Best VGM 272 - Castlevania: Dracula X - Beginning (Stage 6)

[pollotierrez]

this version is better than the rondo version, that one was too much disco

[moccamonster]

hur dur bandwagon new games suck

[AliceinNirvanagarden]

Snes adds a cool techno vibe ;P

[Tekkame]

What is a song? A miserable little sequence of sounds! But enough parody, dance at you!

[Jazzypants2007]

Is it weird that I actually find this BETTER than the Rondo of Blood version? O.o

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

@Jazzypants2007 Not really. I feel the same way.

[RandyPantheGoatBoy]

@Jazzypants2007 Me too.  I think it's because the somewhat less advanced audio technology works better with the sort of techno sound.

[sinituuke]

Boy, this is even funkier than Michiru Yamane's jazz remix of the theme.

[soontobefamous11]

people rondo of blood and dracula x are different games the japanese version of this game is called vampire kiss the only similarities are the cover and characters

[Supermariofan14]

Is this a good Castlevania game? Better than Super Casltevania 4?

[vio2112]

@Supermariofan14 It's a good game, but in the end it's an inferior remake of Rondo of Blood on the PC Engine(turbografx-16 here in the states). If you have a Wii, go download Rondo of Blood on the Virtual Console immediately. It's only 9 bucks and worth every penny.

And no, this game isn't even in the same league as Super Castlevania 4, but I consider Castlevania 4 to be the best Castlevania ever made.

[mamonsin]

@vio2112 Actually I liked this game better than super castlevania 4. only because of the music.

[MattT1996]

This has got to be my most favorite version of the Beginning.

[Deibodese]

0:26-0:41

The Fresh Prince of Dracula?

[Cyberleader12]

sounds like metroid

[BenMartorana]

@Cyberleader12

God your right. Super metroid at beginning

[Cyberleader12]

yeah and there are also some elements I noticed during the other parts.

[gladeplugins]

Reminds me of Inspector Gadget at a few parts. Yeah, I said it.

[Ghettoflame1]

The chorus reminds me of Michael Jackson's Thriller.

[daron51]

Interesting note, this one is one of the few versions written in a different key;C minor

[gimpy666420]

no hes just holding his fist up like a bad ass mofo!!i mean when u hear thunder and see lightning doesnt it make u want to hold your fist up and curse whatever damn thing u want..like dracula?

[smithcm14]

Hands down best version of this song!

[Gigaman11]

I like this music just like your Top Gear music.

[tenebnaes]

haha top gear music was awsome

[Gigaman11]

You got that right!

[agaifi]

His left hand... He looks like he's holding a cross, except he's not... o_O

[bushwhacker2k]

It certainly appears he's supposed to be holding something :O

[MastaGambit]

Le'gasp! Maybe they removed the cross for religious reasons! =O

[Michelle2815CV]

wow I see that actully DoS's remix is based on this one. One great arrangement

[Ehal256]

haven't played the pc-engine version i see?  :P

[DieuLeVeritable]

J'préfère la version Begining FDS

[TenguGuy]

You just dont see good shit like this anymore! I would soooo rather have good music than good graphics!

[Gohauld]

@TenguGuy amen!

[pollotierrez]

@TenguGuy and thats why call of duty modern warfare SUCKS

[johannhowitzer]

@TenguGuy Andrew Fletcher once said, "let me make the songs of a nation and I care not who makes its laws." He did not say this about art.

[madamminalost]

Did they remix this for Portrait of Ruin?

(er, Castlevania Noob)

[OgnarPliskin]

Beginning is not in Portrait. It's in Castlevania III, Super Castlevania IV, Bloodlines, Rondo/Dracula X, Dawn of Sorrow, and Judgment.

[ProRevHunter3]

the first castlevania that starts it the belmot legend is lament of innocence cuz leon or w/e his name is'is the first belmont look it up and leons frien becomes dracula

[OgnarPliskin]

What the hell are you talking about? I'm making a correction on music and you're trying to give me a lecture on the history of Castlevania.

[ProRevHunter3]

sorry i share a account with a friend im sorry for him lecturing you =/

[marzil]

love this song. they just don't put effort in music like they used to. Good graphics does not constitute a good game. Love this song, but damn the level was hard.

[Kefka44]

This on sounds so much better than Bloodlines' arrangement

[Castortroyy]

Classic remake of a classic theme.

Classic^2.

[Toomnyusernae]

classic.

[Charles1096]

This reminds me of the Inspector Gadget. Still awesome though!

[Kenanee]

Groovy!

[SchlossRitter]

Another classic NES tune remixed for the 16-bit era, nice.

[superstatguy]

This song is originally from Castlevania 3, but I can see that you do enjoy this version more.

[SupraDarky]

Oh don't think that I automatically do! I absolutely love Castlevania music so don't be suprised if other versions appear in the list.

[Sephiko]

I haven't heard SC 4's version, but I like the way this one sounds.

[pianoguy222]

In all honesty, I prefer the version from SCV IV. This sounds a little too... hip-hopish.

[QuikquikMcSliq]

It's like Castlevania meets Thriller.

[NessDark]

@QuikquikMcSliq yeah, i was thinking.. "mhmm.. this could as well have been composed by michael jackson"

[Plantazm005]

@QuikquikMcSliq More like NES meets SNES. :)
