- Castlevania NES (Enhanced Graphics Hack) Playthrough (No Death). Played by ArekTheAbsolute. This is a graphics overhaul of the first Castlevania game made by KYA for 30th anniversary of NES CV release. The graphics are mostly transferred from the game’s mobile phone version. The missing tiles are taken from Vampire Killer, Castlevania Bloodlines, or touched up. Nothing else is changed - the gameplay is left intact.
Arek: "I did not set any additional challenges for myself during this playthrough so it is just a “No Death”. Made a few mistakes on latter levels (seems I am quite rusty at playing this game) but overall I am satisfied with it. Mostly recorded it to make watchers aware of this patch."

The perfect play through for Dracula's 120th anniversary.
Go fuck yourself, +Kahli Balto!
That is ye olde mlp. I think it's more of a classic cartoon throwback thing. Not a brony thing
925th*
I love the pic, having grown up around MLP, during G4.
And now the 125th anniversary of Dracula.
The original Castlevania is just one of those games that gamers will never let go of. Countless remakes and enhancements are always coming out, and I'm very happy to see such a classic constantly revised and resurrected, like Dracula.
If you want a great Castlevania remake, try out GZDoom, it's a Doom clone based on the original Castlevania with sprites and enemies from the original up to Symphony of the Night.
This almost looks like some kind of Castlevania All-Stars or something. Also, nice playthrough.
Yeah. It's like how Castlevania would look like on Super Nintendo. "Super Castlevania".
Looks almost like a Snes port
not really, looks more in par with the Ninja Gaiden port for PC-Engine, still preatty awesome if you ask me
DaiKaiser 93 not really ... it looks like an Snes port
DaiKaiser 93, Well said, Sir! These graphics really pumped up the game to a 16-bit level, although still below SNes or even Genesis capabilities... But definitely on pair with the earlier 16-bit systems that hit the market back in the day, just like PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16!
It certainly *LOOKS* like one
It doesn't look like SNES for me, it really just looks like arcade type sprites.
Even with updated graphics, the final boss's second phase still looks goofy as all hell.
Never change, OG castlevania.
FYI this isn't a ROM hack, it's an "HD texture pack" meant for emulators. The game itself isn't modified at all. The graphics are taken from the mobile port, with a few tiles from Vampire Killer and Bloodlines.
That being said, it's a really good looking, even if it isn't running on the NES.
I like the brighter and alternative colors. The original game is a little muddy looking when it comes to colors and i understand that was intentional. Great video.
Graphically, this gives off a Master System vibe.
This is what I imagine it might have looked like if it were released on the Sega Master System.
It’s beautiful
My only criticism is that the long bat bridge on the final stage should have a blue skybox like the rest of the level- for consistency and contrast purposes
btw to anybody who is curious, this is not an actual rom hack/mod, it is an emulator hack and could not actually play on a NES. Epic none the less
That hallway before you fight Death is still the shit. Axe Armors and Medusa Heads. I remember as a kid that part gave me a lot of aggravations.
I’ve never seen anything this beautiful from an nes game
1:17 *sees you grab wall chicken despite having full health*
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
The graphics look a LOT like Castlevania Chronicles.
Calm down dude, they're not THAT good.
This looks like something you'd see on the sateleview.
Castlevania had the best of music for its time.
I was legit sittin here watching your vid humming to the tunes in those stages. Nostalgia buzz
Are you planning a no death run of that Netflix Castlevania series coming up?
PolarPhantom LMAO
Oh god, I forgot I made this joke here as well.
It was effectively a no death run.
They patched out no death runs with the latest season.
Amazing run didn't thought you could finish it without dying keep up the good work
It's impressive how shading and added detail are able to make everything look better.
Looks good, very nice colors while still maintaining the nes feeling.
I'm so happy this video graced my timeline! This is amazing!
whoever did this is very talented
An excellent job with the restoration of this great classic. A perfect gamepaly too.
It looks like a Turbografx 16 game
Gustlik RGZ Mk2 Or SNES and PSX game
@@godheart256 Snes and PlayStation don't look like this....are you fucking blind mate?
