Am I the only one who actually thinks the name Alucard sounds cool, regardless of how silly the creation of it is?
You're not, pal; worry not (we're two!).
Alucard was actually from the move The Son Of Dracula so people should not really make fun of the creates for the originality.
No one is making fun of it; just assuming that the backwards trick is really silly and the name is cool, and that's that.
Sounds fitting, since the idea of Dracula's son being named Alucard was invented by Universal back in 1943. Then again, I'd be just as pissed if my named was my.dad's name backwards, no matter how cool people think it is.
I just realized after watching the video that Alucard's name is "Dracula" backwards
So apparently I have nothing to do in life because the last 4 days consisted of about 130 of your videos, and I fucking love them ;-; Someone help me please, I'm stuck in a black hole like Yahtzee-loop which sucks about all my attention in and it certainly never get's boring to see the dark sides of games I have actually never played or even heard of before ;-;
One of us... One of us...
One of you... one of you...

I wanted to participate...
I feel your pain I just gave a speech on why I hate Christmas music in the format that this guy does his reviews
"Fuck you I'm repainting the skeletons again!!" I died at that bit!!
spelling dracula backwards was originally from the 1943 universal studios horror film son of dracula.
GeakGuySheldon
didn't know that... but wow, dracula knew how to remain inconspicuous am i right XD.
Sachiel Otaku LMAO!! I know right!
GeakGuySheldon No....he didn't use any alias while in london because he only shows up a handful of times in the book and all those times he knew that they knew who he was and the other times he was off in the background. Actually READ Stoker's book.
Sachiel Otaku The entire point of Dracula calling himself Alucard back in 1943 was to point out how fucking stupid the name Alucard really is. Every single non-Dracula character figures out that it's just Dracula within five minutes.
But now we have the Japanese, to paraphrase Yahtzee, "thinking it's really fucking clever for some reason".

I think every artist at Konami is slightly embittered.
As well as every programmer, every modeller, every writer, every designer, every tester, every...
RarefoilB except those guys who have made a 30 year career of it and still work there
nah, their names are "kojima" and "igarashi" and they've all fucking left
Except the yugioh department, tgey turn out grest art at a regular pace.
"throwing himself back like he's trying to get the other team sent off" 😂😂 These little British-isms are any I love his videos!!!
+david donald He's Australian :)
Rulerof2006 He lives in Australia just now - he's from Britain and steeped in British culture still
wow, never knew that. you learn something every day
I have exactly one gripe with this game. The afterimage trail that appears when you start moving is hard on the eyes. My wife didn't want to watch me play because of that, and I myself switched to the invisible cape entirely because it made the afterimages less visible. Other than that one issue, this game is fantastic.
Be wary however. If you play SotN, you start to have a thirst for metroidvania games and you slowly resent konami for making Lords of Shadow instead of more Metroidvania titles.
too late
I don't know man, while I love this game you spend more than half the fucking time just back tracking through gigantic corridors using the back dash so you can walk slightly faster. Those moments are so fucking boring. It kinda reminds me the sailing in Wind Waker or the hours of just walking around in Fallout, they are all great games but those moments make me wanna pull my hair out
The lead designer on SotN and all the other good Castlevania games recently quit Konami, and he's reportedly working on a new Metroidvania game.
Squee :D
shadowshinobi06 Damn, I didn't know that. Can you link me the article where you found that out?
hum the mid Los game is a mixed style metroidvania and Los is supposed to be a new entrance point to the series as in it brings an a point of access to newer fans without changing any originals or abandoning the original entirely. Remember how castlevania has so many entrances and a long running story and is has a gameplay style that is offputting at first to many gamers. This is also ignoring that LoS started off as a new IP meaning it wasn't LoS style vs 2d Metroidvania but entirely new Castlevania style or something that ultimately be the same style without the castlevania name or characters. Well it applies to LoS that the more classic style isn't abandoned if you're not a LoS fan like with Prime for the metroid series
I've seen some American viewers of Hellsing who honestly try to argue that it's "Arucard."
