Great video, and you picked three excellent Castlevania tracks (though there are many more).

Did you really have to call us douchebags though?

written by Steveman , November 21, 2008

Well, if you don't own the game you are a douchebag. Because if you have it you have no need to buy it and he's not talking to you.

wow....

Other then that great video.

Awesome video. I'm a huge Castlevania nut, as well as its music, so it was great seeing this video.

It seems you love "The Cave" theme from Super Castlevania IV, but I guess that song never 'clicked' with me, although I do agree that it's good. My favorite track from that game would have to go to "Chandeliers" from the second half of Stage 6 (Castle Entrance). "Cellar" (Stage 8, The Dungeon) is a close second for me. Hell, the whole game is loaded with great tracks.

Despite growing up with a Genesis, I never played Bloodlines, and I've really been itching to try that game out. I hope they release it on the Wii Virtual Console already. And while they're at it, release Dracula's Curse, another CV game I never played...

Yeah! I had got the last one and I thoroughly loved this track. I have it in my head for years. It's great that you appreciate it as well.
On my game boy I only got past the second stage. I played it on an emu, the third stage where spiked walls come at you is incredibly hard.

Man, I remember the first stage where you had to jump across lots of tiny platforms to come to the boss, but I fell off a hundred times. At least there was no pitfall on that point.

Awsum! Never liked castelvenia though... exept for the one on my mobile!

A gem alright!
written by SeabeeBuilder1973 , November 22, 2008

I love Castlevania IV! My favorite track on that is when Belmont enters the actual castle. I can only describe it as ominious and epic... the "holy shit I am now in the castle!" music.

As for the great music of "The Cave", I agree it too is a favorite. When I first heard it, I thought the music was the best for a game at its time.

AWESOME!

Great video and just when I'm playing Castlevania Order of Eclecia for DS. Actually iys shame that european version of Bloodlines didn't have that sweet blood and core that american version had.

Yeah My Bad, it was messed up on my soudntrack though, that's why mixed it with legends...but you're right

gonna suck ! man a soul calibur rip off with castlavania characters drawn in a EMO DEATH NOTE design ? NO I want either action games with kick ass music, or metroid like RPGs... so I won't buy this Castlevania Game... !

I used to have the castlevania on gameboy, and I really like its track too

Simon's Quest?
written by Professori , November 22, 2008

No referral at all? Yes, we have all seen the Nerds rage about it, but that game is full of great soundtracks, all far above average. Even nerd couldn't whine about it, even if he whined about everything else in the game.
For you who haven't played it, you can find them here http://www.vgmusic.com/music/c...ex-af.html
ctrl+f Castlevania 2.
The best versions are the first ones, except Bloody Tears (2).

wait
written by benzaie , November 22, 2008

you think I haven't heard the soundtrack of that game ?

Of course... btu everybody knows bloody tears and when you choose 3 tracks from castlevania, you have to make a tough choice...maybe for GSYMDK episode 20

Yes!
written by Leifonuss , November 22, 2008

The last one was a nice surprise i love this tune, but i wish you'd taken the Submerged City from SC4, i think this track is even more fameless , anyway still a great choice

That was good but you forgot one thing...
written by That Canadian Guy , November 22, 2008

The first level to bloodlines is totally awesome! Come on, I've had that song stuck in my herad waaaaay too damned often. And what about Castlevania 3 dracula's curse? Again the first level music is too awesome for words!
If ye dont believe me, then These guys will fill you in on the details.

The gameboy music didn't actually blow me away. There are tons of great gameboy tracks, and have you played the GBA Castlevania game Aria of Sorrow? Its probably my favorite for the music and gameplay (besides Bloodlines of course!)

cant argue with super castlevania 4

written by genocyde83 , November 22, 2008

I love bloodlines gameplay and music. Benzaie you are the greatest, I thought I was the only one who remembered the cave in super castlevania 4. Although the castlevania adventure for gameboy did have its negative qualities, I still love it for its music and because it has the castlevania name. Did you like the new one the DS order of ecclesia?

Of course, and it's one of the best castlevania ever made

will play it this week...

written by Omochao , November 22, 2008

iv alot to owe to castlevania music. aria of sorrow (or whatever the 1st ds one was called) was one of the 1st things that got me into music (along with a hell of alot of beck).

i didnt really like the cave song... but the gameboy song was VEY impressive

...
written by eligage , November 22, 2008

I knew them all the tracks, but I didn't remember the song for The Cave because of the simple fact that altough it's cool, it's so easily overlooked.

And Morons, seriously Benzai, just because its not your native language doesn't mean it isn't offensive, we might not have the right to not be offended, but we can stop looking at your videos, offending your audience for no reason is a good way to lose it. Other than that, it was good.

Ah yes, Castlevania. One of my all-time favorite games

written by S_Pac_3:16 , November 23, 2008

Well, it's not that I don't know these tracks. It's that I haven't played those games in a long time that I tend to forget about them as time passes...

But thanks for reminding me of them! They are great sounding retro game tunes! But lay off the insults next time ok. They're not nice words.

Best tracks from Super Castlevania IV
written by Forsyth , November 23, 2008

Bloody Tears
Treasury

And of course... Vampire Killer!

Although, all the songs kick ass. Except The Castle's Gate, that level scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. The one with the harpies, right before you enter the castle.

Good review Benzaie, but i would have included the other sony included in almost every castlevania Bloody Tears.

Sorry to say this Benzaie, but The Cave is not the best song on the Castlevania IV OST.

"Treasury Room"

IF I
written by benzaie , November 23, 2008

If I would have included BLOODY TEARS, WICKED CHILD, VAMPIRE KILLER etc... would it a GAME SOUNDTRACK you MIGHT DON't KNOW ? it would be as good a reviewing TETRIS for the Gameboy in Games You Might Don't Know

but eyh , maybe I'll do another Castlevania Tribute... but the goal is to showcase stuff you might not know, not doing a compilation of fans'favorite tracks

Totally familiar with the last track. But it also brings back a lot of frustrating memories.
Lately, I've become really attached to Eneomaos machine tower from Castlevania Curse of Darkness.

but wait!
written by genocyde83 , November 25, 2008

You know when I think of it, the cave from CV4 has a final fantasy meets swan lake appeal to it. And to everyone complaining about why a certain track wasn't added or referred, this show is called game soundtracks YOU MIGHT DON'T KNOW. If he put the mainstream classic songs in here then this show would be game soundtracks you know but here they are again. LOL. I like hearing stuff I may have forgotten or never heard in the 1st place. once again great job benzaie

hmmm, offensive?
written by gasto5 , November 27, 2008

For all those jerks that are offended by words like Morons, and dutchbags...

So Nostalgia Critic can insult whoever he wants but you... right?
Benzai directs an insult to you the audience, and all of the sudden you feel offended. That is lame dudes.

Keep calling me morron Benzai. Because I know I am. And it is quite a nice joke.
