    This video was supposed to include Castlevania Judgment's version of Vampire Killer as the last song, but it exceeded the 10 minute time limit. Thank UA-cam for that.
    FOR PART 2 OF THE VAMPIRE KILLER COLLECTION CLICK THIS LINK OR THE VIDEO RESPONSE: • Castlevania Music: VAM...
    Just in case you are wondering, the game for Sega Saturn called Akumajo Dracula X: Gekka no Yasoukyoku - Nocturne in the Moonlight is actually the original Japanese name for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The Saturn version had a slightly bigger map and some more tracks than the Playstation version we are all familiar with.
    THESE TRACKS DO NOT BELONG TO ME.

    Vampire killer facts corrections: the vampire killer started out as the whip of alchemy made by Rinaldo Gandolfi to slay his Vampire daughter after he used it he gave it too Leon Belmont as he thought it would be more of a use to him (play Lament of innocence to get this) when Leon encountered his wife who was now turned into a vampire by Walter she let Leon slay her and let her become one with the whip and since she was a vampire the soul of the vampire in the whip made it extremely effective against any undead even death for this it was called the vampire killer also the whip can turn into a chain whip and fire whip since it was originally the magical whip of Alchemy

    @RubilacEx In Japan, Castlevania was released first on the Famicom Disk System (the floppy disk add-on for the Famicom) in Japan on Sept. 1986. Vampire Killer MSX was released a month later.
    Castlevania has been (and always was) an NES-bred franchise from the start.

I get all pumped up when I hear this song, I blast it at red lights and just rock out. Each version just takes me back to when I played that game, so they're all pretty cool in their own way. I can't say which I like the best.

  • @Anakunus
    @Anakunus 11 років тому

    Curses! I was going to make such a video myself until I found this. Good collection overall, however, there is missing a couple versions from it, namely Vampire Killer from MS DOS and Amiga ports of Castlevania, as well as the two Roland synthesizer versions from Akumajoo Dracula for Sharp X68000. In addition, with some of the versions, the loop was cut before it was over, which is a pity.
    Hm... Perhaps I will make my own version after all.
