I know right! I've seen my SNES games, and there's something creepy about them. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it's the way the sprites move that is kind of uncanny to me?

+Andrey Kusanagi and if you see closely you can see Dr Frankenstein (i presume) dead at the table. The boss battle background tells a story and thats pretty neat.
This game takes a lot of fuckin patience and memorization. Shit can kill you real quick. This guy makes it look easy, but that's literally how good to a certain degree you have to play these stages to beat the game.
According to emulator, there are two version of this. Version K and M I remember. One of them is extremely hard which is I guess what this guy was playing. One hit from skeleton can drain almost all your life bar. Other version is much easier than that. Can't say that makes the game easy, though.
@@JohnnyCasey This isn't the hard version he is playing, he took many hits against the Golem boss and survived. Version M would've eaten him alive before he took the 4 hits.
+TheReivenlocke Yup, 19th century tuxedos and bride dress, pre-Medieval leather armors and egyptian mummies inside christian coffins...perfectly historically and cultural Located XDDDDD.
I was about to write the same thing but I suspected someone else already mentioned it. He seems to be holding his cramping belly while walking hunched with a pair of tightly clenched buttocks. And there seem to especially be some hurry going upstairs as if he's desperately hoping there will be a men's room located there.
Julius theme? You mean what iga took and made Julius theme. The song existed forever and he combined this song with out of time from cv1 and boom Julius theme. Don’t get me wrong, I love Julius. But the theme was born decades before he even was dreamed off.
@@maclovio9015 Heart Of Fire (grim reaper stage) from Castlevania 1 NES + Don't wait until Night ( stage 6) from Haunted castle= Don't wait until Night/Heart Of Fire (Aria of sorrow and Harmony o despair version) I mean this theme is not combine with out of time (Castlevania 1). This theme combined with Heart Of Fire grim reaper stage from Castlevania 1.
Dracula - You might have defeated my first form but now, I'm serious *His head is gigantic **Belmont just whip the shit out of his head Dracula -damn, why I made my head a bigger target?
@@99jean88 i know this is 5 year old comment but. Dracula: what's better than a giant head. FOUR GIANT HEADS! also you cant hurt me anymore unless you hit my floating orb.
This game is actually very playable if you go into the dip-switches and turn the difficulty down to it's easiest settings. It's still difficult because you only have 4 lives to beat the game with, but it's doable. This guy is playing on the hardest settings where many enemies take away half your lifebar. On the easiest settings, everything only does 1 damage to you, so the traps aren't quite as big a deal. And this game is worth playing just for it's amazing music alone!
Playable compared to Ghosts n goblins maybe lol. I am playing this on the Anniversary collection on low damage and easy and I am being hit for 1 to 3 bars of damage each time. And if I die and continue there seems to be even more enemies making me die again pretty quick. The graphics and music are great but I can't seem to enjoy this one. I much prefer the console releases. This one feels too cheap and unfair especially when you see an amazing run like this with so few enemies on certain stretches.
Literally. The difficulty doesn't matter. The game have a lot of versions. 2 JP (N and P) and 2 US (M and K) (That one unfair: M) and One EU (E). In few words: The US M version is the one that every enemy and boss take away half your life bar and The US K version is the one that every enemy does one damage to you (like JP and EU versions). For more details check my comment that i explained the version differences and the health increase trick. P.S.: The difficulty doesn't matter.
Oh sure, the sudden storm and the _lightning blowing up the cross off the church_ doesn't set off warning bells in Simon's head, it's Dracula dorkily flying in to swoop his newly-wedded wife up that causes him to strut across Transylvania for the next gas stop.
Stage 3 gotta love the "Bloody Tears" soundtrack. That has been my favorite track in all the Castlevania games I played. Easily recognized that right away. Never knew it was in here
Bruno Castelar Julius theme is the combination of "Don't Wait Until Night" and "Heart of Fire". "Cross your heart" is the song from Stage 1 of the video here.
Poor Simon. Humanity expects him to fight the forces of darkness and the Prince of Darkness, Dracula, himself... all while suffering from a gnarly case of hemorrhoids .