As Crispin Freeman put it, when someone pointed out that Hellsing is Japanese,"Yes, but it's set in London, my dear."
its freakin Alucard ..lol 80% of the material is pure English and European.
+lonewolf colin (Colintheexecutioner) And Russian, never forget the Russian.
Fantasy Connect oh yes definitely..
And funnily enough, in Japanese his name isn't even pronounced as Arucard.
These people just heard that Japanese doesn't have Ls but didn't bother checking how the language actually works
@@possiblyapeanut It's somewhat like arukado or something.
Knockback rate is based on your Def. If you got high Def you'll get pushed a litlle bit nearer and with almost zero Def, you'll be kicked off acrross the room
This algorithm in the game's code actually can be used to exploit a glitch that lets you keep your equipment if you start the game with a code that gives you 99 luck and crap for your other stats. "Thief Mode" or "Luck Mode" are the colloquial names for it.
So, wait. When you fight your doppelganger and he sends you flying across the room, that is because of defense? I though it was just something that boss could do to you.
@@turbochop3300 no the doppelganger can use a move from the bat form, power move or something which is unlocked somewhere or bought from the librarian and that one hurtles alucard a lot.
1:14 WAIT!!!! wait, wait, wait... Did Yatzee say something positive about something Nintendo?
So far I've heard and saw you reference:
Hellsing
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Akira
Ghost in The Shell.
Not bad.
Don't forget Cowboy Bebop
And Dragon ball Z and Sailor moon
Look, he's an anime otaku, OK? Maybe a lapsed one, maybe he won't admit it until you pull at least 3 teeth out, but he got swept up in the post-Evangelion anime boom just like so many other teenagers his age, which is why he knows all about anime from the 1995-2003 era at least.
He put up a Dark Souls review just recently saying that he loved Symphony of the Night.
best OST in game history
+HYEOL nah i think its pretty annoying at times and overcooked. i think the metroid prime soundtrack is much more interesting and unique.
Nah, that dude's right on the money. Not the greatest but definitely in the top 10 greatest soundtracks of all-time possibly even top 5.
oh curses, now that you reminded me of it. On to finding the ost again then
Without a shadow of doubt. The only other Castlevania title that comes close on that respect is the PSP remake of Rondo of Blood, which has an incredible arrangement.
Call me a fucking moron but until this day I never realised the Alucard/ Dracula thing... I feel like a git
Actually the idea of Dracula's son named Alucard being the reverse of Dracula wasn't started in Japan. It dates back to 1943 in the film Son of Dracula. So really Castlevania was paying homage to the original. And I'm assuming Hellsing did it just cause why the hell not?
Seeing that pic of anime Alucard reminded me of something- I actually saw in an interview that the voice actor of Alucard from Hellsing (Crispin Freeman) is a big fan of Zero Punctuation. He was even kinda proud to see Hellsing's Alucard in ZP.
Yahtzee, please, I have to go to bed please stop being funny.
Gotta get through all 520+ videos somehow
Ryan Carter
Don't forget the 3 videos they left on the The Escapist's website and the original 2 videos on Yahtzee's channel.
I know you made this comment 4 years ago, but you know how Yahtzee is. I’ve been watching his videos for weeks now and I absolutely love it.
i'd like your comment but it already has 69 likes
I would agree with you but it's already five thirty in the morning. Bed isn't really an option for me anymore.
"What you need a fucking hand to hold player? piss of I'm recolouring the skeletons again" always gets me
"For some reason the Japanese have this thing where they think spelling 'Dracula' backwards is really fucking clever."
Actually the Alucard thing originates from the Universal Studios movie Son of Dracula, a 1943 sequel to their 1931 Dracula.
I think he was referring to the fact that Western titles have only used it as a gimmick once (in a movie not many people watched) whereas Japan has used it in the two most famous Vampire franchises to come out of that country, Castlevania and Hellsing.
Jess Kidd They used it in vampire hunter too.
pada otaku Vampire Hunter? What's that? Lot's of shows/movies/books are about vampire hunters
it's a movie their were two of them vampire hunter and vampire hunter D
pada otaku Oh yea, those animated movies, are they any good?
