When I play Castlevania, I always imagine Dracula sitting in his room watching you tear through his minions on security monitors thinking the next boss is the one that's going to get you.
...except that it would most likely be a series of crystalline orbs that project the images onto special mirrors via arcane, occult, and Satanic magic, Internet Tough Guy. I mean, seriously, why would Dracula invent the television like four or five centuries ahead of the rest of the world? He would be bored looking at static, snow, or a black screen all day long. I mean, who would make programs for his televisions in medieval times, anyway? They already labeled him, and rightly so, as an agent of Lucifer. Also, I don't think that you need pecs and two arms on your arm...have you been swimming around the nuclear power plant again?
This gameplay blew my mind! How did I never hear of a remake of the original Castlevania for the PSone? It looks awesome and the music is just as badass as the NES original!
Well, as far as I know, RicardoThePlayer, there was a version of Castlevania for the Japanese MSX, which is a somewhat niche video game console, and that version of the game is the one that is also on this video, and not the NES/FDS versions of the game. However, like Metal Gear for the FDS/NES, the Japanese port of Castlevania, which, up until this game, was known as Akumajou Drakula, just like the FDS version of Castlevania, there are things that are different in this game than its NES/FDS counterparts. Unlike Metal Gear, though, the differences are far more vast for the different Castlevania ports for each system. Now Contra for the MSX, on the other hand, that version of the game should have added more bosses, and then shipped to the NES/FDS that way instead.
@@stef5152 it’s because the original game was made in 1990-91, it wasn’t until the PSX or Saturn era you had a console that could handle the Sharp X68000’s power.
It's one of the many depictions of Simon Belmont's assault on Dracula's castle: Castlevania (NES) Vampire Killer (MSX2) Haunted Castle (Arcade) Super Castlevania IV (SNES) Castlevania Chronicles (Sharp X68000 and PSX) Oddly enough, in Japan, each and every one of those games had the exact same name: Akumajō Dracula (Demon Castle Dracula).
This is one of my top 5 castlevanias its really cool how they incorporated a lot of enemies and levels from the other games. This guy who plays this plays it as good or better than the creators.
48:22 "You try to hit the Knight, but you can't cause you're too busy dodging medusas, but you can't Dodge medusas cause you're too trying to Dodge the axes, but you can't Dodge the axes cause you're to busy trying to hit the knight, but you can't hit the knight cause the game is turning you fucking crazy, look at the pattern"
How cute that they brought back the notorious "kneel for a few seconds" trick from Simon's Quest, but not in such a controversial way. In this game, kneeling wins yous 1ups; in SQ it was like, the only way to pass the game, this rendering the game impossible without Nintendo Power
Three reasons to love this game: 1:10:53 Thrashard in the Cave 1:36:05 The Tower of Dolls 1:40:55 Etude for the Killer. Sota Fujimori happened to make those three tracks extremely epic in all ways possible... I don't like their original versions, but these arranged ones are a dream.
Saxon1994 this DOES look like shit considering the ps1 had 'Symphony of the night' which is the best castlevania and one of the best 2d games of all time. This came out after plus the ps1 was perfectly capable of pulling off great 2d gaming yet this looks worse than super castlevania 4!
Paul Seidler Because this game wasn't originally on the PS1 it actually is from a obscure gaming computer from the 80s known as the sharp x68000, the only thing that the psx hardware is doing here is emulating the game in the original mode, in the arrange mode is pretty much the same although it is actually running in the psx hardware without an emulator reason why it's graphics and music are different
This Player must be AwesomeLy insane to pLay this way, right?!! >.< !!! You're CrazyLy Awesome ... Never BLed... Never Lost or Missed A Thing... Thank You for showing us this Masterpiece...

+florence flojo I know. Hell, even I'm not that good! I can beat the game, yes, but I've never made it all the way through without taking damage somewhere along the way. The area that seems to screw me up pretty consistently is the fourth set of stages, a.k.a. the Red Brick Cathedral (21:25-27:30). It seems like I can't avoid taking damage somewhere in that area, whether it be from a standard enemy or from Medusa (I've noticed that when the fight with her begins, it becomes clear that aside from her ability to petrify you, she also LOVES to try to sneak in cheap shots with her tail whenever she can).
Man, cool! Wow, just wow! Real pro walk through! Was it tool-assisted in anyway? Or is it just your favorite game? Or is it that you're just that good? heh!
Shame Konami removed the talking that the dolls do in the Japanese release. They do more than just go wah (when hit), they also have speech in the original release.
+Penfold8 Originally it was released for The Sharp X68000 then it was re-released for PlayStation with an arrange mode that gave you an arranged version of the game's soundtrack and some new and redesign levels.
So in this video, there are two different soundtracks for Original and Arrange modes? And in T-0815's long play [083], a "Roland GS MIDI music" track is used? So the game in essence has three soundtracks, or did I mishear? Sorry to ask a bunch of sound questions, but the soundtrack (particularly the one heard in the [083] longplay) is so awesome in and of itself, I am considering getting the game through PSN for it.
has an arcade feel to it and look. The whip cracking is anoying though imo and I hate how they changed the boss music. Call me retro or old fationed or whatever. It's still pretty cool even with new music and graphics. I would love to play this with a joystick.
33:13, why do I feel like that people ship both Simon Belmont, and She Wolf together? It would have to be a gigantic and we'll fleshed out fanfiction to make the basic level of sense, or maybe someone could just make Castlevania I in the style of Symphony of the Night, and just have one of the goals for the true ending be: Rescue Andrea Tifa, and she turns out to be the She Wolf. Wait what am I talking about?
Great job playing both versions of the game. The original is great (albeit very difficult), with only a few sound effects and Simon's awkward walk as minor annoyances. I like the little graphical enhancements in the Arranged - well, except those awful CG movies. This game looks very dark and gloomy compared to most other Castlevanias - look at the prison, or the laboratory full of corpses. Even the Dracula fight, it's similar to the Rondo of Blood one, yet Dracula's face gets horribily distorted when he loses parts of the energy, he's decapitated, regenerates from the blood, and the demon form is much creepier. A pity several (younger?) players diss this one so much.
Is a Castlevania one remake the levels feel oddly familiar...note I've never completed castlevania one for nes... I have it on an emulator though ...and just last weekend got the nes Castlevania...
This is a great game. But I don't really like the sound for when Simon uses his whip. It doesn't sound like a whip; it sounds like someone hitting the drums.
The simon and Dracula's sprite are completely redone by the new Ayami Kojima's design, the difficulty setting in completely different, the music was totally rearranged.

