The music on the SNES version of this game is faaar superior, which provided actual atmosphere to go along with the gameplay. Some of what is on here is okay for what it is, but that was more indicative of the inferiority of the Mega Drive’s sound chip compared to its 16-bit competitor than anything else.
The zombies are the most considerate creatures in the game even with dying Dracula is so powerful that he can make them jump and fly and simply slapping them with a blade makes them fall back into the ground.
Well... it varies somewhat, I think. But it's definately in canon with Bloodlines, at the very least, since Johnny Morris is supposedly the son of Quincy from the original novel. There's the odd loose end among the Castlevania games. Bloodlines may be one. Castlevania Legends on the original Gameboy, and Circle of the Moon on the GBA, as well as the arcade game Haunted Castle spring to mind as being somewhat "free floating" and not explicitly tying into any established series chronology.
You know im getting so tired of the people saying the snes music always sounds better. The Megadrive has some great soundtracks, so does the snes, mostly its just a matter of preference!
Still though, this is a pretty solid game. It has everything a good game should have; smooth and responsive controls, great level designs, a great cast of bosses, and a chilling atmosphere. And a fantastic soundtrack to boot.

Compositionally, the Nintendo version is even better than the Sega CD version despite that platform having a higher end .
@@kramalerav I felt the SNES version was very hollow thanks to the limited storage space, or TT's lack of faith of the SNES (ALL of their games on the SNES is worse compared to the Mega Drive. This, Mickey Mania, Toy Story, etc)
@@solarflare9078 I'm about to look it up but it sounds a lot like Alien 3. Edit: Yep. Alien 3, Pitfall and Predator 2. I can clearly remember the style. Never thought it was the same guy.
I was huge Sega guy back in the day. My first 8-bit console was the SMS. I owned the Sega Genesis and still have this game intact. The GameCube is the only Nintendo console I ever owned. But now I’m absolutely convinced the SNES was superior in almost every way. Especially as a music lover; the music on the SNES version of this title runs circles around what’s heard here.
Beautiful colors, music and game. It soooo reminds me of early 90’s being excited that Sega made a winner with Genesis. I had the Sega Master System before, and this just blew the lid off home video game consoles. Miss my teenage life!
5:51 Last time I played this, like two years ago around Halloween, those fucking bitches scared the piss outta me. Was expecting the book cutscene after the last level, thinking I had time for a quick shot of vodka, those women come out of nowhere, whooping and hollering at me through my surround system, coming full tilt towards me. Had me fall back in my moon chair, flipping and flopping all over the goddamn floor, flinging vodka fucking everywhere as I scrambled for the pause button. Got me fucked up, man!
@@TKOh-tt9oi hahaha imagine your average, very spherical crater on the lunar surface, or moon and imagine a padded/fluffy saucer with a relatively similar depth but proportionate to your average adult human's body while seated. Now imagine this saucer mounted to two crossover, foldout legs, similar to that of older, metal lawn/beach chairs but mounted and/or arranged slightly differently and the saucer section that makes up the actual seat mounted to these legs in their foldout position at around 55° so that this soft, crater-like seat cradles you within it, typically rather low to the ground. :P So yeah, best I can give you for a description... or you could simply google it. XD They're not particularly uncommon. They're awesome for kicked-back, casual gaming and extremely comfortable
I feel that they REALLY should have made the Sega CD version of Bram Stoker's Dracula just an upgraded version of the Sega Genesis game, but with cutscenes from the movie added in and a rebook audio soundtrack from the movie as well.
Though, its a shame that Jonathan Harker is the only playable character in this game. It would be nice to play as Abraham Van Helsing or Quincy Morris.
The castlevania vibes were real though. I still have some magazines that were advertising for htis game back in the early 90s. good times. Game is kinda stiff though and the bosses are hilariously bad, but thats just part of the magic baby!
