alucard's english voice is a loooot cooler...i have both 2....saturn's graphics are low...its a bit slower too...mist is faster...but overall its slow...it has maria...which is awesome...it has 2 more familliars...which is stupid (2nd fairy and demon) ...some extra weapons ...some uselless extra areas end enemies...dunno...for some reason i prefer the psx version...its probably cuze of the map screen...at saturn u need to pause the game in order to see the map.it sucks.and it loads way too much
awesome I was looking for a video of this fight where they didn't spam the holy water, you even got Maria to appear, it makes this fight so much more epic.
The FMV wasn't smoother on my PSX, since I had one of the 1995 models that were put together such that FMV often skipped. That may have been a reason I stopped playing video games for some time in the mid-90s, though I thought them interesting.
I wonder if it is cheaper to buy a Saturn and a copy of this game rather than buying a "black lable" PSX version now, though the online releases have reduced its price a little.
The Saturn version goes for around $40 to $50 used complete on ebay these days. Haven't checked PSX black label prices recently, but if they're about the same in price, you might as well give the Saturn version a try if nothing more for the few extras it has. You can always download the game relatively inexpensively off XBLA too.
i discover another thing of the saturn version of castlevania, the enemies have and increased AI and also the mist form of alucard is faster in this version than of psx , i have both versions and is truth what iám saying so the saturn is better
Die monster. You don't belong in this world! It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wished to pay me tribute. Tribute!? You steal men's souls and make them your slaves! Perhaps the same could be said of all religions... Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you! What is a man? *breaks goblet* A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk... Have at you!
Actually, it's the other way around. KCET originally developed the game for the PSX in 1997 and KCEN ported it to the Saturn a year later with a few extras.
If you've already plowed through the english version at least once, you shouldn't have an overly difficult time with the Saturn version. I wouldn't recommend it though for first time players of SotN though. Really only worth it for those who want to see the extras that were added to Saturn port.
I have never played the english version of this game.. lol. I figured it all out VIA Trial and error.. when I learend Maria wasn't playable in the english version I decided to ignore it and stick with this one.. Only once Have a cleared the first prolouge boss, with no damage... lol It is cool when Maria dashes over to help out..
@PPAChao YOU CAN JUST DOWNLOAD A TRANSLATION ONLINE OR OTHER WAYS AROUND SINCE OWN THE GAME DOWNLOAD THE ISO AND FIND A PATCH FOR A ENGLISH TRANSLATION THEN FIND OUT HOW TO BURN TO PLAY ON THE SEGA SATURN
the point of this vid was to try and show as much as possible for people who want to see if there are any differences between the saturn and psx versions. It was never intended on showing any skill or how fast I could do this etc.. Because at the time this vid was uploaded there was hardly any Saturn vids of SoTN and I just wanted to be the first to do it!
@DigiHatesMakingNames btw i think ur cpu just needs a little cleaning as all my desktop cpu is from 1997 and it can run xp and play dreamcast graphics at the most (with some lag but still) u just delete all that pr0nz! lol jk
Actually, the transparency effects are inferior, there is longer londing times, the map is a pain to access and there is some pretty bad slowdown at times. Otherwise its still very entertaining. I enjoy it a lot.
There's no good Sega Saturn emulator due to the complex hardware, you might be able to play it with "Satourne" is the best emulator so far, try Google It, i'm pretty sure it won't be hard to find the .iso in torrent networks like MiniNova. By the way, due to Bernie Stolar, many japanese sega saturn games never made it into the US or EU, so you'll have to know japanese to play this game :/, Sega of America allowed only the "top" games to be published in the US, like NiGHTS.
When you open the secret room with Richter why in the hell did they put those items in the candles like shield Rod, moon rod etc. if you can't use them with Richter and you are not able to keep them and have them when you start playing as alucard so you can use'em, can anybody answer me that?
This game is just fantastic, but dude, i can do it way better than you in killing dracula, or you just let yourself killed so Maria could save your ass??
It would be nice if someone would upload it. I'd love to hear it. But I still stand on Japanese voices owning all. Norio Wakamoto as Dracula? You can't go wrong there.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
if everyone that has a wii might get this game on the virtual console becuse sega and nintedo is good friends now hehe they just must start realease saturn games first.
The Saturn is far to0 complex of a System so emulation is pretty much out of the question, and CDs are too big to fit on the 512 MB flash ram of the Wii.
anyone wanna translate what they're saying? and i mean what they're REALLY saying in the japanese, not 'miserable pile of secrets' and 'words are as empty as your soul' etc
That's not true. Lots of games on the Sega Saturn look better than this one. You just need a team with good talent and programming skills developing for the Sega Saturn, and sure that wasn't in Konami Nagoya because they were the worst of Konami teams. While KCET did the original on PS1, KCE Nagoya was the one who handled this port.
Agreed, the saturn was much more capable at rendering sprite based games than the PS1 could, sony did'nt see a future in traditional 2-D games, so they did'nt dedicate much resources into the PS1. true story, sony did'nt want capcom to release Megaman X4, sony only agreed to allow capcom to release the game after capcom threatened to move Resident Evil 2 to the saturn, can you imagine? who knows how this would have effected the console war if capcom made good on their threat.
Lowest possible stats (Not terrible, but still every advanage would be nice)... to get the highest you have to beat him flawlessly, quickly sans sub weapons (Though picking one up will do a slight bonus). Though if you used item crash alot you'll start with a neutron bomb.
yeah I love the english voices too. I love seiyuus, but after 10+ years of watching anime, hasn't anyone notices how they all sound the same? all girls have that squealy voice. "younger teen" guys have that...voice and all the villains (like Dracula here) has that "villainy" voice? its hard to tell which voice actor is who lol
Yeah, I agree with you, all the guys sound rough, all the villains sound so damn evil, and all the girls have such high, squeaky voices that can get annoying.
in the japanese version,Dracula´s voice is also Cell´s voice from Dragon Ball Z(also M.Bison from Capcom Vs. Snk and Johnny from Guilty Gear)and Alucard´s voice is also Scar(from Fullmetal Alchemist) and Zero(Megaman X series)
what do you need to do to get Maria to turn into a Demon??
So far I can only manage about 199% of the map with Maria but I can't beat that stupid boss Galamoth.. so it looks like that 200% is some way off for now.. So far the only ending I've seen is Maria waiting at the lake where Dracula's castle used to be before she runs off alone..
I've no clue. This is a rip from the PSX Disc that has a dialog not used in the game at all. After checking some forums, I'm guessing that this ending was cut from both games. You wouldn't be able to find it with Maria anyway. It would be in Alucard's game.
