When I play Castlevania, I always imagine Dracula sitting in his room watching you tear through his minions on security monitors thinking the next boss is the one that's going to get you.
...except that it would most likely be a series of crystalline orbs that project the images onto special mirrors via arcane, occult, and Satanic magic, Internet Tough Guy. I mean, seriously, why would Dracula invent the television like four or five centuries ahead of the rest of the world? He would be bored looking at static, snow, or a black screen all day long. I mean, who would make programs for his televisions in medieval times, anyway? They already labeled him, and rightly so, as an agent of Lucifer. Also, I don't think that you need pecs and two arms on your arm...have you been swimming around the nuclear power plant again?
This gameplay blew my mind! How did I never hear of a remake of the original Castlevania for the PSone? It looks awesome and the music is just as badass as the NES original!
Well, as far as I know, RicardoThePlayer, there was a version of Castlevania for the Japanese MSX, which is a somewhat niche video game console, and that version of the game is the one that is also on this video, and not the NES/FDS versions of the game. However, like Metal Gear for the FDS/NES, the Japanese port of Castlevania, which, up until this game, was known as Akumajou Drakula, just like the FDS version of Castlevania, there are things that are different in this game than its NES/FDS counterparts. Unlike Metal Gear, though, the differences are far more vast for the different Castlevania ports for each system. Now Contra for the MSX, on the other hand, that version of the game should have added more bosses, and then shipped to the NES/FDS that way instead.
@@stef5152 it’s because the original game was made in 1990-91, it wasn’t until the PSX or Saturn era you had a console that could handle the Sharp X68000’s power.
It's one of the many depictions of Simon Belmont's assault on Dracula's castle: Castlevania (NES) Vampire Killer (MSX2) Haunted Castle (Arcade) Super Castlevania IV (SNES) Castlevania Chronicles (Sharp X68000 and PSX) Oddly enough, in Japan, each and every one of those games had the exact same name: Akumajō Dracula (Demon Castle Dracula).
48:22 "You try to hit the Knight, but you can't cause you're too busy dodging medusas, but you can't Dodge medusas cause you're too trying to Dodge the axes, but you can't Dodge the axes cause you're to busy trying to hit the knight, but you can't hit the knight cause the game is turning you fucking crazy, look at the pattern"
This is one of my top 5 castlevanias its really cool how they incorporated a lot of enemies and levels from the other games. This guy who plays this plays it as good or better than the creators.
How cute that they brought back the notorious "kneel for a few seconds" trick from Simon's Quest, but not in such a controversial way. In this game, kneeling wins yous 1ups; in SQ it was like, the only way to pass the game, this rendering the game impossible without Nintendo Power
Three reasons to love this game: 1:10:53 Thrashard in the Cave 1:36:05 The Tower of Dolls 1:40:55 Etude for the Killer. Sota Fujimori happened to make those three tracks extremely epic in all ways possible... I don't like their original versions, but these arranged ones are a dream.
Shame Konami removed the talking that the dolls do in the Japanese release. They do more than just go wah (when hit), they also have speech in the original release.
Saxon1994 this DOES look like shit considering the ps1 had 'Symphony of the night' which is the best castlevania and one of the best 2d games of all time. This came out after plus the ps1 was perfectly capable of pulling off great 2d gaming yet this looks worse than super castlevania 4!
Paul Seidler Because this game wasn't originally on the PS1 it actually is from a obscure gaming computer from the 80s known as the sharp x68000, the only thing that the psx hardware is doing here is emulating the game in the original mode, in the arrange mode is pretty much the same although it is actually running in the psx hardware without an emulator reason why it's graphics and music are different
Man, cool! Wow, just wow! Real pro walk through! Was it tool-assisted in anyway? Or is it just your favorite game? Or is it that you're just that good? heh!
The simon and Dracula's sprite are completely redone by the new Ayami Kojima's design, the difficulty setting in completely different, the music was totally rearranged.
Is a Castlevania one remake the levels feel oddly familiar...note I've never completed castlevania one for nes... I have it on an emulator though ...and just last weekend got the nes Castlevania...
+Penfold8 Originally it was released for The Sharp X68000 then it was re-released for PlayStation with an arrange mode that gave you an arranged version of the game's soundtrack and some new and redesign levels.
So in this video, there are two different soundtracks for Original and Arrange modes? And in T-0815's long play [083], a "Roland GS MIDI music" track is used? So the game in essence has three soundtracks, or did I mishear? Sorry to ask a bunch of sound questions, but the soundtrack (particularly the one heard in the [083] longplay) is so awesome in and of itself, I am considering getting the game through PSN for it.
has an arcade feel to it and look. The whip cracking is anoying though imo and I hate how they changed the boss music. Call me retro or old fationed or whatever. It's still pretty cool even with new music and graphics. I would love to play this with a joystick.
This is a great game. But I don't really like the sound for when Simon uses his whip. It doesn't sound like a whip; it sounds like someone hitting the drums.
33:13, why do I feel like that people ship both Simon Belmont, and She Wolf together? It would have to be a gigantic and we'll fleshed out fanfiction to make the basic level of sense, or maybe someone could just make Castlevania I in the style of Symphony of the Night, and just have one of the goals for the true ending be: Rescue Andrea Tifa, and she turns out to be the She Wolf. Wait what am I talking about?

