i wanna give a special shoutout to the DOS speaker version. of course it doesnt sound very elegant, but making it sound as convincing as that with only a single square wave is impressive.
I agree. You can even feel how it's trying real hard to simulate the original song, and it shows how insightful the creators are in tackling hardware limitations.
Julius theme in Aria of Sorrow has a part of the theme "Don't Wait Until Night" from Haunted Castle, a part of the theme "Heart of Fire" from the first Castlevania, and and own part in the middle of both themes.
Aria of sorrow is my favorite version! When the BGM starts, you will feel energized, and ready to beat anyone. The most beautiful part starts from 21:36.
I remember the first time I heard harmony of despair/aria of sorrow’s version I was skeptical. I thought “the actual song is only 1/3 of it” but its grown on me and now I love how it builds up and “dont wait til the night” is an excellent song in itself
@@HarbingerYT I went and check the particular song in question.....despite being on a better hardware, literally sounds COMPARABLE to that version of Heart of Fire, instruments and all. And even that he's right, the MS-DOS version of Heart of Fire does sound better than Central City.
@@swagkirby3449 Hi, I’m Jack. (Stop! Stop!) And we’re here to tell you about the most awesome word in the whole, wide world. (What’s the word?) OCTAGON!
@@castlevaniamusicforever the DOS version of castlevania was the closest anyone with PC only could get to playing CV without NES ... and even then the performance is so-so for the PCs back then ... ie, 286/386 era ... but the gameplay is very identical - just not as solid as the original ...
All version rated (because this is a mashup of 2 separate songs so i rated each version and a mixed version): * Heart of Fire + NES - FDS: Very nice, and i suprised that both are the SAME track + MSX2: Very good, and almost same as the original + Commodore: PLEASE FIX THE SOUND PLEASE COMMODORE! + DOS: When MIDI rises... (PC speaker sound weird, Tandy even WEIRDER, AdLib save the day...) + OoS: Very nice soundfont... * Don't wait until Night + Haunted Castle: ABSOLUTE BANGER!!! * Julius Belmont's Mix + Aria of Sorrow: Good song but GBA need to have a soundchip... + Harmony of Despair: Wow, this is very epic, but... Aquarius is already my favorite in this game...
9:44 - Hola me estaba preguntando si podrían pasar esa canción otra vez + Mmmm cuál canción viejo? - La que dice bi bu bu bu bi bi + No, te refieres a bi bubu bop bubu bop
Did this song not appear in Castlevania chronicles, or that computer game it was an enhanced port of? I think that was a reimagining of Castlevania 1, so I'd be surprised if it didn't appear. I think the PS1 game even let you chose different versions of the OST based on the different soundcards
I don't know if it's really inspired or if it's just a coincidence, but the Abandoned Castle theme from Curse of Darkness has a part that sounds very similar to a certain part of Heart of Fire. Check it at the 1:50 mark of that song.
the part you're talking about can also be heard in several other songs throughout the series, not just abandoned castle. it's a pretty common motif in the series
I prefer the haunted castle version, the connection between DWUN and heart of fire dosent fit very well in my opinion (but all the versions still incredible awesome tho)
I DID not put the Dracula Battle Perfect Selection, rather than forgot. Essentially I don't count versions coming from the albums when doing these compilations. If I did, then I'd miss a lot of songs for other themes too

Julius Belmont, he's so fucking strong that he just took 2 songs, put them together, and made it his theme
Its sad that konami didnt make julius his own theme i think its disrespectful to julius
I'm still waiting for Julius 1999 where we see tanks n' shit against Dracula for the "final duel"

Julius a chad
Julius mode in Aria is my favorite: no dialogue, walk in, kill everyone, walk out and watch from a nearby cliff while the castle crumbles.
"Nothing you say will stop me, prepare to die!"
Channeled his inner Simon lol
@@OfficerPlormby Just like Simon, he kills dracula twice
The question is, how did the cliff get there? The castle is trapped inside the eclipse, after all.
@Ahmad Adnan Fair enough.
While it did not originate with him, it was a very wise choice to assign this song to Julius. It's insanely fitting.
True
"Oh this is your theme? This is MY theme!"
- Julius "The strongest" Belmont
He’s the strongest character in all of Castlevania, not including God
Aria of Sorrow has always been my favourite but first time hearing Harmony of Despair and wow what an epic version.
Harmony of Despair is easily in my top 5 Castlevanias and it's such a shame it never caught on.
Yes !! ♥♥♥♥ much hype this both songs ♥♥♥♥
Yeah, and I also think it's the one in Smash Bros. Don't fully remember.

