This game was released in Europe as "Castlevania: The New Generation" is also has more changes than the USA and Japanese versions..
if you think so heck I might think so too.
JP: Blood
USA: Blood
EU: Water
Come on, USA! Change the color to Green! That way the kids won't tell what the JP version looks like!
@@gochem3013 How could they diss the Xbox version like that 😆

They is plural. He is singular neutral.
It’s been this way for centuries.
If you want to see appreciable differences in content, compare the US or the JP version to the European version. One change I know of right away is blood turned to water. Another comparison that would be good is Super Castlevania IV US (or Eu) vs JP.
Other differences are:
- Eric Lecarde's death animation doesn't have him impaled by his own spear
- Global difficulty is in between US & JP versions
- You have to fight every sub-boss, no matter which difficulty you choose (US version's Easy mode skips several sub-bosses)
- The zombies' blood is green
- You can't stomp agonizing crows by walking over them after striking them (Level 1 only, doesn't happen everytime in the US version.)
- The hanging corpses have been removed (Level 1)
- Blood drops dripping from the ceilings are removed. (Level 1 & Level 6)
- The blood on the Minotaurs' weapons has been removed
- The blood fountain doesn't turn bloody (Level 5)
The EU-Version is called "Castlevania - The New Generation". It has much less violence compared to the JP and US Version. Cause in Europe the 90s were not a good time for Gamers. Everything was censored, caused of (in my opinion - morbid extent of) fears, that violent games can have a bad influence on the gamers. this resulted in the following in Castlevania - The New Generation:
- The name has been changed to "The New Generation" instead of "Bloodlines"
- The Titlescreen showes water instead of blood
- In much sprites the bloodcolor has been changed all over the game
- Some Animations has been changed to make the game less violent. For example: If eric dies, he just falls to the ground and his spear just falls away, instead of onto eric.
And i think there is much more - just told the changes i was worried about, when i first played bloodlines - i loved the new generation before, but now i dislike it for the changes, still love the gameplay.
Jugdjay: Yes, i can confirm that, except one thing: I think in Lvl 5 is a subboss, u dont get in easy mode in the EU-Version. And in Lvl 4 there is no frankenstein u have to fight. Im not very sure, but i think so.
Well, I don't know where in Europe you come from or where you got the info about everything being censored regarding video games in the 90's, but I can tell you I live in Europe, and it was mostly US games that got the most censorship back then and even today (The Witcher, for example), especially when it came to scenes of nudity, partial or total. Some countries in Europe got some censorship, yes, but that was the UK and Germany only.
I live in Germany. so, i think everything is said. ;)
Besides the title screens. I don't see a difference here.
eric looks like a woman in intro
Also, Vampire Killer is much easier than Castlevania Bloodlines:
- Infinite continues
- Less ennemies
- Most sub-bosses are skipped (Easy mode)
- No trap cards against Death (Easy mode)
Instead of showing the next level's password each time you finish a level, it's shown when you get a game over and decide to stop. And you get to see the full ending no matter which difficulty you're playing at.
*****
Maybe because you're playing it on Easy mode.
^^ when you say "maybe" it only implies that you haven't a fucking clue lol!
Incessant Wake
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm right.
Prácticamente la unica diferencia es el título principal, y el aspecto femenino de Erick en la versión Japonesa. Por lo demás sin idénticos creo. Las verdaderas diferencias se observan cuando los comparamos con la versión Europea, en la cual no hay sangre, algunas plataformas son de tamaño mas pequeño y algunas armas no están en los mismos lugares.
I love channels like this. Juxtaposing is great. I subbed
There is another version : the european PAL version. It's called Castelvania : The New Generation
And it sucks
@@itadapeeza8559 what you on it’s exactly the same dude
@@danielcutter8848 I don't mean the gameplay sucks I just meant it sucks that they censored it, removing blood, Gore and toning down the atmosphere. I would much much rather play the original uncensored version 👍
@@itadapeeza8559 ah excuse me for jumping the gun there haha yeah i agree with you I hate it when the censer stuff too we British enjoy mature content as mutch as any other country it’s stupid
@@danielcutter8848 it actually wasn't to do with us brits... It was Germany obviously we get the same games across Europe and in the 90s any game censoring was usually due to Germany strict rules against violence and gore in video games. Those rules have changed nowadays
The graphics were dope on this game
There were a couple nice special effects but the game was ugly
@@gc3k How is this ugly?
How is it not
@@gc3k art is subjective
@@georgeboultadakis2215 art is subjective
The Gore, Bossfights (Water doesn´t rise in Stage 2) and Backgrounds are different in the EU New Generation Version. Even some normal Enemies are missing.
Esse Castlevania é muito bom, eu aluguei muito na época.
streets of rage 3 and bare knuckle 3 regional differences!
the full moon at 6:00 is epic
I've never seen a moon so full.
Its unusually a crescent moon, full moon is a nice change. Be cool to see moon change as the stages go on to show days gone by.
EN:Em....there should be also European Mega Drive in compression.
PL:Eee....też powinienem być Mega Drive Europejski w porównaniu.
great!
