I can't remember exactly, but there's a version K and M, and I believe version K was extremely unforgiving, as it takes away 80% of your health just by bumping into a skeleton at stage 1. Version M is little better, and almost plays like the classic Castlevania in terms of difficulty.
I dont know about yall, but Dracula's final assault was creepy. The animations where nuts. Im actually very impressed with it. Very aggressive looking.
same here, like if i took the helm for the new castlevania game, There'll be some big fat love letters to everything, Heck, i might make it the Demon Castle War game that every vania fan needs, oh and also its a metroidvania obiously, with a Morris Desendant being the shopkeeper.
M2 returning to the series 14 years after Castlevania Rebirth was released with a remake of Haunted Castle was certainly not something i was expecting.
Pretty hilarious in hindsight when you realize that Phantom Blood could be seen as Castlevania mixed with Fist of The North Star. Simon is straight up channeling Hamon energy.
Holy crap they made this look BEAUTIFUL! The final boss being changed was nice surprise as well. Now I can actually enjoy this game without pulling my hair out!
Just watched someone trying to play the OG version, and it made Enchanted Portals look polished by comparison. This not only looks playable, but it looks GOOD.
@@bigoof9654 yup m2 made this and it definitely looks like the same engine, I hope Konami gives them an opportunity to remake older titles since they clearly know how to make classicvania games
I would love a surprise extra collection of the underrated titles like belmonts revenge remade in this kinda style. And since M2 is at it again, please free Adventure Rebirth from the Wii… I gotta hand it to M2 that they’ve been doing a lot to preserve games recently, making their own special versions of arcade games (annoyingly mostly JP consoles only) and even making entirely new ones in dormant series like Aleste and… well, this.
Nice run. On one hand it's nice to have a game that's not super challenging to 1cc but I kinda wish there were some more difficulty settings as 'Hard' didn't feel that much tougher than the standard difficulty. Game looks, sounds and feels awesome tho!
In the original game’s ending, she’s right next to Simon - but all you can really see is her bridal veil flowing in the wind. For years I mistook it for a river or something. :u
The original game was not only Brutal but had Death/Grim Reaper as the BOSS before Dracula this remake replaced the Grim Reaper boss with Frankensteins Monster instead.
It still bothers me that Simon has brown hair in the title screen. Yet in the game he has blue hair. What's with that inconsistency? Even the remake it still had it.
@@gingataisen yeah I didn't notice till it the video was up for a few hours lol i wasn't happy so I did recorded hard mode as a way to fix that mistake
Too bad super castlevania 4, castlevania chronicles and castlevania symphony of the night did not got a "revisited" version. i woul have loved to see them with better graphics, better movement and if posible with new weapons.
Those games you mentioned don't need revisited versions. Chronicles already is a revisited version of the x68000 version. However Castlevania II, III and Belmont's Revenge really need it.
Simon moves way slower, and his animations look pretty funky. This isn't really as good as adventure rebirth, and that was slower than stuff like Rondo and Bloodlines as is.
@derektereve286 I'll be happy when something as good as Rondo or Bloodlines finally drops. Games better than shit from before time had a name should be the standard we hold Konami to. This isn't even better than Adventure Rebirth
Horrible scanned and cutout BS gfx and 3d models mixed with poor 2d gfx. Where is the beauty and magic of original game? UNPURE CRAP. And a Schwarzenegger with a whip????

Finally, Simon found the restroom.
He defeated Count Dookyula. Now he is ready to face Count Dracula.
Haunted Castle: Good Edition.
wow, a version of haunted castle that isn't blatantly unfair
Unfair difficulty?!
@@hitchrideonnob The original arcade version is insanely unfair that you gonna pour a lot of coins.
@@hitchrideonnobArcade games were deliberately made unfair, so you could spend more quarters in them
Yeh?! Even @Ryu been played the arcade version

Im actually very impressed with it. Very aggressive looking.
yeah the new final form is super creepy but it looks so good
It's also not a pushover unlike in the Arcade where the stopwatch affected even bosses, he can't be stunlocked and his weakpoint works differently
At least Simon doesn’t move like he’s got to go to the bathroom this time.
_37 years_ worth of bathroom waiting
@@CB-L Exactly.
@@CB-L Our boi finally took that shit, and he's ready to make Dracula pay.
Yes, but his walking down/up-stairs animation is worse
@@Dejan27 Really?
Jesus Christ. It's actually amazing, how good this looks. Castlevania came back to us - even for just a brief moment in here.
it gives me hope we get a fully new game some day
same here, like if i took the helm for the new castlevania game, There'll be some big fat love letters to everything, Heck, i might make it the Demon Castle War game that every vania fan needs, oh and also its a metroidvania obiously, with a Morris Desendant being the shopkeeper.
@@chaoscommentz4582you got a Lecarde descendant in GoS
The sound of the whip crack is so satisfying
There is no better trio in the universe than the electric guitar, organ, and piano on this soundtrack.
They made this game not garbage that's impressive, one step closer to actually new Castlevania game...
M2 returning to the series 14 years after Castlevania Rebirth was released with a remake of Haunted Castle was certainly not something i was expecting.
That Frankenstein monster battle is really cool, with the monster chained to the wall and Frankenstein sitting at the table controlling him.

