Hey, James. You should do Clock Tower the next year with the upcoming remaster this month. It was an SNES game that didn't release outside of Japan back in the day but it's a classic that took inspiration of Phenomena (1985).
Funny thing about the game over screen is that it changes once you've died eight times. If she has fangs like she did on the screen you showed, you're too late to save her and you'll get the bad ending. Before that she'll look like she does on the option screen.
Simon Belmot: Yes, I'll need this sacred whip, holy water, knives, axes and this cross that flies like a boomerang. The guy in this game: Catch these hands, son!
Can you imagine dracula’s minions coming to him to explain how a random dude came into their castle- no weapons, no backup- and just started handing out Ls left and right
You know, if I were Dracula looking down from the castle, and I saw this guy barefist brawl a werewolf with a knife, I would probably decid it's easier to just find another woman.
Plot twist: Dracula never wanted the guy's girlfriend. After hundreds of years of immortality he just wanted to bare knuckle fight a worthy adversary to the death.
Imagine you're Dracula. You kidnap a girl, take her back to your castle, and look out to see her boyfriend riding up to your gates completely unarmed. You pre-emptively celebrate while siccing your army of minions on the helpless fool. Then you witness him beat the tar out of all of them with his bare hands. Then when he gets to you, and the boss music starts, his HP bar is bigger. It is at that moment that you come to a realization: you are not the final boss. He is.
Now, to be totally fair: Seta didn't actually make Wizard of Oz, they only published it. That one was made by a dev called Manley and Associates. Nosferatu, however, was both developed and published by Seta themselves.
One thing the developers really nailed down is the aesthetics, boss backgrounds specially look absolutely gorgeous. I really wanted to like this game but I went through the three phases over and over again until I gave up.
in defense of the game over screen, it has a sense of melancholy. the story is that the dude is going to rescue his girlfriend from dracu...nosferatu. but you died and she was never saved. so now all thats left of either of you is the last photo you took together. maybe it would've been more obvious if the photo was attached to a "missing" sign or something. but anyway, i actually really like it.
Actually the game over screen is scary for a different reason. Her Teeth are Hidious! If I had a girlfriend with a mouth like that, I don't think I would barefist my way through hordes of undead to save her.
I find it sad that the Nerd did not finished the game to see the ending, because: If you die too often, and according to him you WILL die too often, the girlfried on the picture in the game over screen will develop fangs, and then the game ends with the boyfriend comming too late, and the girlfriend is now a vampire. Spooky!
I think having a benign photograph as a game over or victory screen amps up the creep factor, House of the Dead has the same concept with photo of the research team you're supposed to rescue, and even that changes when you're getting the bad ending.
I kind of doubt it. One, their names(Kyle and Errin) are a lot more modern. And two, his clothes scream 1980's/90's. But you are right, it's to let you know you died too many times, so you get the bad ending.
As a romanian myself, I never thought of that. 'Nosferatu' is derived from the romanian word 'nesuferit, nesuferitul(articulated)' (insufferable person).Huh
With the game over screen maybe it’s just the limited graphics, but it looks like the girlfriend has fangs. Like Dracula turned your girlfriend into a vampire and dude didn’t notice until she decides to take a bite out of him. I could be wrong but at least that would give the game over screen a little more gravitas.
Whoisthisgit made a video on this game citing that detail. Basically if you die too many times, she has the fangs and bites you in the last cutscenes of the game, earning you the bad ending. But if you can beat the game below a death threshold, she won't have the fangs
I'm to understand that's the case, depending on how many tries it takes to beat the game. If you beat the game sooner, I think she's remains normal. At least according to a video I saw about the ending
That's what actually happens in the bad ending, in the Japanese version. If you continue 8 times before beating the game, she gets turned, then bites you.
@@jonathanrobles7377 That's honestly a really cool feature! And knowing myself and a few other gamers, we'd be too stubborn to give up until we got both endings. It's not determination though, it'd be pure spite that fueled us.
@@Xarfax321 Those approaches are also viable, though Guts mostly used various huge swords, then crossbows and occasionally a small cannon (and it was all really awesome).
As soon as he said you only punch because you ran out of ammo, I started thinking of the hardest game mode and how you punch in order to conserve ammo because it's scarce.
