Dracula X - Stage 1 - Bloodlines

[Turpakiisseli]

powerlines

[JohnGreasyGamer]

Does "Rumble Roses XXX" class as a good game, because it has "X" in the title thrice?

[DartUchiha]

@JohnGreasyGamer wait. I thought it was called Rumble Roses XX?

[JohnGreasyGamer]

@DartUchiha Probably. Still, it has 2 x's and I'm not sure if it's a good game or not either way. It's still kinky lesbian catfighting anyway.

[DartUchiha]

@JohnGreasyGamer that's the only reason why I'd play it. I don't figure why not. I'm a guy and I have no girlfriend, so that almost sounds like the perfect game for me. but don't get me wrong, I plan on getting a girlfriend sometime soon.

[JohnGreasyGamer]

@DartUchiha Hehe, good luck with it then ^^

[JohnGreasyGamer]

When I first heard this on my emulator, I thought it was a fanmade remix - I guess not! An excellent rework of the original Castlevania games! ^^

[HeadBangerArtist]

street fighter X , Doom X ,Duke Nukem X ,Mortal Kombat X ,Halo X ,Super Mario Bros X Lol

[DukeOnkled]

The SNES was awesome, had awesome games with awesome music.

[FinnLink20]

Sweet Soundtrack!

[MrKogasho]

I <3 the slap bass at the beginning of the song an throughout...

[Apemopo]

@MrKogasho there's no slap bass here.

[DukeOnkled]

@Apemopo

You know what he means, whatever it is.

[Apemopo]

@DukeOnkled fuck you duke onkled!

[norris3942]

[harukun]

This ain't too bad, but it's no Bloodlines from Rondo of Blood. :b

[maverickhunterdelta]

[charmy97]

After playing The Real rondo of blood................I like his song.............but its kinds bucthcard

[ImmaGeneralBlue]

@charmy97

What does "bucthcard" mean?

[charmy97]

@ImmaGeneralBlue It means it is brought down in quality than the original

[ImmaGeneralBlue]

@charmy97

Oh, I think you mean "butchered".

[charmy97]

[RestInPeaceBruceLee]

Dracula X?

The original name is Vampires Kiss.

[psycholink44]

@RestInPeaceBruceLee Dracula X is the usa versions name. Vampire Kiss is europes.

[RestInPeaceBruceLee]

@psycholink44 How the fuck did I get the european one.....

[jackygta4]

This version is the best！

[AKoshoryu]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!­!!!!!!!!

[N00BterminatorX]

blows my mind that this was made under snes limitations.

[zacharykelway]

It took me soooo long to beat this. you only got a few cracks at dracula and if you died. Back to the start of his level.Eventually you pull it off and wonder was it really worth it. Finger worn to the nub. You know your hands all sweaty from to manny runs at it.

[921144666]

[3SSJSonic]

 Master Cychreus brought me here

[dazzsheil]

Those first 5 seconds are the awesome build up to a fantastic and overpowering tune

[torchicguy]

Funky.

[DragonGodXIII]

@PTMDLBTSify Yeah, your better off with the PC Engine version, Rondo of Blood.

[madkiller656]

@DragonGodXIII do you have a link?

[DragonGodXIII]

@madkiller656 I don't have a link to any ROM versions. However, it is available on Virtual Console, and as a Pack-in in Dracula X Chronicles, along with a 2.5 D Remake that serves as DXC's main game.

[madkiller656]

@DragonGodXIII thanks!

[guardianfalco01]

This and Simons theme from Super Castlevana 4 is to good. :)

[Deathlock84]

Sounds like a guitar out of control in the beginning. In a GOOD way!

[MrRandomguy521]

so badass

[Ultralism]

Nice all around, sweet base line and drums.

[IanNewYasha]

Botchamania 174 brought me here.

[1997haxor528971]

@IanNewYasha My CHILDHOOD brought me here.

[GreenRedBlue20]

@IanNewYasha Botchamania, the best thing to watch on youtube along with game soundtracks.

[gongometube]

@PTMDLBTSify you are right. not as fun as C4 but worth a go.



[ditnopota]

@PTMDLBTSify You can with an SNES emulator, actually. Hell, I can send you some links to everything you'd need to download to play if you'd like.

[TheNostalgiaJunkie]

How I wish I could be as empty-headed as I was back then LOL.

[TheNostalgiaJunkie]

@TheNostalgiaJunkie Without it costing me of course.

