Castlevania : Legacy Of Darkness - Nintendo 64 Review - HD 🦇 🩸 🧛‍♂️ 

The N64 king has returned

Good to see you back Glenn. The gold standard for N64 reviews!

Always happy to see you again Glenn! Nobody covers N64 games like you do 🤘

Not only Glenn is back. He reviews one of my favourites

I've always appreciated the second chance we got with Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, it fixed many issues i had the first game, and it's a meaty content rich game, it's just a bummer that Konami didn't have the foresight giving the team the time to work on the title from the very start. I'm saying this because so many of the gaming friends i knew completely ignored Castlevania LoD because of Castlevania 64. It definitely hurted it's reputation.

Welcome back Glenn!, you have been missed! I only ever played Casltevania 64 and because I was not a huge fan of it at the time, I never played this version but with all the changes and updates looks like I may have missed out. Bummer the game is incredibly expensive nowadays, but I will eventually add it to my collection. Excited to see more reviews!

Nice to have you back mate, your videos really scratch that nostalgic itch for me.

My eyes lit up when I saw that you posted a review. I read through the comments before posting, and I, like many others, are so grateful to see you again. Keep up the awesome work. You rock, good sir!

Just as the weather is getting colder and the nights longer, Glenn Plant swoops back in to lighten up our evening! Another superb and comprehensive review, as always

hands down best gaming channel on youtube. the people appreciate your return in this key point!

I agree with the comments below, it's good to know that the #1 in N64 reviews is back. Today is a big day for the fan community, we have been waiting for this return for a while. And it's good to know you're okay, Glenn. Greetings from 🇦🇷

Dude. I discovered your videos years ago and loved them. Glad you’re back! Looking forward to more if it’s in your plans :)

Cornell's wetewolf form has much higher defense and offense. He can also continue running while throwing his main weapon instead of having to stop. Unfortunately, once you turn into it you are stuck that way until you run out of gems (hearts, sub-weapon ammo). After defeating a boss or other enemies that caused you to use it in the first place you usually just stand around waiting for it to ware off as any gems you collect during it will just get wasted. It is invaluable during the final boss of Cornell's campaign though.

Got a flashcart for my N64 (that I had since 97) 2 years ago, tried most of the library, includign a lot of games I never played back in the day. I knew that Castlevania 64 had bad reviews, and they weren't wrong, tried the game and was not very good. But then I tried Legacy of Darkness and was pleased to have found a "hidden gem" the game got better and better, great game.

The legend returns! Great to see you back in action Glenn!

I like how Konami didn't abandon Castlevania on the n64 and tried to fix the issues that the first one had even though i could overlook the issues of the first one especially with the camera issue and the fogging kinda brought a horror feel to it.

Welcome back Glenn. I love Castlevania 64 and the follow-up Legacy of Darkness so this should be entertaining.

Welcome back! i discovered your channel almost 10y ago when i watched your review of Turok 3, this month it will return in hd so it makes it a good return to your videos.

Always a joy to watch these videos from you, Glenn. I’ve bought several N64 games over the past couple of years following watching your many reviews. Thank you, and I hope you’re doing well.

Wow! Welcome back and thanks a lot for everything you've done on this channel!

Welcome back Glenn, we missed you! You were a big inspiration for me to begin collecting and playing n64 games again after many years. I hope that you've been doing well.

Been rewatching a bunch of these reviews the last month as I go down a 64 kick and wondering if you'd ever return for more. Great timing!

So awesome to have back, Glenn! Funny enough I was just looking to see if you'd done a review on legacy of darkness recently to see you hadn't yet...until now! :D

DUDE! You can't just vanish for a year and come back like it's nothing! We're glad you're back though!

Glad to see a new review! You've been greatly missed.

When the world needed him most ... he returned ❤

We missed you!!! Always a pleasure visiting your channel ❤

Always lovely to see a new N64 review from the King, himself! Dropped everything just to watch this with my family and friends and now quite a few of us are going to be revisiting this classic game that I would personally rank as my 3rd favourite Castlevania game, just behind Curse of Darkness and Symphony of the Night, but just above Rondo of Blood and Castlevania 64. Thankyou for the video, we're wishing you all the best from all of us with your current and future projects! : )

Heck yeah man!!!! This is been a review I would love your take on. Glad you’re back my friend.

Now that’s how you do a proper in-depth interview. Glad to see you back in here, and hope all is well!

When the world needed him most!!

Welcome back. It is really great to watch another review video from you.

I actually love this game. Played the version known as 64 a lot with my father when I was young. The gameplay loop and the ambiance is really charming and I'm always looking for games with the same gameplay/vibe. Sadly, there's not enough of them.

