well someday! 😊
Thanks a lot for the comment! I don't think I will completely give up, because I love doing this, but I may start making a lot less, I love doing this but it takes a lot of time. I was hoping I would get a lot of interaction on this one, but out of my 2000 subs, only about 50 interacted with it. I will still continue though:) I love game music too much:)
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 I can't help but come here every day to listen to your masterpiece while working :) I'm really thankful that you're here, even though RUclips is a bit mean! Really keep up the good work. I'd suggest you post each of these pieces separately and in extended version. With time people will surely notice your genius. I really wish someday even Konami would hire you to make music for a remake! I've already played Castlevania I while putting your remixed as background music, that's a whole other feeling! Thank you for everything!
Do Super Castlevania next, please!!
It is in my plans, if I can dind more time soon:)
Great job. The best tribute I have seen. Thank you for making it.
OMG you guys knocked it out of the ballpark...
As a fan of the original NES trilogy , You did a Fang-tastic job capturing the tone of these classic tunes.
Reliving these tunes again was great on the ears. Thank you for the updated sound and for bringing back many memories.
Outstanding work with this! My only critique is that I wish each level had their own complete track and they played one after the other, with the boss track only once at the beginning or end of the entire album or something. You don't need to play the boss track in between every track, though I understand you were following the sequence of the game. It just gets kind of annoying if you're listening to the whole thing having the boss track repeat every few minutes.
Anyway great stuff and got a sub from me. I will be following and checking out more on your channel.
Thanks a lot! I hope you will enjoy the content of this channel:)
Yeah, I would also like a version without boss theme after every level's one.
I understand, but the purpose of the video was to follow along the game playthrough with the music associates with each scene. It is really meant to be watched as a video. I will make a seperate compilation with all the tracks in order with no repetition:)
Stunning.
Great as always. Also : algorithm, please boost this video.
Thanks a lot, very appreciated! And yes, it would give me a boost of motivation! 😀
Fantastic! I'll never forget playing this game for the first time and being absolutely enchanted by the spectacular music... thank you for keeping this treasure of a soundtrack alive! You are doing God's work!!!
Thank you for the comment! This was one of the most interesting soundtrack to remake, I love this music style so much.
Thank you sir, might I have another? Thank you sir, might I have another? Thank you sir-
110% a fan of these great takes by VG Music!
Thanks a lot for the comment! :) Glad you like it!
Amazing job, one of my favorite games getting an orchestra/goth makeover and hearing it full makes me smile. Keep up the excellent work!
This is beyond the pale! Rapturous and beautiful!
Thanks a lot! Very appreciated:)
this is freaking awesome, excellent work!
Very best Castlevania out of the entire franchise.
I almost agree, but there is SOTN that can't be beaten for me:)
Like everything you do, and as I stated when this came out on the Patreon, this is f--king awesome. [...pardon my language]
Thanks a lot! Your support is very appreciated!!
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 honestly, many of these classics are great to see remastered. I also like how you sort of have different instrumentation styles for different games. Speaking of which, are there any games you've wanted to get back into recreating?
@@blermp_xd Oh yes, a lot of them, I think Legacy Of the Wizard has an absolutely beautiful soundtrack to remake, as well, as all the early final fantasy games, I could do it for the rest of my life and still have more to do lol
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 yeah! Many rpgs have incredible music. I know your primary focus is like mid 80s to mid 90s, but I'd personally recommend searching up the soundtrack of the 2000 game "Pokémon gold and silver", the sequel to 1995's Pokémon red and blue (you've already covered 2 tracks from red and blue), as it's one of the most renowned 8 bit soundtracks of all time, covering a variety of moods, even if you don't have plans to remake it.
Nes Best game Best soundtrack!Masterpiece!👾
This was an outstanding masterpiece my friend. Remastering the CastleVania III: Dracula's Curse OST with modernized orchestral instruments was a great choice, Plus, The sound effects we're a cool touch. From the opening to the game over theme, This was an awesome orchestral CV3 OST project.
A huge thank you for doing this my friend. Next up is An Orchestral Tribute to Super CastleVania IV.
Thanks a lot! Yes indeed, castlevania IV would be a great one to remake! I have friends who don't like this soundtrack but I always loved it!
Well I'm really fond of the Super CastleVania IV soundtrack. It has that special atmospheric mood & the instrument choices we're great for it's time. Plus, The SNES soundchip is top notch.
I highly suggest that the Super CastleVania IV Orchestral Tribute be released in October, Since the SNES classic is still celebrating it's 30th anniversary.
And do check out the trailer of the upcoming CastleVania Chronicles III fan game made by BMC WarMachine.
So definitely check that out. Again, Thank you so much.

Thank you! These composers were indeed awesome!
Nicely done with the soundtrack! I was curious about the gameplay footage, though: did you record yourself playing through? If so, then you're pretty darn good at this game!
Eheheh, the answer is, yes I did record myself, but no I'm not that good, I wish ahah I recorded the game with an emulator, saving and reloading everytime I got hit, so it appears like a flawless performance:)
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Outstanding! I just wish it had a slower pace so I could enjoy it for longer :D
Thanks, I thought the video was too long and people would get tired of it, so I made it go pretty fast lol
This 2 epic
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Thanks for the comment! Glad you like it!:)
Es una belleza lo que hiciste con el soundtrack del juego❤
Just AMAZING!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thanks a lot!
Another masterpiece!!
Thanks a lot! This game is a masterpiece by itself!
❤
I hope epic ost of belmont revenge
So hear me out... I need a 10x lime botton here...
Like*
12:48 that's Mother Axelay Stage 3 Intro , could be the same composer ?
3:57
Where can I find the thumbnail of this video? Nothing of it shows.
Now give us a patch on Romhack lol
❤ = 99
8:38 - But WHY is Sypha referred to as "he?"
Because Sypha being a girl was a bit of a metroid-style twist, in the end cutscene where she takes her hood off and has long hair blowing in the wind it's supposed to be a surprise reveal.
Video should be 4:3 tho 😢
Outstanding job, but horrible edition putting the boss song in between every song ...fckng awful
@@javiertorres2195 lol thanks for the feedback dude but You should check the other video called "1 hour of castlevania music"if you are only want to hear the tunes, this video was meant to show a quick visual recap of the game with matching music to play along with it. This is sort of a summarized playthrough video. I agree that the title is kinda misleading.
@vgmusicrevisited8668 excuse my french guys. Seriously what you did with the music is extraordinaire! But yeah, now I understand the goal was to musicalize the gameplay. Be sure I'll listen to your recomendtion.
"An Orchestral Tribute" aka a miserable little pile of MIDI rips.
@@cuticlecuddlester of course these are midi samples, but they are still " orchestral" samples. Thanks for the feedback dude.
Your arrangement is great. Better than original. I can see that you have already put much effort on this. Love this channel.
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!:)
Ahhh yes. A synthetic orchestra. I would prefer the actual thing but it does sound nice. Well done.
Yeah, that's the best I could do! I Agree that the real thing would be better!
simply amazing !! @@vgmusicrevisited8668
I'm so fuckin here for this!!!
What a time to be a kid.
Yep! There was nothing like it before these games came out! Even with the 8 bit sound, I new that these tunes were masterpieces
9 days ago!? so there's still hope..
I don't think there is still hope, out of 2000 subs, I barely got 10 comments in a week, and not even 1000 views, but it's okay lol No big deal:) thanks for commenting:)
Should have let Sypha follow you, you find out she's a girl at the end and despite how slow she is, she's the most powerful of the 3
You may be right! I Though Trevor was fine:) I'm used to his skills:)