The coolest thing about Symphony of the Night is that the game has a few hidden music tracks on it, that you can listen to by putting it in a CD player.
"As you can see this is a Playstation Black Disc..."
OK, before any of you whiney sods try to point out that the name "Alucard" is an American invention, let me stop you right there. The entire point of Dracula calling himself Alucard back in 1943 was for the film-writers to point out how fucking stupid the name Alucard really is. Every single non-Dracula character figures out that it's just Dracula within five minutes.
But now we have the Japanese, to paraphrase Yahtzee, "thinking it's really fucking clever for some reason".
***** I really like the retro thinking behind the reason why Alucard was named that in Castlevania. He detested his father, his hatred for humans and his destructive ways, so he decided to become a guardian of humans that he loved so much. Therefore naming himself Alucard, to do what the exact opposite of what his father does with the exact opposite of his name.
It has this weird old cliche poeticness to it.
***** The entire point of the name they invented was to point out to people how dumb the name *they invented* is? That's just the stupidest.
Hugo Rodrigues Yes. You've never heard of literary deconstruction before?
***** No
Hugo Rodrigues There's a lot of way to describe deconstruction, but the simplest is "basing a story or a scene in a story around the idea of showing the consequences of a trope, cliche, or other similar idea". It's not unheard of to deconstruct your own invention -- in this case the name "Alucard", and the implication that everyone will be TOTALLY fooled by that name because I'm Count Dracula and I'm awesome!
Deconstruction is often stereotyped as "taking a story idea that got popular last year and making it super grimdark and making everything go to shit"
"It's time for METROIDVANIACS! And they're gory to the max!"
So just sit back and relax!
You'll backtrack 'til you collapse!
We're Metroidvaaaaniacs!
Come join the Belmont brothers
And the Bounty Hunter Samus!
Just for fun we run around
A MAP THE SIZE OF A MAMMOTH
They give us lots of keys
When we kill a boss
So we backtrack
And then attack
Until they've turned to sauce!
We're Metroidvaniacs!
Simon whips and Samus blasts
Alucard ducks, and then a slash!
Did we mention you'll backtrack?
We're Metroidvaniacs!
Meet Quote and Curly Brace who want to save the Mimiga race!
Juan goes to save his girlfriend, Viridian flips out in space!
Trace suffers injuries, while Lemeza lifts a curse!
The castle's flipped, the Metroids hit,
Fleming just made it worse!
We're Metroidvaniacs!
We have pay to play contracts!
We're gory to the max
And there's loads of ways to backtrack!
We're full of lava!
Hotter than a sauna!
Here's the game genre:
METROIDVANIAAAAAACS!
Those are the facts!
This took me like half an hour.
Despite how much I rag on the backtracking, I don't mind it much, it was just the most convenient rhyme.
+Ethan Garen you deserve more likes.
+TheGooseinator Thanks :p
+Ethan Garen
you win the internet.
Spynmaster
got my rifle
Japan didn't even come up with the Alucard thing. It's from the third Universal Dracula movie "Son of Dracula".
1:55
LOL THATS THE DISNEY CASTLE XD
+ASB “Anand SB” PCGamer When you wish upon a faaaaaaang...
holds up to modern gamer who hasnt played before, epic
DisKorruptd a very cynical one, too.
DisKorruptd Tis where I got the inspiration for my show "Un-Nostalgic Reviews"
I wish Yahtzee would do a Myst review. I actually loved those games (especially Riven) and he mentions them all the time
Seeing this again makes me want to see fanart of Lisa making pies, and alucard fighting drac only to discover it was Yahtzee who stole them
from what i understand alucard is from the 1943 film son of dracula
The Castlevanias that hold a special place in my heart are Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin. Also I think I'm noticing a naming scheme here.
"Captain grey-brown loads of bloom". Can't believe I keep forgetting about that gem.
This is my favorite game, but I love his points. It's amazing how many diehards get butthurt over opinions.
