    57:50 The ironic part is, the Ring is - spoiler here - important to Dracula's evil plan. (Simon was NOT trying to resurrect Dracula intentionally, as far as storyline goes, most fans just assumed that. He was trying to gather the parts of Dracula's body to burn them. Had he thrown the Ring away after using it to enter the Castle, Dracula would have been gone forever.)

    I had the Nintendo Fan Club issue special when this first came out in late ‘88. I remember taking that issue with me to read over the weekend while I stayed with my aunt after my uncle died. It was a tough time but we did our best to get through it. There were a lot of really interesting things going on then with games though. Nes publishers were trying a lot of new things with their biggest titles - the Mario and Zelda sequels were both open ended, non-linear games and I never think of those two games without thinking of Castlevania 2. Those 3 games defined that particular time and it was such a cool thing to see big companies being innovative and taking risks. This was the only game out of the three that I didn’t get a chance to play at the time. I was 9 when it came out but I didn’t end up playing it until 24 years later. I also made it through somehow without looking anything up, with the exception of one part, when I needed to get out of the lava area faster. Not a perfect game - it has its flaws, but to me it’s a classic.

  • @greyfox4577

    I loved this game but i did spent years and years playing the first part of the game, meaning i did not know i had to kneel at that cliff to advance nor did i know you needed to show the heart to the ferryman to get to the other castle. With that said I remember thinking is this game broken? I would also end up staring at the cover of the cartridge and seeing dracula on there thinking, is he even in this game? dreaming on what his castle would look like and how difficult he would be to beat since I had already played Castlevania 1 I ended up beating it after about 10 years when a friend told me about the kneeling part and the ferryman. And i still love the game.

    Imagine making this in 1987, 1 year after the first Castlevania among these other great titles such as Bubble Bobby and Adventure Island. Literally nothing inspired you to make this game, you burn company resources just HOPING people like it -- only to have people shit on it 20+ years down the road.
    This game helped pave the way, and gave me many sleepless nights back in 1990-1991. After figuring the game out and piecing together clues from the instruction manual, tips from friends and Nintendo power FINALLY beating this game was a huge accomplishment for me.

      As long as you know where to go and you get a good whip asap, it's not that hard :) plus nowadays you can use an emulator and savestates so you don't have to trudge through the castle/woods just to get to where you died

    I believe the text for the bad (gray sky) and normal (blue sky) endings was switched.
    For the bad ending (gray sky)...
    "Although the confrontation between Simon and Dracula has concluded, Simon couldn't survive his fatal wounds. Transylvania's only hope is a young man who will triumph over evil and rid the city of Dracula's deadly curse."
    For the normal ending (blue sky)...
    "The battle has consummated. Now peace and serenity have been restored to Transylvania and people are free of Dracula's curse forever. And you, Simon Belmont, will always be remembered for your bravery and courage."

      Edward Nigma 313 I don’t even think the gameplay was difficult. What made it difficult were the handful of secrets necessary to advance the story, that honestly no one was going to figure out without a strategy guide of some sort. The blue gem at the water, the red gem at the wall to summon the tornado. The secret path with the boatman. Really just not possible to follow in game clues to realize that. As far as enemy conflict and boss battles, this game doesn’t hold a candle to the difficulty of Castlevania 3 or even the first one. But that’s all just my opinion. I feel like the guts were here for something fantastic. You can tell some of those big rooms should have been epic boss fights that they just didn’t include for whatever reason. And also the translation left a lot to be desired.

    • @SamWiseTheGreat
      @SamWiseTheGreat 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@RotaryriderFD Pretty much spot on. You would have to be some sort of super genius to advance in the game with no help at all.
      The gameplay is tight and as good as the others, the music is awesome too, though repetitive after a few night cycles. If they streamlined it a bit and didn't make it so bloody cryptic, could have been an all time great.
      Oh, those invisible platforms are pretty disgusting too. Putting them next to water to jump through, would definitely deter people more than anything.

    I just attempted another 100% run of this game, and this time I managed to finish it just before night of the 6th in-game day arrived. The last time, I finished it on the morning of the 7th day.
    The trick was to move as quickly as possible in Sadam Woods, ignoring the jumping blobs as best as I could.
    I think morning of the 6th day is the quickest anyone can finish with 100% completion. I also managed to get to level 6 by leveling up in the mansions.

      The problem with leveling up in the mansions is you dont get EXP from the hearts after reaching a certain level. I think to max out the only enemies that give you EXP are the ones just before Dracula's castle, in the graveyard.
