Vampire Killer Stage 6 (Part 2) by beingthehero

[LordofDragns]

You can replace your whip in this game? Wut?

[Luigi84289]

@LordofDragns Yup and also the dagger is the best weapon in this game.

[Shr00b]

@Luigi84289

lol

[razorfett147]

I always thought it interesting that Drac was skeletal in this version.

[HamsterPants522]

@razorfett147 Well, historically speaking, many vampires were skeletal. There are illustrations of people staking skeletons in their coffins as was commonly practiced during the mass vampire hysteria of the 18th century.

[razorfett147]

@HamsterPants522 Which is precisely why I think it is so interesting that he's skeletal in this version, but in no other Castlevania episode.

[MarioJuniorBR]

Creepy level :O - DOM DOMDOM DOMDOM DOMDOM DOMDOM DOMDOM DOMDOM DOMDOM DOMDOM DOM (music) :D

[TheJacklopz]

Dracula, the exhibicionist.....

[monkeygod69]

I have this game but no system to play it on. This and haunted castle are the only castlevania games I haven't had a chance to play through and beat. wish they'd come out with them on nintendo wiiware or something.

[Gone1984]

I want this for christmas.

[MsGhoulz]

Wait, that skeleton was Dracula..?

[921144666]

This is PURE WIN!!!

[UchihaEnma]

use the whip!

[NICKREAPER316]

looks like horrible butchered, terribly low frames of animation port of one of my favorite games.....with bad music.

[Pyramidgod]

NES version was the port.

[NICKREAPER316]

@Pyramidgod well excuse me princess.

[JimHawkwind03411]

And to those who claim that Vampire Killer MSX was the very first CV game, this is where you fail.

The FDS version was released first in Japan (Sept. 1986), and the MSX version was released a month later. Thus, Castlevania was born on NES. End of story.

[Pyramidgod]

Release dates don't reflect development dates.

[JimHawkwind03411]

@Pyramidgod I would say that the FDS version was developed first, followed by the MSX version. I don't know what the development cycle for games was like at the time, but in the MSX credits, special thanks was given to the "FC. Team" (i.e., the developers of the FDS version).

FC Team = Famicom (Disk System) Team - at 7:43

[MFields2178]

I half expected Simon to yell something about VIGO! when he was fighting that painting of Dracula.

[ultrababeman]

BORING BOSS BATTLE!!

[sharaynishi]

wow, a VERY butchered port, but good anyways

[Bastiest]

Erh, butchered port?

Just in case you didn't notice, this game has lots of more shit in it than NES castlevania does.

You can't actually even compare these two games since they are so different in many ways.

Items, stages, weapons.

[sharaynishi]

the phrase butchered port, i meant that it DIFFERS ALOT FROM THE ORIGINAL :D

[Bastiest]

Well, I am not an expert but usually when someone says "butchered" it gives people an impression that it is missing a lot of stuff that should be there or it just doesn't work out by it's own way.

[sharaynishi]

ok, sorry  and thanks, now i will know the true meaning :D

[Doommarine23]

@sharaynishi If I remember right, the NES one was a port of this, or they were released at the same time.

[ZAPPSOFT]

I have seen Simon with black, yellow, blue and red hair, What is the deal, Coloring it between dracula battles to hide the grey?

[Bastiest]

He likes to be trendy.

[GMSpectre]

6:35 - Yeah, that didn't seem to work out did it.

[egxtra]

Maybe next time he should've, oh I don't know, KILL HIM?!

It took them until 1999 to finally figure out a way, and even then, the best they managed was send him back to hell(?)!

And this Simon puts him back to sleep?

Seriously?!

[redmage777]

The possessed portrait form is an interesting concept, that could have easily been adapted to the NES version. Action wise, It could actually be considered the precursor to Dracula's third form in Dracula's Curse. Both stationary targets at the top of the screen, which the player must dodge projectile while attempting get in a good position to hit...

[PsycoMikeo]

This came after the NES game, so the hopping bat beast thing from the NES had already been done. For this version/Remake they seemed to try something new.