NeoApocalypseMatheusX Psx graphics aw man im dead 😂
Remember that Rondo of Blood was a Turbografx game
This is how it would've looked had it been released on Arcade originally as opposed to NES.
This is really pretty. I wish Konami would make a new classic styled game that looked like this. They could so easily turn out a classic castlevania game that just blows the originals out of the water. Like a sonic mania for castlevania
HOLY SHIT!!! THIS IS AMAZING
It looks like it came out of the arcades!
the missing snes remastered version! they should've made an snes Castlevania trilogy like they did with the ninja gaiden trilogy
3:56 I don't know how many times I died on that spot on Harmony of Despair.
It was very clearly not meant for characters that jump high and are floaty!
Holy crap this looks gorgeous!
Brilliant work here, someone holler at Konami to make this official. Excellent enhancement/port!
Imagine a Enhanced Graphics Hack for Castlevnaia 2: Simon's Quest.
Combined with the ROM hack Castlevania 2: Redacted, please.
I would like, see it
It exists. I'm actually playing it at this moment. It's called Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest Revamped.
Cool that fans can do these kinds of things! Thanks for sharing!
Looks like a early Master System Game, amazing
This is how you celebrate a series milestone.
awesome! as someone who is obsessed with oldschool CV, i really wish they would make a new CV game with 8bit and 16bit graphics slightly enhanced. Keep it simple
This is how I imagine it would of looked if it was on the Sega Master System
@18:18 Simon Belmont: *The battle has consummated...*
**Continues to spam Holy Water at impossible speeds**
It looks marvelous. I think all the digits should be white for contrast and easier recognition.
This looks like Castlevania if it had been ported to the TG-16. :D
Man this looks hella good!
Great playthrough! I just did the same a few weeks ago! If only this could be permanently patched to a ROM...
Wow. This was epic. I'm just speechless. Awesome job.
This is fantastic. While I will always cheris the 8bit charm the updated graphics was a treat visually...I loved the way the Grim Reaper looked! Was also great to keep the orginal 8bit music. Vampire Killer and Heart of Fire in this game is the best version IMO along with Bloody Tears in CV2....Music Box Vampire killer is only other version I like to listen to
Should've done the same for the sound that still sounds 8-bit
This is a texture pack for a modded NES emulator dude
This is pretty much what the game would've looked like if it had been released on the Sega Master System.
Omg, it took me over 3 hours to finish the game.
I like this so much better than a remake or an HD reskin.
This is what the Amiga version should've looked like.
Nicely done!
That hack shows how graphically good can be a game on NES engine, very impressive.
The golden age of gaming.
Not sure if anyone knew this or not, but if you did the Hadouken trick on the controller (Down, Down Right, Right and attack), Simon will shoot a fireball when he cracks his whip in the nes game
@10:11, proof that you are mortal, ha ha ha; brilliant play through!😅
Looks great. You play more stuff like this? Romhacks and such?
Great gameplay! Great rom hack!
Stage 3 best Castlevania song ever!
Vampire killer ost.
Gets hit 3 times
Im rusty :(
The PC-88/98 game?
@@gordyowl9455 @_@
Muy bien jugado mi amigo. GG
Looks great! I hope someone repackages this into a rom.
0:37 Osama ghosts!!
I love this!
This is possible on the NES? Looks more in line with the Master System!
If I Played This, I'd Make Sure to Whip All Those Candles
Dracula needs to stop stashing whip power-ups in his garden
can the actual NES handle this rom? can you dump it on a cartridge and play on an NES?
This looks pretty striking for an early Nes game. Is this running on stock hardware?
There's more gritty texture on the background, but that doesn't equal "enhancement" in all cases. ; - ) To some, the brighter original colors are better.
But the graphics "Are enhanced." They are slightly larger, and much more detailed, the text book definition of an enhancement. Just because some people might prefer how the older version looks, doesn't mean this isn't an "enhanced" version.
VJ FRANZ K though i like this mod, i too mourn the color palette change
¡Excelente mejora!
Shadowserg, my dude, my main man, you should totally do a boss run of all five Stafy/Starfy games. The first four are in Japanese, but I tell ya, it's all worth it.
