Castlevania: The Complete History is a 2 part retro gaming documentary series discussing every single game based within the world of Akumajō Dracula
You probably already know of the 1986 action-platformer created by Konami for the Famicom Disk System (and eventually the Nintendo Entertainment System) But what you may not know is who made the original trilogy of NES games, what inspired them, why they made them, and what they are doing now!
In today's episode, I plan to answer all of these questions as well as cover every other game too including its follow-ups such as Simon's Revenge and Dracula's Curse on the same system. But also cover the strange Arcade ports such as Haunted Castle and the Playchoice 10 cabinet too.
We will cover its obscure releases on the original Game Boy such as The Adventure (plus it's Wii remake) & Belmont's Revenge, the even more bizarre Vampire Killer, and Akumajō Dracula on the sharp x68000
And of course, we will be giving special attention to the Mega Drive / Genesis release of Castlevania Bloodlines AKA the New generation before digging deep with the super Nintendo classic Super Castlevania IV before ending on probably the greatest Castlevania ever for the PC Engine AKA the Turbo Grfx16 game Rondo of Blood!
The less said about Castlevania Dracula X AKA Vampire Kiss... THE BETTER!

@deoglemnaco7025 3 года назад

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this game. When I was a child my parents took me to one of those "trendy" churches. You know the kind, where the pastor tried to "connect" with youth, and "rap" with them.... Ugh it was so embarrassing by proxy. Well this was of course in the 1980s and Nintendo was in full-swing. He had a Nintendo in the basement of the church and used to sit with us while we played games during youth group. Well, one day he picked up a copy of Castlevania, and of course we really liked it! David or "Davy" (the pastor) really ran with this. I guess he thought it fit in well with youth group as it was Christian oriented, and you were fighting evil on behalf of God. After a few weeks, he started coming to church dressed as Simon from the video game. Eventually he brought a whip, and started to try to whip stuff around the church. For instance, would try to whip "out" the candles etc. He was never really good. One day he was dressed up at Simon and was giving the Sermon (this time in front of all the church, adults etc) and he was trying to make a point... pulled out his whip and tried to whip one of the lights... but on his backswing he caught a child in the eye. That child eventually lost her eye unfortunately. It was real sad, especially considering the insurance the church carried wouldn't cover this; it was considered an individual matter. I don't know what happened to the pastor, but the little girl who lost her eye is doing okay now, and certainly cracks a small smile when she sees videos like this :) That little girl is me.

I don't think either Vampire Killer or Castlevania 1 is a sequel. That's like asking if Dracula X or Rondo of Blood is a sequel, when they're two different adaptations of the same concept. They don't play the same way, sure, but they've both got roughly the same story - Vampire Killer and Castlevania 1 are about Simon Belmont hunting down and killing Dracula, Dracula X and Rondo are both about Richter Belmont fighting Dracula. That's how the official timeline treats them.

I can't be the only one wincing watching all this collector value go up in smoke. Hope whoever this collection belonged to was compensated. Bar that enjoyable vid but I still can't believe you did all that jesus.

Damn Slope, I'd say you sound just like Ashens there in the intro... :P

The first thing you highlighted about Castlevania is the music! Undeniably one of the best things about Castlevania are it’s incredible soundtracks! No one can attest to this better than the Smash Bros. Ultimate sound team saying how much fun they had remixing Castlevania music. You can tell on what they did with it they had such passion for thr soundtracks as do I!

My favorite is simons quest. Love the gameplay and music.

It's nice to see someone enjoying the retro games instead of driving up prices (and I'm not mentioning MetalJesusRocks there, did you see? I didn't mention him AT ALL) I know I joke around a bit but this video must have taken a lot of effort and it's appreciated.

@Asobitech 3 года назад

Agreed. Games are meant to be played.

Hahaha I'm sure it was good for back in the day

@OtakuUnitedStudio 3 года назад

@@slopesgameroom As a former and current owner of Tiger Electronics games... not really, lol. They were and are good for a lark or if you've got few other options, but even back then I'd rather play just about anything else. I got a Power Rangers Tiger game back in the day, and while I played it a lot it was usually when my dad was hogging the NES.

Only got around to the Castlevania series for the first time a couple years ago in my thirties, after ten years of watching RU-vid videos about them. And . . . yeah they're great. My favorites probably were Bloodlines or Rondo of Blood. After Symphony of the Night of course

Super Castlevania 4 was golden for its time. Great vid.

@duffman18 3 года назад

It is a fantastic game no doubt. But I kinda don't consider it a classic Castlevania game. Not a metroidvania either obviously. But it just plays so so differently to all the other classic CV games. It's a bit like the Mega Man X of the franchise, with the other classic CV games being the classic Mega Man. Similar, but with a lot of major gameplay differences

Never knew why they dont always stick with the R button(or just a separate button) for the item usage instead of up+whip.

1:58 - FINALLY I see the Konami Collector's Series Castlevania & Contra Collection for PC mentioned by a mainstream RU-vidr. Someone recently said that one of those NES Contra games hadn't been re-releases on anything in the last 20 years, even for emulation, and I was like "Nope!" ;) I bought it at Toys R Us for $10 and got a second copy at Big Lots for $2 or $3. Also got the Bomberman Collection and a bunch of other Konami and Capcom games in the same small thin boxes.

@jasonleveck8546 2 года назад

Of all the games and all the consoles my brother and I have had, Super Castlevania is still my favorite. I'm 44 years old now and I can still remember playing that game on cold autumn or winter days and really just getting pulled into the musical score and gothic game design. Absolutely terrific soundtrack! Still waiting for a proper successor and I hear tell that Sony wants to lease or buy Konami's biggest properties? If so, I think that could be a winner.