[TheMoonwalker099]

LOL the man on the picture looks bit like E.Honda

[TailsSpain]

Great music, I really like the MSX soundtrack. Sadly the ending is not so great

[toxicitzi]

hm I like the castlevania Cookie monster better :D

[demonrage01]

Nothing really chanced over the years, because it's a brilliant concept. Most of the elements and enemies are still present in modern Castlevania games like those on the NDS.

[Boshi0]

I just noticed, Dracula is wearing nothing underneath that cape.

So when he's shooting those fireballs, he's basically flashing to Simon.

[chaosgreyblood]

@Boshi0

He's more like bones and shit, but yeah, I agree x_x

[ultimatemegadeath]

what was up with the dude in the lower corner holding the cane?

[Boshi0]

He's a merchant, you can buy items from him in the game.

[Borin81]

but you where kinda reckless with the dwarfs though.

[kucikastadas53]

lol dracula : HADUOKEN

[Doom2Guy]

More like Draculadouken, amirite?

[InShatteredMolds]

i love how its the music that part 1 picked up later, just speeded it up heh.

[Barbe]

At least I can see the Castlevania Games I never knew existed. :D

[baigandine]

Bland background but nice precursor to Simon's Quest

[malathis0]

This looks unique for it's time! I like the treasure chest idea; it's pretty much the only RPG concept not in the newer CV games.

[MasterBigode]

Dracula's head asplode

[Phovoz]

hahahaha it's looks sooooooo fucking funny xD

[Anemite]

the first Castlevania game was Vampire Killer for Arcadia

[Luigi84289]

Great game, I prefer to use the dagger on drac. though, it's more efficient, takes too long with da cross.

Tabuu man I don't know where you heard all that but it's complete bull. The Famicom version was first and two weeks later this version appeared on the msx in japan. Due to the MSX not doing that great in the US the game was never brought over. The two versions were created simultaneously. You can check the castlevania dungeon and mr p's castlevania realm if you would like proof.

[EricV1]

I expected Dracula to look different..instead he's a caped skeleton

[monkeygod69]

i have this game but no system to play it on.  how much is it worth?

[goodhamad]

Vampire Killer is first game !

not castlevania

and the game looks better than nes version

with sounds , colours and eveything

you can ask all MSX fans to be sure

[elperretebueno]

At 1:32... an inverted cross.

[burgles123]

Tnank you I have waited 20 years to see this one

[MDthornton83]

So this is the first Castlevania game. And this was only a year before the game that a lot of us American fans are familiar with. Amazing.

[NeoEveryhobby]

no,no,it´s the 2nd castlevania game,castlevania for NES was the 1st game

[tr1umph]

No, Castlevania for the Famicom Disk System was the first game.

[bubtehzombee]

CastleVania for the Famicom Disk System was just the NES game with brief loading screens.

[tr1umph]

So what? It's still released before the NES/Famicom version.

[Tabuu101]

No. VAMPIRE KILLER first apeared on the MSX system and it was such a hit in japan that it and the series was renamed castlevania and was put on the Famicom disk system and NES as more of an action game cause this game looks harder that the NES one cause you have some stratigy with keys pielled on top of the difficulty.

[tr1umph]

Why are you making things up? Castlevania was the first game in the series to be released and that's a fact. Your entire comment is full of lies.

[Tabuu101]

GO on google type in castlevania lore. go to games you will find a list of the games in order by years. VAMPIRE KILLER was made in 1986 and Castlevania on NES was made in 1987. Why would I make this up? I AM NOT LIEING!

[Tabuu101]

My mistake VAMPIRE KILLER was first released in North america before Castlevania. Castlevania was released in Japan first and Vampire killer second

[SonGOKUSSJ6]

That's true...Vampire Kiler WAS the first CV game...Even i was suprised about that.

[creepingshadow607]

Jeez imagine if this is how the rest of the sries went that would be nuts. wesome video by the way.