_Fuck your shit up faster than a coprophile in zero gravity_ is a phrase I've found myself using surprisingly often
Then he discovered Dark Souls as was proven wrong by his hand-holding AAA comment.
Mitch Dickeson Eh, I'm not so sure. I wouldn't exactly call From Software a AAA-level developer. (Don't get me wrong, I love the games, but they're not exactly a big studio)
***** fair point, maybe more he found another Metroidvania and was proven wrong *
Mitch Dickeson From Software is more AA, like Telltale.
Yeah I guess
John Beaird Yeah guess they are now, not so much back when they were doing Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1.
Guys, this video is months old. You can find all his stuff on video magazine how works for, The Escapist. Go to their Website and you find all his stuff. He puts out a new one every wednesday.
Actually the Japanese didn't come up with Alucard, that name came from the movie, son of Dracula, in which his son's name is Alucard
FINALLY, I FOUND THE VIDEO WHERE YAHTZEE TALKS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT ACCENTED CHARACTERS BASED ON THE REGION YOU LIVE IN.
i can't be the only one who took the time to get the crissaegrim right? RIGHT!?
Nope, you're not. I got it on the Reverse Library, about 18 years ago now...
I got it on my 2nd playthrough as a random drop. The rest of that playthrough was an utter cakewalk.
+DarkKingHades it's an awesome weapon, made the true final boss an absolute joke though
The only defect the glorious masterpiece of a game that is SotN is that at some point you become so powerful everything ceases to be a challenge whatsoever.
Yes, that's true. However, even without things like the Crissaegrim, the character was extremely overpowered. Spells like "Soul Steal" and items like the Shield Rod (which wasn't hard to find) made you nearly invincible. Now, I know you had to discover the spells on your own, and also figure out the power within the Shield Rod, but in all honesty, it wasn't that hard to do so (the name "Shield Rod" is quite self-explanatory). The first time I beat the game I hadn't found the
Crissaegrim, and beating Dracula was nonetheless a walk in the park.
That said, SotN is, to this very day, one of my all time favorite video games and I absolutely loved every hour I played it. I also beat it without weapons, just to see if I could, and that time Dracula felt more like a boss fight.
Yeah but the idea of the name came first on Son of Dracula, witch in the same movie they state that name Alucard is "Dracula" Backwards.
if wacht yahtzee already 3 days in one go whit 20 bags of chips, and 10 bottels full of 1l of fanta
yep now i think about it your right. What?
knobbelboy wHaT?
@@Th0tSlAyErIII What?
It's a photo taken by Thomas Ruff. He apparently took photos of family and friends, and asked them to try and look completely emotionless.
One of the best games of all time, it's so fuckin' good.
Now i would like an HD remake on Steam and i can die happy.
Careful what you wish for; Flashback got an HD remake on the XBLA and you must've seen what a monstrosity THAT was.
I think there was a remake you could purchase through Xbox that involved multiplayer mode or something. Not sure I never checked it out.
Baby Pizza
yeah that game was pretty good... it was basicly sotn multiplayer with 11 characters me and my friends still play it from time to time
Nice Avatar. Spider FTW!
Cheers!
3:27 That scene with the referee is the funniest scene because it cracked me up xD
I think the real reason programmers in games don't hide stuff like they use to is because of the internet telling you whatever the hell you want about a game.
Gotta appreciate this game was released on 11/11/11
Alucard came from a film in the earlier half of the 20th century.
Alucard came from a movie made in 1943 named "Son of Dracula"...
SoCalledSpaceAge Eeew! He needs to think about other things when he's getting freaky.
Actually Yahtzee, the name Alucard was used before Castlevania, I beleive it was based on the 1943 movie "Son of Dracula", where Dracula's son is named . . . Alucard.
Playing the GBA clones first ruined SOTN for me when I finally got it. The GBA games added more elements to the gameplay, had Boss Rush, and were more consistently challenging. SOTN felt like, well, the beta version only with of course better graphics and audio than the handheld could offer. The enemies in SOTN were either too easy (most of them) or required every single health potion in your inventory to wear down. Throw SOTN graphics and sound on a GBA Metroidvania and you have a better game.
