This is the OST to Akumajou Densetsu for the Famicom! But in my own form of Stereo! Which spreads the sound channels and adds a bit of echo/reverb. These mixes also do not represent true, original, or actual stereo that the NES has, this is just to make the music sound more clear and crisp, and is another way of listening to the greatness of 8Bit music. So enjoy this soundtrack in what I like to call, WiiGuy's 8Bit Stereo!! :D

Aquarius is arguably the best piece of upbeat music in the whole Castlevania game.
by far, yes! makes you want to go on an adventure
I'm 32. Take me back to the late 80's & 90's. Ahh nostalgia
+Molon Lave Is it weird that I like NES games at the age of 12?
28 and feeling this feel
Yeah no kidding. Just hoping to stay healthy 40 and beyond.
Don't you mean retro whoring xenophobia, arrogance, and elitism, @Rabbit Moon?
Happy 40th big dog.
Good GOD the stereo makes this sound maginificent!
This is IMO the best NES soundtrack of them all.
this is quite a statement.
and while listening, tough to find a conclusion to anything else standing up to it in terms of superiority..
but dammnid, think you are right! only things that come to mind are the smash-hit celebrated, obvi choices, but in terms of dynamix, just do not really hold to the same lvl of quality, progressions, modulating arpeggiations..
the konami drum kit was always top tier, and this cart has such thumpin' bass, driving the song and the play.
Woooof, tough call there! Certainly a contender. Some of the Megaman soundtracks come to mind, as do some more esoteric ones. Like I love the Startropics soundtrack so much... and the Ninja Gaiden soundtrack. I'll have to think more on this....
Or shoot, what am I saying, it's probably Duck Tales, right?
Agh, but now Ironsword comes to mind, too.....
Stream and Riddle REALLY take on different feels with the added instruments in this mix.
15:15 , best song in this game! Love the song so much!
It is called Aquarius
1:54 gets me so pumped.
No matter what, no matter who -- this, IS, the best soundtrack any castlevania has to offer. The genuity, the oldshool, the briliant use of soundchip, the melody. Ah, its all here. I will, and to, raise my hat for composers of this game. Awesome job, cant say more!
opinions stated as fact....forgot I was on youtube.
Mplode That's the thing about humans. They tend towards varying opinions and sometimes they even express them publicly.
Cyborg Pirate Ninja Jesus
I have no issues with opinions. I have issues with opinions being stated as fact. Opinions without facts are often promoting agendas even if the person has no idea that they are doing so. Period.
Mplode LOL. He was commenting on a video game soundtrack. Pick your battles dude.
Yes and I commented on the comment. Welcome to the internet. Only been this way since 2001. You must be new.
Thanks for creating this! One of the best soundtracks ever. Great to have the option of stereo!
Sent shivers down my spine. :0
The Prelude is where it all began. On the plains of battle.
Pick up your weapons, folks. We have an ancient adversary to defeat!
Favorite video game soundtrack right here. It's just so good. I want to cover it on piano. The entire thing. No joke. That's a project right there.
+Jared “Luigi84289” T all 3 (6?) tracks of it.
I listen to this all the time on my days off. Can't get enough of it. Kicks ass! Thanks for all the cool 8 bit music!
still find myself coming back to this years later, thanks for this upload!
The dark mood of Epitaph combined with that chuckle really feels good.
1:54 Beginning is one of the greatest VGM!
Evergreen is so beautiful.
The vrc6 sounds like Snatcher and Metal Gear 1&2 on the MSX sometimes. Doesn't surprise me, cause they're all made by Konami.
I actually own the physical Dracula's Best CD, I found it on eBay as a kid and begged for it as a Christmas gift... so even though I never got to PLAY this version, I definitely grew up listening to it over and over and over. Some extreme nostalgia for these tunes.
Akumajou, and Gimmick give 16-bit games a run for their money.
Wow, amazing. It is better than NES version.
THey put an extra sound chip in the cartridge for this game on the FamiCom. The NES was not compatible with that chip.
Castlevania has always been a favorite of mine. It's also an oddity where the game was easier in Japan than here. The first Castlevania game had a beginner mode. 4th grade me would have killed for a beginner mode!