I wonder how Dr. Frankenstein died? He's just sitting at the table slumped over in his chair and the monster is chained to the wall..so he couldn't have been killed by it.
The opening fairly comes across as: "Oooo, a wedding buffet and happy meals on legs! My, I am being spoiled. Don't mind me, just grabbing myself some food, nice suit by the way. Ta ta, great service!
Awesome! How had I forgotten about this little gem. My grandparents had a caravan on the east coast of England in the 80s n 90s, and the camp shop had an added on arcade. I remember them having this arcade machine for one whole season and I played it every day we was there during the half terms and summer holiday. I probably enjoyed this as much as I did playing double dragon and golden axe. Wow! The memories.
14:31 Ok, so basically in this part you have to outrun the bridge that crumbles behind you, at the same speed of Simon, while attacking enemies that come your way. If you get hit, you lose ground, but if you attack you also lose ground... You can say this is a test of parsimony where you have to spare your offense and may take some trial and error to get it right. But notice how this dude did almost everything right and still got away in thin ice, AND that this is an (originally) arcade game and I can deem this design as pure evil.
No, if you get hit you don't lose ground but you will eventually run out of health, which can be replenished with quarters, i believe the main drive in designing this game was to take as many quarters as possible from the players, which made it an extremely unfair game.
Philip Clay Uh...that IS Simon. 8 games tell the story about Simon facing Dracula. This is one of them...in an alternate continuity where Simon DOES have blue hair...and a bride.
Stage 1's music was remixed for Portrait of Ruin, Stage 5's music was remixed for Dawn of Sorrow, the last stage's music became Julius' theme in Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Despair :D
i beat this game, it's actually pretty fun just requires practice, good heart management, and the stopwatch. it's also critical to use your credits to go into "tank mode,' boosting your health way up. this is preferable to having the extra lives in stead. also, having extra hearts at the end of a level boosts your health.
"Hey, Dracula took my wife! I'mma dress like a barbarian to save her!" Right when he embarks to the castle. "Where's the bathroom when you need it? I can hold it." I'm joking of course lol
Lol yeah, I still find myself liking this game as a whole though despite how weird it is. It has awesome music, cool levels and good graphics for the time.
The game doesn't seem that hard watching the walkthrough, especially Dracula at the end...but I will say that playing this at the arcade back in the day was pure frustration. There was no UA-cam walkthrough to know how to approach it. lol.
@@ubermenschmexa Not stolen, it was combined and remixed with Castlevania 1's Heart of Fire to make a great ass theme. And a pretty cool refrence to Haunted Castle.
Thinking about the kids today who thinks that Dark Souls is hard they have no freaking idea what hard means Anyway good job beating this played this first time myself earlier today I could not even get passed the first stage due to all the enemies bieng so freaking overpowered and all the cheap unpredictable traps
Like all arcade games it was, of course, designed to be extremely cheap to gobble as many quarters as possible. Most of these sort of games are more on the cheap side than on the challenge one. And let's not forget Konami loves all them quarters.
Stage 1: "And the world record for quickest death in a starting level goes to..." Stage 2: "What the fuck are these visuals!?" Stage 3: "Hey, a kickass remix of Bloody Tears- goddamn these fleamen!" Stage 4: "If there was any doubt remaining that this game's design was slapdashed together..." Stage 5: "It's Clocktower's Beat! Not Basement Melodies!" Stage 6: "How long is this bridge!? And why is Dracula throwing out knives from his crotch?"
Wow. Never knew there was an arcade castlevania game? Im going to see if i can find more. I beat most of the hard nes games and now im trying my hand at old arcade games... And im getting my ass kicked. Im trying to beat games on one coin. Ive been working on willow for about a month now. I respect the effort you put into mastering this game
I played this in Konami Arcade Collection on Switch. The Western version was impossible to beat, but the Japanese version was much more playable! Also, why does Simon look like he’s got a hip cramp? I know he’s simply carrying his weapon, but still.
11:18 When I heard that song I knew it sounded familiar, but I couldn't really figure out where I've heard it. But then I figured it out that it's the same song from the Mine of Judgement in Dawn of Sorrow. 😁👍