[TheRealOmegaFlux13]

personally i like both versions of the song

[ryanster246]

@CF97FOREVER2 i do

[SUPERMATT5546]

@CF97FOREVER2

I doubt it

[nepomusik]

I gotta say, the SNES chiptune somehow makes Divine Bloodlines pretty....divine.

[kpoz12]

@CF97FOREVER2 Yep, probably the only Drac X song that is better than its Rondo counterpart

[FidFighter2]

Surprising how well this theme music sounds which is close to the original PC-Engine version, but still does a well-done effort for SNES.

[KirbyY15]

shit that's awesome! :O

oh i just gotta extend that :O

[solidmatic]

this one kool but it doesnt have the kickassness of the original

[Assassin7G3]

This is ok, but it is shit compared to the Original version.

[TenchiHawkwing]

@Assassin7G3 Personally I like this version more, it's got that funk.

[sparrowsanzo]

@Assassin7G3 True. It really isn't fair that we didn't get the original version on the PC Engine until years later.

[Assassin7G3]

@sparrowsanzo yep, and the fact the Original is Canon (making this game non-canon) means that we got screwed both by fact, it was a downgraded version and it wouldn't count as a part of the story. (it not important to everyone, and the game is decent) it lacks the castlevania charm compared to the original.

[shippidge5316]

That echoey beat in 0:48 reminds me of the past belmonts and hunters like Simon and stuff, or the past battles he had with Dracula:p

[shippidge5316]

This theme for Richter is almost like thinking to yourself that he came a long way for this, and it's his Destiny to finnaly kill Dracula once and For all, it kinda gives you this motivated and confidential feeling once you think about it:p he did came a long way in Symphony of the Night anyways^

[KurikazuTheWarrior]

@shippidge5316 yeah, but Alucard killed Shaft and Dracula for real. No im not saying Alucards better i like RIchter better, but just saying Alucard killed Dracula once and for all. If you look at the Castlevania games that take place after SOTN and not before all the antagonists try to get Dracula power but all fail in the process. Hell even in Lords of Shadow the final boss is Satan. I miss fighting Dracula, its all just random assholes now -_-

[SuperSketch008]

@KurikazuTheWarrior Uh...Dracula's always been the last boss, they only made a few exceptions, like in Lords of Shadow. Dracua never left.

[KurikazuTheWarrior]

@SuperSketch008 Always?

Aria of Sorrow - Graham( or Chaos depending on the souls equipped)

Dawn of Sorrow - Menace

And when i say Dracula i mean The Dracula that shoots fireballs from his cape and transforms into a monster when that fails. I mean the True Dracula that you fight in SOTN. I mean a challenging Dracula battle, that takes trial and error to win, not something i can beat on the first go.

Many times but not always kid......

[SuperSketch008]

@KurikazuTheWarrior I said a FEW exceptions. But I guess I understand what you mean now. An actually CHALLENGING Dracula would be nice.

[KurikazuTheWarrior]

@SuperSketch008 yeah, Dracula X Chronicles Dracula is challenging, especially with his 3rd form(after saving All 4 maidens) and SOTN's i took Dracula out first go, but it was hard.

Now i play Aria of Sorrow and Graham is easy, i didnt even have to heal nor use souls in this battle. I say if thier going to make a Final boss, dont make it as easy as the first one. Also if i sounded like a dick in my last comment i apologize.

[SuperSketch008]

@KurikazuTheWarrior You don't need to apologize. You were just stating your opinion.

[shippidge5316]

@KurikazuTheWarrior haha, I would have to agree^

[KurikazuTheWarrior]

@shippidge5316 glad someone else agrees ^_^

[93bendzsi]

Love the music but the game is pretty lame, i expected a better game after Super Castlevania 4

[butterfinger345]

@93bendzsi

Well its Castlevania, a belmont(usually) wielding a whip and being a badass.

Play the Japanese one(unless you already have) and then SC4 will be like childs play.

[Galvanez]

Why is it that the best track from every Castlevania soundtrack is ALWAYS the Stage 1 music for each game?

[Maliki79]

@Galvanez It does always seem to be that way... (And most "Sonic" type games best tracks are the second. Go figure.)

[Solon1]

One of the best Castlevania themes, and copying from pepekong, a reason for getting back to this game to finish it :p

[CanadianRoyals]

Dracula has seen this 3 times.