If you take the Alucard path and get to see Frankensteins Level.. the Demon Seed 16:45 fits the Level to the T
Man, Akumajõ Densetsu (Castlevania III) has a stellar soundtrack. I was fortunate to find an English translation so I can enjoy the dialogue but still listen to the Japanese version’s music. Thank you for offering a download! I burnt it to a disc for my personal enjoyment, as I want to listen to it on the go. At least without leaving the CZcams app open to play it. I actually think what you did added some depth to an already rich sound!
This is truly amazing. I am in awe of this soundtrack. Thanks so much for posting this.
1:42
"Dracula! I'm comin' to your castle!
I'monna slay ya, say ya prayers, I'm on my way
I'm Trevor Beeeeelmooont!"
-The Amazing Brando
Ádám Pajor *Ralph Belmondo
Pan Z
Oh well... That's right.
But the lyrics were based on the US version, where his name is Trevor Belmont.
Ádám Pajor Well, this is a video for the Japanese version though
+Ádám Pajor Brand0?
Ha! Classic
oh....my....god....Beginning is just....NOM NOM NOM SOO GOOOOOOD I WAN'T IT FOREVER SO YUM!
Trevor looks extremely confused about his situation...he's proba bly thinking "so is my real name Trevor or Ralph?!?"
METALLICARULES11 I actually laughed out loud.
+METALLICARULES11 Naw, he looks mesmerized by his whip.
He looks like a Stretch Armstrong that joined a 80's Hair Band and is trying his best to flex his Abs.
Corey McCrann Same thinking, eh?
Mr. Egg Well, Konami has the idea of making a character that is distinguished among fiction. And jet chose Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Conan the Barbarian look, and bam! Simon, Christopher, and Trevor’s character look-a-like. 👀
You are a BEAST for uploading this...Thank you so much! One of my favorite video game soundtracks ever, and I never even played Castlevania III (don't tell anyone).
This soundtrack is so badass is slaps 2018 in the gut!
22:27-23:55 this is what plays in your mind when you're riding through a heavy rainstorm
Freaky! This is the version of Castlevania 3 that I played when I was a kid (still have the cart) but I never noticed just how jazzed up the music was. Must have been my crappy TV speakers.
dat polyphony
holy shit
sounds amazing
Thank you so much for posting this.
25:28 It's so divine... I love it! 😍
It made me cry at the time and it made me cry now.
Prelude is the best. 0:00
it sounds incredible in this version
I have loved the prelude track since I was old enough to enjoy music, fucking classic
19:24 truly a masterpiece
Great to see that someone caught the exact company I was pointing my crossers at when I made that description of modern AAA publishers.
Thank you for showcasing the superior Famicom version's OST just in time for Halloween!
Konami's staff were and still are amazing and were always on the frontier of bringing the highest quality visual and audio experiences on all consoles they develop for. They ALWAYS pushed the limits with great results every time!! Curse you Nintendo America for screwing us out of the extended audio pin connection access on the NES!! It still makes me a tad peeved when I think about it... LOL
I was wrong. In this "stereo style" The two extra channels DO sound better, (Particularly the bass channel) rather than sounding like speaker noise. Great Job! I will definitely be sharing this among my CV Circle.
Now all you need is Esper Dream II to complete this VRC6 awesomeness.
CV3 version soundtrack will always be my favorite, in part because the simplified instrumentation resulted in a more urgent, plaintive sound that for many tracks creates an intensity the more sophisticated Akumajou Densetsu orchestration sometimes lacks. However, the Akumajou version is still an incredible masterpiece. Box art tho...
Thanks m8. Awesome work.
I always wanted to fancy this up myself, but why bother when it's already been done so awesomely? Fantastic, sir, and thank you for using the FC music and not the NES... first time I heard this in an emulator, my jaw dropped.
Thank you for uploading both versions of this soundtrack, I adore Castlevania.
*Subscribes*
FANTASTIC! I love this soundtrack. 😍
Dat VRC6! I gotta get an AV Famicom, the Japanese version is definitely the definitive version of this game.
...Awesome! I've heard the Famicom Castlevania 3 soundtrack before, but this really kicks it up a notch.
chills man...
The beginning of Prelude sounds very similar to something Konami used for Metal Gear 2 for the MSX, which also has a phenomenal soundtrack.