There's something about older sprite art and sound effects that make these games all the more creepy.
especially in arcade games which were always so much more detailed than the home ports.
Splatterhouse is another example.
I know right! I've seen my SNES games, and there's something creepy about them. I can't put my finger on it, maybe it's the way the sprites move that is kind of uncanny to me?
Leone Kaiser It’s the screams. Definitely. Also the zombies actually bleed in this game so that’s another point on the creepy list
This game color palette its atrocious

If it weren't for the insane difficulty and limited continues, I'd say this is an underrated arcade classic.
and now our brave hero goes off to take the massive shit he was obviously trying to hold in so desperately with that funny little strut.
Liam Byrne moral of the story: Don't eat too much wedding cake before an adventure.
7:02 Literal Bloody Tears.

I noticed that. The worse thing is that I think they were pretty clever doing this...

Not to mention you need to jump BEFORE the bats even appear. So you have to just know.
No, if you get hit you don't lose ground but you will eventually run out of health, which can be replenished with quarters, i believe the main drive in designing this game was to take as many quarters as possible from the players, which made it an extremely unfair game.

Yeah! Really COOL!
Why are the final bosses so easy? Speaking of, who else watched till the end, lol.
They're "easy" because he's powered up. Try fighting them using only the standard whip.
Play it, and cry
this game was hard as hell. you're a boss
That soundtrack kicks ass. Besides Bloody Tears, obviously, the track at the bridge level is amazing. The sound effects are great too.
The way Simon walks you'd think he was constipated. :P
you know what he is going to do after beating dracula right?
Philip Clay Uh...that IS Simon. 8 games tell the story about Simon facing Dracula. This is one of them...in an alternate continuity where Simon DOES have blue hair...and a bride.
I guess he got sick of ice skating.
Maybe its because he grabs vampire killer on his waist

Stage 3: "Hey, a kickass remix of Bloody Tears- goddamn these fleamen!"
Stage 4: "If there was any doubt remaining that this game's design was slapdashed together..."
Stage 5: "It's Clocktower's Beat! Not Basement Melodies!"
Stage 6: "How long is this bridge!? And why is Dracula throwing out knives from his crotch?"
Wow. Never knew there was an arcade castlevania game? Im going to see if i can find more. I beat most of the hard nes games and now im trying my hand at old arcade games... And im getting my ass kicked. Im trying to beat games on one coin. Ive been working on willow for about a month now. I respect the effort you put into mastering this game
Stone Golem in 4th stage is the hardest boss.
The item that stops the time is enough to make every boss easy. I loved this game when a was a teenager.
Amazing how with just a wise use of colors you can make a game on a vastly inferior console look much better than it's arcade counterpart.
that stage 6 music is amazing
dont wait until night
i have 0 clue how anyone ever beat this game let alone do a no death run of it, you are a gaming god
I played this in Konami Arcade Collection on Switch. The Western version was impossible to beat, but the Japanese version was much more playable!
Also, why does Simon look like he’s got a hip cramp? I know he’s simply carrying his weapon, but still.
Version M is the most difficult. Versions E and K are easier. Same goes with the Japanese versions N and P.
Whoa, this soundtrack is outstanding! So Castlevania *chef's kiss*
that intro made me laugh so hard, then after I was done, I couldn't help but think that simon had to take a #2 asap XD
11:18 When I heard that song I knew it sounded familiar, but I couldn't really figure out where I've heard it. But then I figured it out that it's the same song from the Mine of Judgement in Dawn of Sorrow. 😁👍
13:08 dat scream
Exactly like how my gf screams.
13:09
Thank you for this video because I love Castlevania and I've tried to play this game a hundred times and it's so got awful I can't do it.
Gonna have back problems if he keeps walking with that posture
This version was so notorious they ported the Nintendo version under the "Nintendo Vs." line of arcades which were just modified NES consoles.