The GBA versions were pretty much clones with new mechanics thrown in. Eventually they will seem a lot better because they are the nth iteration, though having played them all sequentially they don't necessarily add that much each time and reuse a lot of material.
The annoying thing about SOTN is that there is no complete version of the game. There was the original PSX version, the Saturn version that added new areas, items, and familiars, the XLA version that added achievements and leaderboards, the PSP version that added new content and some content from the Saturn version. However there is no version with everything. The least buggy version is the PSN version of the original release but comparatively it has near the least content.
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia does the same thing; if you don't find all the secrets in the first, stage-based half of the game you just get a Game Over instead of moving on to the second half, which is the Symphony-style open area.
Yahtzee you do realise that Alucard is the alias Dracula takes in Brahm Stoker's Dracula, that's why it is used so often.
Actually, since you bring up Aria of Sorrow and Order of Ecclesia as other Castlevania favorites occasionally, any chance we might get a retro review of one or the other sometime?
YAHTZEE KNOWS HELLSING?!?!? YASH
Its good to know he has a good taste in anime, but hellsing ultimate was way better because it was true to the manga. (hes also mentioned cowboy beebop in his panel on the escapist and evanglion [and ghost in the shell in his metal gear rising revengance vid])
Alexander Stanfield And the animation was a hundred times better.
epicsauceness100 yeah but they used a hundred silhouettes to save money
Alexander Stanfield True.
Blame the original creator for that, nearly every seen is from the Manga, shot-for darken shot.. And then some added bonus shots. Such an awesome series...
When I found out there was a second castle I was like "whaaaaaaaaat?".
Yahtzee knows about Hellsing. My life is complete, glad to see the man has good taste in anime. If any of you want to check out Hellsing, I suggest the OVA over the Gonzo television anime. The OVA version is much more faithful to the original manga.

splendid major
The Chaos Dragoness Your brilliance knows no bounds.
I love you people for this thread.
How's the game?
S'gooooooooood
Still goooood!
...in the beginning but once you're stuff's gone you've got to fend for yourself.
I'll agree that palette swapped enemies (skeletons in-particular) can be extremely annoying after a short time. As for the poison gas ability. On my second playthrough I didn't aquire that ability until after I had already done everything else there was to do in the game aside from going to the final boss and then proceeding to go to through the inverted castle. I will admit that some things can be gotten later...
Alucard's name came from the 1943 movie 'Son of Dracula'.
Lol forward moonwalk
That's okay, I never noticed that Arbok was essentially "Cobra" spelled backwards until this year, and I'm 24. And Pokemon came out when I was 10.
Hellsing hinted at it when she said "...fitting for a lord, or a count."
I defintiely did that whole "go to the final boss and accidentally miss the whole second hlf of the game" thing and I was still pretty satisfied for the experience it offered. That little tinge of disappointement quickly faded when I found out I was only half way through it. That'll do pig.
It's so sneaky too cos the map percentage goes up to 200.6% percent. So anyone casually playing (especially back before the internet was a real thing) would think they mostly explored the map (close to 100%) when defeating the "boss".
So very funny! And nice Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Metroidvania puns at the end, along with the Superman and Batman puns! :D
at first at was quite confused if you like the game or not, then i figured out what you said like if it was a different language, i think you said that even though some things are stupid in Castlevania SoTN, its still a pretty damn good game, because of everything else.
The idea of spelling dracula backwards comes from the old universal flick Son of Dracula .
you can actually keep your abilities: when you enter the room where they get taken away imediatly backstep
I wonder if Castlevania SOTN should have a new logo on it "Zero Punctuation Approves"... He clearly stated he liked it :)
Aaah nostalgia from realizing the shield alucart was a fake and the real one with the shield rod was the most OP thing.
The name Alucard actually comes from the old American movie, Son of Dracula.
