one of my fav castlevania games and one of my fav games on the system the alacard path i likedas wellcause of the challenge of it syphra path ismore manage able its coolin that you can take mult paths
I enjoyed your musings on bats in NES games. Erin, you have a great sense of humor that makes watching your videos thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait for more!
This game scared me as hell as a kid, but it was also the reason I started to study chinese chain whip, one of the weapons I like the most. I loved watching you play, the way you genuinely focus is admirable, it's something we shouldn't lose growing up.
ran out ov documentories and the old screaming manbaby doesn't have anything new to watch so I'm here stalking the other half. thanks for keeping me company too
If it weren't for the Medusa heads and bats, this and the others in the series would probably almost too easy lol New subscriber by the way and enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work! :)
I just find your channel and of course my first video of yours had to be Castlevania 3. Love this series and this video. I'm so happy I find this channel of yours. I'm now a subsricber.
@@BriansManCave I actually find the first one, to be much easier than the third one. At least that's how I see this, since I've beaten it four times. The third one gives the player more of a challenge, in my opinion.
I hate the American version. On the other hand the famicom version of Castlevania 3 is one of my favorite games ever. However 4 is my favorite in the series
Hi Erin.Subbed to you after I caught your comment on Gamesack's vid from this past Sunday.Checking out your channel and just wanted to say you got some good stuff going on here.Im looking forward to what's next. :)
I wasn't planning on making more than one video on this, but I wont be able to rest until I finish this. Currently deciding if I should do the rest as a video or live stream. Thanks so much for watching!
How does every Erin Plays video I watch have a Devo reference in it somewhere? :) Well, I mean, it's a very cool thing because Devo is a brilliant and underappreciated band/satirical art collective whose work is as relevant in the 2010's as ever. DEVOLUTION IS REAL.
22:26 "I know these platforms are gonna get me" (walks off ledge) Too funny! Good stuff once again Erin. In the beginning you mentioned how badass the music is. You should check out the soundtrack of Akumajou Densetsu (the JP version of CV3). It is enhanced by the VRC6 chip which allows more sound channels and whatnot.
I also forgot to mention that in the JP version the hunchbacks have a totally different sprite and look more like two legged demon things. Maybe they'd be a little less unsettling to you :P
You had me at "...the most satisfying weapon you can use I think is probably is spread in Contra." If there was ever a subjective opinion candidate for transforming into an objective fact is this one.
Oooh, another Castlevania vid! I generally prefer the cross/boomerang as a sub-weapon when playing, but when they started adding in item crashes (Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night) I would use the holy water because I liked using hydro storm. Thanks for the great vid and spoopy ending!
I love the Axe in classic Castlevania games because it is the only weapon that hits up, making it so much easier to kill those pesky flying enemies and monster on upper levels. That was fun to watch! You should play Ninja Gaiden sometime ;)
I'm still new to the 'Vania-verse, so I'm learning something new about the weapons all the time, haha. And yes, I love Ninja Gaiden so that will for sure happen some time soon. Thanks for watching! :)
This game was really good. My NES is trash and I haven't owned that game in years. I'm using the FC Twin for my NES and SNES right now. I bought 2 different copies of that game and it did not work on my retro console. I come to find out that not all games will work on some of them retro consoles. My advice is to anyone buying a retro console is to do your reasearch before buying one. Make sure it is compatible with the games you do have. Great video by the way. Once I start making videos and get another copy of this game, I will definitely review it.
i have yet to even lay my hands on this game. i hear its pretty tough. i'm sure everyone knows this by now, but Castlevania III is the game that the characters in Netflix's Castlevania are based on! great vid Erin! keep up the great work!
if you have Netflix you should def check it out, especially if you're a Castlevania fan! there are tons of little homages and nods to the game series. the developers def know what they're doing. only 4 episodes so you can binge it in about 2 hours. its well made and super good too!
It's good that you went Sypha's path. Because the only other major option is Alucard's path, which is twice as hard (especially stage 7, ugh). Btw, you can now change characters by pressing select.
Erin, what top 3 games do you think got you into gaming. I loved watching my brother play NES games. For sure Castlevania 3, Metroid and Mario hooked me. How about you?
The music in this video game is awesome. Great play through, and you are very funny. Looking forward to more videos and live streams. 😬👻 will Erin get the power back on to finish this game? Guess we have to wait and see.