Sounds like K. Rool in DK64
Watch Castlevania terminal montage
The peeping eye serves as the castle's watchdog, the creature can be seen on 4:08 behind the windows
Then he gets pissed off when you kill them
The way Simon walks makes me think he's cursing the entire way. XD
"!@%$% Dracula @#!"
whips enemy
"$^%@#!"

Oh, I wish we had someone funny and talented make that into a machinima.
He would probably do better if he stopped using the exact same moveset trough all games. Only variation he does is the transformation sometimes :V
He's just got this Stone Cold Steve Austin thing going the whole time.

1:05:30 - Arranged playthrough starts.
Wow, this version of Dracula's castle is one of the best!
It has of everything here, a crystal mine, underground cave, hall of toys, laboratory, etc.
Simon has red hair!?
That explains his design in Castlevania Judgement.
1:01:07 *This is the very first "remake version" from the old Castlevania series.*
Super Castlevania IV: "Am I joke for you?"
The torture dungeon at 41:16 may be the most visually spooky stage of any Castlevania.
Fer real!!! Imagine a remake/remaster of this stage!? It would be absolutely terrifying!
Oh man, that walking animation. :P
Simon looks like he has to take a dump real bad.
LOL!!XD
Nicholas Rumleskie he probably likes it’s wha wha in ze buttsex jejeje
@@sammyyo461 hi rockmansam.
@@purwantiallan5089 Hiya!!
@Jose Rafael Contreras true. Simon when walking looks weak but fast when running.
This is one of my top 5 castlevanias its really cool how they incorporated a lot of enemies and levels from the other games. This guy who plays this plays it as good or better than the creators.
I think the room at 36:02 was built for Alucard when he was a kid to play with his toys and celebrate his birthday.
Okay I just had to say this guy is an expert at this game! Great job ScHIAuChi
21:35 Best stage, best music.
The music in this game is probably my favorite Castlevania soundtrack.
It saddens me to think about how many people overlook this game.
Is there a baphomet on the background at 18:44?
good catch, I saw it too

cuando le da a los candelabros suena como explotando globos xDDD
This is actually a port from the x68000 version
24:20 - Bloody Tears, love this moment
Three reasons to love this game:
1:10:53 Thrashard in the Cave
1:36:05 The Tower of Dolls
1:40:55 Etude for the Killer.
Sota Fujimori happened to make those three tracks extremely epic in all ways possible... I don't like their original versions, but these arranged ones are a dream.
I love Vampire Killer and Simon’s Theme. I’m a fan of All Clear myself!
Etude for the killer is a kinda odd name...
this play through was impeccable, kudos
5:57 The never ending fleemen
Watching this while my PS3 is updating. Really passing the time lol.
Still updating?
@@donkeykongisytpooping3002 it's not plugged in rn so no 😅
@@BeeLy1011 You should plug it back in and check for updates.
chronicles is probelly the best 2d game for visuals. and i love at 52:55 you are kneeling at the old hidden crucifix to get a bonus. great detail
I always wondered what the ending for this game looked like; thanks for showing it to me. GREAT gaming!
Most Castlevanias end with Dracula’s Castle collapsing at the end. Take the original NES ending for example, or Haunted Castle for the arcade.
Or Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse.
The Arrange mode music is AMAZING
this game was awesome but frustratingly difficult. especially the tower of dolls stage....
Shame Konami removed the talking that the dolls do in the Japanese release. They do more than just go wah (when hit), they also have speech in the original release.
Wow this came out in 1993, I think I was Hooked on Super Nes and Sega at that time, that's why I never even heard of this game.
It was also on a Japan only computer.
@@donkeykongisytpooping3002x68000
I miss the iconic classic of Castlevania.
Why are people saying this game looks like shit? It looks awesome for a 2D PS1 game.
Saxon1994 this DOES look like shit considering the ps1 had 'Symphony of the night' which is the best castlevania and one of the best 2d games of all time. This came out after plus the ps1 was perfectly capable of pulling off great 2d gaming yet this looks worse than super castlevania 4!