Wow! Just a few days after I was checking out some reviews on this channel, Glenn comes back. So he can read our minds too! Glad to see you back!

I'm glad you are back! I definitely want to play this game, but since the Castlevania Netflix show the price has skyrocketed. I remember this game in bargain bins for 10 dollars. Now the price is ridiculous!

Great to see you back Glenn, literally yesterday I searched for a review by you on the Snowboard kids and a few other games.

Yes! I just rewatched all your videos the other week! Thanks for the upload! ❤

Any day a new Glenn Plant vid drops is a GOOD day! Welcome back sir!

Welcome back! Missed ya :) I have to say, tho, you got some things wrong in this. First, you can manipulate the camera with the d-pad as you see fit. Second, Cornell's beast form IS more powerful than his regular form. I would also recommend playing the japanese version, as it has Henry's quest unlocked from the start, rumble pack support and on-cartridge save^^ As for Gilles de Rais, he died in 1440, some 400 years before the game is set. Anyway, this is the real CV64 and there is no need to play the first CV64. It's a good game. Far from perfect, but pretty good.

Good to see you back on the Tube Glenn!!!

He's back!

Glad to see you're back in business. One of my favourite channels, one that inspired me to start my own!

Been looking forward to you coming back! Your reviews have gotten me to buy so many underrated or overlooked n64 gems!

Welcome back! Never played this one, I just remember the mediocre N64 Magazine review of it putting me off. The AVGN's review of it is very amusing though. Who'd have thought these middling old N64 games would have some worth decades on? Hurray! Edit: Ooh this is a tweaked, patched version? Interesting. Didn't even know this existed! Think a similar thing happened with one of the N64 F1 GP games, although I may have made that up.

Glad to see you back, I enjoy your channel! I recently have been getting into the N64 and have been checking out all the obscure games you have covered. It seems like you have basically covered it all at this point. Would love to see your takes on some of the impressive rom hacks that have been coming out lately, like shotgun mario 64, lol.

Ohhh there he is!! Great to see you back and hope those magazine reviews come back too,you left me hanging haha. cheers

Most excellent video Glenn! You made me want to go and buy it now :D I wish Castlevania went more in this direction, maybe a bit more of a 3D MetroidVania, as turning itself into a God of War clone really destroyed the franchise.

Dude! I'm tearing up right now! I missed you! I was hoping you were okay!! Thank you so much for another upload!!

Glad to see you back!

No way!!! I was checking this week to see if your channel had any recent comments regarding the hiatus. Sorry to hear you have not been well, but glad to see another vid from you

I am joinging the Party People that are glad that you released a Video Glenn! I haven't played Legacy of Darkness, but in my Opinion Castlevania 64 is very enjoyable and has a very nice Atmosphere. Guess i have to throw that one into my Everdrive some Day, way to pricey. Edit: BTW doesn't Renon look like Jean Reno :P

Wow, I was one of your first subs back like over 10years ago when you just started (I had another account back then). Just found your channel again, awesome to see how much you grown here on YT. alot of great material to go through!!

Glad to see you back Glenn! Amazing video as always. Will you be doing things like livestreams again?

Welcome back Glenn! When I started to collect hard for the N64 earlier this year, your channel was extremely helpful in helping me choose titles I’ve never got to experience before. Happy to see you’re back and doing better!

Es bueno verte de regreso con esta reseña. Legacy of Darkness es un gran juego aún con sus limitaciones.

So glad to see you back! And definitely go at your own pace and hope that you stay healthy outside of YT. Hope all is going well for ya!

Glad to see you're back and a review for a game I've been on the fence about for years. I might look for a copy of this now.

Wow I was not expecting a Glenn Plant N64 review to pop up in my feed but it’s a great sight to see! You haven’t skipped a beat- great review! Sending well wishes.

Hello Glenn, new subscriber here. I just want to thank you for such great videos. You've got me excited again for the N64. Your channel gives that 90s and early 2000 feel of reading a game magazine back in the day but as if I'm listening to them in audible. I hope I get the chance to be able to discuss in future videos. Keep up the great work.👍

Seeing your name in my subscription feed again just made my day. Welcome back!

Great to see you back. Love your content.

Man, I missed your videos so badly. Welcome back Glenn!!!

All these years later and he is still giving us glorious n64 content.

Spot-on review! I rented Castlevania 64 and then got Legacy of Darkness after it was released. Those clips of that gold mine cart sequence gave me flashbacks because I died so many times in that section because of the stupid sudden camera shift for one of the jumps! I also loved hearing "Art Tower" during your comments on the Henry section; it's one of my favorite music tracks in the entire Castlevania series (along with "Stairway to the Clouds" from the end of the game). Overall, as an N64 owner, I enjoyed LoD quite a bit. Symphony was cool, but seeing Castlevania in 3D was cool, too!

