The Music of Video Games [269] Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

[Locomamonk]

wow, your video descriptions are excellent!!

[megamanestuna]

I know that Town!! it's from "Castlevania II Simon Quest" right?

[RookFrjosa]

...so Ryu is also a Vampire slayer?

...and Christian??

[darealjoff19]

dude you suck at this game. im mediocre at it but even IM better than this.

[tiagobahu]

Stage 4b music is awesome...

[juvienile66]

which belmont is in this game? so many of them

[Ollie7475]

@juvienile66, Richter Belmont.

[sybnios]

Possible the best Castlevania ever with the hard "competitor" Dracula X for SEGA Saturn or Symphony of the Night for PS.

[theforeshadower]

I personally prefer Dracula X/Vampires Kiss on the SNES

[masterkinggannondorf]

Los arreglos de las canciones para esta versión del juego son únicos.

[NightDragon2383]

They REALLY need to put this game on the Wii's Virtual Console... we've already got the awesome Ys Book I & II from the Turbo CD, and this game has very little Japanese text so it would be a perfect import game!

[Firebomber7]

It's been on the VC for over a year now. I know because I downloaded it. 900yen I think.

[NightDragon2383]

Ah i see... unfortunately I live in the US so I can't download it, but we've gotten Japanese import releases on the VC like Sin and Punishment before, so here's hoping that Rondo of Blood will make its way to the VC in western markets.

[KrazyScruffy9001]

They recently announced this version of Rondo of Blood for the American VC! They just don't have a release date at the moment though.

[GoldenJoe]

Badass looking game.

[Raligard]

Only the best Castlevania sound track ever. I also have all tracks from the original CD except the voice tracks posted on my profile. Please feel free to drop in and listen to any of them.

[MasterBelmont]

Epic game with amazing music. What more could you want?

[pawel1818]

This is a Ritcher, Stylized in Anime :D

[HadoukenMaster1]

I didn't know Ryu was in Castlevania. They should have called it Castlevania: Ryu of Blood. I know it dosen't make any sence, just my idea.

[ZEROELPOETA]

Where can I find this soundtrack?

[spacexploder]

those are really big horses.

[ShogunDaitokuji]

The PSP compilation of this game is a beautiful thing. The best part about it is the ability to play the original game with this score.

[metalpsips]

Vampire Killer all the way!!!

[Tabuu101]

Ryu is a Belmont? XD

[Triforcedemon911]

Thats his Job XD

[dvp89]

He can kill Darcula with a Hadouken. *0*

[GypsyRed]

WOOOOO!! I was waiting for this! Rondo of Blood was my first ever exposure to what started my love for Castlevania... most ESPECIALLY its music. I suck balls when it comes to playing them, but the series soundtracks have a huge place in my heart.

When it comes to Rondo, my fave songs are "Bloody Tears" (6:17), "Cross a Fear" and "Picture of the Ghost Ship". The first appearance of "Dance of Illusion" is the most splendid version to this very day.

LONG LIVE CASTLEVANIA!!!

[AlucardsQuest]

In this instance I have a sound team list from the credits... Akirohito, Mikio Saitou, Sanoppi & Metal Yuki.

[garudoh]

Did I mention before that you're awesome for helping me out with these? Anyway, you are. Thanks bro.

[AlucardsQuest]

Some of those people might just be responsible for sound effects, but I can't know for sure. I've seen one listing on Gamefaqs that puts all the credit on Mikio Saitou, but that source had many errors.

[garudoh]

Bah, your credits are good enough for me man.

[akumavsguile]

wow who knew camillia was an lesbian vampire

[GypsyRed]

Go and read Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu. It's all in there.

[TheDrunkenCelt]

So you play as Ryu in this one eh? hmm

[GypsyRed]

Honestly, I thought the same thing when I first saw Richter. lol.

[Arrowdance]

This game is better than the version of PSP!

Obviously, because the original always will be better than the new versions.

[jcapsel85]

my favorite Castlevania Soundtrack. Probably the best soundtrack i have ever heard in my life. Castlevania music rocks.

[deskawa]

Graphics and music aside, I can't see why this game is so well considered. Anyway, I came to say that the music was composed by the Konami Kukeiha Club and not Kukeiha Club. The latest one was more or less Konami's arrangement team. You can take a look at the wikipedia ;)

[garudoh]

Thanks for the info man, updated the video.

[jigenbakuda]

Oh yea forgot to mention ricther kicks all type of ass, he owns you and you fucking know it! Bow before him.

[jigenbakuda]

castlevania music = WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

castlevania music is too good, legenary imo...

I order you to import the new castlevania game and struggle through it just for the music! I will :)

[Markell1991]

Best Castlevania music, apart from SC4 and SotN.

[Teabonesteak]

I like the remade music from super castlevania. That music was awesome too!