That's because it was a 1993 game re-released 9 years later.
@@DanielSong39 and it is always amazing.
Some of the backgrounds in this game are incredible.
I especially like that statue crying blood.
esse video chega a me dar falta de ar véi
1:26:55 I wish I had that evil Medusa laugh as a notification
Those ice skeletons are pretty sweet
36:39 now I know where one of Order of Ecclesia ost is from.
Forgot you can whip downward in this game, that's why I always jumped into zombies in the last segment of the first stage xD
Well played, man.
3:55 where did the crown come from?!
it's a secret item
@@stuff5499 I see
The Clock Tower music reminds me of a Psychedelic Circus.
would people buy the game just because of the soundtrack, or the actual gameplay?
It was an excellent game in 1993 on the Sharp X68000. Obviously it's not going to be as cutting edge 9 years later.
It's an excellent old school Castlevania until today, the best version of the first Castlevania for sure.
Man, that whip and object breaking sound is way too much. Sounds like someone constantly popping balloons. :-o
Stages 07 to 09 = Haunted Castle Zone Acts 1, 2, and 3.
Where threre's a whip there's a way!
A Return of the King animated movie reference?
@@Tom_Van_Zandt agree
We don't wanna go to war today!
Also, did the Ice King appear in this game all this time before Adventure Time?
1:19:59 That is nosferatu in the deep part of the phase
Man, cool! Wow, just wow! Real pro walk through! Was it tool-assisted in anyway? Or is it just your favorite game? Or is it that you're just that good? heh!
The cutscenes in this game are better detailed than the ones on SOTN...
god, the music is instant nostalgia
Why the music sounds like the Megadrive?
Anyway good playthrough.
It sounds like that because this is a port from the old x68000 computer castlevania that was released in 1993
After he won the game, why did he start another new game at 1:05:41 ?
Arranged version that time.
Simon "walks slow and weird" Belmont everyone!
invaderhim23 naw he got the Belmont swag
faster than Christopher Belmont from Castlevania Adventure for the Game Boy/GBC
Wait, why does Dracula have a chapel in his evil, satanic haunted castle?
Evil needs a place to worship too. But in truth, he used to be Orthodox is why.
This game looks awesome.
:| I can ignore the original mode cuz that's from x68000 version, but the arranged mode, what is arranged??? music only???
The graphics are also a little different.
Kenshin 811 when simon is hit,he dont go back like the original

The simon and Dracula's sprite are completely redone by the new Ayami Kojima's design, the difficulty setting in completely different, the music was totally rearranged.

It's a Peeping Eye if you look closely at the windows during the first stage

Anyone know how to save this game on PS3?
Is a Castlevania one remake the levels feel oddly familiar...note I've never completed castlevania one for nes... I have it on an emulator though ...and just last weekend got the nes Castlevania...
yes, this is remake of Castlevania 1
Dracula looks like the joker on the original mode
How do you strike your whip vertically? 80 I can only whip down in a diagonal fashion.
This looks like an Arcade game. Was it ever released in the arcades or was it on a game console?

Vampire Killer remix in the first level is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
De que consola es este castervania
You mean the green plant? That's a Healing Herb. It uses 10 hearts to restore six life points.
What means ''a''? Arranged Version?
I guess not, there's another video from other game that has (a) too.
1:57:01
Dracula: WE SHALL MEET AGAIN BLOOD OF BELMONT!

Wow, this game looks and sounds amazing. Except his walking animation is a bit, neh.
It basically IS the same game with slight differences, yes.
So this is pretty much a remake of the first Castlevania?
Yes, such as the 1993 X86000 PC original.
Now this is how longplays are supposed to be done
17:00 the frogs made me laugh
never heard of this one before,is it avalible in the United States too,or was it jus one of those Japan only releases?
The original was only in Japan, but this version was released for the PS1 in the US.
shinmiroku ya we never got to experence this awsome ness
I did not remember the bone dragon as a boss... reminded me of Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
Excellent player, great video
Castlevania looking for the bathroom adventures

The werewolf is a boss of the mechanical tower ? Interesting.
That also happens with Carmilla in Dracula X if you don't want Richter to save Annette

The whip is in the right hands
The music is really bad ass
1:10:52 Music is just too good!
Longplay?... more like Godlikeplay
The only sad thing with this game is that they removed the multi directional whip and the flip
Beat the game as original mode your introduction a 2d ending but in arrange mode is now 3d
@ 34:25 the level soundtrack is real awesome
am I the only one who thinks that Dracula's first phase kinda looks like the Joker from Batman?
Nah, his second does.
His first form only looks like that in the Original mode but in Arranged, that form's design looks different
Wish this was on Switch, Xbox, or at the very least PS4...
gotta love that music
What do you think about the Arranged Mode's music? I think they made it obnoxious!
What console is this game for?
playstation 1

I wonder why they didn't remake Castlevania 2 and 3 like they did with this one
The only reason they remade this because the USA didn't get a release of this Castlevania until the Playstation made its debut.
What is PSX? Playstation?
I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a remake of SCV4, but a flat out remake of CV1