@@bigoof9654 also simon is buff as a jojo character.
@@ashwolf2006 Even more hilarious, Castlevania and JoJo came out the same year in Japan (1986)
Its more like the "DIIiiOOOOOOO!" moment when Jonathan beats him up in the first episode

Man, I love this game already, I kinda wish they remade castlevania 3 with that same treatment.

How about the Castlevania NES Trilogy in this style (1-3)
@@ripparoofulgens8624 CV1 has been remade twice already. CV2 and CV3 need it though

I love every change they did except one thing and one thing only! They changed the way my spooky scary skeleton’s walk. 😢
Just watched someone trying to play the OG version, and it made Enchanted Portals look polished by comparison.
This not only looks playable, but it looks GOOD.
Wii rebirth collection has to happen !
Simon's Quest music in back ground is a win in my book. Subbed!
Really interesting to see where a lot of these ideas came from
Haunted Castle finally grew a pair and became a Castlevania game
Looks like it was made on the ReBirth game engine. (Apparently this was made by the same developer)
Yep, M2 Shottriggers working their magic once again. Hopefully we'll get a ReBirth Collection in the next few years.

i always hate it when you just get married and dracula come take your girl like who tf he think he is mf better not touch my cake
The bosses on this game are so satisfying, especially the Monster.
That's it! I'm going to the eShop!
No sword this time, nothing beats the classic chain whip.
Legit I just beat this game like an hour ago and man this guy plays this way to well
Is there any way to play just this game? I don't need the other three games.
Nope just the collection

Unique final boss. I love it
the sprit quality and animation is close to Symphony of the knight. very impressive.

29:11 I like how simons wife is a stock photo.
The Dracula fight at the end is fkn hard.
Nice! I like that!
These games rule and so much value to them.
Dracula takes his bright like: mine now, slaytors!
Kid Dracula is Next to be Remake? Anyone like,Remember Kid Dracula? lol! And can't wait to get this Collection of Castlevania on SWITCH.
Wait a damn minute, I thought the bride died at the end. At least that's how it was in the original version.
@@MrOrthopedia nope she was alive at the end of the original only thing is u never saw in game besides the start and ending cutscenes
In the original game’s ending, she’s right next to Simon - but all you can really see is her bridal veil flowing in the wind. For years I mistook it for a river or something. :u
Great game!
Are you playing with a joystick? I don’t see any joystick option in the setup
no weird teleport scene in stage 3, so disapointed
I'm not gonna lie I was hoping to see that first time around
Dracula just straight up resurrected himself just so he could troll Simon one more time.
Haunted Castle Rebirth ❤❤❤
Holy shit they remade the OST too it's such a banger!!!
The Cross is OP against Dracula's final Phase, you can always stun his Dracula Heads with it and attack the Orb without Problems
The first part bgm is from keyboard mania... Good old memories
They reduced the animation frame of Dracula toying with his cape at the intro!
Simon Belmont can Wield the Magic Vampire Killer Whip Weapon is True.
The original game was not only Brutal but had Death/Grim Reaper as the BOSS before Dracula this remake replaced the Grim Reaper boss with Frankensteins Monster instead.
Nahh. Death was never in Haunted Castle. You may be confusing it with a different Classicvania.
So many health hearts 💕
amazing game i wonder which year is this game
Its sad konami never recognized this remakes
wdym? this isn't a fangame
IIIIII NEEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIT!!!!
Hmm I never really liked the original Haunted Castle, but this seems pretty enjoyable to play.
Are there any difficulty options for Haunted Castle Revisited? Looks maybe too easy.
There is
@@axelricardo5243 wait is there!! how do u change the difficulty??
nvr mind figured it out man that was normal mode and it felt easy?? wtf hopefully hard mode isnt easy

Where to download it?
It's available to purchase on all modern platforms
Need to release this on PS4/PS4 pro aswell
sadly looks like they don't plan on releasing it for last gen console
Is this game for ps4??

Muito fácil, tem que haver uma dificuldade maior!!! Jogo ficou lindo demais, Konami está de parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏👏
am tired of those 3 Dawn of sorrow, eclessia, and portrait. but they made a great thing here in most classic Castlevania
I hope castlevania 3 next

funny enough its the same way in the original arcade game
Why am I not seeing the botton part of the screen?

@@cucabeludo493 no achievements for haunted castle and its remake, I actually think the achievements for the collection kinda suck tbh
@@united_virusX Yeah, lame achievement list and not including any for Haunted Castle Revisited is pretty ridiculous.
@@drlight6677 right like I’m surprised they didn’t do a collect all souls for soma or level up all sub weapons for Johnathan
@@united_virusX Which is something that's odd because that IS an achievement in the Advance Collection for Aria. Wonder why they didn't keep it.

@@CloudStrifeZXthe sprites aged well tbh, the only thing to fix is the lag in certain areas
Se ve muy interesante se puede jugar en algún emulador???
acaba de salir así que probablemente no
si lo juegas en emulador no estás apoyando a que Konami se anime a sacar más de este tipo de juegos
A vampire who throws knives? Is that a Jojo reference!?!?!?!?
Lo siento por los fanboys, pero, Castlevania> silksong. Y excelente Gameplay 👍🏻
