The artwork on the cartridge is so epic. It's like Conan the Barbarian with an Indiana Jones whip facing Dracula in the haunted castle!🤯 Just incredible even after 35 years!
I played this game in an arcade in mexico where they put together a box out of plywood and stuck a small tv screen and some shoddy made joysticks, except they seemed to be made for lefthanded people because the stick was on the right and the buttons on the left, you would buy tokens from the vendor which were just wafers with a distinct shape to fit through the slot, and the game would let you play for 5 minutes before it auto-pauses requiring another token to continue. Sometimes the games would automatically reset after 15 minutes.
This is such an awesome tune!! Just plain perfect in all its simplicity.. Love the tritones and the phase shifted dual tones in it.. Very effectively composed!! Simple sound generator used to the max..

I love how you can clearly see, both on the cover and in the game, that Simon carries a sword. As useful as the whip is, I wish that you could stab Dracula in the face!
I played this for years on an emulator, but I finally got to play the real deal when I had to go to a Laundromat and in there was a Combination Super Mario Bros./Castlevania Machine!!!
OMFG ROFL!! i didnt no you uploaded this, ignore my comment on Wicked Child. I love this song.....it gives my goosebumps..not many songs have goosebump quality too them
what if castle vania had a split series of games like mega man x from the original mega man and it would be a 3d beat em up using items from the original games and the partner system from the nes games
+Gian Reyes Dude, the Mega Man thing was a mere cameo in SSB, Konami are not going to hand over the rights to the franchise so that they can make one game.
@WindowsVistaHater Why does everyone remember Bill Rizer but not Lance Bean? They are the CONTRA together. I don't care what Shattered Soldier or any modern Contra says. The game doesn't need a daggone story anyway. Bill and Lance ftw.

Childhood
*Simon Lashes Out!*
I am also here from that direct
FUCK YEAH
He will vanquish the darkness
To me, the best version of Vampire Killer. It has a Castlevania feel while still retaining a simplistic style.

+PK Shenji Man, you made my day again ! Thanks !
+Seo Yoma The lyrics belong to NintendoCapriSun, but I'm glad!
This brings me a lot of memories...
I've heard so many versions and this one is my favorite
Who's here after Simon's reveal?!
Me. Man, that poor Luigi really had a hard time. He got in the wrong section.
Thanks for posting this playlist, I study to this music...for some reason it helps me focus ;p...takes me back to my childhood...2>1>3 imo btw (NES)

I must give you props, my man.
man i so much love castlevania
I played this for years on an emulator, but I finally got to play the real deal when I had to go to a Laundromat and in there was a Combination Super Mario Bros./Castlevania Machine!!!
but anyone cant deny this game is the best in the nes but holy shit is this game hard
Good NES music
This version and Dracula X Chronicles is my favorite versions of Vampire Killer.
With all the staircases in this game Simon needs ridiculous legs like that
This is simons main theme
Awesome, love the game ^^
And the art cover....Xellent!
just realized this is the song that played inside of the music box in Lord of Shadow.
haha so nostalgic..take me back pleeeaasseee
OMFG ROFL!! i didnt no you uploaded this, ignore my comment on Wicked Child. I love this song.....it gives my goosebumps..not many songs have goosebump quality too them
My brother calls video game music beep boop music, I feel bad for him.
the mario's nightmare 64 remix of this is amazing
Thanks for upload!
Stage 1: Castle Entrance
AWESOME!!!!!!!
the one person who disliked this is Dracula from Castlevania
Where's my whip? I need to go whip some candles.
This one is my fav. nes BGM so as wicked child
That wuld be EPIC fight xD (hundred thumb up xD)
great!
behold the theme song of bootleg handhelds
@Alianger and it sounds fine and true to the original as it is. Listen to other versions if you want the "true" NES sound.
the box art looks like conan the barbarian trying to get the joker
what if castle vania had a split series of games like mega man x from the original mega man and it would be a 3d beat em up using items from the original games and the partner system from the nes games
+XxmoutaindewxX You know what really grinds my gears ?
That there isn't upvotes for your post
classic just classic....
The music of legend, for a non-less legend series.
The beginning is so punchy... and goood... like the rest of the music...
October 2018
spoopy
Holy shit, it's Conan the Barbarian XD
Awsome song!
this is from an official album compilation made by konami years ago.
the givers back the 80s
So little views, so little ratings... Awesome song
I suscribe your channel . Like
Can anyone make a version of this that doesn't fade out!?
@bergAgreb This music is from NTSC version of the game. European (PAL) is a little bit slower.
What if Nintendo makes a Castlevania game that is 3d yet, still platform like what they did with the mario franchise?
Gian Reyes nintendo didnt make castlevania
EzBeegee i knu bru, so is megaman, but you see him in smash...
+Gian Reyes Dude, the Mega Man thing was a mere cameo in SSB, Konami are not going to hand over the rights to the franchise so that they can make one game.
well sorry for my banoobers everyone :P
Well, you could try Mirror of Fate. Heard that it sucks, though.
I wanna hunt some vampires.
lol i see what you mean about the cover art. Simon kinda looks like Conan the Barbarian with a whip.
I will.
Fine advice. I'll do that.
@WindowsVistaHater Why does everyone remember Bill Rizer but not Lance Bean? They are the CONTRA together. I don't care what Shattered Soldier or any modern Contra says. The game doesn't need a daggone story anyway. Bill and Lance ftw.
Back when Castlevania had mostly upbeat music, instead of a boring orchestra like Lords of Shadow's.
i havent played LoS but i always felt that a dark orchestra would fit the games better
@Alianger This was not directly ripped from the game by me.
they tried, TRIED
KONO DRACULA DA!
So cool
@WindowsVistaHater you are forgetting Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden.
hey guys is this the very first Castlevania
They should make a new classic Castlevania
Castlevania Rebirth for the Wii
Marion TheEightBitPlayer Fabian
That's not a new classic Castlevania; it's a remake of the Gameboy game Castlevania Adventure.
Super Castlevania 4 was a remake
but it was a completely different game
tv speakers? i dont even..
the problem is you're watching on 360p.
Why can't nintendo Remaster this game to a full 3 dimensional side scroller?
why are you adding reverb and stereo to these, do you hate the nes soundchip?
240p sounds more epic :D
That's actually where you're wrong, if you look up
"I normally do this on Sundays" by deadmau5... The video explains itself.
WHY THE HECK THIS MUSIC IS NOT IN SMASH
DAMN IT
I wish I could go back in the past and tell my past-me that... it happened. :')
Tu pinche diosa Galatzia Soy Vampiro
No pendejo el Castelvania le copio a Galatzia, ella es una pinche diosa :v oknoxd
xdddddddddd
144p sounds better
PrimusVsUnicron HAHA no 144p
damn 50Hz EU version is slower 0.o
where can i download dis music
jajajajajajaj !!!!
What do you mean that's not the Joker? /o/
Dracula doesn't look anything like the joker...nor does Simon look anything like Conan.
maybe your old tv speakers are just very crappy.
Manita arriba si estás aquí por Galatzia/CidVela.
Except that it's not the first version.
don't even...???
Nah. I like the one from Castlevania 3's japanese version better (Deja vu).
remake
If it sounds true as is, why would I listen to other recording for the true sound? Idiotic comment.
Deadmau5 did it better
The game is still bad, though...
You just suck at it. That's all.