[pepekong]

This theme song is what dragged me into this game, and after some frustration, finished it.

[gmterminater]

wow konami sure has got the grooves haha

[SuperAnthonySixFour]

The beginning of this song reminds me of Fletch.

[Fatality65]

3 people got dismembered by Rictor Belmont.

[kmfdm5]

slap bas riff intro? nice

[KurikazuTheWarrior]

as difficult as this Castlevania is its worth playing to hear this theme and just to play as the badass Richter Belmont

[93bendzsi]

goes to the favorites

[slaymaster999]

the pc engine one was alot better imo, 

[HugTower]

@slaymaster999 Ah yes, but that seems to lack the killer bass of this version :P

[Skilletrocks1234]

its weird that this game has better music than its pc engine counterpart

(the PC engine is supposed to be better)

the music is the same but in this its more clearer and has more "UMPH" to it

[chugdog]

this could also be used in a breath of fire soundtrack. like a boss fight. =P anyway, i still love castlevania! haven't played the new school castlevania though. =) long live castlevania!

[HugTower]

Damn, that bassline!

[metroidpsyco]

omg let the funk live :D

[Supermariofan14]

If only Super Castlevania IV had this song!

[hebesphenomegacorona]

i love how this song is this badass funk song playing while you're in the 1300's

it sounds more like it would be the music for you being a cop and fighting drug dealers in new york

in power armor

[psycholink44]

@hebesphenomegacorona i don't like to be a know-it-all, but its actually 1792

[hebesphenomegacorona]

@psycholink44 it's all good, if i had known the proper date i'd have put that

now i'm just imagining playing this for like, mozart or something. maybe he'd start writing some parliament funkadelic music

[WPH15]

@hebesphenomegacorona Dracula X takes place in the 1700's dude, but I know what you mean

[imgonnaeatamoose]

@hebesphenomegacorona E swat style.

[Fritsie93]

@hebesphenomegacorona Actually it takes place in the 1790 or something. But thats fine, only a 500 year gap :P

[killkenny5000]

@hebesphenomegacorona well i believe castlevania takes place during the 1800s

[Randomaited]

@hebesphenomegacorona The game takes place in 1792. Trevor's game, Castlevania 3, take place in 1476, Simon's games take place in between 1691 (Castlevania & Super Castlevania 4) & 1698 (Castlevania 2).

[OSDolphin]

@hebesphenomegacorona Actually the 1700's I believe. 1300's was before Trevor.

[ManUtd4Ever1994]

@hebesphenomegacorona Actually this game is set in the late 18th century.

[Ratlegion]

@hebesphenomegacorona It's actually the late 1700's.

[mrbobmanbob]

@hebesphenomegacorona So... robocop?

[kaoz9000]

Liked so freaking much the remix they made to Castlevania 64 after this beauty of track.

[psycholink44]

man ppl r gonna hate me 4 this, this game IMO is better than SC4

[psycholink44]

Moonwalkin' time!

[Julienfun]

@psycholink44 LOL yeah it is ! *does trick to moonwalk in the game*

[KG7777]

SNES version of Bloodlines >>>>>>>>>> all other versions.

You know this to be true.

[Supermariofan14]

@KG7777 All SNES versions are the best. Think Simon's theme, vampire killer, bloody tears...

[KG7777]

@Supermariofan14

Ah, yes, I musn't forget those. Actually, the SNES had the best music, period.

[mariospyrospeed]

what if indiana jones starred in a castlevania game?

[RCCola339]

best...video game soundtrack...EVARR.

[1337grenade]

I wanna whip the shit outta some candles now!

[jc66594]

This is beyond epic.

[xlaider]

DAT BASS

[8968469]

it makes me feel like i want to whip some monsters.

[Fatality65]

imagine Michal Jackson dancing to this if he were still alive.

[cartrifride]

@Fatality65 yeah i don't thin he would because this is not an R&B type tune....

[Fatality65]

ok, weres my whip.....

[HxCTube]

Did Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, or AKira Yamaoka compose this?

[TGMagus]

@HxCTube

Nah, the Rondo of Blood version was done by Mikio Saito. The SNES arrangements were done by T.Tomita, M.Iwata, H.Ueko, Masahiko Kimura.

Masahiko Kimura did some of the Castlevania64 tracks, as well as some Dawn of Sorrow tracks. If you listen to the Dawn of Sorrow version of Vampire Killer and Beginning, they sound very similar to the versions from this SNES title.