Incredibly fitting how he drops an episode about a vampire game at 11pm in October. Not just Halloween season, but it’s already nice and dark out, perfect for a vampire
*Oh man he's going to get the bad ending, he's going to get the bad ending, he's highlighting the photograph he's going to get the bad ending!* .......... you blue-balled me, nerd.
11:25 The same kind of thing happens in Zombies Ate My Neighbors, another horror themed SNES game but that game is actually amazing. However you can avoid the damage when you open things if you're careful about it, but in this game it looks like taking a hit is unavoidable.
@@Cyberbrickmaster1986He's a movie producer who worked on the 1995 dracula movie along with a bunch of other notable movies his Wikipedia page mentions AVGN lol
Guy riding a horse in 1990 makes some sort of sense. Maybe castle is in a remote place where gas stations aren't common, and, although he is more than willing punching Nosferatu into ashes, he isn't willing pulling a car without fuel around.
There’s a thing called gas tanks. Dude could’ve just stockpiled some in preparation for this whole rescue, but maybe the road to drac’s castle is unpaved, uneven terrain, so perhaps a horse still makes some sense to a degree.
I got to thinking primarily about Phantom Blood, because Jonathan mostly does unarmed combat (even if charging his strikes with hamon). Joseph uses various weapons comparatively often in Battle Tendency, and in Stardust Crusaders almost everyone is using stands, which are sometimes basically weapons.

@@Rob_Thorsman Why would you though? That just generates confusion. Imagine if Doom and Centipede were both just "shooting games".

7:03 is it just me or does his girlfriend in the photo look like a vampire herself? I think the real plot is she got sick of dating a human and left him for Nosferatu. Now he has a bloodlust for vampires.
It's not just you. She gets turned if you take too long to save her, or if you die too many times (I think) and the game over picture reflects that. So if she's got fangs in the picture, prepare for the bad ending. 😅 It's very Prince of Persia in that way, too.
@@abduljabars Oh, sidenote to my response above; if you want to see the bad ending to this, check out WhoIsThisGit. He covers a bunch of gaming stuff, especially bad endings for games, and he has a video on the bad ending for Nosferatu.

She does if you Continue 8 times before you beat the game, at which point she's been turned. She bites you to turn you at the end if you keep going and finish the game without completely starting over (or presumably starting with the level select which I assume starts from 0 continues).
@@KamyKam It’s an incredibly small detail but once you die 8 times the girl in the picture will have her mouth changed from normal to having fangs, meaning she was bitten by Dracula offscreen and even if you reach the end she will bite you and cause you to reach the bad ending.
Did this guy have NO friends? Even an acquaintence to say "Hey, at least take a stick or something with you" Nope, this dude just DECIDES to go "handle" Castlevania with just his "Dukes". Now THAT is SNES-foratu levels of BADASSERY!
My son(11) and i have been watching AVGN for 5 years. Yes, he was 6 when he started watched this foul mouthed SOAB! LOL. Every Friday we pick up and XL cheese pizza and watch AVGN. It's our thing and we re-watch old ones when new ones aren't available. It's our weekly tradition and the highlight of our week/month. We appreciate what you do Nerd. Love your videos dude.
Thank you James. For the last 18 years you haven't missed a Halloween or Christmas, while also always doing Monster Madness on some level on top of other projects and its a tradition that I have never taken for granted. The Original, the Godfather of UA-cam and my favorite content creator. Here's to hopefully many more years to come! Again I wanted to say thank you sir!
I heard of this from the Nintendo Power article on it, and nowhere else. Nobody else has ever spoken of this game to me, until AVGN suddenly dropped this vid
6:20(ish) - while its not "Game-like", to be absolutely unarmed and unable to find any weapons on-site, its also quite Realistic... in Castlevania, why would DRACULA, of all people, store Crosses, Silver Daggers, or Holy Water in his own castle's candles? imagine if you flipped a switch in your house, but instead of turning the light on, itd make poisonous gas seep out of the AC vents...and dont get me started on how a full-bird rotisserie-style chicken can supposedly stay fresh after countless years inside of a wall...