Poison cloud? My favorite thing to do is just to go bat and scream at people as they slowly bleed there ears out to death
Actually Alucard is from a old vampire movie made in the US. Eat it Yahtzee :D
Ohmygod can't stop watching these
Confession time: I ate all of Mrs. Dracula's pies.
it definitely still held up when i played it on XBLA but the biggest flaw in it is that the controls are definitely a big imprecise and outdated. Out of all the Metroidvania style Castlevanias released on the DS my favorite was by far Portrait of Ruin and the one thing I'd like in SotN would be similar updated controls like those.
1:33 Its good to know he has a good taste in anime
Holy hell, another game Croshaw actually liked overall. That makes that total what, like... two games? This and Psychonauts are the only ones I know of. LOL
or in a different order. As for "how the fuck do I use (insert ability name here)?" It is clearly visible in the pause menu under "ABILITIES" where-in you can see what you've acquired thus-far and what combination of buttons you're supposed to mash in order to pull them off.
Make more of these, this is the only reason I subscribed!
Well, the snake Arboc is Cobra backwards and the pile of purple goo muk is kum backwards so it ain't the first time the japanese did this
Wow, Yatzee liked a game for a change!
The bouncing mouse and the Toad noises. (wrrk! doink!)
Those are my favorite parts of this game. :D
and even then the japanese didn't originate calling his son that, that was American, particularly Universal Studio's "Son of Dracula" in 1943. and seeing as ever since the first Castlevania, Konami was incorporating all the Universal monsters into their game, it seems only natural that they did so with Alucard, who appeared in Castlevania III in 1989.
1:31 An American movie, Son of Dracula, had Alucard.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Dracula_(1943_film)
+Nikku4211 That's the origin of the name
1) Exactly why I said went.
2) Well, yes, we did fight them. But quite a few non immigrant Americans are British or fell under the British empire.
There is a Zero Punctuation channel. It's auto-generated by TH-cam.
Yeah this the old trick of showing you what you can become. I find that quite a useful way to convey the idea of growth in you avatar early in the game.
and as for alucard being a belmont, he kinda is and kinda isnt i dont wanna spoil anything from the new timeline, but ehhhhh it depends theyre doing a two timeline thing now
Well I was just talking to Clark and Bruce about your review...
Hey, 'Quake II' was a really good game: it's fast-paced, filled with interesting weapons and enemies, and has a simple, coherent narrative.
I played it again last week on hard mode and it was way better than the incredibly slow cover-mechanic-loving pop-up shooting galleries you see today. Just you, hordes of robotic aliens constructed from your comrades' bodies and a rocket launcher. Seriously, I would recommend it if you like games like 'Serious Sam'.
So, I say this because it was in the "grey brown loadsa-bloom" bit.
To be fair, I only found out that Alucard is Dracula backwards because of Batman vs. Dracula.
"UTTERLY NUTTERLY BUTTERY"
Cant thank you enough for teaching me this sentence.
House of Frankenstein and Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein do it too I believe.
There's a glitch to keep all your equipment in the game and go past the grim reaper before he takes it all away. It makes the game really easy.
Also if he reviewed SOTN, why doesn't he review Harmony of Despair?
So what it had few minor set backs, but the newer games that work off of this are just as great as this one.
Symphony of the Night is literally my favourite game. Ever. Even to this day.
As someone who thinks it's just okay, could you tell me what makes it exceptional in your opinion? Maybe I've just been spoiled by other games in the genre and can't judge it within the context of it's time.
This review actually makes me want to give the game a try.
Great game.. trust us 👍
He didn't say they came up with the name Alucard, he just points out that the Japanese enjoy using the name. It's probably a little more clever to spell something backwards when the name isn't in one's native tongue.
It's hard to hate Symphony of the Night. It's arguably the best game of the entire franchise and still holds a candle to games to this day. I've found myself replaying it multiple times. :)
@LOTO020 He's saying that he genuinely likes the game, instead of simply liking the games he played when he was a child because they distracted him from et cetera et cetera.
Socom 1 and 2 were the only true Socoms. H-Hour is going to be epic. Can't wait! Oh yeah and symphony is cool too.
But you're kinda missing the point of what he said, he meant that the design of the wolves made them look alot harder than what they actually are.