Definitely my favorite of the NES Castlevanias! I usually took the Sypha path because I thought she was neat, even if she's not as handy as Grant or Alucard's platforming skips
Herb Cruz Grant is awesome in the Japanese version, where he has unlimited throwing daggers as his default weapon. The difficulty in the Western version of the game was also increased, making the secondary characters less effective than they were supposed to be.
Ah, Castlevania III... I still have yet to finish this. I made it to Dracula a few times when I was younger, but always died on his third form, got frustrated, and gave up. :( One of these days, though...
Love this game! I played this one before I even tried the first Castlvania! Good thing too because its so much better and you don't rage quit as much :)
I remember playing this when it first released truth I was better back then than now you should try Thimbleweed Park on the Switch next I am enjoying the point and click adventure.
Oh mer gerrrrrd! Gamer chick that loves castlevania.... that’s my heart right there!, Castlvania is probably one of my favourite series! And Castlevania 3 is wicked! Did you ever play through Bloodlines on Sega Genesis? Awesome game! Honestly you can’t go wrong with castlevania on the Nes or snes or PlayStation... they all rock!
Good stuff! Try the Famicom version if you can. Same basic game with some minor differences but better, richer music. Don't forget Dracula X on the PC Engine, my personal favorite Castlevania game.
Castlevania 3 is amazing, especially with the multiple routes. Yeah the poor bats are just coming to say hello and you whip them in the face for no reason! WTF? You are the true monster here. Also I noticed you altered the video a little bit in editing, darkening it.
Yes, I'm really enjoying it so far! And there has to be a hack where the bats are power ups, right? I can't be the only person who wants this. In regards to the darkening, do you mean on the game footage? If so, I didn't change anything. It's just however the AVS looks going through my Elgato into OBS.
OOH. Yes, had to do a bit of color correction since I'm still not super awesome at lighting (at least I think it looks awesome while I'm filming and then when I watch it back I'm like "oh.") At least it goes with the spooky Halloween theme? Haha.
Holy water deals multiple hits of damage to enemies but you have to be very precise with it and either drop it on them or the have to touch the Little 🔥 it makes when it hits the ground which doesn’t last long. It’s a good weapon to use on to rock monsters in the cave in super castlevania 4.
Awesome video! Enjoyed it and have only played this game a few times but did you know you could change between characters? I was waiting on you to do it and then be like, “wth?” Great game tho.
My favorite Castlevania on the NES! Great job, as always, Erin! PS Do you know Joe and/or Dave from Game Sack, or are you both just fans of each other's content?
Erin Plays Thank you for answering; it's very sweet of you to do so. For sure, I just figured I'd ask, since I found your channel through one of those "If you like X, you might like Y" recommendations on RUclips, and have seen them post on your channel, and you on theirs. No need to thank me for watching; thank you for making great videos!
Ah, the hardest Castlevania game on the NES. Thank you, Erin! Too bad that it doesn't have the Contra 30-life code (There is a 10-life code, though). What would you say is the hardest game that you've ever beaten?
I didn't know about the 10 life code, interesting! Hmm, well without thinking too hard about it, Adventures in the Magic Kingdom came to mind because some parts are seriously out of control, haha. But when I beat the Joker in Batman, I'll probably change my answer :) Thanks Herbert!
I kept waiting for you to accidentally discover how to access Syfa. And yeah, that potion is invincibility but it lasts for such a short time you can't ever do anything useful with it. All this reminds me that i have to try to beat this game taking the hardest (longest) route. I remember as a kid the Skeleton Knight fight redux always beat me...too many flying bones
Hey! I'm not exclusive to consoles, so it's totally possible some older PC stuff will pop up eventually. And hmm, I'm not familiar with that one but I'll have to look it up :)

This remains the one Castlevania I've never beaten.
Dear lord is it hard.
I enjoyed your musings on bats in NES games. Erin, you have a great sense of humor that makes watching your videos thoroughly enjoyable. Can't wait for more!
The hunchback’s were switched out with a more demon looking sprite in the Japanese version of cv3, just a little fun fact...
Girl, you got chops, I have to admit. Good to see someone keeping the retro flame alive!
Why thank you!
Good selection of games you play Erin. I love anything Castlevania.
