  • Castlevania NES (Enhanced Graphics Hack) Playthrough (No Death). Played by ArekTheAbsolute. This is a graphics overhaul of the first Castlevania game made by KYA for 30th anniversary of NES CV release. The graphics are mostly transferred from the game’s mobile phone version. The missing tiles are taken from Vampire Killer, Castlevania Bloodlines, or touched up. Nothing else is changed - the gameplay is left intact.
    Arek: "I did not set any additional challenges for myself during this playthrough so it is just a “No Death”. Made a few mistakes on latter levels (seems I am quite rusty at playing this game) but overall I am satisfied with it. Mostly recorded it to make watchers aware of this patch."

      DaiKaiser 93, Well said, Sir! These graphics really pumped up the game to a 16-bit level, although still below SNes or even Genesis capabilities... But definitely on pair with the earlier 16-bit systems that hit the market back in the day, just like PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16!

    The original Castlevania is just one of those games that gamers will never let go of. Countless remakes and enhancements are always coming out, and I'm very happy to see such a classic constantly revised and resurrected, like Dracula.

    • @azh698
      @azh698 Рік тому +1

      If you want a great Castlevania remake, try out GZDoom, it's a Doom clone based on the original Castlevania with sprites and enemies from the original up to Symphony of the Night.

  • @FLYNN_TAGGART
    @FLYNN_TAGGART 4 роки тому +14

    FYI this isn't a ROM hack, it's an "HD texture pack" meant for emulators. The game itself isn't modified at all. The graphics are taken from the mobile port, with a few tiles from Vampire Killer and Bloodlines.
    That being said, it's a really good looking, even if it isn't running on the NES.

  • @joshmartimez2235

Vampire Killer and Heart of Fire in this game is the best version IMO along with Bloody Tears in CV2....Music Box Vampire killer is only other version I like to listen to

      @LeonomusPrime 7 років тому

      But the graphics "Are enhanced." They are slightly larger, and much more detailed, the text book definition of an enhancement. Just because some people might prefer how the older version looks, doesn't mean this isn't an "enhanced" version.