May seem strange, but I love listening to this while cooking.
DPCM completely drowns out the triangle anyway. There's a reason why Sunsoft used bassline samples and used the triangle as the drum.
RIP Konami 1969-2015

@@bartek8309 Dude CN its still alive

Yeah but the good old CN is long dead, now there's only sh*t cartoons there
And i think that's what EmoPoodle meant with Konami dying, even thought they didn't die yet en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konami yeah they're still alive
Update
D*mn i learned that Konami no longer make games, so no remake of Akumajou Densetsu on modern consoles?
They make slots 🎰 machines

Demon Seed: BRUTAL
I just finished this game today (the Japanese version of it), and I really loved the soundtrack to death. I though you only uploaded the US version, but I am so glad I was wrong.
Oh, I can just kiss you for uploading this ;w;
best NES ost. clockwork is best track.
Good news, everyone! Grad1u5(2,3) has started uploading his old videos to alternate accounts that weren't taken down in the plunge. So go check those out when you get the chance.
This is tight as hell!
Famicon version is way better than the NES. This needs to be stated.
Agreed. As Retronauts put it in a recent episode on Castlevania 3's music, the soundtrack sounds like your classic chiptune on the NES, but the Famicom was mixing channels to try creating specific instruments like the harpsichord in some spots. In terms of technical execution, the Famicom is vastly superior.
However, I grew up with Castlevania 3 being one of my favorite games that I went back to regularly, so nostalgia wins in my book. For example, I like "Dead Beat" and "Rising" on the NES much more than the Famicom.
They both have their pros and cons
*Famicom
Triangle drums are a created by playing a tone on the triangle channel and rapidly decreasing its pitch. explod2A03 has an excellent video that explains the triangle drum.
ABSOLUTE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAMICOM DOES BEST!!!!!!!
I listen to your videos each day. It's really awesome, thank you.
(and btw I agree with SitarKnight, Lagrange Point would be nice ;D)
this sounds much better!
whip it
whip it
whip it good,
you gotta whip it
When a good time turns around
You must whip it
You will never live it down
Unless you whip it
No one gets away
Until they whip it
Whip it good!
WHIP LIKE THE BELMONTS! YEEAAHHH!!!!!!!!!
Definately the best version of the sound track. ^^
Listening to this with a Turtle Beach headset,.. OH MY GOD. Total eargasms all the way.
INCREDIBLE
Just for the first time completed the game with Grant. It made the endeavor surprisingly easy. I equipped him with the throwing axe (x3). That weapon has a pretty limited use but it's absolutely awesome in some fights. In the past games I've always partnered with Sypha or Alucard because they were cooler. Grant is the best choice after all-- great for skipping some messed up areas as well. Oh, and the soundtrack? Can't get enough of it.
Just out of curiosity, what do you think of Bloodstained Curse Of The Moon 1 & 2?
OMFG!!!! YAY!!!! ^.^ Akumajou Densetsu!!!!
that soundtrack is fuckin legendary and sounds sexy in stereo
Well the reason they did succeed back then was because of the freedom they gave developers. That was what made them awsome. It's just that as they continued to take more control over projects is the reason they're stuck with only 157 mil in the bank at the moment.
HNggggg yesssssss this is GLORIOUSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
I'm very happy you've posted the Famicom version of the soundtrack for Castlevania III, as I prefer the way it sounds versus the NES's sound chip. I love the Famicom version of the track Beginning at 1:54 as it has that extra oomph to it that is missing in the NES version, especially the beginning part.
Really sounds like the R Type title music at 4.48.
I like the sound of the triangle wave myself more than the sawtooth. In fact, listening to this on max volume and it sounds really messy and not-clear unlike the stock 2A03. Additionally, I believe the stock 5 channels are enough for a composer who knows what he's doing, and expanded audio just makes the video of the game look even more primitive by comparison. However, extra sound channels would be useful for sound effects and the like.
best Version''' Castlevania 3 is best of all Castlevania's!!!
Super Castlevania IV makes the case for that as well
I agree, CV3 blows the rest away!
Super Castlevania 4 was way too damn easy
Oh Really!? Was that too easy for ya huh..!?
Super Castlevania IV didn't offer much in the terms of challenge but the gameplay, presentation and the music are great. One of a kind stuff.