*wow nice graphics intensifies*
Sega: the master system has better graphics than the NES
NES & Nintendo: ARE YOU CHALLENGING US?
14:17 you said there were no deaths, what is this then?
Holy shit, that looks so much better.
Is this compatible with the jump patch?
candle skipper, 0/10 can't watch
Overworld Key Lel
WHY WOULD SOMEONE SKIP SO MANY CANDLES LIKE THIS? FFFFFFFFFFFFF
I Want Another Playthrough... This Time, Please Whip Every Single Candle, and Discover Every Hidden Secret
Looks like a game gear game now, not bad.
This engine seems to be faster. Is this something that can still be done on the NES? Or this is more an SNES game enhanced?
Too bad they didn't make a Castlevania Trilogy remaster for the SNES, like they did with Ninja Gaiden Trilogy. That would've been awesome!
Very clean looking amazinf
How in the world does this hack work? This could never run on an actual NES. I've never seen any other NES hacks like this
Gammatron64 Modded Nestopia using a graphics pack according to the Romhacking Forum / comments on here
this reminds me of the mobile version they used to have out.
How in the world is this still NES?! Custom chip(s)? This breaks everything I know about NES color rules.
Because it isn't a rom hack. It's a graphics hack using an emulator to handle the custom graphics.
Ah. I feel like that should be clarified, then. "Hack" is really misleading, as it makes it seem like it's something done to change the game itself, not the system running it.
On that note, would it also be possible to patch an emulator in such a way that the audio is changed? I'd be really interested to see if there's some way to process the audio data to play it in a different "soundfont" of sorts, with different duty modes of pulse wave sounding like different real instruments, the triangle wave sounding like an actual bass, etc.
My inital reaction was similar to yours. I knew the NES wasn't capable of those graphics, so I figured it had to be a remake or something. But looking it up shows that it's a modified version of nestopia(IIRC) that is using a graphics pack. It is a bit confusing to call it a hack, as it isn't the typical way of doing things, but I think the end result is great. :D
Yea, I'd think so. You'd basically be telling the emulator instead of doing this, do this. Though that'd be a more complicated under taking.
I'd take the flying cross with the triple shot all the way to the end ;o)
Also, if Jafar and the Genie had a love child, it would be this version of Dracula here. 😏
Death looks awesome!!
Dracula's demon form looks so ridiculous. I realized that it looks like the developers probably removed his whole torso. I guess to free up cartridge space.
I'm curious to know how they overcame the 4 color per sprite limit.
Stage 1 - Easy
Stage 2 - Easy
Stage 3 - Easy
Stage 4 - Medium
Stage 5 - Hard
Final Stage - Hard
Vahn Jones
All of them are hard
I missed all of them as a kid. When I went back I played Castlevania III first. After beating that one, this game is a walk in the park by comparison. I agree with this breakdown.
looks great. have to try this
A sound enhancement would go well with these graphics...
By the way, is this still an NES ROM or a remake from the ground up? Because the flickering is still there, but this has WAY more colours than the NES is supposed to be able to show, heck, pretty much none of these colours are even on the system's palette...
I get the feeling this is what the game would look like on a Turbo Graphics Hue card
Gojiro7 yep
Gojiro7 you dont know much about the TG16 .... and its "Hu Card" not Hue Card
Darren Davenport Depends. Was the TG16 released in Brazil?
Overworld Key what has zelda botw to do with this hack? lol
Overworld Key lmao man
VERY beautiful!
Final version of Dracula didn't shoot fireballs at you at all... what was that all about? Seems way too easy.
Simon's back and forth bouncing walk cycle really bugs me.
Whoever made this graphics hack also altered the AI and stages somewhat, making it easier. There are some things taken out that, for the most part were pretty cheap ways of making a difficult game.
Absolutely nothing is changed in AI or levels. I played through original game many times and I would notice if something was even a little different.
this is more or less what the super castlevania IV shouldve looked like. no massive simon sprite on crammed enviroments, but the same player/stage ratio as the NES games
Is this version of the game being used on the Mesen emulator?