Watch Castlevania terminal montage
The peeping eye serves as the castle's watchdog, the creature can be seen on 4:08 behind the windows
Then he gets pissed off when you kill them

Oh, I wish we had someone funny and talented make that into a machinima.
He would probably do better if he stopped using the exact same moveset trough all games. Only variation he does is the transformation sometimes :V
He's just got this Stone Cold Steve Austin thing going the whole time.
Castlevania: The Anger Management Chronicles
Wow, this version of Dracula's castle is one of the best!
It has of everything here, a crystal mine, underground cave, hall of toys, laboratory, etc.
Simon has red hair!?
That explains his design in Castlevania Judgement.
It's one of the many depictions of Simon Belmont's assault on Dracula's castle:
Castlevania (NES)
Vampire Killer (MSX2)

@@purwantiallan5089 Hiya!!
@Jose Rafael Contreras true. Simon when walking looks weak but fast when running.
The torture dungeon at 41:16 may be the most visually spooky stage of any Castlevania.
Fer real!!! Imagine a remake/remaster of this stage!? It would be absolutely terrifying!
I think the room at 36:02 was built for Alucard when he was a kid to play with his toys and celebrate his birthday.

1:40:55 Etude for the Killer.
Sota Fujimori happened to make those three tracks extremely epic in all ways possible... I don't like their original versions, but these arranged ones are a dream.
I love Vampire Killer and Simon’s Theme. I’m a fan of All Clear myself!
Etude for the killer is a kinda odd name...
The music in this game is probably my favorite Castlevania soundtrack.
It saddens me to think about how many people overlook this game.
cuando le da a los candelabros suena como explotando globos xDDD
Okay I just had to say this guy is an expert at this game! Great job ScHIAuChi
this play through was impeccable, kudos
I always wondered what the ending for this game looked like; thanks for showing it to me. GREAT gaming!
Most Castlevanias end with Dracula’s Castle collapsing at the end. Take the original NES ending for example, or Haunted Castle for the arcade.
Or Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse.
Is there a baphomet on the background at 18:44?
good catch, I saw it too
21:35 Best stage, best music.
chronicles is probelly the best 2d game for visuals. and i love at 52:55 you are kneeling at the old hidden crucifix to get a bonus. great detail
Watching this while my PS3 is updating. Really passing the time lol.
Still updating?

this game was awesome but frustratingly difficult. especially the tower of dolls stage....
Wow this came out in 1993, I think I was Hooked on Super Nes and Sega at that time, that's why I never even heard of this game.
It was also on a Japan only computer.
@@donkeykongisytpooping3002x68000
Some of the backgrounds in this game are incredible.
I especially like that statue crying blood.
I miss the iconic classic of Castlevania.
Those ice skeletons are pretty sweet
esse video chega a me dar falta de ar véi
Forgot you can whip downward in this game, that's why I always jumped into zombies in the last segment of the first stage xD
Well played, man.
The Clock Tower music reminds me of a Psychedelic Circus.
would people buy the game just because of the soundtrack, or the actual gameplay?
It was an excellent game in 1993 on the Sharp X68000. Obviously it's not going to be as cutting edge 9 years later.
It's an excellent old school Castlevania until today, the best version of the first Castlevania for sure.
Man, that whip and object breaking sound is way too much. Sounds like someone constantly popping balloons. :-o
5:57 The never ending fleemen
1:26:55 I wish I had that evil Medusa laugh as a notification
This game looks awesome.

Best Castlevania OST
Wait, why does Dracula have a chapel in his evil, satanic haunted castle?
Evil needs a place to worship too. But in truth, he used to be Orthodox is why.
gotta love that music
What do you think about the Arranged Mode's music? I think they made it obnoxious!
1:10:52 Music is just too good!
Also, did the Ice King appear in this game all this time before Adventure Time?
This looks like an Arcade game. Was it ever released in the arcades or was it on a game console?
+Penfold8 The Play Station 1, never for arcades
+Penfold8 Originally it was released for The Sharp X68000 then it was re-released for PlayStation with an arrange mode that gave you an arranged version of the game's soundtrack and some new and redesign levels.
The music is really bad ass
am I the only one who thinks that Dracula's first phase kinda looks like the Joker from Batman?
Nah, his second does.
His first form only looks like that in the Original mode but in Arranged, that form's design looks different
I did not remember the bone dragon as a boss... reminded me of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
The whip is in the right hands

It basically IS the same game with slight differences, yes.
The werewolf is a boss of the mechanical tower ? Interesting.
That also happens with Carmilla in Dracula X if you don't want Richter to save Annette
Whenever hw whips it sounds like hes cursing