Hmm. Yeah, that's basically the conclusion I came to as well: Use triangle for low- to mid-frequency thumping sounds and such. I was having trouble making percussion tracks with just noise and no DPCM, and I was tired of trying to make triangle work in melodic/harmonic roles.
Eargasm!
Glorious
I see what you did there.
The triangle can work if you put some elbow grease into it. While rare, there are some games that use a Square+Triangle lead, such as Boy and his Blob, or some people like Hubbard use the triangle as a leading channel and use a square as a bass. I don't think Japanese composers did much with leading triangles, much less triangle harmonies.
It might be pretty underwhelming, but it sure was quite a versatile tool. I'm impressed with how loud Baldwin's basslines are, considering the triangle.
When I get my hands on the game Bloodborne, I'm playing this soundtrack while I play. :D
Roberto Rivera doesn't work D: Bloodborne is Cthulhu
Roberto Rivera I actually did that. Its very good and fun. Only problem is when the song runs out. XD. Play with the threaded cane, put on fire paper, and go kill some vilebloods of cainhurst as only a belmont can.
Excuse me. Did I claim to be an expert on NES audio? I merely mentioned that I've worked with it enough to identify what works and what sounds good based on my musical sense. I mostly do "demakes of VGM; I can send you a .nsf and maybe you can judge what my opinion is worth from that?
I don't object to the timbre of the triangle so much as I despise the lack of control over it. You have to mess with the DPCM counter to get it soft enough for mellow passages, and even then it sticks out.
The kukehei club,, ALL their stuff is good from top to bottom
while Bloody Tears is probably the greatest piece of Castlevania music ever written (though shoutout goes to the Waterfalls of Agartha from Lords of Shadow, believe it or not) Castlevania 3 probably had the overall most impressive soundtrack.
That song at 1:54 is so good. If the NES used the VRC6 chip for every soundtrack, that would be so awesome, BTW just a question, is it possible to do stereo soundtracks for other platforms other than NES or FC? I'm just curious.
I can do Game Boy and Master System/Game Gear, but that is all I can work with.
Kool Beanz :)
gotta love that extra sound channel in the famicom
Josh Johnson you you mean that extra sound chip in the cartridge
I've played aku 3 on the American nes and the sound doesn't work right only
on the famicom.it does u should try and ee what I'm talking about the
Japanese copies sound bad on an American nes
Oh man, I so wish you could do one of these for the game Lagrange Point on Famicom. I would love to hear some VRC 7 ^^
Ralph/Trevor Belmont for Smash bros!
Actually, there is the Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe CD, but it's more of a "greatest hits" than a full OST release of the Kirby Super Star Ultra (which would probably take up 3 CDS); but on the bright side, the tracks sound like 8BitStereo tracks!
Sounds A LOT better than the American NES version (programmed by Hidenori Maezawa). This one has an MSX-esque feeling in it..
While the Famicom version sounds fantastic, it just sounds WAY too convoluted with 4 square waves, one triangle (which is absent apparently) and one sawtooth. I'd agree with just the addition of the Sawtooth, which is a versatile instrument, but 2 more squares are kinda overkill.
It's funny you mention that. Ever since Capcom went down the shitter, I started thinking.
The 10 million versions of SF 2, Capcom fucking over the original visions of not just Keji inafune with the Megaman X series, but also Shinji mikami with the Resident evil series (Was suppoest to end at 3 originally), Ghouls & ghost's very structure of repearting the gane twice, the list goes on.
Capcom was always a crooked & manipulative company, it's just that back then developers had more power.
Amazing. If only PRGE had a damn famicom.
so i heard that most japaneese versions of nes games have a chip in there cartriges that allow improved sound "mostly the konami games with there vrc7 and vrc6 chips" is this true?
*Listens for three seconds* HOLY SHIT. SUBSCRIBE!
24:38 is dark and Divine. 🐈⬛🦇🕷🕸🦉💀🧛🏻🧛🏿♂️
Dat musik tho!
Hey, Wiiguy309, what program do you use for 8BitStereo? I'm kinda sorta trying to emulate the effect in Audacity...
Akumajó Dracula in Stereo, please! :)
Track at ~14:00 minutes matches a track from Shining Force 2. Same composer?