Pretty much the same, the only differences are in the intro and the title screen. And apparently there's no password system in Vampire Killer. Eric is really beautiful, shame they changed his look for the western release.
In the west, they began their less rugged, more anime trend to appeal to children so it'd sell more copies on the DS - story and characters be damned. I personally prefer the old, gothic, barbarian theme. Aside from it being more interesting, it actually fit the story. I could give less than a fuck if the dudes look "beautiful".
Joguei muito este jogo a versão japa do Vampire Killer o Eric era meu personagem favorito neste jogo! Nossa Marota você tem uma coleção de consoles de regiões diferentes (pois você disse que faz sempre game plays no hardware original)? E você sabe japonês? E também jogar Mahjong (sobre o Mahjong é que eu vi você jogando aquele jogo deste estilo e ate que você tava jogando bem aí surgiu a duvida, pois é raro ver ocidentais jogando aquilo ou pelo menos sabendo como se joga)? Desculpa a montanha de perguntas.
yes the blood red is identical to USA's also in Japanese's but the design of that work is different.
Notei que tem em uma parte na das caverinhas do chão 4:04 é diferente , na japa tem uma a menos. Outra coisa é que na versão japa só aparece o password quando você não continua o jogo. Fora isso achei bem parecidos . Engraçado que apesar de ser a versão japa o texto esta em inglês.
+Alan Schettini O cabelo e rosto do Eric são diferentes como é possível notar aos 1:00 minutos. Tem a aparência andrógena no japonês enquanto no americano tem feições mais masculinas.
+Alan Schettini Uma outra diferença (além da que Fernando Junior citou) é na A.I. dos chefes, que se comportam de forma diferente entre as versões :P
Mas confesso que nessa 2 diferenças que notou (da caveira, e do password aparecer somente quando morre na versão jp) eu não tinha notado, achava q não tinha tela de tela de password na versão jp :P
+Fernando Junior Verdade, vim perceber depois quando o canal vc decide comentou a baixo.
+Canal Vc Decide não tinha notado isso da A.I , uma outra coisa que pode ser que mude com o decorrer do jogo é o damage tirado tanto dos inimigos quanto dos personagens. Fica de dever de casa pra conferirmos, pois é bem comum entre as versões de castlevanias.
+Alan Schettini Uma outra coisa diferente que esqueci de mencionar, é o nome do cara do chicote nas duas versões, na versão americana ele se chama John Morris, e na versão Japonesa ele se chama Jonnhy Morris, pode ser visto em 1:29 xD
Nem sabia que tinha saido Castlevania no Mega Drive... lançaram mais para esse console?
Sinceramente nao vi diferença (cego), unica coisa que reparei foi o nome genérico que colocaram na versao nipônica. Essa mudança foi relacionado a direitos autorais? Obs: A capa japonesa é sugoi!
Te perguntar, você usa console ou emuladores para fazer as comparações?
+Rodrigo Ferreira Esse é o único, e ver em 1:00, e minhas comparações são 100 % baseadas e pautadas nos hardwares originais =P
+Canal Vc Decide Verdade a expressão do Eric Lecard esta bem diferente.
Não posso afirmar, mas possivelmente a Konami não queria causar um mal estar com a Nintendo, até porque essa empresa dominava boa parte da venda de consoles no japão e costumava ser muito rigida em relação aos seus contratos de negócio. Além de que no ano seguinte ao lançamento de "Vampire Killer" foi lançado o "Vampire Kiss" (Dracula X no japão) para o Super Nintendo.
I noticed that Eric Lacarde's hair is different in the intros
Do you have unlimited continues in the Japanese version?
Was the hardware different? Is it just me or is the breaking glass at the first sub-boss causing the Bloodlines to slow down but not Vampire Killer? 3:32
Bloodlines (US) had 11 windows break, Vampire Killer (JP) only 6 broke. So this is either a random number of windows break each time or they lowered the number to stop the slowdown.
Pretty much no difference between the two - aside from the release region.
1:00 the second characters face has been masculanized in the US version.
me parece que a versão americana bloodlines é mais difícil e traz mais elementos como aquela medusa na parte da água, e mais caveiras, vc não acha isso Canal Vc Decide?
?
+Lucas Silvestre não sei dizer qual versão é mais difícil, mas talvez seja a versão americana.
I just realised alot of the sound assets were re used for castlevania the adventure rebirth
god I want to play this game sooooo bad btw lmao
castlevania collection switch xbox ps4
megajago990 this comment was made before the collection. But yeah I love the game now
consegui comprar a versão japonesa original, é um jogo lendário ...
It would have been better if you actually tell or highlight what the deference are between the two versions.
Eu considero esse Castlevania como um dos melhores jogos do Mega Drive.
There are some differences in the JPN version, but they're spread out across the game. For example:
- Some bosses have less health such as Elizabeth taking 5 hits instead of around 9
- No Medusa heads in the room with the spinning gears of stage 4
- The winged demons that appear when you're jumping up the floating platforms in stage 3 no longer circle and charge you
- Infinite continues
Most of them are minor changes, but just enough to make the JPN version feel like the balanced one.