This game scared me as hell as a kid, but it was also the reason I started to study chinese chain whip, one of the weapons I like the most. I loved watching you play, the way you genuinely focus is admirable, it's something we shouldn't lose growing up.
ran out ov documentories and the old screaming manbaby doesn't have anything new to watch so I'm here stalking the other half.
thanks for keeping me company too
2:13 - 2:38 - I giggled a little too much at that. Great video, you were making some awesome progress; and as ever, with fun commentary.
Really good Castlevania game 👍👍👍
Hooray!!!
Can’t wait for the next live stream!!
Awesome work was lots of fun to watch.
I like how you play in Castlevania 3 you're so awesome keep the videos coming they are well appreciated thank you so much.
That video was great. 😆
Damn the thunder storms, they SCARE me 🤐 and power outtages almost gave me heart attacks. 😱
Thanks!!
Now thanks to the Netflix series im picturing Trevor just saying "im Trevor F***ing Bellmont " when ever he gets hit .
Thanks for this Erin,i always like to see someone play better at a video game than me,i could never progress far in this one
the world needs RUclipsrs who play retro games like you
I’m trying to fill that void 😄
Awesome! One of my favorite Castlevania games. The music and platforming in this game is straight up amazing. Cheers!
New game take a drink every time she jumps haha
"I know these platforms are gonna get me."
Not THAT platform! XD
If it weren't for the Medusa heads and bats, this and the others in the series would probably almost too easy lol New subscriber by the way and enjoying your videos. Keep up the good work! :)
Best castlevania by far. Great video!
2:30 - Ability to use enemies' powers?
Have you ever played Castlevania Aria of Sorrow/Dawn of Sorrow? (AKA SMB3Vania)
I just find your channel and of course my first video of yours had to be Castlevania 3. Love this series and this video. I'm so happy I find this channel of yours. I'm now a subsricber.
Thank you very much!
"Because wall turkeys and what not" - hahahah. If you said that to me on the street I'd know you were talking about Castlevania.
My favorite Castlevania!
Geek House Mine also and my favorite video game of all time
for sure! part 1 is just hard... part 2 is completely different kind of game ... part 3 they got it right!
@@BriansManCave I actually find the first one, to be much easier than the third one. At least that's how I see this, since I've beaten it four times. The third one gives the player more of a challenge, in my opinion.
@@elefsidi Yeah, the 3rd one has a lot more options on where to go and which characters to use.
I hate the American version. On the other hand the famicom version of Castlevania 3 is one of my favorite games ever. However 4 is my favorite in the series
Favorite Castlevania of them all.
so happy I found your channel :]
What a horrible night...
To have a curse.
Love your channel good job 👍
Hi Erin.Subbed to you after I caught your comment on Gamesack's vid from this past Sunday.Checking out your channel and just wanted to say you got some good stuff going on here.Im looking forward to what's next. :)
14:15 , politely asking the skeleton to stop 😄
Erin shows us how not to play Castlevania 3 Dracula's curse and Lord Kayoss shows us how to play the game correctly. But it's still a great video Erin
Great video,Erin. Can't wait to see what happens next.
I wasn't planning on making more than one video on this, but I wont be able to rest until I finish this. Currently deciding if I should do the rest as a video or live stream. Thanks so much for watching!
Beating this game was probably my greatest accomplishment in life. Good times 🤔
That ship with Medusa is hard as nails and it drove me crazy
How does every Erin Plays video I watch have a Devo reference in it somewhere? :) Well, I mean, it's a very cool thing because Devo is a brilliant and underappreciated band/satirical art collective whose work is as relevant in the 2010's as ever. DEVOLUTION IS REAL.
I have beaten Ghosts and Goblins, but I haven't beaten this. Its so tough, especially in later stages.
Awesome game. My favorite of the series. I did two playthroughs of it on my channel!
22:26 "I know these platforms are gonna get me" (walks off ledge) Too funny! Good stuff once again Erin. In the beginning you mentioned how badass the music is. You should check out the soundtrack of Akumajou Densetsu (the JP version of CV3). It is enhanced by the VRC6 chip which allows more sound channels and whatnot.