Love C64/LoD. One of my top 3 favorites, along with Rondo of Blood and Bloodlines.

I love that your reviews are just a fun and informative run through of games. Even when giving criticisms you never seem like its to be dramatic or negative. One of the few reviewers who actually seems like you enjoy games 😀

Woa! Glenn is Back!! Yay!

Welcome back bud! Hope all is well. So I was working in Electronics Boutique when Castlevania 64 came out and I personally really enoyed the game. Sure there was some jank, but hey, thisbis video gaming. I got Legacy of Darkness upon release and I didnt know kuch about it being the "definitive" version of the game, so was a little perplex when I got ao far in and things atarted seeming familiar. But as you point out, its still a solid title and has many classic Castlevania moments we all know and love. Certainly doesnt deserve the internet hate it now gets. Great review as always bud.

Awesome seeing a new upload from the n64 master!

Dude whattttt your back?! Please come back fully! Please cover all of N64 and beyond! Your voice and analysis are impeccable we miss you!

Actually there is a reason to play Castlevania 64 as Legacy of Darkness still didn't quite contain the games full vision. Many of the returning locales in Legacy of Darkness are indeed new maps. They were clearly intended to be the same locales, but 8 years after Cornell's quest that should have used the maps out of the first one. The forest level in Legacy of Darkness has some of the same mauseliems as C64, but worn out and busted up. The level with the lava in LoD has the tower section from C64's version sunken into the lava. There are a few other examples as well. I don't doubt that editing all of this together is extremely time consuming but I think you should be a little more thorough when playing these two games. I noticed this pattern of same locales being damaged and worn out versions of C64 levels the very first time I played LoD.

Welcome back Glenn! I've missed you!

Welcome back Glenn

Great review and welcome back, Glenn! It was a nice gift to see my favorite N64 game get reviewed today. This was one of those games I bought at launch back in Dec. 99 and have always enjoyed going back to it over the years - playing through it a number of times with all four characters/using alternate costumes. It definitely offers a lot for those able to stick with it and its atmosphere is topnotch!

The man the myth the legend! I was literally just playing this game & I'm loving it

So happy to see you again Glenn!

These castlevania n64 games were very ambitious for the time.

I literally just shouted out loud "Whaaaaaaaat????" at the sight of a new upload, good to see you back!

Holy shit he’s back!

Glad to see you back mate!

Welcome back !

I sometimes worry about channels not releasing videos in a while, and even though i haven't watched all the videos here, i truly missed a new video, so in this almost 2 years i did check from time to time, and i'm very glad you are back and that you recovered (from what i read in a reply), i had health problems this year but it was something short that comes back from time to time, and that sucks, but hopefully i will finish soon.

Yasssssssss!

I can honestly say I hope you’re actually back. I’ve been watching your stuff for sometime now, but unfortunately I come across your channel after you had left the platform. I really enjoyed the Nintendo 64 content due to the fact that I got into the 64 about a year ago.

Let’s goooooo

Long time no see! Glad to see you make reviews again.

I am so excited that you have returned. I always loved how enthusiastically you talk about these games. Welcome back!

Glad to see you’re back, I’ve been following you for years, hope everything is OK and I hope that everything only improves for you

Welcome back, mate. I guess i can speak for us all when i say it's good to see you again.

Great to have you back!

Yay! He is back! Nice to see you back dude. This past few weeks I have been watching your videos loads.

A new Glenn Plant video, Christmas came early this year!! Glad to see you making new videos. No one does N64 like you!

Dude I was just rewatching you Diddy kong racing streams last night wishing you'd upload. Glad to see you again!

I do prefer classic metroidvania style over mission progression. But that said, I really liked Legacy of Darkness. Even more than Lords of Shadow, that felt way more linear than LoD and was trying too hard to be serious (maybe that's just nostalgia talking). The camera definitely was weird but I don't think the developers could too much to improve textures, the N64 was infamous for having low texture memory. I've seen a lot of modders saying this regarding to optimization. Overall, it was a good game.

Glenn is back! Happy days. Since watching your last video I now have a pristine, as-new N64 (with box, manuals etc), + Everdrive & MiSTer (complete with N64 core) sitting as my only gaming devices in my TV cabinet. More content please :) PS - Have a great weekend mate

Welcome back Glenn! You've been missed

Welcome back Glenn Plant! Always happy to see you again. Nobody on YT covers N64 games like you do my ol friend.

Welcome back! Very happy to see a new video from you

Good to see you back in action. I wondered about this game in particular. Thanks for more retro game history.

watching this thinking it was an older video i never saw then realized it was a brand new one! glad to see a new review posted Glenn!
