I'll try to post as many good old Game music as possible. - เกม
A kid alone in my room, Winter 1987, up until I couldn't keep my eyes open feeling like I won the lotto playing this.
I can relate!! Such good memories:)
You played the greatest of stories, dear friend (from Spain)
This is great. VG Music Revisited did an amazing job! Loved this game...still do. I would call the local video game/comic store EVERYDAY after school to see if it came in and finally it did! Also, thank goodness for Nintendo Power as I would have been stuck in a few places!
@@kylemsymons Yeah, we didn,T have internet back then to search for clues when we got stuck. This game had a way of misleading you with weird hints from villagers that were kind hard to figure out. Awesome game though:)
Yes!!
1:38 amazing rendition of Bloody Tears! Also as a kid, it never occurred to me what strong quads the townspeople must’ve had with all those stairs.
I shed a tear at the ending theme. The choirs, the trumpets...wow
Thanks a lot:) Glad you liked it:)
That rendition of dwelling of doom is absolutely masterful
And if you switch back and forth between normal speed and 0.75x you get the authentic NES experience 😁
@@Faygris True! The game kept slowing down at that point:)
This needs more views. Beautifully done. I only wish the tracks were longer.
This is absolutely amazing! I would love to have this while in playing Simon's quest. So glad i found this, thank you for your great work.
This deserves many many more views. Great work!
Thanks a lot:)
🔥🔥I dream that it will be possible one day to play the original games WITH your music instead of the basic one.
(maybe a hack? but I don't know enough about it..)
Because frankly, your music brings a new dimension to these already legendary games.
Thanks man, amazing work as always
I tried to hack one of the rom with an emulator to see if it was possible to change the graphics and music while keeping the original game mechanics intacts. I think it is possible, but it requires skills and knowledge beyond my reach.
Amazing work! I like your timed the music correctly to the game play.
Your work is amazing! Thanks !
Probably my 3rd favorite retro video game soundtrack. Thank you for this, along with all the other amazing covers you've done.
Pure Quality, thanks for this!
Thanks for your comment! Glad you like it!
Nicely done! I like the video transitions as well!
My favorite Castlevania ost...this is amazing. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you like it!!:)
This is an amazing work.
Thanks you very Much, I have other ones in the work, great classic games revisited:)
Best soundtrack of any castlevania game. This just made it more epic, thank you.
I agree that this is an awesome soundtrack, I am amazed at how good composers were back then even when they were limited to 8bit sounds.
This is great!
This one was even better than the last! Thank you for taking the time to make this, I loved it!
It’s an entirely new, intriguing experience!
@@PsijicElectro Thanks a lot, I really do enjoy making those:) Thank god for Console emulator, otherwise I would never be able to go through all these difficult games lol
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 I think myself and all the viewers feel bad, but you enjoy making them! I’m definitely gonna share on social media because I applaud that effort.
Dude..."The Magic of Scheherazade" has some if the most beautiful music in NES history, it'd do very well here.
(Loved Simon's Quest, too!)
Just like the first one.
Fantastic.
Incredible work! The low brass that comes in the third time through the Dracula's castle theme is so monstrous! It gave me chills. The choir during the ending scene fit perfectly. If you were able to make a rom that had the original game with your soundtrack I would buy it.
If one day there is a tool that allows people to change the music from games and that is not too complicated to use, I will definitely do it. For the moment, I think it is possible but it requires coding. I wish I knew people who could do it eheheh
5:00 - 6:18 Within these castle walls - is the best adaptation here. This has always been my favorite song from the soundtrack and it really shines here. Just wish it was longer.
Side note: A requiem (ending) 6:47 - is pretty awesome here as well.
I rented this once from Movie Gallery when I was very young and it absolutely mystified me. Years later when I got back into the NES this was the first game I wanted to beat. That AVGN video was like my words coming out of someone else's mouth, but I still loved this game.
This had a mysterious feel to it back in the days, and it wasn't too hard to play also.
What a horrible night to have a curse
I came exactly for the mansion then see and I was not disappointed one bit.
6:47 Iván Zamorano's theme (Orchestra Version) From "The Adventures of Ivan Zamorano: The Animated Series"
This song plays in the credits
Toon Link conducts this song
but dressed up as Iván Zamorano
His name is Toon Iván
This game deserves a remake.
It sure does!!
A requiem sounds amazing, it offers hope and sound different from the nes version which felt melancholy and even somber to me. good job!
That was an awesome ending theme:)
I recommend this live 6-piece orchestral version from Javier Mercedes (but it sounds sad): th-cam.com/video/lnyCWBlJ8nY/w-d-xo.html
Nice!
Thanks! Glad you like it!:)
Another re-orchestrated CastleVania tribute in the bag. This time it's CastleVania II: Simon's Quest, Great work on this one.
Now, The CastleVania III: Dracula's Curse orchestral tribute in still WIP. While the Super CastleVania IV orchestral tribute in in the works?
castlevania III is definitely in the work, castlevania IV will come later because there are still a lot of tracks to make
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 Looking forward for mostly the Super CastleVania IV orchestral tribute OST very soon.
I presume It'll be finished in May or June, Only time will tell, We've see what Plugin's you use. But what DAW do you use?
@@moxxiefan2.055 Cakewalk by Bandlab, been using cakewalk for 100 years lol
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 Cakewalk by Bandlab huh. I'm planning on using that as my 2nd DAW. Along with Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio, I say both Mixcraft and Cakewalk would be a great pair of excellent DAW's. Don't you agree?
6:47 up there with the best of the best!
I hope Castlevania III will come too.
Where could I find just the last song ?
Juegos como esto cambiaron el mundo de muchos niños que, encerrados en casa, sin amigos, pudieron ver otra forma de ser héroes.
You may not like it but this is how peak NES sounds like
I know this is not a popular opinion, but I tought this game was amazing and would have liked if they would have made more of this genre.
@@vgmusicrevisited8668 It is a good game in concept, creating a new game by adding the same ideas as a basis and more polish to it would make a great game
Could you do music from Uninvited for the nes?
There's no minute of the songs to make it easier in the video, huh.
Who made that art in the thumbnail? It looks exactly like something I would see in Castlevania.
Sadly..I hate to say it, but no one sid the art..this AI generated. I am guilty of using it because there is no choice but to adapt, as it is here to stay. But I hate that AI generated art lol
ART AI THUMNAIL
I hope Castlevania 3 too and bloodlines
Castlevania 3 is already posted on my patreon page so yes, it will eventually come out here, as for bloodlines, I didn't start working on it, but one day, I will for sure!
Include draculas curse too
❤❤❤👏👏👏🤙🤙🤙
I know it isn't the focus of this video but for god's sakes! Who are these losers that use those awful sharpening filters on these retro games? It makes them look absolutely awful.
Salute
Coolest game ever.
