Block 5a: Akumajou Densetsu (Castlevania 3) Music

[heerogunkenobi]

i think imo akumajou densetsu has the best soundtrack on any famicom game ever mario 3 soundtrack had nothing on this timeless masterpiece

Best track in the game, maybe in the whole series.

IT'S SO GOTHIC, I LOVE IT!!! The stage itself is so dark and surreal too, how can you compete with a Castle which is somehow shifting in space?

Best parts are 0:00 - 0:09, 0:29 - 0:59 I don't know why but I love the track restart!

Hearing the music is all the reason I need to remember why this game ranks in my top 5 NES games of all time. If any game tops it for me, it would be one of the Mega Mans, but that's only an if.

Gotta say I prefer the American version overall, but I'm perfectly willing to accept that it might have something to do with getting used to the Japanese versions.

Interesting Theme - and you never hear it again after you are through the Tower.

WoW, the NES is SOOO much better than this version it's literally not even close to debatable.

Listen to the NES version, it's FAR superior.

I like the NES version of this one more but still it sounds pretty good.

My favorite track, Rising! Never heard the Fami version until today, thanks. Although, I think the arpeggios sound better on the Nintendo version than the straight chords on this one. This is about the only track I can say I prefer the Nintendo version for.

"Rising"

I agree w/ you guys Castlevania 3 had the best music of ANY Nes -game, both quality and compositions themselves are timeless!

[Superfission]

Someone needs to make a good Castlevania tribute metal band and do every song from this game. DO IT NOW SOMEONE.

You may be interested in "Unchosen Paths," by goat. Covers all the music from CV3, as well as two medleys of all the CV1 and CV2 music.

No NES game comes close to this soundtrack.

The castlevania is the most timeless franchise of all consoles

[SuperDave341]

too bad this particular version of castlevania 3 was made in JAPS only.

This game had THE Best soundtrack of any nintendo game released. Pretty much every song is badass.
