@@keelanbarron928 yes, they added a lot of music from HD into Smash, sadly this one doesn't play on Julius' spirit battle and you don't even fight Richter with the Julius costume. What a waste of material...
i wanna give a special shoutout to the DOS speaker version. of course it doesnt sound very elegant, but making it sound as convincing as that with only a single square wave is impressive.
I agree. You can even feel how it's trying real hard to simulate the original song, and it shows how insightful the creators are in tackling hardware limitations.
Julius theme in Aria of Sorrow has a part of the theme "Don't Wait Until Night" from Haunted Castle, a part of the theme "Heart of Fire" from the first Castlevania, and and own part in the middle of both themes.
I remember the first time I heard harmony of despair/aria of sorrow’s version I was skeptical. I thought “the actual song is only 1/3 of it” but its grown on me and now I love how it builds up and “dont wait til the night” is an excellent song in itself
Aria of sorrow is my favorite version! When the BGM starts, you will feel energized, and ready to beat anyone. The most beautiful part starts from 21:36.
@@HarbingerYT I went and check the particular song in question.....despite being on a better hardware, literally sounds COMPARABLE to that version of Heart of Fire, instruments and all. And even that he's right, the MS-DOS version of Heart of Fire does sound better than Central City.

@@swagkirby3449 Hi, I’m Jack. (Stop! Stop!) And we’re here to tell you about the most awesome word in the whole, wide world. (What’s the word?) OCTAGON!
All version rated (because this is a mashup of 2 separate songs so i rated each version and a mixed version): * Heart of Fire + NES - FDS: Very nice, and i suprised that both are the SAME track + MSX2: Very good, and almost same as the original + Commodore: PLEASE FIX THE SOUND PLEASE COMMODORE! + DOS: When MIDI rises... (PC speaker sound weird, Tandy even WEIRDER, AdLib save the day...) + OoS: Very nice soundfont... * Don't wait until Night + Haunted Castle: ABSOLUTE BANGER!!! * Julius Belmont's Mix + Aria of Sorrow: Good song but GBA need to have a soundchip... + Harmony of Despair: Wow, this is very epic, but... Aquarius is already my favorite in this game...
I prefer the haunted castle version, the connection between DWUN and heart of fire dosent fit very well in my opinion (but all the versions still incredible awesome tho)
9:44 - Hola me estaba preguntando si podrían pasar esa canción otra vez + Mmmm cuál canción viejo? - La que dice bi bu bu bu bi bi + No, te refieres a bi bubu bop bubu bop
Did this song not appear in Castlevania chronicles, or that computer game it was an enhanced port of? I think that was a reimagining of Castlevania 1, so I'd be surprised if it didn't appear. I think the PS1 game even let you chose different versions of the OST based on the different soundcards
I DID not put the Dracula Battle Perfect Selection, rather than forgot. Essentially I don't count versions coming from the albums when doing these compilations. If I did, then I'd miss a lot of songs for other themes too
I don't know if it's really inspired or if it's just a coincidence, but the Abandoned Castle theme from Curse of Darkness has a part that sounds very similar to a certain part of Heart of Fire. Check it at the 1:50 mark of that song.
the part you're talking about can also be heard in several other songs throughout the series, not just abandoned castle. it's a pretty common motif in the series

Julius Belmont, he's so fucking strong that he just took 2 songs, put them together, and made it his theme
Its sad that konami didnt make julius his own theme i think its disrespectful to julius
I'm still waiting for Julius 1999 where we see tanks n' shit against Dracula for the "final duel"

Julius a chad
Julius mode in Aria is my favorite: no dialogue, walk in, kill everyone, walk out and watch from a nearby cliff while the castle crumbles.
"Nothing you say will stop me, prepare to die!"
Channeled his inner Simon lol
@@OfficerPlormby Just like Simon, he kills dracula twice
The question is, how did the cliff get there? The castle is trapped inside the eclipse, after all.
@Ahmad Adnan Fair enough.
"Oh this is your theme? This is MY theme!"
- Julius "The strongest" Belmont
He’s the strongest character in all of Castlevania, not including God
While it did not originate with him, it was a very wise choice to assign this song to Julius. It's insanely fitting.
True
Very happy to announce that this video is now outdated! 'cause of Vampire Survivors, of all games.
Let's see, we have:
Heart of Fire
Heart of Fire with reverb
Heart of Fire but layered
Don't Wait Until Night

I mean Speaker tried with all its might. Speaker still deserves some respect
Aria of Sorrow has always been my favourite but first time hearing Harmony of Despair and wow what an epic version.
Harmony of Despair is easily in my top 5 Castlevanias and it's such a shame it never caught on.
Yes !! ♥♥♥♥ much hype this both songs ♥♥♥♥
Yeah, and I also think it's the one in Smash Bros. Don't fully remember.

And with Haunted Castle Revisited this needs a reupload with that game’s new version of Heart of Fire/Don’t Wait Until Night!!!
This has to be my favorite song from castlevania just for how it feels like it transports you into the shoes of a belmont trying to vanquish evil
I love how originally, it's kind of tense and then later it sounded like something out of Megaman or a fighting game and I absolutely love it

OCTAGON!
The Commodore 64 version of Don't Wait Until Night almost kicked my ass more than Julius himself.
Actually, it's based on just 'Heart of Fire'.
Aria of sorrow is my favourite but castlevania 1 and haunted castle are simply amazing
I like how Heart of Fire has a part with the Boss Theme from NES Castlevania.

17:45 sounds like it could be in Mega Man X imo
Aria of Sorrow versión is my fav so far!!🎉
While Haunted Castle isn't good, I do like the song is called "Don't Wait Until Night" there and it plays as you assault the castle at daytime
Gonna need to update the list buddy. The Haunted castle revisited one is a banger that must be added
Needs an update with the Haunted Castle Revisited version
2:02 was way ahead of its time.
Girlfriend : Heartbreak 💔
Boyfriend : Heart Of Fire 🔥🔥🔥
hi, did you know that girls have personality traits such as "loving this song"
Wow considering what the SID chip can do, they didn't even try with the C64 version.
The composer of the C64 version, Kris Hatlelid, did a much better job on his earlier works, which is odd.
I had a dream that those skeleton was throwing bones at me lol
X2
Harmony of Despair version is the best IMO.
A.K.A Julius
A real shame...
@@castlevaniamusicforever Why tho?
@@youssefa.2251 I was responding to another comment, which seems to have been deleted.
@@castlevaniamusicforever could you explain what the comment was?
I don't exactly remember it, bpt maybe it was something about the 1999 events and the game that could have covered it that never came out.
I'm not sure why they felt the need to copy the boss song from Fester's Quest for the later "versions"
So Julius plays like Richter and sounds like Simon 🤔
I am confused as to how heart of fire and don't wait until night are connected, but both songs bang none the less
nevermind the aria version is a mashup, my bad

So, curious:
Are you going to update this to include "Can't Wait Until Night" from Smash Ultimate?
It's already in: the version from Harmony of Despair is the same one that's in smash
Q nostalgia essa música ....fica escutando meu irmão e minha vizinha jogando na casa dela ...mais eles não deixam eu entrar para olhar
I think this fits more Simon than Julius
It would be cool to hear all of these shifted an octave down. Evry thing is better down tuned in general
