[P4W3R]

So spanish feeling xD in an arabic tune!!!

[evilloke]

Yay for King's Valley II

[guaskoqizz]

Who's that? (The picture) Who's he?

[Ganall]

@guaskoqizz Brauner, the main villain for most of the game.

Though it was my least favorite DS CV, it had some amazing music.

[Honatuto]

THERE it is <3

[TheFrenchGuy]

I wonder what music will you choose to be your 666th best VGM...

[assgoblin2damax]

@TheFrenchGuy I predict a song from Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, or any Shin Megami Tensei series/spinoff for number 666, lol.

[drunyon214]

So which Castlevania on the DS had the best soundtrack? I'm leaning towards Dawn of Sorrow, but with songs like this, Portrait of Ruin is hard to beat!

[SonicTheHedgehog17]

This is simply awesome!

[AlphaBlast]

Classic!!!

[beastman93FZero]

Pretty sure that PoR was my favorite Castlevania of them all. Just perfect imo :)

[Doomsdaywarrior]

Thanks for uploading more CV!

[Luigi84289]

@WardogBLacky I agree with your stance on OOE the gameplay is starting to get repetitive. I'd like to see an original old school style player 1 has one skill level the entire game again.

[Luigi84289]

It's good but this has never sounded dark and foreboding to me like most Castlevania music sounds.

[fredrikpedersen]

Hai bhak shao

[Masz52]

DoS is still the only DS game I have. I need to get the others already.

[diamondlancer]

Catchy! :D

[BuyMeThingsnow]

Good choice but still need moar "the hidden curse"

[bregowine]

99% of the Castlevania games have amazing soundtracks... Thank you for making it that way Konami

[VSHDVideos]

@bregowine What's the 1%?

[bregowine]

@VSHDVideos I can't say 100% because I don't know them all. Good God, even Castlevania Adventure for the Gameboy had a great soundtrack. Just listen to the Stage 1 tune...

[VSHDVideos]

@bregowine Ah, that makes sense. I haven't played nearly all of them, but none of the soundtracks have disappointed me yet.

[MrSolracvstheWorld]

@bregowine If I'm not mistaken, you are talking about "Battle of the Holy" :) Epic tune! :D

[bushwhacker2k]

@VSHDVideos I was wondering that myself... wasn't aware there were 100+ Castlevania games :D

[CrimsonCrescentXVII]

@bregowine and so does the background stories, but the new ones kinda turn it's back to the original series

[DizzyPika]

No Crucifix Held Close yet? I am dissapoint.

[bendermeister]

CV Music rocks ^^

[Luigi84289]

@gathimest There are better than SOTN. It's easy and very long and drawn out. CV3, the original and SCIV are all way better games.

[gathimest]

@Luigi84289 You can't appreciate greatness.

[gathimest]

@gathimest LOL at all the thumb downs, wtf is wrong with you people? let me guess, you think Alucard is too girly for you, you only play games that mimic western crap? Simon Belmont looked like shit before Ayami Kojima fixed his design, gtfo with that shit. Soma is a little bastard, i know alot of ppl like him too. Trevor isn't important, Alucard is the best character, deal with it chumps.

[DracXBelmont]

@gathimest Lulz. It's your opinion sure, but just because it is YOUR opinion doesn't mean that it's right. In your opinion Alucard is the best character, that's perfectly fine. But don't force it down people's throat, jerk.

[gathimest]

@DracXBelmont I'm pretty much just kidding, I do think Alucard is the best but there are alot of other cool characters in Castlevania, There really aren't any bad ones though. I absolutely hate Simon's original conan the barbarian design that was localized in the 80s because at the time Japanese character designs were really alien to Americans, that's really the only think I hate about Castlevania but that was fixed in the 90s when they hired Ayami Kojima who is just A BEAST of an artist.

[DracXBelmont]

@gathimest The U.S artwork for Simon Belmont is the same as the original Japanese, not much changed, so it's not an issue of localization or Japanese character designs being foreign to Americans in the 80's...except for Mega Man.

[gathimest]

@DracXBelmont yeah what they did to Mega Man was fucked up

[DracXBelmont]

@gathimest Around the third game though they caught on.

[gathimest]

@DracXBelmont lol did you see the American boxart for Streets of Rage and other games, I don't understand why people here were so negative against the foreign boxart, especially when kung fu films were mainstream in the 80s.

[DracXBelmont]

@gathimest I have. But in retrospect, I guess you really can't complain. I miss drawn box-art, instead of renders. Makes me sad.

[orihinovic2zo6]

@DracXBelmont Jonathan is the best :P LOL just a joke no way he is ... :P !!

[kaiserzero61]

@gathimest

You're one funny guy. LOL

Trevor's a punk HAHA

[pianoguy222]

Ever since I saw you add "Hail to the Past," I've been waiting for you to add this one as well.

[kaiserzero61]

In which area did this play?

[agaifi]

The second desert area (after you get into the "ruins area")

[Sephiko]

I agree, this was my fave out of the three.
