Super Famicom - Akumajou Dracula XX - Stage 2

aka Castlevania Dracula X. The Super Famicom port of Akumajo Dracula X : Chi no Rondo. Not as good as the original since it lacks Maria as a playable character, three "girls to be saved" leaving only two (Maria and Annette), no more animated scenes with dubbing, and not as much stages and secret passages as in the original. The sound quality of the musics remains hopefully close to the original thanks to the SPC of the Super Famicom. In this video, it's the second stage of the game, where you can hear the "Vampire Killer" theme.

This game wasn't a port of Chi no Rondo, which was only available on the Turbo Grafx Super CD. There are some similarities, but they're different games. It's really worth playing both. Especially Chi no Rondo.... One of my favorite games of all time.

oh yeah, im a retro gamer, thats probably why i like the old school games more than the new school ones. Super Nintendo is what i grew up with along with NES. Those are my favorite consoles of all time.

@legreckencriss The older games legitimately challenge you with difficult levels and boss battles that revolve around quick reflexes and pattern recognition. I don't like the 2d metroidvanias. Leveling systems complicate the game play too much. You either have to run around killing stuff for an eternity so you can deal damage to the boss or have to keep slugging away for hours per boss encounter. I did like the PS2 titles those did a good job capturing the classic vania feel in 3d.

Hardest castlevania game ever. At least the nes version was nice enough not to put you over a pit for the Dracula battle. I can only beat him with the Axe subweapon.

Lmfao how you tried to backflip into the orb @ the end and FAILED MISERABLY. :D

I remember one time when I was playing this level on the snes, I got to the drawbridge part, but Richter barely touch the part of the platform that triggers the drawbridge to fall and he actually jumped and missed the bridge! I was like 'wtf just happened?' and the funny thing is it didn't count as a death so it just kept showing that screen haha.

Bah! I'm allowed to backhand most of the whiners here contemptibly. Metaphorically speaking, anyway, not literally. My first Castlevania was one of my first gaming experiences. NO clue how old I was, but I was little. Tiny nowhere one horse crap town I grew up in, at the time, There was ONE arcade game in the town. Castlevania. In the Gas Station. Good old Quarter Eaters.