[JamesMasonSunderland]

Damn that bass line is sexy.

[KevRetro]

Dracula X / Vampires kiss is the best game in the series, no other Castlevania music gives me goosebumps.

[hebesphenomegacorona]

i love how you're listening to this super funky song while fighting vampires in the middle ages. it's so out of place that it makes it extra epic

[bluewebheadwb]

@DarkDemonSonic07 only Sega Soundtracks i can think of is Sonic, Sonic 2, and........Sonic 3 haha, but im sure any game Konami made for Genesis has a good soundtrack

[Mutough]

Funky.

[DraculaXHunter101]

An underatted gem.Dracula X may have went back to the bare bones style of The orginal CastleVania's on NES but that's still a really great thing because this game was challenging and pretty fun.Despite the stiff controlls and Extremely Hard bosses.Also the music in this game is an epic some of the best the CastleVania series has to offer and I love how the remixed this into the N64 CastleVania as well.

[Johny2662]

I just bought this game recently. I gambled and won 121 dollars and the cheapest I could find for this game was 65$ but I really wanted to play it. I see the downfalls of the game the AVGN addressed, but regardless of anything else as long as you get the hang of the controls, everything else about this game is indeed something to OWN! I'm glad I do now. This game kicks ass!

[BaronGrackle]

@Johny2662 Throw vials of water at them, while shouting "HYDRO STORM!"

[CokeBagel]

@Johny2662 I got it for free with an emulator u shouldn't of wasted ur money I would of sent the link for u :)

[Johny2662]

@CokeBagel That's nice of you but I wanted the cartridge for my snes I had since 1991. Besides, I don't like emulators. The controls on the keyboard is too hard. And I don't have the money and also, I like playing from the console than on the computer. I'm collecting them now that they're antiques. ^^

[KHsonicdude23]

Rondo of Bloods version sounded better.

[Cyberleader12]

Richter > Alucard

[Jago666]

this is enough to make me chase after the cast of twilght armed with a whip anytime lol

[HugTower]

I think this version is actually better than the Akumajo because the beats seem more defined and that awesome bass line is much more audible.

However, just about every other song in Dracula X is not as good as Akumajo.

[Cyberleader12]

@HugTower I thought that The Begining was better in Dracula X and Bloody Tears but thats it.

[Slegnirp]

Never underestimate the power of SNES and it's sound.

[bluewebheadwb]

ok, i beat Super Castlvevania IV before i played this, just to refresh my mind to what made the game so great, which too me was the music......well i booted this bitch up and......... id be lying if i said this song didnt blow my fuckin balls off. A+, 10/10, 4 Stars, whatever. Konami does not fuck around with their soundtracks, man.

[hungarianbeast]

thank you very much!!! finally someone who shares the mp3 as well!!!!

[BlackZero98]

Sounds disco-ish with the guitar parts.

[johneymute]

when i first heard this tune i tout it was awesome untill i heard the pce original version,there,s no comparecy it just blows it away!!!!!!!!!!

[TomzZLkpg]

Wonderfull music! Sweet Nostalgy!

[Steve13121992]

I have found now the game was i do lose 10 years ago :-)

[psycholink44]

this is y 1995 is my faveorite year

[clayzee001]

@psycholink44 year i was born :) kinda wish i could have been born in 1980 tho so i wouldnt miss the 8 bit era

[Aedesyr]

getting the special ending is fucking impossible. And the final boss is just...frustrating. REALLy frustrating.

Anyways, the music is awsome.

[Kizuii]

Dracula is probably the games most easiest boss if you know what weapon to use xD

[Neogothic]

I fucking love that guitar lick at the beginning!

[blueshade26]

@Neogothic

me toooooo its so funky

[silverlunastar39]

This game was so...FUCKING....HARD. I beat it with the special ending, where you had to pass over the columns without falling, then get the key without dying, and then beat Dracula on more goddamn columns. This game was no joke, but well worth the play. Oh, and the music is rad.

[ZombiePizzaGuy1]

The first time I heard this track only 25 secons into it I thought 'Awesome... just awesome...'

[theGFrom]

best tune in ANY Castlevania game!!

[RCDeschene]

This and the Original Rondo of Blood are the best! And I will confess, I've come to like this over the original.

Sorry Chronicles... ^^;

[g8282]

this kicks ass!

[NintendoJunky]

epicness OVER 9000
