The CV64 version had so much meaning behind it, due to the fact, it was Dracula playing it on the Title Screen...says a lot to play the theme of a guy who kicked your ass on violin lol #justsaying
Uhhh yeah. The only part that doesn't is outside the castle. Even in the AVGN's review (Which I know is the reason you don't think there is) you can hear music in the background during his nitro/mandragora rant (Which you can drop using the C-buttons).
I don't know why, but everytime I watch these videos and there are both a SNES and DS version of a track, I say "man the DS version of this track sounds like crap, the SNES version is waaaaaay better"
@countrybluegrass i was noy putting a game but the fact of the game time line dude becuse you play portrait of ruin and when you get to the point to make the whip power to full you fight the last belmont to hold it richter that is was i was stating no offence for the confusion
What? There's no game called Richter's Adventure and Rondo of Blood takes place in 1797, Symphony of the Night is a direct sequel to it and takes place several years later. Portrait of Ruin takes place in the 1940s and was released well over a decade after Rondo of Blood.
Rondo of Blood = 2nd best, this time the remake beat the original Dracula X = Best one. Symphony of the Night = Very evil, it's a boss battle anyway, but it's too much evil. Castlevania 64 = Very sad... Portrait of Ruin = 8bit with opera? But still great. Dracula X PSP Port = One of the bests. Rank> 1st-DraculaX Snes 2nd-Rondo of Blood 3rd-DraculaX PSP 4th-Portrait of Ruin 5th-Symphony of the Night 6th-Castlevania 64
@alissondownload Totally agree with you on the best one it has certai air of encouragement asking you continue on the other hand i hated the Portrait of ruin version
@ViosKiller Duh. You are fighting an Evil Richter with his mind under the control of Shaft. So naturally, his theme also becomes warped and slightly evil sounding.
This theme has somehow a megaman X feeling, mainly the Dracula's X PSP version. The one from 64 feels like TLoZ: OoT, while the rest had that Castlevania touch, convined with X feeling.
Dracula X SNES is the best for a stage, even though game was mostly inferior. The others seem inappropriate for Richter fighting his way through his burning village.
SOTN is the best for a boss fight. It's almost recognizable at points, with Richter's heroic theme creeping through here and there. I think that's the point, given his condition at the time.
You missed the COTM version, but it's just a vastly inferior recreation of the 64 one. Barely worth mentioning.
I can agree that the SNES version kicks most of the others out of the water. Even the 64 one. I just think it deserves props for being as good as it is, considering the game its in.
Morris: I was looking around the corner, then Richter popped up with his hand cocked back. And he was all like, "Johnny Morris!" Punched me right in the face.
Richter: Cocaine is a hell of a drug...heh heh...
@wierdnick I do. The first one I owned as a kid was "Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse". A great game, but it was a relentless one. Also, "Super Castlevania IV" was also a favorite of mine that recommend to anybody.
What really sucks butt is that us gamers here in the states didn't get the original version of "Rondo of Blood" until over ten years later.
@wierdnick listen I'm 15, my first castlevania game was COTM, I looked up castlevania and here I am 5 years later with emulators of the NES, 64, Genesis an Game boy/colour/advance. All Dedicated to CV
@martooxxx Yeah, I'm just extravagating :P. seriously, though, Richter is a badass and is my favorite Belmont, followed by good ole Simon ( he also has an awesome theme ), and a toss-up between Julius and Trevor....
Y'knoe what? Belmont are in general huge badasses, if your last name is Belmont, you are automatically cool. But Richter is awesome even by Belmont standards1
@01creativenamehere10 During the intro cinematic, you see a young child playing the theme on a violin. The child is later revealed to be Dracula in disguise.
I know it sounds corrupted as all hell, but I like SotN's mix of this theme.
It's like the composer gave off the feel that even though you're fighting a Richter that's not under his own control, you can feel that there's still something inside that's trying to fight the evil that's possessed his body. As Alucard struggles to defeat Richter (or rescue, depending on your ending choice), so too does Richter struggle with himself.
@LashSB When I first played Symphony and that song started, I was like "WTF is this?!" But once that little riff kicked in @ 3:37, it gave me goosebumps, because I felt just like you said.
