Can we just take a sec to appreciate how... pleasant Dracula is in this game? He's usually so angry and brooding, but in this game, he's just like, "I'm glad you made it this far! Wanna fight, bro?"
The sorta iffy lipsyncing makes me thing that its a case of a poorly dubbed over English voice instead of the original Japanese dub which very likely was much more dramatic and fitting of Dracula. The craziest thing though is that this is a *2009* game, so a case like that at that point is ridiculosu to think about lol
@ArcadeStriker tbh its not even that. It's really the delivery. I'm used to Dracula having an firmer, menacing, delivery. This delivery is just very... chill? It's kinda delivered in a cocky "this fight is beneath me", sort of way. It's kind of an interesting take on the character now that I think about it.
Damn I never thought this would actually be playable. I thought it'd be lost to time like the prototype of Resurrection, but Castlevania fans can find anything it seems lol
Judging from the gameplay this could have theoretically worked on the wii or even the ps3 and Xbox 360. Gotta say though the soundtrack is overall a banger
Holy shit! I randomly searched for this again and I'm so happy that now we have direct feed footage of this game. I thought this was something that would get lost in time so I'm so incredibly happy!
Excellent Gameplay, I've never seen this Castlevania arcade game before with its unique LED light-whip motion controller!!! I think Konami could have ported this over to the Wii or Wii U consoles?
No one knows the identity of the Vampire Hunter, but I've assumed him to be Simon Belmont, because the events of Arcade Akumajou Dracula mirror the events of Simon-featured titles such as Cv1, Haunted Castle and SCv4 from which also many music tracks come from. He looks more like young Julius Belmont, though.
I've just got this error [01:28:52] Cannot read memory at address 0x0072508C [01:28:52] Cannot read memory at address 0x00725090 after pressing P1 or P2 start button. Any clues how to fix it?
Was just thinking how this game got the theme and tone of Castlevania so right at a time when all the games being made completely missed that theme and tone for anime drama and fantasy instead. Then I watched the credits and saw that besides an "and IGA" credit Igarashi had nothing to do with this game. So that tracks...
I didn't try player 2 sorry, but i've read that it can work. Check out Emuline, there's a thread on there about it, you might be able to get help there.
Probably a Dollar; per Credit... Though based on a previous showcase I saw lots of the Mini-Bosses and Bosses have Highly Technical Windows required for Parries and Counters in order to avoid Damage. Thus leading to many Game Overs.

Based dracula takes a minute to apologize for his minions

I dont think there actually IS a Japanese dub for this game, the language settings only seem to change the text. It just is what it is.@@ArcadeStriker

Terrible casting ...

It would have been prime for the Wii, that console literally had the controller this game uses!
I just want to say thanks. I honestly never thought I would get a chance to see this game🤘
This made me want a souls-like castlevania game.
Man, Konami as a missed opportunity to put in the west.
I know, right?
I wonder if the franchise as a whole is more popular in the West than in the East?
@@knightofarkronia9968 By east I take it you mean Japan. As the franchise is barely known outside of Japan in Asia.
This is fucking unreal, I never thought I would see these visuals so clearly.
It does look really good at 4k!
Thank you so much for uploading this!
I have played this in an arcade. good times.
Holy shit! I randomly searched for this again and I'm so happy that now we have direct feed footage of this game. I thought this was something that would get lost in time so I'm so incredibly happy!
The game was dumped and you can play it yourself now! So it’s been “preserved”, so to speak.

It'd be nice to have this confirmed, if only for the huge nerds like me who care to have details confirmed or expanded on.
Great Game thanks for releasing it 👍🏻
I didn't release it, i just made a video of it! All credits to other people who preserved this one!
Someone needs to vr mod this or rebuild it for the Wii cause I never thought I see the day this be completely found
Yeah, give the bosses attacks that take off 80% of your health per hit, that's super fair. :P
I’m still pissed they never ported this on PlayStation Move nor Nintendo Switch. I bought a Wii for Judgment. I would of bought a Move for this.
Or VR.
I've just got this error

I didn’t know this existed😲😲😲
It hadn't been dumped until very recently, it was known that it existed, there was videos of the machines etc. It's a really cool game.
A CASTLEVANIA 3D collection:
Arcade,PS2,N64 AND Wii
Commenting this after only watching the first level, but the soundtrack in this game is BALLA!
Problem in game, black screen when iam
Start level? No picture why?
thanks for sharing, does 2 player work for you? The 2nd player controls Player 1
I didn't try player 2 sorry, but i've read that it can work. Check out Emuline, there's a thread on there about it, you might be able to get help there.
Is there a link to the latest build that works available? I seen a discord , but not much available as old files and no help setting up
Kinda cool
😱OH 🤩wow 😍👍🏻💖
How did you fix the graphcal glitch at the final boss?
I hear there is a 4g patch for this game..
@@garystinten9339 where do I get it and how to use it? It will be really nice of you if you know if you don't it's fine
@@Mody_emad601 I was told to google for it.. but I can take a peak
What controllers are people using to play with?
I'd imagine Wiimotes and PS Move controllers are prime candidates for this game.
The game keeps crashing during stage 4.
hi how did you get the sound to work? thanks
Check that
ruclips.net/video/2eCKgaNBios/видео.html
@@arcadestuff How did you? wont let me check the video
@@RaWr0wKeY Try it now.
Sooooo how do i get this???
Given the size of this game, it was probably what...2 dollars to play? So im guessing about 8 to 10 bucks to beat it back in the day.
Probably a Dollar; per Credit... Though based on a previous showcase I saw lots of the Mini-Bosses and Bosses have Highly Technical Windows required for Parries and Counters in order to avoid Damage. Thus leading to many Game Overs.
is teknoparrot can emulate this?
Jconfig can, for free.
This should be on wii
too bad they couldnt even animate a whipuse in this game. looks nice but not overwhelming, the music is lit
Well it was translated to English from Japanese.. so maybe it would be better to speak to a rom hacker who might implement that into a hacked rom.??