Fun fact that the game's cover art was drawn by Jun Suemi known for drawing artworks on Wizardry games, specifically the earlier console ports and even the recent Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord remake (though only did the special keyart but least credited as special thanks).
We can never take for granted the AVGN. He's still the best on UA-cam after over a decade. The guy is still absolutely hilarious and still getting better.
7:45 game over screen represented she bit and enbraced him. She has Vampire teeth and many years passed. Just me though. Nvm it's also in the options menu 💀
Im neil degrase tyson And to convert eggs into Nosferatus youd have to divide an average Nosferatu (50,000g) by the average egg of 55g which would be approximately 909,091. Therefore you would have to eat nearly 1 million eggs to eat the equivalent of one Nosferatu, thats alot of eggs! You just got scienced
my name is Neil deGrasse tyson and Pigs live in the woods, If you pack pigs in the woods like sardines With no space inbetween pigs, assuming the average square foot of a pig is 4.5x2.5x3 and the woods is one square mile then you can fit 13,775,111 pigs in the woods. Or alternatively 30,968,000 Nosferatus, thats alot of pigs and Nosferatus!

So, the game wants you to beat it before you die 8 times with the controls that janky?
And here i was wondering, if her fangs on the photo have some meaning, since huge pixels are quite noticeable

When you realize what’s actually happening in the gameover screen it becomes a whole different level of creepy.
I found it creepy just looking at it, especially the music. But what's going on exactly?
@@KamyKam It’s an incredibly small detail but once you die 8 times the girl in the picture will have her mouth changed from normal to having fangs, meaning she was bitten by Dracula offscreen and even if you reach the end she will bite you and cause you to reach the bad ending.
@@Ecua73 Would the girl be even visible on the photo?
@@Ecua73it probably just bad drawing, right?(Shaking)
@@Ecua73I thought I saw fangs
Nothing beats a new Nerd episode.
What about 2 new nerd episodes? 😮
@@jesickaaddams7199 Has such a fabled thing ever happened before!? 😉😉
except an old nerd episode
Except the dude from this game, he seemingly beats everything
I was still surprised tbh that he is still doing new ones
5:45 "To just go up to that thing and punch it?"
"You must be the Belmont." (Castlevania Netflix)
Confusion..... Chance... ..Fatigue......you just described my feelings trying to play Soulslike and Roguelite games.
In Soulslike games, you have the online option to ask for help. Difficulty radically drops when other people join and help you.
Did this guy have NO friends? Even an acquaintence to say "Hey, at least take a stick or something with you" Nope, this dude just DECIDES to go "handle" Castlevania with just his "Dukes". Now THAT is SNES-foratu levels of BADASSERY!
I imagine someone did tell him about the wooden stake and his comeback was "What if I just rip his heart out with my bare hands?"
@@taragnor Close but I think THIS character would just punch the heart right out of him, lol.
his friend was probbaly jackyl who told him sticks are useless
No mutant, no weapons, just bad assery.
"Where we're going , we don't need weapons." -Nosferatu Guy.
"You must be the Belmont..." - Dracula
Avgn for before bedtime. Legendary
I was having a really rough week of depression and this video made me laugh out loud. Thanks AVGN. The three phases were so funny
Sorry to hear that mate, I hope things improve and you have a great end to the year - and remember, be kind to yourself! 😊
@@TomNoles007 thanks Tom
earliest i've ever been to an avgn video
Same
Same man same
yeaa
Yep!
Grats bruv
I remember playing Nosferatu on the SNES when I was a kid it's a very hard game to beat.
I never even heard of it
My son(11) and i have been watching AVGN for 5 years. Yes, he was 6 when he started watched this foul mouthed SOAB! LOL.
Every Friday we pick up and XL cheese pizza and watch AVGN. It's our thing and we re-watch old ones when new ones aren't available.
It's our weekly tradition and the highlight of our week/month. We appreciate what you do Nerd.
Love your videos dude.
Theres another Nosferatu game called Nosferatu Wrath of Malachi. It's one of the jankiest games you can get your hands on
And still, miles better than this piece of sheit.
Civvie11 did a great playthrough of it.
The Jank of two thousand and three years!
