The finest music in a NES game is from Castlevania III...I've ALWAYS thought that and always will. The woman who composed these wonderful songs is obviously classically trained. LOVELY!
It's a big reason I find Castlevania III to be the best in the entire series (even better than Symphony and Dracula X).
@djfakt I dunno....Super Castlevania IV had a very nice soundtrack. Each stage theme was very unique and gave the perfect atmosphere for the level you were playing.
@djfakt "even better then dracula X" OFCOURSE dracula X was a dissapointement against Rondo Of Blood, but yeah, even if i don't think CV3 was the best it sure was one of the best (personally my favourite Castlevania is probably Rondo Of Blood or SOTN)
@Luigi84289 nah it was overrated, the hardest was probably the dracula from simons quest (CV2) even with everything fully upgraded that guy was amazingly strong
Make sure you listen to the Japanese version as all the music in Akumajou Densetsu sounds much better thanks to Japanese NES having the option to expand music ability which American and Euro didn't have.
It's amazing how a NES game could have such an awesome soundtrack. Castlevania III hasn't bad songs, in my opinion. And by the way, this one(Aquarius) is my favorite.
No it doesn't! I had the hardest time with the doppleganger especially when I tried to beat the game without any of the helpers. That boss is easy if you have a helper, but if you don't, you'd better be on top of your game!
You also have to have good jumping and dodging skills since 4 hits will drop you and cost you your sub weapon and multi shots. But yeah, sacred water is the weapon I swear by in this game.
@jeffbrister2004 Agreed. I've been trying to beat Dracula's Curse again all week; it being Halloween and all. So far I've gotten stuck on stages 7, 8 and 9. 9 is fucking ridiculous.
Dude the game is easy! I've beaten it with everybody including Trevor alone! My favorite path is when you head to the marsh and eventually scale the cliff side below
@jeffbrister2004 Agreed. I've been trying to beat Dracula's Curse again all week; it being Halloween and all. So far I've gotten stuck on stages 7, 8 and 9. 9 is fucking ridiculous.
@jeffbrister2004 Yeah, so true. Though, I like to call my character FUJIMOTO. It gives you the guy who climbs everywhere in the beginning. Makes some hard places a lot easier
Level 9 is the is the hardest level on the whole game!! Because it is so long and it got too much small enemies and the worst and most annoying thing about that is that before you fight level's end boss you have to go trought spike ladders while avoiding those stupid medusa heads.
I agree that level 9 was pretty hard too, i just hate that rising water on this stage. Anyway, lucky this game wasn't too hard like some other castlevania games. Awesome game serie. =)
The low route was hella tough. This level was challenging, but not so bad. The skeleton knight later on was where I always gave up this route. Great song! I remember having to actually play the game just to hear this song. Now there's YouTube!
I loved all of these tracks. we couldn't wait to get out of class in college and play this game. We bought it as soon as it hit the shelves back in 1990. I used to say this song sounded like something Laurel and Hardy could dance to...
Makes you feel like THIS IS IT!!! ALMOST THERE BUOOY!! At least that's how it made me feel when I rented this game, and had to take it back due to school days...Ah memories!! Big ups on posting this. Now my favorite.