The entire MS DOS port is impressive given the limitations tbh
Agreed
Very cool, never realized Julius’ version of the song from Aria of Sorrow had a basis in the Haunted Castle track

Very happy to announce that this video is now outdated! 'cause of Vampire Survivors, of all games.
9:37 Still better than Sonic Chronicles - Central City
Sonic Chronicles' OST, while on better hardware, is miles better than this shit.

@@HarbingerYT To be fair, much of the notable music in Chronicles came from previous, MUCH better OSTs and games.
I love how originally, it's kind of tense and then later it sounded like something out of Megaman or a fighting game and I absolutely love it
I just love how they bended this song with the one they did in Haunted Castle's version for Aria of Sorrow.

I straight up didn't know there were Commodore 64, MS-DOS, and Amiga versions of Castlevania.
They're pretty much unknown. Don't worry.
@@castlevaniamusicforever for good reason

I used a Commodore 64 in High school, do I feel old.
@@dragonator1012 the C64 version as actually rather good all things considered.
This has to be my favorite song from castlevania just for how it feels like it transports you into the shoes of a belmont trying to vanquish evil
New version just dropped yesterday 👀

@@awsomebot1in Haunted Castle Revisited. Ode to Castlevania also has a new one
Everyone gangsta until 23:45 kicks in
I like how Heart of Fire has a part with the Boss Theme from NES Castlevania.
17:45
I know you want to hear it.
ULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULEULE
Aria of sorrow is my favourite but castlevania 1 and haunted castle are simply amazing
The Commodore 64 version of Don't Wait Until Night almost kicked my ass more than Julius himself.
Actually, it's based on just 'Heart of Fire'.
The PC deserves a medal for trying.
ule ule ule ule ule ule ule theme
2:02 was way ahead of its time.
And with Haunted Castle Revisited this needs a reupload with that game’s new version of Heart of Fire/Don’t Wait Until Night!!!
Aria of Sorrow versión is my fav so far!!🎉
Gonna need to update the list buddy. The Haunted castle revisited one is a banger that must be added
17:45 sounds like it could be in Mega Man X imo

* Heart of Fire
+ NES - FDS: Very nice, and i suprised that both are the SAME track

hi, did you know that girls have personality traits such as "loving this song"
I had a dream that those skeleton was throwing bones at me lol

Harmony of Despair version is the best IMO.
Wow considering what the SID chip can do, they didn't even try with the C64 version.
The composer of the C64 version, Kris Hatlelid, did a much better job on his earlier works, which is odd.
I'm not sure why they felt the need to copy the boss song from Fester's Quest for the later "versions"
Did this song not appear in Castlevania chronicles, or that computer game it was an enhanced port of? I think that was a reimagining of Castlevania 1, so I'd be surprised if it didn't appear. I think the PS1 game even let you chose different versions of the OST based on the different soundcards
Yep, it doesn't appear there. Etude for the Killer plays in the prison instead.
@@castlevaniamusicforever damn, but thanks for the reply!
This heart of fire is i think its based from Castlevania 1 torture chamber stage when you fight grimreaper as boss
So Julius plays like Richter and sounds like Simon 🤔
So, curious:
Are you going to update this to include "Can't Wait Until Night" from Smash Ultimate?
It's already in: the version from Harmony of Despair is the same one that's in smash
I am confused as to how heart of fire and don't wait until night are connected, but both songs bang none the less
nevermind the aria version is a mashup, my bad
@@eliptikstudios8996Julius’s theme is so good

It would be cool to hear all of these shifted an octave down. Evry thing is better down tuned in general

To normal Castlevania fans, yes, yes it does.