I also forgot to mention that in the JP version the hunchbacks have a totally different sprite and look more like two legged demon things. Maybe they'd be a little less unsettling to you :P
phunq yeah, I know what you're talking about. They look way cooler in my opinion! :)
You had me at "...the most satisfying weapon you can use I think is probably is spread in Contra." If there was ever a subjective opinion candidate for transforming into an objective fact is this one.
Almost every subweapon (except for the knife) is decent, in this game.
iCach0 I played Contra too much. The lazer and flamethrower are objectively the best weapons.
Your old videos still keep popping up. I love seeing the ones I missed. Did you ever do a video of “Out of this World”? Please do.
SNES game
Thanks for watching my old videos! And no I haven’t played that one but I’d be down to check it out cuz it’s kind of weird looking haha
Oooh, another Castlevania vid! I generally prefer the cross/boomerang as a sub-weapon when playing, but when they started adding in item crashes (Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night) I would use the holy water because I liked using hydro storm.
Thanks for the great vid and spoopy ending!
That's cool, I haven't played Rondo of Blood or Symphony of the Night (yet!). And I'm glad you appreciate the spoopy-ness! Thanks for watching :D
Erin Plays Most definitely have to try those two.
I love the Axe in classic Castlevania games because it is the only weapon that hits up, making it so much easier to kill those pesky flying enemies and monster on upper levels. That was fun to watch! You should play Ninja Gaiden sometime ;)

i have yet to even lay my hands on this game. i hear its pretty tough. i'm sure everyone knows this by now, but Castlevania III is the game that the characters in Netflix's Castlevania are based on! great vid Erin! keep up the great work!
Cool, I didn't know that about the show! That's probably because I haven't watched it yet, haha. And thanks so much :)

Just wait until you reach the stage with the falling blocks. That part pissed me off for weeks!
it's always a good night for a Dracula's curse
So, eleven minutes in, and we learn that Erin digs on whips...
...right on. {:
It's good that you went Sypha's path. Because the only other major option is Alucard's path, which is twice as hard (especially stage 7, ugh). Btw, you can now change characters by pressing select.
Thanks for the tip! I haven't tried changing characters yet.
Just remember to never take on Alucard’s path unless you take Alucard with you. Otherwise block 7 is nearly impossible to clear.
I had the original Nintendo Castlevania as a kid it was one of my favorite games.
Holy water FTW
Hey Erin, you scared me jeez!
Erin, what top 3 games do you think got you into gaming. I loved watching my brother play NES games. For sure Castlevania 3, Metroid and Mario hooked me. How about you?
Love this channel! Castlevania forever!
👍
you played realy good erin better than me lol
Like watching your video
That top notch acting XD. Oh I love it, seriously.
I'm glad you appreciate it! haha. Thanks for watching :)
It's actually a cross ✝️ and not a boomerang.😆 Also the spiders hurl more spiders at you.🕷 But either way great video 📹 Erin. 👍❤
The music in this video game is awesome. Great play through, and you are very funny.
Looking forward to more videos and live streams.
😬👻 will Erin get the power back on to finish this game? Guess we have to wait and see.
Thanks so much, Jose!
Jose The Japanese version is even better. They used a special chip to enhance the music, which sadly was not used in the western versions of the game.
The game doesn't get really ragey until near the end. I always liked getting Grant in the clock tower, even if that level can be tricky.
Definitely my favorite of the NES Castlevanias! I usually took the Sypha path because I thought she was neat, even if she's not as handy as Grant or Alucard's platforming skips
Positron Grant was trash. Alucard was awesome, though.
Nice! Yeah, I'd like to eventually go the other path just to see what happens. Usually my issue is too many games, but now it's too many paths!
+Erin Plays it's nice to have the password system so you can go through the different paths
Herb Cruz Grant is awesome in the Japanese version, where he has unlimited throwing daggers as his default weapon. The difficulty in the Western version of the game was also increased, making the secondary characters less effective than they were supposed to be.
yea and its a more manageble path her spells are powerful and willdestroy dracula
Ah, Castlevania III... I still have yet to finish this. I made it to Dracula a few times when I was younger, but always died on his third form, got frustrated, and gave up. :( One of these days, though...
never beat it either, but I did get to the end
This game reminds me school, Fresh Prince and summers playing NES
Haha - watch out that thunder Erin! :D Lets hope the light comes back, we want you to continue. ;)
Medusa heads+flippy floor panels= arrrrrrrrgh!!!!!!