Jesus lord, that game over screen is depressingly terrifying.
Go and get laid then
Very uncanny valley 😨
😰😰😰😰😰😰
Very Creepy as well
"Deh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh-eh!" 🎶
- The theme of Nosferatu, the SNES game.
Okay, I was wondering about the Christmas release date too! What an odd date to release a monster movie like Nosferatu!
Thank you James. For the last 18 years you haven't missed a Halloween or Christmas, while also always doing Monster Madness on some level on top of other projects and its a tradition that I have never taken for granted. The Original, the Godfather of UA-cam and my favorite content creator. Here's to hopefully many more years to come! Again I wanted to say thank you sir!
Now I'm imagining Nosferatu going up against the Hash Slinging Slasher.
The silhouette of the Nerd on the wall made me laugh out loud. XD
It did???
@@michaeltansey4717 It's a reference to some iconic shots of the original movie. You can laugh at worse things.
I had a buddy in grade 5 who played this in front of me once. I haven’t seen it since. Thanks for the memories!
7:32 - Well... I suppose horses still exist in 1990!
He's wearing a hoodie!! 😂
I heard of this from the Nintendo Power article on it, and nowhere else. Nobody else has ever spoken of this game to me, until AVGN suddenly dropped this vid
I do like when James writes it and does the gameplay.
So close to Halloween i was getting worried there was no special 😅
I like that in both AVGN and James and Mike Mondays, they go from loving the game to hating it at the end. XD
16:00 instant classic nerd moment. Whenever James sings the game songs this way I lose it 😂
[cracks a rolling rock]
Don't you just love it when you're rewatching some old Halloween Nerd episodes and then a new one comes out instantly after. Because I sure do.
Great episode, Nerd! Loved it! But one thing...BRING BACK THE KYLE JUSTIN VERSION OF YOUR SONG!
6:20(ish) - while its not "Game-like", to be absolutely unarmed and unable to find any weapons on-site, its also quite Realistic...
in Castlevania, why would DRACULA, of all people, store Crosses, Silver Daggers, or Holy Water in his own castle's candles? imagine if you flipped a switch in your house, but instead of turning the light on, itd make poisonous gas seep out of the AC vents...and dont get me started on how a full-bird rotisserie-style chicken can supposedly stay fresh after countless years inside of a wall...
you don't store caches of weapons in every room of your house?
Maybe someone else did it. Or it just spawns there for unknown reasons.
Fun fact that the game's cover art was drawn by Jun Suemi known for drawing artworks on Wizardry games, specifically the earlier console ports and even the recent Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord remake (though only did the special keyart but least credited as special thanks).
My favourite artist 👍
I remember learning about this game in an AVGN video and now so many years later, here we are.
One of my favourite vampire games. You forgot to mention the rising Moon Werewolf Boss feature which is pretty awesome.
Nosferatu is my favorite silent film.
Watch The Passion of Joan of Arc and Haxen.
i see.
Mine is Metropolis
Anything from Chaplin for me. "The Kid", "Modern Times", "The Gold Rush", "City Lights"
..Murnau's Nosferatu is classic too, though.
We can never take for granted the AVGN. He's still the best on UA-cam after over a decade. The guy is still absolutely hilarious and still getting better.
7:45 game over screen represented she bit and enbraced him. She has Vampire teeth and many years passed. Just me though.
Nvm it's also in the options menu 💀
Man, I needed a nostalgic video like this to forget the world to tonight. Thank you.
Im neil degrase tyson And to convert eggs into Nosferatus youd have to divide an average Nosferatu (50,000g) by the average egg of 55g which would be approximately 909,091. Therefore you would have to eat nearly 1 million eggs to eat the equivalent of one Nosferatu, thats alot of eggs! You just got scienced
my name is Neil deGrasse tyson and Pigs live in the woods, If you pack pigs in the woods like sardines With no space inbetween pigs, assuming the average square foot of a pig is 4.5x2.5x3 and the woods is one square mile then you can fit 13,775,111 pigs in the woods. Or alternatively 30,968,000 Nosferatus, thats alot of pigs and Nosferatus!
The futon is back
Really been watching for 20 years.
James has changed a lot but the comfort hasn't.