The American versions of Japanese titles were typically made harder. Japan didn't have a video game home rental industry like the US. Japan rentals tended to be software/rom swapping services, while the US used physical hardware which resulted in less sales in the US market.
They hoped that by making American titles harder, consumers would be more frustrated with a title and want to purchase it instead of just renting and beating it.
It's the same game tho different name cool tho had it for Sega back in the 90$ and still got it in the Attic boxed away
Basically identical?
It should read Genesis on the left side and MD on the right. Other than that minor nitpick, perfect as always.
good
eu joguei só a versao americana, pela primeira fase nao vi diferença, mas o nome vampire killer eh bem mais badass, a trilha sonora desse jogo eh muito foda, apesar da konami fazer jogos na ma vontade pro mega, eu ainda acho esse um dos melhores castlevania. so perdendo pro 4 e pro simphony of the night
+ChuckNorris Confusao a compositora desse castlevania é a mesma do simphony of the night :), por isso a qualidade da composição. :D e quanto ao nome, concordo com vc, mas é um pecado um jogo do castlevania não ter o nome castlevania =P
O titulo Vampire Killer é anterior até Castlevania ocidental NES 1987 , foi laçado depois ao Akumajo Dracula do FDS do famicom
Vampire killer saiu no msx que era um sistema de computador bem popular no japao. europa e brasil.
ChuckNorris Confusao não entendi essa treta da Konami com a Sega. Explique aí.
@@mjfilho33 Não era exatamente com a Sega, e sim com a Nintendo. Durante muitos anos a Konami tinha um contrato de longa vida com esta empresa e a Nintendo sempre foi muito rígida em relação aos seus contratos de negócio. Creio que pra não causar um mal estar entre as empresas, a Konami fazia jogos com o mesmo título para SNES e Mega Drive, mas totalmente diferentes na jogabilidade, enredo, itens, etc.
Os exemplos são as versões de Tiny Toon, Animaniacs, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, e o próprio Castlevania para os consoles da Big N e a SEGA.
De que adianta lançar jogo no Japão em inglês? Seria a mesma coisa que lançarem um jogo aqui em japonês
3:37 - foi uma coincidência a versão japonesa não ter slowdown?
A versão japonesa tem o blast processing, a americana não xD
And in intro , the blonde girl looks bigger on right side .
The main difference is a few hundread dollars difference in price :p
biggest region difference....vampire killer costs upwards of 500 USD :(
Why does the md version cost a fortune?
The japanese version is ridiculously expensive.
A única diferença que eu vi foi a do título, estranho que até a versão jap tem textos em inglês tbm. Kkkk
Where is the European version ?
It sucks. :)
@@loveandrockets4life Damn you
@@gochem3013 haha. i just call 'em like i see 'em. :P
A mudança maior é na Versão Européia né.
Thr one time America gets the best version no cencoring here for the USA we got all the gore sorry Europe
Mmm no veo ni una diferencia :(
the original version is always the best...
1:01 ahahahha wth yankees did to his face?
I think Johnny Morris sounds better
jogo japonês com texto inglês, ta serto Konami
This game has better music than any SNES game.
This doesn't even have better music than SCIV...it's not bad at all but just... different aesthetic
Exatamente iguais
Tem diferenças sutis. Expressão feminina de Eric, bosses com AI diferentes e dizem que a versão americana é um pouco mais difícil.
Nossa a diferenca que eu vi foi que a versao japonesa e cara pra por**.
Son iguales
Better use the European version. It is more censored.
Anyway, love your channel, keep up the good work 👍🏻
+peristrojka :)
jogo empatado
они одинаковые
Son iguales.
The SNES port of Rondo of Blood, renamed Dracula X, was absolutely butchered. The only people who defend it are Nintendo fanboys who've never played the PC Engine original. It's complete garbage.
Have beaten both, I think Rondo is indeed better, but still think CVX is decent. Rondo has more paths, which is nice, and I guess Maria was cool, but no. Saying CVX is bad is just plain wrong. Far superior to CVIV anyway... (not saying much). Rondo definitely has its own issues though. TG16 sound effects are god awful, Dracula fight is way too simple, effects in stage 1 are far inferior to those in stage 1 SNES. Could go on and on.
AtariBorn that is a nonsensical comment. Rondo is better but the Snes version is still a great title.
John Jameson it is a very enjoyable game. I own both and enjoy both.
Daily reminder that Castlevania X is not a port.
Allison F Just keep telling yourself that.
Ok now this is pathetic gameplay, there at the first stage and yet they don't even have full health, hell I can beat the first stage EASILY without hardly ever losing any health at all, I know it isn't supposed to be professional gameplay but AT LEAST try not to get hit so many times and it's simple also to there shouldn't be any problems with it
This just shows off that this younger generation is to impatient with these types of games, hell even when I was a kid I didn't charge right in this, and who dies from the first boss?! The only people that I can understand is the people who haven't even herd of this
Unsubscribing, a comment section should be a place where everybody can understand and read what someone is writing instead of spamming the whole comment section with spanish or whatever.

We don't need your racist comments anyway, so unsub and fuck off. And by the way. They aren't speaking spanish. It's portuguese.