Such a tuff game.you should do bloodlines for a Erin plays
Love this game! I played this one before I even tried the first Castlvania! Good thing too because its so much better and you don't rage quit as much :)
this music is like heavy metal jazz
I remember playing this when it first released truth I was better back then than now you should try Thimbleweed Park on the Switch next I am enjoying the point and click adventure.
Oh mer gerrrrrd! Gamer chick that loves castlevania.... that’s my heart right there!, Castlvania is probably one of my favourite series! And Castlevania 3 is wicked! Did you ever play through Bloodlines on Sega Genesis? Awesome game! Honestly you can’t go wrong with castlevania on the Nes or snes or PlayStation... they all rock!
this game is one of the best
Awsome video, James Rolfe and the whole Cinemassacre crew should do a video with you asap :D
There's a lot more crossovers that need to happen first: Game Sack, Game Chasers, Metal Jesus, etc.
Soup or Nintendo? Totally agree...they should jump on the opportunity before she gets even more famous than they are :D
Good stuff! Try the Famicom version if you can. Same basic game with some minor differences but better, richer music. Don't forget Dracula X on the PC Engine, my personal favorite Castlevania game.
I love the old classics
Amazing video. Have you ever tried rom hack for the Nintendo before, like Mario.
Castlevania 3 is amazing, especially with the multiple routes. Yeah the poor bats are just coming to say hello and you whip them in the face for no reason! WTF? You are the true monster here. Also I noticed you altered the video a little bit in editing, darkening it.

I mean you. The live footages.
OOH. Yes, had to do a bit of color correction since I'm still not super awesome at lighting (at least I think it looks awesome while I'm filming and then when I watch it back I'm like "oh.") At least it goes with the spooky Halloween theme? Haha.
yea it is i will say i have never beten the game but did get all the way to draculas castle
Castlevania 3 never played it.
You should start teaching your own form of self defense that involves jumping around if provoked.
Is there a game out there for the nes that you like but just have not been able to beat yet?
Batman! I've gotten to the joker but haven't beat him yet. Besides that, I'd like to eventually beat this :)
Can’t wait til’ you play Maniac Mansion (Prototype)
It always pissed me off that the hearts don’t give you life. Like why? Hahaha❤❤❤
Holy water deals multiple hits of damage to enemies but you have to be very precise with it and either drop it on them or the have to touch the Little 🔥 it makes when it hits the ground which doesn’t last long. It’s a good weapon to use on to rock monsters in the cave in super castlevania 4.
Or They*
On the*
yes, a good choice! would also like to see castlevania II-simon's quest
Maybe some day down the line :)
would like to see you complete the game, it's so easy!
So cute in the beginning...😄
Awesome video! Enjoyed it and have only played this game a few times but did you know you could change between characters? I was waiting on you to do it and then be like, “wth?” Great game tho.
Yeah, I started switching characters in my live streams of this. Thanks for watching! :)
Yeah, it is gonna kick your ass- this in the top ten hardest nes games!
Sweet game very challenging one too
Hey! We were mentioned together on Slopes top 10 under 5000, so I’m dropping in to say hi! C3 isn’t my favorite but it is very good
GTV hey there!
My favorite Castlevania on the NES! Great job, as always, Erin!

19:58 made me spit out my boba
Erin is a Gangsta!!!!👍👍🎅
I have to wear things in my ears playing loud hissing sounds to make tinnitus quiter
Erin strikes that perfect balance between adorable cuteness and gruesome goth horror. What a babe...
erin your channel is the female version of cinemassacre plays, good channel
I kept waiting for you to accidentally discover how to access Syfa. And yeah, that potion is invincibility but it lasts for such a short time you can't ever do anything useful with it.
All this reminds me that i have to try to beat this game taking the hardest (longest) route. I remember as a kid the Skeleton Knight fight redux always beat me...too many flying bones
Medusa heads make me want to chuck a controller.
idk if you are exclusively consoles or if you do old school pc games too, if so if you can do boulders gate" that'll be " savage" :-)
Hey! I'm not exclusive to consoles, so it's totally possible some older PC stuff will pop up eventually. And hmm, I'm not familiar with that one but I'll have to look it up :)
if you ever do decide to I'd be happy to give you tips while you play, pretty good offer I'd think!!
